What is the MAL Yearbook?
MAL Yearbook is a new annual project where MyAnimeList members can reflect on the past year of anime and share what they enjoyed most. Using categories selected from the community and winners decided by you, we will create a special digital MAL Yearbook that we can enjoy in future years. Leave us your 2021 yearbook comment and vote for the nominations you think best fit those category titles.



























I'm still a newbie in the anime community. 2021 really make me like to watch anime.

2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for anime!!

It's been one hell of a year, though I can't really remember what happend since my memory sucks. It seems like sequels and isekai are the most prominent anime this year, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a sucker for fantasy anime. I just hope 2022 will be an even better year.

I must say that there are couple of good anime this year, but the most anime I liked this year are not in most of the selection. Which I understand, not everyone has the same taste. The best anime that I enjoyed in the year of 2021 is Horimiya because I read the manga which enjoy
PrimRose_20
As we grow up, our taste gradually changes in anime but great animes always hold their places in our heart .

Come on you have more than 100 anime in plan to watch when will that number become a 2 digit number before it becomes a 4 digit? Take a little time to relax and watch some anime ?

Komi-san the most overrated anime ever. Manga might be good but the anime just not it chief. Fight me. Ogiwara Sayu best girl! Horimiya and Higehiro best animes of 2021 hands down.

Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… No matter how pathetic the reason, it’s enough to start war. War will never cease to exist… reasons can be thought up after the fact… Human nature pursues strife
MysticShade
If anything bothers you just take a anime shot and everything will not just be fine but infact will be GREAT! ........i don't understand why some people still don't get anime. But anyways, the great thing is we're being a part of a history making with aot finals~

Some characters are swords made to defend, and some shields made to attack. But when the time comes they can finally do what they were made for. Attack or defend.
