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.
86 easily the best anime of the year in all aspects, if you disagree, FIGHT ME!

I laughed, I cried, I was upset, I was excited, I was nervous, I fell in love, I broke up, I thought, I screamed, I kept quiet, and I finally enjoyed it. And I made good memories for myself. I hope to go forward with anime like this every year and be satisfied and happy.-

2021 was my first year with MAL. And all these great anime made it so much more memorable. I hope all other years are as great as this. Also best romance show of this year were horimiya and tonikawa.

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

Thanks to MAL staff and fellow MAL users for making 2021 great! May your futures be as bright as your anime-watching rooms should be. May your hearts be as warm as the fabled MAL hoodie might be. May season 2022 of our era be as wonderful as we'd like it to be!

AnosVoldigoad985
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 ?

The laws of space and time dictate that in 24 hours you can only physically watch 60 episodes of anime. That didn't stop me from completing One Piece in 3 days.
ElqBell
I thank the organizers of the poll for unusual categories, as well as fo interesting nominees (and not just top popularity). Its good that even this year anime continues delight us with interesting works, although theres an opinion that the industry is experiencing its stagnation

2021's Year of Anime is very much akin to 2021 as a whole. It gave us moments of joy, of excitement and sometimes even moved us to tears! But most notably it had a lot of garbage that you could only really laugh about.

Anime is an integral part of my life, it's like I'm addicted to it and it is what keeps me sane these days. I can't go even a day without watching at least 1 ep of an anime. You could say that anime has saved me and it is saving many more people every day. I'm thankful to Japan.

Anyone has a choice/option to choose but that doesn't mean that you will pick any of them because they look good in our eye's or they have a advantage among all choices/options the one that we must choose was where our hearts will be happy.

Filled with disasters from Covid to Ex-Arm, 2021 has come to an end :). Although filled with some nasty flops and disasters the "Face" of Bojji, "Mehness" of Odokawa, "Animation" of Mushoku Tensei (and KnY) and much more has lifted up 2021 to another great year for anime :)

Cuteee year !!! :3

The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and the future makes you depressed out of anxiety, so by elimination present is likely the happiest time.

Everything is amazing with its quantity and quality. While I haven't seen many productions, the ones I have seen were great, and my anticipation of the episode itself was a lot of fun (and impatience). Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this year so amazing!

These are some great categories, it was hard to choose! I'm looking forward to see the winners!

This year's anime have been hype! From action anime like Attack on Titan to romance like Horimiya or sport animes like Sk8 and isekai like Mushouku Tensei. Even the chill comedic anime like Dragon Maid S or Jahy Sama. All of them make me sit at the edge of my seat! Thank You!
