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.

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.

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.

Last year was great for anime, lots of great shows, I can't wait to see what surprises are coming this year!
Felpzz
most of these characters are quite unique and from my POV their backstory is what makes them who the are and it's interesting seeing different animes having their characters have to go through difficult and happy moments in way it shows how they can change their personality
