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 enjoy watching Japanese cartoons.

The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

I'm just grateful for all the animes, mangas, songs and to everyone making all these incredible and amazing piece of art. In 2021, we all were recovering from something in one way or another and anime played a big part in healing.To everyone making this possible, Minna Arigatou!

I'm not really picky about anime, neither can I watch anime non stop and on a roll like most hardcore fans do. Nevertheless I'm blessed to be a part of the community and i love anime and that's all is what matters to me. ^_^

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
So many great shows this year!!
Cupanda64
If you'll please excuse me, I still have 10,000 episodes across 120 titles to finish before next year's releases. I must prepare.

at first, I was scared to become an anime fan. I didn't want to be called "uwu anime sussy baka". ... this year I've completed my 100th series and discovered more about myself > because of Japanese animations of course

An amazing anime year. Loved a lot of animes. I hope every year will have amazing anime like 2021 from now on.
DARK_REPULSER_5
Vivy, ODDTAXI, 86, Mushoku Tensei, Ranking of Kings, and Link Click all in the same year. This was by far the greatest year in anime history, with so many masterpiece shows. (also watch Shadows House, it was very underrated)
weebheadkyle_png
So much anime, so little time! I hope that MAL friends, staff, and I can always enjoy anime no matter how busy we are and thanks to all the staff from all the studios for your hard work, anime keeps getting better every year. Hope everything always goes well and is fun for us!
