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.



























Covid = Online Class = Watch Anime = No Study = Bad Grades = Drop Out = Get A Job = Earn Money = Got Rich = Watch More Anime

#2021 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).

Vivy was a masterpiece!!

2021 was rough but anime 2021 was lit. Thanks for helping with noting things to watch!

A very important quote to me is: “An important thing to remember is, just because a person has problems communicating, doesn't mean that person doesn't want to communicate with others,” hearing this at the onset of each episode made me feel very happy!

This year 2021 was full of great surprises and good animes where you can take refuge and feel the serenity that they emanate, and experience unique sensations.

I hope Komi-san will win!

Another great year for mainstream anime. If only I had watched and enjoyed any of them.

I've watched many anime in my life, many good, many bad. Many that were wrong to the source, and some that out shined the source. From the years of struggling to find anime, to now it is everywhere. I am glad ^w^.

Another great year of anime. For years to come hopefully we can look back and appreciate these new works.

Watching anime is getting easier, especially in my region, there are many official/legal platforms that provide anime, hopefully in the future anime information sources will be more interactive and available in many languages.

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
Tokyo revengers was the best this year in my opinion
PutName_Here
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.

Cheers to one more year of not taking baths, the ladies love that.

Protect Bojji Ex-Arm is Hilarious Non Non Biyori Nonstop is Cute Isekai Anime are overused and needs to reduce Seriously stop there's too much isekai anime
IanGamingX
This year is a pretty good year for anime. We've got some amazing new shows like Mushoku Tensei, Ousama Ranking, Odd Taxi & 86. But we also got some shit like Mid Hero season 6, Bronze End and Ex-Arm. This year was a fun rollercoaster and I'm hoping that 2022 will be even better.

Watching anime is a lot of fun. But what's more fun is to be able to share our anime discussions & cute anime screenshots moment together with my myanimelist friend & DIscord friend. My enjoyment for cute anime will never end!

"Draken te amo" - Draken, Tokyo Revengers Anime popped off in 2021, and so did MAL! I'm glad I get to share my interest with everyone on this site!
Bongoblaster
Now looking back it was a great year for anime we got some very great tropes like that of an anime with just wholesomeness and normal life mixed with fantasy element without any action or drama in it and there were other great original stories like that of odd taxi and link click

i can remember anime name's in japanese, but i can barely remember my own birthday.
