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.

2021 was one my most favourite years both personally as well as in terms of quality Anime watched. My shows of the year were Tokyo Revengers, Aquatrope on white sand and To your eternity.

Anime was the most beautiful thing which I discovered in 2021.It truly changed my life in many different ways. Today I am able to think from a different point of view all thanks to the amazing characters. It made me laugh hysterically and at times it made me cry. Thankyou Anime.

Having happy and beautiful memories won’t always bring you salvation. The more beautiful a memory is, the more painful it can become.

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!

What a year, Ex-Arm set a new standard for trash Anime.
DarkLeafNinja
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!

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

When I am scared of trying to do something with the fear of it being bad, I remember ex-arm and just yolo it.

I have fun watching anime this year. I found a new type of anime. Plus I do think that this year is an anime year for me. I really hope something big for 2022. So, Until then, we just have to wait for something that going to make our heads explode. See you next time !

I’m grateful to MAL for being there with me every step of the way these past 10+ years. Thank you for providing such a fun place we can hang out and laugh with other fans! I look forward to the next 10!

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.
BillyCx
Don't be sad that a show that has ended, be happy of the journey you have experienced watching it.

I have learned absolutely nothing this year, but I will not lie, it was a fun one. Watching anime has definitely been my favorite time waster. If this gets put in the year book, just know, to anyone reading this- There was no mistake when we discovered anime.

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.

This world is cruel but I still love you. Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you. Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it. What is right is believing in myself strongly.
