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.



























This year I hope the animes are just as good as last year's, and I hope I can continue to use Myanimelist. To keep track of each of them, they are the best, keep it up.

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.

This year was the year in which I was introduced to the world of anime. I am so happy to be able to enjoy this year with a vast variety of shows to binge watch every single day. I will never forget the day that I discovered the source in which gave a smile on my face.

For everyone feeling lost or lonely in this world, don't be afraid to reach out and find yourself some anime buddies. Remember: “Being lonely is more painful then getting hurt.” – Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece). We're not alone on this planet!
JValiente
EX-ARM is a masterpiece,Dogeza de Tanondemita is the most wholesome show of the season and the most consistent show is undoubtedly " B :The Beginning Succession Jokes aside this years was better than the last one(at least in terms of anime ) best shows were SNK and BLUE PERIOD

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!

#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).

In 2021, we learned from anime that adulthood sucks, dragons must also pay their taxes like good citizens, being undead does not have to stop you from being a good parent, former yakuza make great homemakers, and to never forget the tale of the Heike. A splendid year indeed!
AnnaSartin
To another year of great anime . KANPAI !!
