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.

Thank you 2021 anime. Some is good, some is bad, but I like anime in this year. My most favourite anime is Fruits Basket Final SS. This is one of memorable summary that I ever seen. I also reccommend Sonny Boy and Kageki Shoujo in this year. Sarasa and Honda, Tooru Best Girl 2021

Come on you have more than 100 anime in plan to watch when will that number become a 2 digit number before it becomes a 4 digit? Take a little time to relax and watch some anime ?

2021 for anime was like a lottery. You either got a great season with banger animes and another season where you were empty-handed.

And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!

2021 was a year to behold for anime. The animators put their heart into their work like Vivy did with her singing. Give these overworked heroes a round of applause!

If you ever feel bad, just remember that Ex-Arm exists. Then feel worse. (:

2021 was my first year with MAL. And all these great anime made it so much more memorable. I hope all other years are as great as this. Also best romance show of this year were horimiya and tonikawa.

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!

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.

There is no greater happiness and peace than sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and watching this year's anime with your loved ones, creating memes, even crying sometimes but also admiring, learning and being enchanted ...

This year has been amazing and packed but my favourite anime of this year was "Tokyo Revengers", The theme of changing the present by going into the past and the fact that all this was done by a delinquent is just fascinating and Baji's passing made it better and more tragic.
XxSinpaixX
This year was... questionable??
