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.



























espero que nesse ano seja mais acirrando.

I love anime, its openings are the songs that move my world and fill it with energy.

Being an anxiety patient I know I can't kick it out of life but Anime has helped me lot to get through it at every step. So I'm so grateful for anime to exist.

It be chaotic. It be wholesome. It be heart wrecking but it be a good year for anime.

Contributing to make "cartoons" mainstream in the future and renaming it to "Anime".

With so many anime that, instead of pandering to trendy stuff, were more like passion projects, 2021 made me feel "Anime is getting good again". Oddtaxi, Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi, Sonny Boy and Heike Monogatari made the year much more enjoyable.

All the released anime this year really came like a full course meal; light, heavy, sour, sweet and much more ( even bitter ).

I don't know which flopped harder: 2021, or The Promised Neverland Season 2 (that OP was pretty good though)!

Heres to another good year, cant wait for the next one!

This year not only gave me fantastic shows to view but it also gave me an addiction to seasonals. I'm still trying to figure out if that was a good thing.

Back in September of this year I started getting into anime, starting with MHA, (which I still have a soft spot for btw) and the most recent anime I've watched was Bleach. At the beginning of this year I decided to take a break from anime, but Akira is next. Keep watching anime!

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. ^_^

Thanks to MAL staff and fellow MAL users for making 2021 great! May your futures be as bright as your anime-watching rooms should be. May your hearts be as warm as the fabled MAL hoodie might be. May season 2022 of our era be as wonderful as we'd like it to be!

I'm thankful for Anime & Mangas being part of my life. Things wouldn't be the same without so many passionate and creative people who're giving life to characters we can relate to and creating marvelous stories for us to experience. It is truly wonderful, to say the least.

Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's, an indie horror game that you guys suggested, in mass, and I saw that Yamimash played it and he said it was really really good... So I'm very eager to see what is up.

Crunchyroll anime awards is a joke, sorry but I had to say it.

Mushoku Tensei was the gold, crunchyroll prolly had the worst anime of the year awards this year but its not gonna stop me from loving Mushoku Tensei.

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.

2021, another chapter completed! ? If there's one thing we Anime fans can all agree on; it's the fact that 2021 was one of the best years in the History of the animanga industry. True, the world has never understood our "taste~", but now more than ever can we be proud! To 2022!
