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.



























I live for anime!!

Don't criticize other anime because of your favorite anime. STAY HEALTHY AND KEEP WATCHING ANIME.

Not many will appreciate the beauty of their surroundings like you do. Spend time with those that do. Mushoku Tensei, 2021 was a golden Isekai-era ---!

Don't be shy or feel bad about enjoying anime. Don't let others judge the things you enjoy. You be you, and enjoy what you enjoy. Innocent or degenerate, you'll still be happy as an otaku, if you love being an otaku.

anime is a retreat from a retreat as in it is another version of tv and some look at tv as a retreat and anime fits thats because anything is possible as long as one can draw it

2021 was the year I got into anime and I'm glad I became an anime fan at the perfect year where there were a lot of banger shows each season. It feels really good to be an anime fan and I will be looking forward to what 2022 has in store for us.
