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.

To be a part of a community that enjoys the medium of anime just like I do makes me happy. This platform has helped me look at different perspectives of a show, make friends, and know what is going on within the anime community. Last year was fun. Hope this year gets better.

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!

Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because… No matter how pathetic the reason, it’s enough to start war. War will never cease to exist… reasons can be thought up after the fact… Human nature pursues strife

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.

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!

2021 was a great year for anime. People have found themselves free with more time to be introduced to anime and with the added help of social media and anime content creators, anime itself has become mainstream and more socially welcomed. T'was a truely welcoming year for 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. ^_^
