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 don't care what other people think of me. I enjoy my life with my own rules

you guys have forgotten the best anime of 2021, Higehiro :)

So many anime in 2021! There's no stopping you from trying them out.

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.
Zach-chan
Everything is amazing with its quantity and quality. While I haven't seen many productions, the ones I have seen were great, and my anticipation of the episode itself was a lot of fun (and impatience). Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this year so amazing!

Anime is an integral part of my life, it's like I'm addicted to it and it is what keeps me sane these days. I can't go even a day without watching at least 1 ep of an anime. You could say that anime has saved me and it is saving many more people every day. I'm thankful to Japan.

Better than crunchy roll award winners probably hopefully maybe

I wonder and i hope, may the best ones win.

Fairy Ranmaru is 10/10 best Anime.

So much anime, so little time! I hope that MAL friends, staff, and I can always enjoy anime no matter how busy we are and thanks to all the staff from all the studios for your hard work, anime keeps getting better every year. Hope everything always goes well and is fun for us!

You’re going to go adrift. It will be into a world governed by the absurd.

I hope there will be more events like this, because it's fun

Hope for the best this year.

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.
Kielbaska
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 ---!

Keep on watching

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.

Thank you soo much for such a year filling with great anime.

I love watching anime a lot, It changed my life. I was inspired by its animation and started a youtube channel named BVJ Animation where I am trying to make high quality content like anime. Thank you anime for supporting me ??.

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!

2021 just might have made up for 2020

The international community here on MAL is close and amazing, whether you bond over the same anime or manga taste; I think we can all agree that MAL gives us all the opportunity to share our passions. Kampai to more beautiful years :) PS. Love & Strength to those who need it

Opera Girl (Kageki Shoujo) is supremely underrated! Which is kind of ironic for how tall it is!
Kaylof
There are many animes that I have not seen in this list HAHAHA. But of the few that I saw, I feel that I answered them with great sincerity. So I look forward to the results!

2021 was the year I started reading manga. I also became more open in the types of anime I watched!

Watching anime is getting easier, especially in my region, there are many official/legal platforms that provide anime, hopefully in the future anime information sources will be more interactive and available in many languages.

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!

This year absolutely blew my mind

2021 was amazing though.

Sometimes reality can be annoying but if I can escape to another world I would do so, That's why anime exist.

2021 was a great year in anime, if not in much else (thanks pandemic). Many strong releases with diverse and wonderful shows, perfectly suited for entertaining us while we were staying at home :)
MikeOnHighway61
The last year was fun! I somehow managed to watch 6 anime in 4 days... Well! My favorite anime of 2021 is definitely Durarara. I hope this year brings a lot of good anime as well!
your-mum
All the released anime this year really came like a full course meal; light, heavy, sour, sweet and much more ( even bitter ).

So long as problem doesn't cause problems, it can't be called a problem.

Watching anime is a lot of fun. But what's more fun is to be able to share our anime discussions & cute anime screenshots moment together with my myanimelist friend & DIscord friend. My enjoyment for cute anime will never end!
