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.



























The year where I was able to watch each and every genre and was able to expand my repertoire about these vast genres.

I have fun watching anime this year. I found a new type of anime. Plus I do think that this year is an anime year for me. I really hope something big for 2022. So, Until then, we just have to wait for something that going to make our heads explode. See you next time !

Moriarty the Patriot was such an amazing anime of all . It displayed a beautiful image of the discrimination between Earls and oppressed.

This is so much better than crunchyroll awards where the judges are the ones whose votes really matter. Loving all the events MAL has been doing recently and can't wait to see MAL grow even more. (thanks for the badges, keep giving us more~)

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!

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!

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.

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!

2021's Year of Anime is very much akin to 2021 as a whole. It gave us moments of joy, of excitement and sometimes even moved us to tears! But most notably it had a lot of garbage that you could only really laugh about.
