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 love this year

The journey of a weeb is arduous to say the least. There will never be enough time or money courtesy of mangas, their usually banger adaptations and waifu merch. But even living in a car with said waifu merch, its worth it. To many more years of anime and manga! Cheers!

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

Have another happy anime year!!!

I guess it was a pretty good year.

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

Fiquei muito feliz em acompanhar esses novos animes e temporadas. O ano se foi, junto com varias lembranças fantásticas, Mas vamos aguardar por mais momentos como esse ano que passou.

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
