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.

most of these characters are quite unique and from my POV their backstory is what makes them who the are and it's interesting seeing different animes having their characters have to go through difficult and happy moments in way it shows how they can change their personality

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!

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

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 The Anime Year for generations to come, had everything from Attack on Titan to Ex Arm, from Komi san to To your Eternity. Glad I watched so many shows this year, but at the same time sad that I skipped so many gems( will definitely watch them).

I started watching anime in August 2021 But man i enjoyed watching romance ! I hope 2022 will be way better

A solid year of anime Rip to one of the goats Kentaro Miura, also watch one piece
BrokenButter
2021 was a fascinating Year for anime, From Masterpiece that Odd Taxi offer to Ex-Arm that keeps the viewer give that always giving for better or for worse (Mostly Worse). Definitely gonna miss 2021 as The Most Busiest anime came for long time.

2021 was rough but anime 2021 was lit. Thanks for helping with noting things to watch!

Having happy and beautiful memories won’t always bring you salvation. The more beautiful a memory is, the more painful it can become.

Another year, another quarantine. BUT WITH MUCH MORE ANIME. Thank you anime for making it so much more bearable.
