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.

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!

Waking up to reality maybe hard, but when cute characters are there we ought to be in our dreams.

it's been a tough year but these shows were my retreat from my home stress,school life and many more.

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!

Thank you for all of your hard work making MyAnimeList better and better!

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!

Anime made me realize how much talent and creativity there is in this world.

All these anime having part 1 and part 2 lately, meanwhile I'm still waiting for Covid 19 part 2 ?

Here's to one of the best year yet, can't wait to top it!!
Timcampy118
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
RedBell02
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 !

There was just one thing missing, I really needed: to meet up with the boys, make some noise, and get on it!

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.

Mushouku Tensei is the real anime of the year

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

I thank the organizers of the poll for unusual categories, as well as fo interesting nominees (and not just top popularity). Its good that even this year anime continues delight us with interesting works, although theres an opinion that the industry is experiencing its stagnation

Being an anxiety patient I know I can't kick it out of life but Anime has helped me lot to get through it at every step. So I'm so grateful for anime to exist.
SasuSona143
I've watched many anime in my life, many good, many bad. Many that were wrong to the source, and some that out shined the source. From the years of struggling to find anime, to now it is everywhere. I am glad ^w^.

I will be honest , I didn't expected much from this year's anime shows, I don't have words to express , some animes had a good ending ,some had a wholesome one and other's were just perfect, I can't wait for the new one's to come and I don't want to forget what had gone.
