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 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!

Ex-Arm is the best anime EVER.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke...

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

EX-ARM is a masterpiece,Dogeza de Tanondemita is the most wholesome show of the season and the most consistent show is undoubtedly " B :The Beginning Succession Jokes aside this years was better than the last one(at least in terms of anime ) best shows were SNK and BLUE PERIOD

Anime has been a nice way out of real life for me the past couple of years. It brings so much emotion where nothing else could!

The anime/manga community lost so many important people this past year- may them rest in peace, and may their legacies inspire even more amazing stories!

2021: The year anime moved from being the thing that held me together against all odds to being the thing positively I lived for week after week.
Plato-Senpai
There'll be always a moment of peace, to spend time just to watch anime alone. Maybe reading a manga or/and light novels, if people or an individual really want to immerse themselves further more than just anime alone. And of course, without the "noises" from the social media.

Didn't watch enough this year I have failed you MAL overlords
Ostrichsmoothies
Thank you everyone for a great year in the anime community
Diamond1580
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!
Ballistic_UwU
I have watched too much isekai. No shame
FelixIsBae
There is no greater happiness and peace than sitting on the couch with a cup of tea and watching this year's anime with your loved ones, creating memes, even crying sometimes but also admiring, learning and being enchanted ...
_swh_
Good year for anime
Myhighlo
This year was the year in which I was introduced to the world of anime. I am so happy to be able to enjoy this year with a vast variety of shows to binge watch every single day. I will never forget the day that I discovered the source in which gave a smile on my face.

This world is cruel but I still love you. Even if I sacrifice everything, I will protect you. Even if this is a mistake, I don’t doubt it. What is right is believing in myself strongly.
