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'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^.

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.

I have learned that, if you ever read a summary for an anime and think 'Might be good/ maybe, but I do not know if it is for me' ... WATCH AT LEAST 3 EPISODES OF IT! I have found that some of my new favorites by following this guide line.

Now looking back it was a great year for anime we got some very great tropes like that of an anime with just wholesomeness and normal life mixed with fantasy element without any action or drama in it and there were other great original stories like that of odd taxi and link click

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.
