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.
What a ride 2021 was Lets prepare for next round

It's been one hell of a year, though I can't really remember what happend since my memory sucks. It seems like sequels and isekai are the most prominent anime this year, but I'm not complaining, since I'm a sucker for fantasy anime. I just hope 2022 will be an even better year.

The laws of space and time dictate that in 24 hours you can only physically watch 60 episodes of anime. That didn't stop me from completing One Piece in 3 days.

Everything is amazing with its quantity and quality. While I haven't seen many productions, the ones I have seen were great, and my anticipation of the episode itself was a lot of fun (and impatience). Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to make this year so amazing!

Another year filled with yet more Isekais. I don't know whether I should be happy or be disappointed.

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^.
Lisacat15
#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).
Ironaditya
Best year of original waifus with Vivy at the top!
limwin
If you have a bad day right now, believe me tomorrow or maybe next week will be a good day. Anime will be with you every time and Anime will be your motivation. Trying something new is never a pain
Michella_Rin
Vivy, ODDTAXI, 86, Mushoku Tensei, Ranking of Kings, and Link Click all in the same year. This was by far the greatest year in anime history, with so many masterpiece shows. (also watch Shadows House, it was very underrated)
weebheadkyle_png
This was a good year.
BLACK-RYO
This year I finally watched one anime. Maybe two.
SnailSavant
Many masterpiece anime in this 2021 but it's will be more masterpiece anime in 2022

The animes of 2021 were very good and quite funny, I hope that the anime industry continues to grow and continues to bring us new works as well as being able to rescue other works that were left behind

This year's anime have been hype! From action anime like Attack on Titan to romance like Horimiya or sport animes like Sk8 and isekai like Mushouku Tensei. Even the chill comedic anime like Dragon Maid S or Jahy Sama. All of them make me sit at the edge of my seat! Thank You!

The community behind the anime is like icing on the cake; irreplaceable and comes in all sorts to enjoy!

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!

This year has truly been a blessing for me. So many great anime has come out.

I must say that there are couple of good anime this year, but the most anime I liked this year are not in most of the selection. Which I understand, not everyone has the same taste. The best anime that I enjoyed in the year of 2021 is Horimiya because I read the manga which enjoy

2021 was fire and hard-to-choose characters and 2022 will be more fire????-️ And I will miss 2021 anime seasons?

I am small. I have no money. Yet I’ll still find the money for manga.

And to 1000 episodes we finally arrive while still pursuing the One Piece, maybe we saw in 2021 the last big shounen that could hit a mark like that because of season format. History dears!

The trailer for the new Kaguya-sama season was highkey better than most anime!

The international community here on MAL is close and amazing, whether you bond over the same anime or manga taste; I think we can all agree that MAL gives us all the opportunity to share our passions. Kampai to more beautiful years :) PS. Love & Strength to those who need it

A very important quote to me is: “An important thing to remember is, just because a person has problems communicating, doesn't mean that person doesn't want to communicate with others,” hearing this at the onset of each episode made me feel very happy!

All of the Anime here & their characters are good!
