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.



























Best thing for me after coming back from collage is to watch anime and get rid of all the tension.I hope anime universe get bigger and better as time passes by.

When there is nothing in life, when you feel down and you feel like there is nothing you can do, you can always turn to anime to make you feel high in life and then sad, then happy again, and then sad again...I don't know, watch anime I guess.
TheBlazman
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

2021's Year of Anime is very much akin to 2021 as a whole. It gave us moments of joy, of excitement and sometimes even moved us to tears! But most notably it had a lot of garbage that you could only really laugh about.

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!

2021 might have been the most hectic year but in my opinion was the best year for me bcz of all the anime releases with genres ranging from Romance(kome san) to Tragedy(AOT), isekai, horror(Mieruko-chan) and much more.

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.
