This year featured some of the most gorgeous art I’ve ever seen from anime. Never before have I been easily able to show off a scene to friends and relish in just how amazing it is. The hard work put in by artists and animators is paying off big time and I can’t wait for more!

From Easter hunt to fantasy league to bunkasai...MAL has been an amazing ride this year like previous ones. So has anime. Due to pandemic many more people discovered their love for anime and they will eventually end up at MAL. Cheers to a great year!!

This year saw the release of great anime such as Chainsaw Man, Blue Lock, Ao Ashi, Bocchi the Rock, and the return of some legends such as Bleach. Also, sad for the end of Mob Psycho 100. I hope this year 2023 will be even better in both anime and manga.

There are so many genre defining series that were either created or continued this year. Out of roughly 500 anime I've seen, I've only given 10 of them a perfect MAL score... 4 of those are from 2022.
