What is the MAL Yearbook?
MAL Yearbook is an annual project where MyAnimeList members can reflect on the past year of anime. Using categories selected from the community and winners decided by you, together we will create a special digital MAL Yearbook that we can enjoy in years to come.













































Honestly, I'm not really familiar with the OP/ED that are included in this yearbook. Some was pretty good ngl.

2023 was a hard year. Losing family members, taking an exam which determines my future and college, but I'm glad I didn't stop watching anime even though I thought of doing so. I'm starting to understand why people tend to like wholesome/cute animes as they age lol. Thank You!

The 2023 anime season was my last before taking a big step towards adulthood, going to college. And I can say it was a memorable one, I watched a lot of anime. Hopefully life wont become too hard and I will get to watch my favorite anime with a smile on my face. Also ty MAL staff

This year has been a great time to be an anime fan, we had a lot of selections to watch and every season was enjoyable and had atleast one Anime I'd look back on.Yet the one Anime that stands above all for me will be Vinland Saga S2 and for romance it'd be the Dangers in my Heart
