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.

Years come and go but this year was unique and special (you are my specialz) especially so for the whole anime community as a whole. Many new weebs, veterans were born. At the end of the day whole community and all the anime we watched made our year better. Note: Touch grass tooo

This year's anime is a flavorful ice cream cone of entertainment—packed with storytelling, quirky characters, and limitless imagination. Each bite is pure creativity, and getting hooked on the unique taste of every story is inevitable. See you again next year for more!

Well, there are many extraordinary anime in 2023. But for me personally there are 2 that are the most memorable, sousou no frieren and maomao of course. I didn't expect to like it Even though I hate the historical genre and Frieren is really an extraordinary isekai anime

It's so interesting to see so many different anime that brought different people together and share feelings and thoughts with one another. The winners of the votes are obviously the ones that have resonated a lot with peoples' hearts.

I can't wait for more masterpiece anime in the future, hopefully there will be more, especially I want more anime romance or romantic subtext in the future😄

This is not just a great year for anime watchers who got to enjoy fabulous shows. This year has been a huge step for the conditions of animators and all those who work hard to make these masterpieces. Thank you for this amazing year!
