    SuryaBlues

  • One of my favorite years for anime, next year will be even better.

    ShamelessShota

  • Voting for this yearbook sucks. Jujitsu Kaisen would literally win like all of these categories and the only thing it has his Mahito to vote for. Also where is my Vinland Saga representation? The two best animes of this year and next to nothing.

  • More anime that warms our hearts by leaving real life and diving into the world of dreams! 2024 give us this.

  • The absolute ingenuity and skill depicted by creators in 2023 made the year a lot bigger for everyone. The incontrovertible power to change lives, depicted by Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen and plenty others has made the year memorable. 2024 will be bigger.

  • We live in one of 2 possible parallel universes. In one of them, we will have No Game No Life season 2, and in the other, we will have Kaminaki Sekai season 2. I'll refrain myself and not divulge which one I would prefer.

  • imo the selection of nominees in the MAL Yearbook is so much better than the nominations of a certain Anime Awards show (you know which one). Here I don't find myself asking all the time; why wasn't that anime nominated for this category? Also love the fun category titles more :D

  • 2023 anime offers an exciting and innovative experience with stunning animation, complex stories, diverse genres, creative character designs, and the collaboration of renowned studios and artists, creating works of high quality.

    Gyzei

  • In my opinion, the only right opinion, Frieren is just the best anime of the year because of the characters, every single one of them is just perfectly designed and the interactions are just perfect.
