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.

New year, new beginnings, new anime, A chance to learn, to grow, to play. From Naruto to Sailor Moon, Anime helps us find our way. So let's embrace this new year, With anime by our side. We'll learn, we'll grow, we'll laugh, we'll cheer, And let our spirits fly high.

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 was one heck of a rollercoaster ride! Romance, action, comedy - you name it. All in all, it was a fantastic year for anime, and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us anime fans! Bring on the epic battles, tear-jerking moments, and side-splitting laughs!

Crazy how much you can watch in a year. Some of these shows I feel I haven't seen in forever!

2023 was a year that reminded us that no matter how much we old or change and evolve with all this conflict in the world no matter where you live or what kind problems you have anime is always there for you to help you forget all about it and get the courage to face one more day.

You guys will never get the nominations right now, will you!!

Obviously the best year I had, thanks to the anime world. It's my ikigai, my soul purpose to enjoy lie and I want to die watching anime. It's the only reason I give my best to my rest of the works(exercise, writing, skill learning, shigoto,...). Thanks to ANIME WORLD.

Back to the roots, I miss the 2000 - 2012 years. Full Metal Alchemist, Elfenlied and SAO. Please produce the good old stuff in the future.

2023 was a wonderful year for me 🤍 Loved every anime I've watched and zero regrets.

I haven't seen a lot of anime this year, but no balls to put this on the best comments.

Dark Gathering was so good, I completely forgot everything else from this year aside from Rokkudo's Bad Girls and Mashle
TheProAntagonist
This was such a remarkable year for anime from Luffy's epic Gear Five to Jujutsu Kaisen's jaw dropping Shibuya Incident. These really are the best times to live in for an anime fan.

One of the best year for anime. Astonishing!

2023 may’ve not been my year, but 2023 was a good year for anime. So I guess having good anime coming out in 2023 makes up for all the hell I went through in 2023.
Bright_Star645
2023 was a super amazing year full of exciting animes with a blast of really good opening and ending songs.

Zom 100 pulled me back into seasonal anime only to not actually finish during the summer. At least it stuck the landing on Christmas!

This year has been a less memorable year for me. In each season, there are some anime that are too dominant (Sosou no Frieren, Oshi No Ko, Kimetsu). Composition between anime romance and action are very unbalanced. Hopefully in 2024, more anime will be stable. Yohohoho
