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.
this year was the year I started to watch one piece , attack on titan and many more the best 2023 anime for me was one piece and aot and jujutsu kaisen I like anime's so much but 2023 we lost nanami 😢

This was by far my best year for anime. So many top-class shows aired this year that on average, I was watching 10 shows per season and it was still not enough. 2023 is Definitely going down as one of the best years for anime in history.

Finished voting. Not a fan of the voting options in the Infinite Loop (OP/ED that you can't stop replaying) category. "Idol" (Oshi no Ko OP) should have been a voting option there instead of "Kien Romance" or "Shinda".

"And with a little luck, you'll find the anime that inspires you to do your best!" Keep documenting that anime here on MAL and let's have another great anime year! As Luffy would say, "if you don't take risks, you can't create a future" remember that! - Cory

There were a couple of anime that took me by surprise this year. My Happy Marriage, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, as well as A Girl and Her Guard Dog. Then there's the remake of Rurouni Kenshin that I still don't know how to feel about. Looking forward to another year of awesome anime!

Makes you feel truly grateful to be alive at this point when so many great animes are coming out every year. 2023 was especially packed and 2024 seems even more great with many anticipated and long awaited sequels coming out. Can't wait to watch them all!

What a great year for anime! I did miss a few nominations in the yearbook vote list though, like the latest seasons of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Mushoku Tensei, Dr. Stone and Bleach. Yes, I'm very fond of adventure and fantasy genres. Sorry not sorry. Anyway, much <3 fellow anime <3'ers!

I still strongly believe, that best OP/ED can be found in "Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These"!

This was a very special year for me when it comes to anime. During the beginning of the year, I went through an extremely difficult time involving family and school, and being able to relax with anime and the challenges of MAL helped me a lot. Thank you very much MAL! Happy 2024!

I ENJOYED THIS YEAR AND IT WAS REALLY REALLY FUN TO WATCH AND EXPERIENCE ALL THOSE NEW ANIMES. I HOPE THIS YEAR WILL BE MORE FUN THAN 2023.
