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.













































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

2023 came with a lot of suprises for me, in addition to the sequels that had been requested for a long time, the new animes was just captivanting, every season came along with a lot of variety, it was like a discovery with lot of genders i never though i woud like.

2023 couldn't have been better. Sousou no Frieren showed me of how precious time is and Tengoku Daimakyou reminded me how cruel yet kind people can be. A duo of incredible and unforgettable anime that i will always watch again and again.

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!

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.
