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.
A good year for anime

Whenever you’re facing a problem ask yourself wwtd (what would takemichi do) and then do the complete opposite

An alchemist crafting magic from mundane, a storyteller painting our souls with inspiration. In life's grand narrative, it's not just a chapter; it's the heartbeat, melody, and everlasting friend making the journey extraordinary. Cheers to anime—changing us, one frame at a time.

2023 was an absolutely amazing year for anime. So many great anime spanning a wide variety of genres. My favorite of the year was Dangers in My Heart so I totally recommend that. Although whichever you pick would probably be a good watch. Thanks MAL for yet another great year.

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.

It was one hell of a year. Some anime was so heartwarming and some was so cool and also some good romcom to I love the 2023 anime year. And I hope 2024 will be better than this.

It was an very interesting year.

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.
Jaykun07
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.

Anime is sin, anime is trash I dont put scores because all animes are 10s and all are 0s, anime is the physical embodiment of sins and even tho it feels good, still is trash because is a sin and sins feels good but also are bad so 10/10 and 0/10

When I read Malty melromarc it took me a while to know what the character was until I saw her and recognized her as bitch xD

I love sword art online, while other anime strengthens your imagination and because you become hikikomori. Sword Art Online makes me want to meet with new friend who loves Kenjutsu and follow sword competitions (rapier, saber, long sword).
