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.













































I wish there were more options in the categories. However, I praise that the choice options are very diverse. Moreover, the subtitles for each category clearly express what the categories demand.

2023 passed by so fast like "Bleach"! "Oshi no ko" felt like "Tengoku" & "Jigoku", "Jujutsu Kaisen" had a "Dark Gathering", but despite all that "I have no enemies" & I'm at peace like "Frieren".

In a year where nothing I did seem to work in favour of me and on the brink of falling into the hands of depression once more, these beautiful and awe-inspiring work of art came rushing to my aid-- dragging me out of the mud, now I feel like I could conquer the world. Thank you!

Why the hell, doesnt MAL put the english titles next to the Japanese titles. Not every ones a dweeeb. Plus most of the titles on crunchyroll/HiDive are in english as default.

Anime 2023 in a nutshell: Tons of Sequels, creampuffs, sparkling eyes & Pieyon, the return of good old school romance series, banger op and eds, young gojo, jap. voice actors trying to speak german "wow japanischer Tischler", vending machines and cats that can cook /ᐠ - ˕ -マ Ⳋ

Whenever life gets you down, just hold out for that one adaptation or second season you've been waiting to see forever. One good story can be worth living for.
