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 like cats, but Bond is my fav dog that I like (I do not like dogs). However, I want to have an animal can look to the future, but I am not sure, because I cannot read other people's mind. But I love look Bond with Anya after all. And some questions are very interesting, thanks.

A lot of Isekai came out and I enjoyed 99% of them. Most of the anime had comedy and was never boring. One or two series on psychology was enough to make things interesting.

The absolute ingenuity and skill depicted by creators in 2023 made the year a lot bigger for everyone. The incontrovertible power to change lives, depicted by Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Bleach, Jujutsu Kaisen and plenty others has made the year memorable. 2024 will be bigger.

Pretty solid year but the amount of amazing openings that didn't get nominated is a crime

Great year for anime.

Soon, people who describe themselves as otaku may be able to create their own anime personally using AI entirely. Perhaps, the software's name will be 'Personal Anime Studios'.
Kunaryel
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

Those options does not make sense. This is why I do not like such "awards". Opinion of people vary too much.

Love these categories way more than crunchyroll awards. Also a lot more variety as well. Dr. Stone was on fire this season, definitely one of my faves of 2023. I also started one piece in 2023 and made it all the way through dressrosa!

Put an option to change the language in MAL, one also wants to see the reviews/opinions in a language in which they feel comfortable :)
leonrey08
This year, there are so many good anime to watch, hopefully next year will be the same. in this nomination, there are many anime that I don't know, so I don't really enjoy this vote, but never mind, I will still use this site as my benchmark to choose which anime I will watch.
Alvin4134
This year's roster was quite overwhelming, honestly, to me it felt as explosive as when anime became higher in demand over lockdown, even the less popular titles like Migi to Dali/Migi & Dali somehow were able to blend how I felt about anime this year, nearing perfection.
funkycirno
One the most comfiey and action paaked year allalong with great adaptation and ther sequels.OVERALL PREATTY NICE YEAR,But....Definitely the highlight being the end of an great or one the greatest story of all the ATTACK ON TITAN thanks isayama sensei for the great experience😁
