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.

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!

Lots of Interesting Animes were published in the year of 2023. I also felt that some of the options were equally good that it was hard to choose. Overall the season of 2023 had quite a major release of anime. It also had a few server break kind of moments for some ongoing anime.

When life's a jest, and skies are gray, Anime's laughter lights the way. In dull moments, when spirits droop, Its quirky tales are the ultimate scoop!

Anime in a Year was pretty solid with great characters and a lot of revelations. A lot of catching OPs and EDs. Hope in 2024 lots of joyfull characters and lots of storytelling to keep us entertained.
