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.













































2023 Has Been Been a blissful year with So much Anime Helping Lifes&entertainment & teaching Us. I Seriously learned from Doctor Stone On survival techniques...& thinking outside the box from Classroom of the elites...& so on butthanks to the authors and the community and MAL.

This year has truly been incredible, but the high point for me were definitely the romance and action anime that released. They were absolutely amazing! Honestly, I can't wait to see what gems the new year brings in this genre too.

Finished voting. Not a fan of the voting options in the Infinite Loop (OP/ED that you can't stop replaying) category. "Idol" (Oshi no Ko OP) should have been a voting option there instead of "Kien Romance" or "Shinda".

you are my special

Life is like an anime. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's epic, sometimes it's boring. But it always tells us something!

2023 was really an amazing year filled with loads of animes that we were so eager to watch. Many unexpected twists and lots of enjoyable characters were displayed in all series. Every season was fun and challenging with excitement and enthusiasm. I look forward to this year,2024!

I really didn’t watch anime this year I guess. Having an 8-5 job really does that to you

This year was probably the highest peak for One Piece, but I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, when it ends it will somehow break the internet even harder.
