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.













































Shoutout to my jujutsu kaisen hubbies! The list grew exponentially with the newest season, but I love you all equally ;)

Here’s to another year of anime! Let’s see how this year’s anime stacks up against last year!

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

It was a good year... and then there was that one anime where the MC couldn't get it up...

tfw when most of the voting categories only have stuff on offer that you hate...

2023 was the best year for any anime fans. We got tramautized by anime like jujutsu kaisen and at the same time felt wholesome watching ‘The girl I like forgot her glasses.'

Why every good thing must come to an end?? so that we don't take things for granted.

2023 came with a lot of suprises for me, in addition to the sequels that had been requested for a long time, the new animes was just captivanting, every season came along with a lot of variety, it was like a discovery with lot of genders i never though i woud like.
MAITcoelho
It's been a great year for anime, hopefully this year will be just as great
IA_22
Absolute peak of a year
TheSmallNoNo1
Just watching what airs without checking social media about it is the best. Obviously need to check MAL though
PuurLord
It was a mixed year to say the least most of the engaging Anime were all sequels hence the mixed feelings.
Tiz-B
This year's demon slayer was mid. Anyone who likes this season should brothel & cross-dress themselves like our 3 MC's did last season.
jaxjax2234
I accidentally got addicted to anime. I think getting addicted to drugs would be healthier.
TodiT
2023 Was one of the best years for anime, the Amount of anime that came out that made you feel something inside was truly amazing.

Oshi no Ko got robbed

Let us celebrate not just the winners, but every soul who embarked on the journey of emotions, laughter, and adventure by simply watching. May our screens continue to be adorned with the magic of animation, and may our hearts forever beat to the rhythm of unforgettable tales.

2023 was by far my best anime year, I achieved and discovered a lot. I have watched the entire bleach series, I got to witness my favorite anime "shingeki no kyojin" end in a magnificent way, and I got to watch a lot of seasonal anime that cheered me up during my lowest days…

Life is like a bunch of recommended anime you never know what you are gonna get.

A good anime will come and go by the time, but sometimes you need to look back remember where you started and makes you like today.

May this year, be without fear. Be a dear, not shedding a tear. Full of hope, love and laughter. 2024 is what we are after. -Lots of love, Babblefish

Kingdoms of Ruin is a better show than The Rising The Shield Hero
ItIsITimothai
Anime? What's that? I havent watched 82 Anime within the past 6 months. What are you talking about? What's my favorite anime? I can tell you it's definitely not The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotton. Idk why you would ever think that.
beast0609
I barely watched any anime last year so
