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 feel like 2023 was a turnover for anime so many new anime so many new fans new experiences and all over it was the best year with all these good animes and I hope 2024 would be even more exciting with all new animes

2023 was an absolutely amazing year for anime. So many great anime spanning a wide variety of genres. My favorite of the year was Dangers in My Heart so I totally recommend that. Although whichever you pick would probably be a good watch. Thanks MAL for yet another great year.

Please keep bringing the sequels of high rating anime Japanese industry and keep it up on the animations! Also, could you bring up a cool anime entirely based on dragon mysteries which includes cool dragon designs and moments!! And thank you! Anime makes my stressful day easy.

This year has been a great time to be an anime fan, we had a lot of selections to watch and every season was enjoyable and had atleast one Anime I'd look back on.Yet the one Anime that stands above all for me will be Vinland Saga S2 and for romance it'd be the Dangers in my Heart

Was good to be here.

This year was terrific with shows like JJK , Demon slayer, AOT finale , Frieren , Tonikawa . The forthcoming year looks good.

Makes you feel truly grateful to be alive at this point when so many great animes are coming out every year. 2023 was especially packed and 2024 seems even more great with many anticipated and long awaited sequels coming out. Can't wait to watch them all!

Vinland saga, I consider it as the best anime of 2023 including pluto, sousou no frieren etc. So far spring season was the best season for me at this point of view it was the best. Even the fall season was not that bad. So far pluto was the best one no argument.
