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 really hope to get good marks on tomorrow's maths test! What? I should have written something about anime or manga? Oh

Every anime is amazing... It just needs to have a good story, which is hard to find...

What a BANGER year for anime 2023 was. It had 2 of my now all time favourite anime, Kusuriya no Hitorigotou and Sousou no Frieren.

I never would've imagined that I'd be here right now. However I also don't really go anywhere so where else would I be? Here's to another great year of anime and fun!

A lot of amazing anime in 2023. What to say to wrap up 2023- Maybe " I have no enemies"

There should also be a category with various top anime genres

Another excellent year for anime and animation in general, from jujustu kaisen to heavenly delusion to Spider Man ADSV, 2023 met expectations. To all those who went through sleepless nights to make this possible I have six words for you; "Your Efforts Were Not In Vain"

Frieren was just a fire anime for this year, very logically, world mapping is really good, has a atmosphare like a Violet Evergarden, the roles of characters are very good, has a pretty good plot😁 over all, it was a good anime

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

Life is about two things: drinking milk and watching funny things on your TV. At least MAL helps with the latter.

It was a great year to watch anime, but I think this year will be even better with all the romance series that were announced.

What a wonderful year of anime! What else can I say? We had a ton of new and returning titles with hooking stories to tell. On top of we were also introduced to many entertaining characters. Not to mention all the banger openings. Next. Let's see what 2024 has to offer.

So fair 2024 is going off well with funny things going on and stuff, really happy they nominated Trickstar from High Card which was my suggestion so that feels great. Plus Suguru Geto is my babygirl. Other then that I’m hyped for what 2024 has in store

Anime is like walking into a world completely outside the realm of possibility. Anime is more then just animation… it’s an experience worth living through.
