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.













































Has been a fun year of anime

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

Absolutely banger year for anime, cheers 2023

I started recording the animes I watched on MAL this year! There have been several comfort animes I loved this year such as Goofy Boss and Skip to Loafer, looking forward for more! There are insanely good anime like Oshi no Ko and Frieren too, what an insane year.

Too many good shows, too little time. Oh well, plan to watch list grew bigger once again

What a fantastic year for new anime, I found multiple new favorites in this batch of seasonals! The only thing that could make 2024 a better anime year is more good Shoujo adaptations :')

Not a bad year to be an otaku at all. 2023 brought a good amount of memorable Comforting shows along with a ton of generic ones. Still waiting for 'Anime Originals' to shine more in the upcoming years.Good to see some unexpected sequel announcements though.

Love these categories way more than crunchyroll awards. Also a lot more variety as well. Dr. Stone was on fire this season, definitely one of my faves of 2023. I also started one piece in 2023 and made it all the way through dressrosa!

This Year was the year I started watching animes and this was the year when my favourite anime (Aot) came to an end . Arigato everyone ❤️

Some very good sequels, rewatched some old animes like an idiot. Dont rewatch old series, its very bad for your health. Hope for a very good year of trash isekai, trash romance/slice of life, and sequels to series i loved and hated but still will be watching.

The eminence in the shadow and ragna crimson should be in the nominations for atleast a single category they are peak.

The character to protect instantly had me running to Gakuto Yuzuki, he’s such a pure and innocent soul that barely smiled 🫂 The character who’s existence is chaos section, everyone causes so much of it it’s hard to choose.🧱 Bond for best pet!! ✨✨
