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.

All the anime in this humor section are not that funny. It's very boring that you can't add to the lists :(

One of the best years for anime. It surpassed last year in terms of the number of good animes to watch, unique stories and good stories, as well as having more surprises this year.

Best year for manga readers

Some ppl call anime a mistake and trash But for me, for us its something more than "chinnese cartoons" Anime can make my mood, feel better, can motivate, it can make me happy, angry or even cry. Thats normal cartoon but its change lives.

Lets hope 2024 is just as good with anime as 2023!

This is not just a great year for anime watchers who got to enjoy fabulous shows. This year has been a huge step for the conditions of animators and all those who work hard to make these masterpieces. Thank you for this amazing year!

I don't know 2/3 of the animes here lol

This year, anime enthusiasts enjoyed a diverse season with a shower of isekai, a sprinkle of romance, and an adventurous storm. A perfect blend of imaginative realms, heartwarming tales, and thrilling journeys.

2023 was one heck of a rollercoaster ride! Romance, action, comedy - you name it. All in all, it was a fantastic year for anime, and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us anime fans! Bring on the epic battles, tear-jerking moments, and side-splitting laughs!
Shamblecorpse
Anime is sin, anime is trash I dont put scores because all animes are 10s and all are 0s, anime is the physical embodiment of sins and even tho it feels good, still is trash because is a sin and sins feels good but also are bad so 10/10 and 0/10

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.

The year 2023 had the least number of trash shows! I was bombarded with unexpected sequels but watched them all. So I can say it with confidence that, 2023 was an ultimate year for animes!

2023 anime was pretty cool cant wait for 2024

Voting for this yearbook sucks. Jujitsu Kaisen would literally win like all of these categories and the only thing it has his Mahito to vote for. Also where is my Vinland Saga representation? The two best animes of this year and next to nothing.
Vincentzrs
People will keep saying "This is the year for anime" each year at this rate, just look at these candidates. It's very hard to choose from either ;-:

This filled with good anime and music, i could have used the free my own anime in the yearbook categories l, but still it was very good, favourite continuing anime of the year demon slayer, favourite new anime of the year frieren, favourite song of the year ambivalent by uru
shriek05
It has been a crazy good year for anime and myself aswell. Alot of new series i have now come to love and continuations i have been dying to watch aired. I wish you all the best for 2024!

This year's roster was quite overwhelming, honestly, to me it felt as explosive as when anime became higher in demand over lockdown, even the less popular titles like Migi to Dali/Migi & Dali somehow were able to blend how I felt about anime this year, nearing perfection.

If you like animes you can be my pal, If you are a otaku... You can be todo. Happy New Year
