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.













































The anime industry is the symbol of late capitalism.

This year come with a remarkable anime from great studios with top notch quality of anime and it is still pretty impressive to see an old anime came back from 30 years ago with bunch of surprise and being another great year of an anime.

It may be for a moment, but my fire roars up so bright and hot, it's almost blinding. And then, all that remains is pure white ash. There are no embers left...just pure white ash.

When life's a jest, and skies are gray, Anime's laughter lights the way. In dull moments, when spirits droop, Its quirky tales are the ultimate scoop!

Anime is just like people, there are ones u want to be friends with, and others u want truck-san to hit them.

It would be nice if there was a form where people could write their own stories.

Do you have enough time to watch anime? If College got to stressful it might fill me schedule. But Would you stop watching anime? Nah, I’d watch.

Watch anime to escape reality until it becomes reality .
Tanpra_Naymay
2023 was the best year in term of both anime and movies, in comparison 2024 feels lackluster. Hope it gets better. AOT ended, jujutsu kaisen s3 ended, gojo died, nanami died, emma(toko revengers) died, ai hoshino died. goodluck to me for 2024.
WangLing720
I sure as heck don't recognize half of these animes that are these choices.
