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 guess that's enough isekai for me

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.

This year is my second year on anime watching and I still have fun. The point is this year was balanced enough for me to continue watching anime, especially on action and comedy. Also the comedy's of this year made me feel relaxed enough while I was stressed. New year..

Pluto finally releasing? Final of AoT? Kuma backstory? Frieren dethroning FMA:B? Another "final" Miyazaki film? Four whole chapters of Berserk? What another wild year

Everything that happens in life only occurs once. Something similar may occur again, but there will be at least a few small differences.

I still strongly believe, that best OP/ED can be found in "Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These"!

A great year with good animes
justanto2k05
For this year was amazing anime to have, but unfortunately this year too many delayed anime have happens (especially in winter). Hopefully the anime can be decrease a little this year to exceed the quality over quantity.

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.

This was a great year for anime, as long as you forget Ojou to Banken kun exists.

Mahito did nothing wrong

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.

No way you guys didn't nominate Oshi No Ko and Frieren's Yoasobi songs in the OP categories or didn't nominate Ichikawa & Yamada for cutest couple lol
