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.

Won't regret anything watched this year, every recommendation and everything done was great.

Bye, 2023. You did good, I suppose, though I’m shocked that somehow the isekai well didn’t finally run dry again this year. Weird, because I could’ve sworn I saw all this year’s quirky smart boys travel to a faraway land three years ago. Who am I kidding, I still watch them too.

The 2023 anime season was my last before taking a big step towards adulthood, going to college. And I can say it was a memorable one, I watched a lot of anime. Hopefully life wont become too hard and I will get to watch my favorite anime with a smile on my face. Also ty MAL staff

SuperFan123
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

The first two seasons of 2023 made a big impression on me, I had a great time watching anime last year and I hope this happens again this year

This was indeed an amazing year for anime and I'm hoping for even better in 2024 and beyond. There were many obstacles throughout the way but in the end all expectations were met and exceeded. I am truly blessed to be born in an era where anime exists ^_^

This year's animes were perfect with their visuality. And the sequals made the audience satisfied. I hope every year continues like this year. <3

Mushoko tensei is the best thing in 2023.

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

2023 was a good year for anime 😭
