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.
Some of my favorites are in the nominations this time but some are not in the nominations even though this is the best year for me watching a lot of very entertaining anime after a tired day at work, thank you for everything!

How is Oshi no Ko nowhere in this survey ? It was one of the biggest titles in 2023!

Cheers to the New Year!

The best anime is the anime that brings the storyline forward better. The point is that trash harem anime and SoL anime are the best.

"In life's anime, beauty isn't just in triumph over obstacles. It's found in the artistry of facing challenges with courage, unwavering determination, and the celestial strength within. These scenes promise moments of triumph, painting our existence with breathtaking moments.”

Oshi No Ko should win Anime of the year. AOT ending was sub par, I am pro fictional war crime.

Year 2023 is a pack of all emotions and and also entertaining. But my favourite anime is always Attack on titan (AOT) and i will miss AOT of my entire life.

Mahito needs to be put to bed before he does anything else wacky next year

This year's anime is a flavorful ice cream cone of entertainment—packed with storytelling, quirky characters, and limitless imagination. Each bite is pure creativity, and getting hooked on the unique taste of every story is inevitable. See you again next year for more!

Uhh, I reccomend 'the 100 Girlfriends' that was shockingly good for this year, looking forward to 2024. If Frieren manages to stay top 10 I'll be impressed, hope it continues to be great in the episodes coming!!

There were a couple of anime that took me by surprise this year. My Happy Marriage, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, as well as A Girl and Her Guard Dog. Then there's the remake of Rurouni Kenshin that I still don't know how to feel about. Looking forward to another year of awesome anime!
Aritree
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

This year, anime kept me company through everything. I hope I keep coming back to them whenever I wanna ease my mind and I hope it was and will be as comforting to everyone as to me. 🤎

What are these nominees? The most no name anime I've ever seen. Like who watches every 0815 anime with 5-7/10 star reviews? I dont need One Piece or Naruto but at least something that people actually have watched. I couldnt vote for most of the nominees...
Lunoki
The eminence in the shadow and ragna crimson should be in the nominations for atleast a single category they are peak.
Gigaalpha
anime was a mistake.
jimmyjohns2323
next year (A)I will vote (Again)

WHY UNDEAD GIRL ENDING IS NOT AN OPTION, IS THE BEST ENDING OF ALL TIMES!!!!!! Also, would be nice to have an category of "underated animes" or something like that, I really liked Under Ninja but couldn't vote for it because it's category is not well related with it.
