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.













































Great year!
MrSpyper
Enjoyed the time I spent watching anime this year, and looking forward to watching some more next year!

2023 passed by so fast like "Bleach"! "Oshi no ko" felt like "Tengoku" & "Jigoku", "Jujutsu Kaisen" had a "Dark Gathering", but despite all that "I have no enemies" & I'm at peace like "Frieren".

Vinland saga, I consider it as the best anime of 2023 including pluto, sousou no frieren etc. So far spring season was the best season for me at this point of view it was the best. Even the fall season was not that bad. So far pluto was the best one no argument.

In a year where nothing I did seem to work in favour of me and on the brink of falling into the hands of depression once more, these beautiful and awe-inspiring work of art came rushing to my aid-- dragging me out of the mud, now I feel like I could conquer the world. Thank you!

Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague is underrated. Also, where's BOCCHI THE ROCK.

Watching Anime gives me life lessons I never knew I needed, the bonus is I watch new a different characters go through things and come out better in the end. There’s always something new and different it’s exciting to see what will come out next.

I like cats, but Bond is my fav dog that I like (I do not like dogs). However, I want to have an animal can look to the future, but I am not sure, because I cannot read other people's mind. But I love look Bond with Anya after all. And some questions are very interesting, thanks.

What a wonderful year of anime! What else can I say? We had a ton of new and returning titles with hooking stories to tell. On top of we were also introduced to many entertaining characters. Not to mention all the banger openings. Next. Let's see what 2024 has to offer.

What a great year for anime! I did miss a few nominations in the yearbook vote list though, like the latest seasons of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Mushoku Tensei, Dr. Stone and Bleach. Yes, I'm very fond of adventure and fantasy genres. Sorry not sorry. Anyway, much <3 fellow anime <3'ers!
