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.
Hope we have a great 2024!

This year had so many new shoes and so many returning ones that I've been overwhelmed by it all. Can't wait to see how 2024 plays out.

100 Girlfriends & Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon are the most overrated romances this year! Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu best romance this year! Anata no Soba ni not on best OP list is criminal!

I don't know what to add here.

One heck of a year for me, both anime and manga wise. I’m happy with the progress I’ve made. Also Adonis definitely needs a little more than just a “time-out”.

The year 2023 had the least number of trash shows! I was bombarded with unexpected sequels but watched them all. So I can say it with confidence that, 2023 was an ultimate year for animes!

I also want a wife like Malika from Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army 😭😭 or a neighbor like Mahiru Shiina from Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken 😭😭

Man, 2023 was a blast for anime!! With a mixture of popular, returning anime and new underrated ones to enjoy. There was definitely something for everyone to enjoy. You just had to be there !!

I started recording the animes I watched on MAL this year! There have been several comfort animes I loved this year such as Goofy Boss and Skip to Loafer, looking forward for more! There are insanely good anime like Oshi no Ko and Frieren too, what an insane year.

almost every year generations keep changing therefore, the interesting thing is that each person deserves to be appreciated an interesting year where almost everyone was happy hopefully in the future the best quality of the next generation

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

“I’ll stop by once in a while” - Frieren. Is so real for me because I am so preoccupied with what’s in front of me that I forget, I need to keep up with other people in life too.

Even though Crimson was only in 1 category, they would have won both Best Boy and Best Girl. Just like Gigguk once said, "Sometimes it takes a real man to be Best Girl."

Some very good sequels, rewatched some old animes like an idiot. Dont rewatch old series, its very bad for your health. Hope for a very good year of trash isekai, trash romance/slice of life, and sequels to series i loved and hated but still will be watching.
