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.













































Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the universe. But with anime and manga becoming more accessible now and celebrated worldwide, what a time to be alive.

Anime isn't a stress buster; it's a place where you feel at home.

2023: the year when animation graphics really blasted!

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".

Do you have enough time to watch anime? If College got to stressful it might fill me schedule. But Would you stop watching anime? Nah, I’d watch.

2023's motto: From amazing to horrible animes, passing through cultured to cute one's, 2023 was a roller-coaster journey fill of happiness and sadness, as well as disappointment, but most importantly, enjoyment.

Hooray for another yearbook of stuff I haven't watched.
RobbiRobb
Truly an amazing year for anime. Every season managed to produce 1 (or in some cases, more) anime that will end up in the discussion when it comes time to talk about anime of the decade.

This anime year was like One Piece. It was too long, but not long enough.

Surely next season of jujutsu kaisen won't kill off any more beloved characters... right?

The year 2023 was really something. This year some of the most anticipated shows came and some ended. Although I enjoyed this year with whole heartedly. I still remember some shows which were simply awesome and beautiful too.
