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.













































2023 was an absolutely amazing year for anime. So many great anime spanning a wide variety of genres. My favorite of the year was Dangers in My Heart so I totally recommend that. Although whichever you pick would probably be a good watch. Thanks MAL for yet another great year.

Frieren was just a fire anime for this year, very logically, world mapping is really good, has a atmosphare like a Violet Evergarden, the roles of characters are very good, has a pretty good plot😁 over all, it was a good anime

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.

2023 was one heck of a rollercoaster ride! Romance, action, comedy - you name it. All in all, it was a fantastic year for anime, and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us anime fans! Bring on the epic battles, tear-jerking moments, and side-splitting laughs!

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.

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.
