What is the MAL Yearbook?
MAL Yearbook is an annual project where MyAnimeList members can reflect on the past year of anime.

2023 was a blast! I watched so many awesome anime and movies and had fun chatting with fellow fans. Writing comment for the anime Yearbook is such an unforgettable memory. I can't wait for more anime excitement in 2024!

This year come with a remarkable anime from great studios with top notch quality of anime and it is still pretty impressive to see an old anime came back from 30 years ago with bunch of surprise and being another great year of an anime.

“I am risking my life, but I don’t intend to throw it away.” - Megumi Fushiguro, shows that for everything you fight for you have to risk something eventhough it could happen that you lose/fail but you tried it with your whole heart. So risk it, the thought counts.

Pretty good year for all the industry!, some studios did marvelous things, others did that with some crushing into it, but the animes that came month after month prove to be something to remember, a big clap to all the studios, VA's and musicians!

Well I am just starting my anime journey, but just a note for my future self, the shows that left the biggest impression on me this year were shows from the past - OG EVA, Sonny boy and CSM. For this year JJK2 was the craziest ride so far. So much anime to catch up to btw)
