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.

This year was probably the best among others. What I was most happy about was the continuation of the series, which I really enjoyed... I hope they will release more good ones, the nominations are already behind us, we are waiting for the next ones!

This year was very special to me because I was able to watch some great animes in this year. The best anime of the year for me is "Oshi no Ko" undoubtedly.

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!

A great year with good animes

In my opinion, the only right opinion, Frieren is just the best anime of the year because of the characters, every single one of them is just perfectly designed and the interactions are just perfect.

Not a bad year to be an otaku at all. 2023 brought a good amount of memorable Comforting shows along with a ton of generic ones. Still waiting for 'Anime Originals' to shine more in the upcoming years.Good to see some unexpected sequel announcements though.
