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.

A year of many premieres where most were the anime of romance who made significant advances

This year was quite the year! But I enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Every anime that aired in 2023 made a new impact, to I'm pretty sure everyone in some way. I look forward to experiencing new adventures with my 2D buddies! Gambare! ☆

Here's to a year of bangers hopefully 2024 has even more

undead unluck has the best OP of the year

A great year for Romance, Comedy and Slice of Life. There were many good ones beyond the popular ones. The OP and EDs were top-class. One of greatest years in indie anime history. Looking forward to 2024 to replicate the same. Ara~ ara~ sayonara~
Ayanabha_Banerje
It was a very good year, with many surprises on some anime unknown before their broadcast. As for the anime that had a new season or were simply continuing, it was also very good! (Long live the end of Wano). We hope 2024 will be just as good.

“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.

I rather be eaten by a zombie, than to not have my quote be published in the final Yearbook.

"Maybe the reason you don't see it is that it's stuck to your back. [...] So if someone is jealous of somebody else, well, then, it's probably because it's easier to see the plum on someone else's back than it is on your own. -TOHRUU HONDAAAA :DD

Is my quote great because it made the yearbook, or is the yearbook great because it has my quote.

Zom 100 pulled me back into seasonal anime only to not actually finish during the summer. At least it stuck the landing on Christmas!

Even if this world will darken and become unenjoyable I will still find a kind hand, a witty smile and a strong light to guide me. Thank you for the fun times

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.

2023 was the best year for any anime fans. We got tramautized by anime like jujutsu kaisen and at the same time felt wholesome watching ‘The girl I like forgot her glasses.'

The year passed by very quickly and we're spoon-fed a lot of top notch anime. Surely by now we all know Fullmetal Alchemist isn't actually the best of all time :)

What a great year for anime! I did miss a few nominations in the yearbook vote list though, like the latest seasons of Kimetsu no Yaiba, Mushoku Tensei, Dr. Stone and Bleach. Yes, I'm very fond of adventure and fantasy genres. Sorry not sorry. Anyway, much <3 fellow anime <3'ers!

The character to protect instantly had me running to Gakuto Yuzuki, he’s such a pure and innocent soul that barely smiled 🫂 The character who’s existence is chaos section, everyone causes so much of it it’s hard to choose.🧱 Bond for best pet!! ✨✨
