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.

Well this year has been pretty hectic. We got to finish attack on titan saw a legend finish finally. Then saw an genre get flipped with oshi no ko it reinvented the genre that we know as Idol. the first episode was unforgettable. Saw a Legend being made with frieren at the end.

So fair 2024 is going off well with funny things going on and stuff, really happy they nominated Trickstar from High Card which was my suggestion so that feels great. Plus Suguru Geto is my babygirl. Other then that I’m hyped for what 2024 has in store

Why the hell, doesnt MAL put the english titles next to the Japanese titles. Not every ones a dweeeb. Plus most of the titles on crunchyroll/HiDive are in english as default.

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

To sum up the 2023 Anime year: “Specialz”
-_-meh-_-
imo the selection of nominees in the MAL Yearbook is so much better than the nominations of a certain Anime Awards show (you know which one). Here I don't find myself asking all the time; why wasn't that anime nominated for this category? Also love the fun category titles more :D
