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.













































In the vast tapestry of animated emotions, love weaves the most captivating scenes, and in the realm of watchable wonders, anime unfolds tales that make our hearts dance to the melody of pure enchantment

The year had its ups and downs, we got introduced into a lot of amazing worlds and stories, while some of our favourites came to a conclusion and ended up leaving a huge mark into our hearts.❤️

What a fantastic year for new anime, I found multiple new favorites in this batch of seasonals! The only thing that could make 2024 a better anime year is more good Shoujo adaptations :')

Born too late to explore the earth, born too early to explore the universe. But with anime and manga becoming more accessible now and celebrated worldwide, what a time to be alive.

A good anime will come and go by the time, but sometimes you need to look back remember where you started and makes you like today.

Please keep bringing the sequels of high rating anime Japanese industry and keep it up on the animations! Also, could you bring up a cool anime entirely based on dragon mysteries which includes cool dragon designs and moments!! And thank you! Anime makes my stressful day easy.
