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.

Watashiwa anime no dai ski desu.... that's what I loved to learn in Japanese this year and thanks every artist, writer, director, VAs, musicians and others who helped me to enjoy the beautiful anime series and made 2023 full of love.

Anime 2023 in a nutshell: Tons of Sequels, creampuffs, sparkling eyes & Pieyon, the return of good old school romance series, banger op and eds, young gojo, jap. voice actors trying to speak german "wow japanischer Tischler", vending machines and cats that can cook /ᐠ - ˕ -マ Ⳋ

Last year brought me a really great amount of great content that I will never forget. And as a big otaku/big anime fan, I'm curious and excited for this year. Thank you MAL for allowing me to keep recording my anime...

This year, there are so many good anime to watch, hopefully next year will be the same. in this nomination, there are many anime that I don't know, so I don't really enjoy this vote, but never mind, I will still use this site as my benchmark to choose which anime I will watch.

People will keep saying "This is the year for anime" each year at this rate, just look at these candidates. It's very hard to choose from either ;-:
MuadNaji
If you see this, just know that we had a great anime season.
Takayaka
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!! ✨✨
Kawaii_swan
Forgive me for I have not watched any of the shows that I picked. D:

It too sad because that I can only choose one option. It is hard to choose one, so many anime in this options have cute couples, nice op/ed, character to have memes. These all anime are worth to watch some are relaxing and some are comedic and some have intense fighting scene.

It's my first time on MAL Anime Yearbook, i started watching Anime from 2018 but in India anime fans so low till 2022 when first time Anime officially aired in India and made huge impact on streaming platform. Like 2023 I hope 2024 also gonna be the best year.

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
