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.

Nothing like doing the spiderman meme with your partner who's an alien, except you realise the spiderman meme goes both ways.

Some ppl call anime a mistake and trash But for me, for us its something more than "chinnese cartoons" Anime can make my mood, feel better, can motivate, it can make me happy, angry or even cry. Thats normal cartoon but its change lives.

I'm ten billion percent sure, I've strayed, yet further from God : ) Now all I need is a system and a 4th wall to break out of this existence : ) " Man I really wish, I was a cloud, commenting for yearbook every year is such a drag : ( "
Senku_Ishigami10
Great anime productions aired this year, but there was too little time to watch them all. Hopefully next year will be as fruitful as the previous one and will bring more free time to enjoy watching at least some of them with new energy and passion!

In 2023, anime brought joy and inspiration. Tanjiro, Eren, Frieren, and others fueled my dreams. Beyond entertainment, anime embodies art, culture, and passion. Anticipating 2024 for more thrilling stories. Sayonara, friends!
