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.
"I started off as a beginner anime fan in 2018, but now I have matured in my anime journey and have to come to love all sorts of anime from romance to shonen, something I learnt is that you will never truly know you like something unless you try it yourself"

Pretty good year!

Every time I say, ‘Okay, this year I’m going to watch fewer anime,’ but in reality, my backlog just keeps growing. 2024, you’re so cruel to my sleep schedule :)

I skip too much even though it's too much because I want to match anime recommendations specifically for beginners in an effort to not be confused at the age of 13 and above.

A lot of sequel came out this year. I hope this trend continues! Thanks 2024!

Well, 2024 was the year of milestones! Completed my 1000th and 1100th anime, watched over 25,000 episodes, and felt like I truly leveled up in my anime journey. Now, with studies behind me and work ahead, I’ll slow down a bit but will always keep this passion alive!

I entered 2024 as a penniless otaku, and left 2024 still as a penniless otaku. But hot damn what a time to be alive to see these great animes airing one after another.

It was my first year watching seasonals and I loved every moment of it 🥹
Honeyplays12
This one's trash tastes knows no bounds, as this one shall sample watch every single Isekais in this whole world until this one finds the almighty golden one! This one shall also indulge in some romance comedy, in secret of course, since that would tarnish this one's reputation!
Filiponio
It was a good season with its good and bad. I hope to see better ones.

Some anime may have left a mark, while others have been forgotten. But all will echo in our hearts.

This was one exhausting year, glad anime is there to keep me going.

amazing year
AnimeWills
The variety and quality of the shows this year are astonishing. If you asked me 20 years ago whether this many anime of this variety would be available in multiple languages, I'd have scoffed at you. But I want to say is that my real answer to all of the queries is 'Frieren!' !!

Please don't post this, my mom will be so mad if she sees me watching anime again... Not to talk about anything of my dad :Sob:

As a seasonal anime fan from 2020, i liked this year too. It was nothing sort of too hype but it was a good year though. We got 4 to 5 good shows in each seasons. Pretty fast, this year passed away. I didn't get time to watch many shows but the ones i watched were pretty good.

Just tryna survive this year by escaping reality via anime stuff as a coping mechanism.

Was another year dominated by isekai, a genre I'm tired of. However, some series stood out by offering solid character development and unique world-building. Despite the genre's saturation, there were still innovative and fresh takes, making the year a mixed but good experience.

It was like a dark sky, with 6 stars.
