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.

Finally I end my journey of 5 years and become a doctor (dentist).. A occupation dealing with saving lives.. in my case it's teeth.. in this whole journey I was depressed a lot of times but thanks to anime i went through those times..

Life is a wave in a very big ocean where you go with flow and sometimes it stops at the most random places, but those moments are what makes life great

I would just like to congratulate all the anime teams/studios for their efforts, time, and love for the work. I would like to thank all the MAL members for their daily efforts and amazing events. The sweat, time invested, was worth it.

2024 I didn't really watch a lot of anime this year so it's a bit hard to vote, I focused on other stuff though the year, but I hope I'll have enough free time to watch this year especially with the huge series coming out. Try and enjoy watching Anime when you have free time.

A true ninja isn't measured by the battles they win, but by the strength to rise when their world crumbles. Even when no one believes in you, stand tall—because that's when you'll prove you never needed saving.

From suggesting ‘Best Glow-Up’ to living it—proof that even side quests can lead to main character energy. This arc is only the beginning!

2024 was a treasure trove of hidden gems, waiting to be discovered. Despite fewer members on MAL, they still managed to surprise at every turn. If the premise catches your interest, don’t hesitate, just start the anime and experience something special.
