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.

Need to watch more

It takes a special year to dethrone FMAB. Shoutout Frieren and OP fan letter. Fell to my knees more than one in 2024 🫡

One more year has passed. Tons of new animes to watch. But I can't find time. Go watch some great animes for yourselves. For sure I'm going to try.

Anime is such a amazing thing that can boil your blood due to anticipation, gain knowledge about story's upon story's without even reading a story book, learn to Imaginate out of the box, kill time and escape from boredom which this world has to offer. Truly Anime is Magnificent!

2024 was the year of some high expectations that fell short and sleepers that rose in the ranks. And yet we watched and will continue because its who we are and what MAL is all about. Wishing everyone the best in 2025!

What a rollercoaster

Started with ‘just one episode,’ now I’m here. From jaw-dropping plots to endings that broke me, anime taught me life is best enjoyed with good stories and questionable sleep schedules. See you all in the next season!

Anime has been my escape, my teacher, and my source of endless joy. The heart-pounding matches in Blue Lock to the surreal adventures in Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku each series has taken me on a unique ride.The heartwarming romance in Yubisaki to Renren made my heart flutter.

Another despair yet hopeful year to be. Best wishes to next year and another to watches anime and read manga ")b

Nikaaaaaaaaaaa
good year
Netquk
Even when you think you've watched a lot of simulcast anime in a year, MAL and the anime community will pull the rug from under you. Also, The Elusive Samurai and Dandadan were the best new anime of the year.
Cayusashi
Frieren best anime to touch this earth.
juan_exandro
this year (2024) was really great for anime lover like me so many great anime got released well i watched rom-com the most like alya sometimes hides her feeling in Russian, giji harem, 2.5D seductions, etc hope next year will be even great than this year

This year was crazy, so many good shows, so many good songs that came with them, it's honestly amazing being an anime fan!

My Days with My Stepsister' stands out with raw realism, evoking childhood's visceral pleasures (like loose-tooth gum-biting). The awkward character dynamics feel real, while diary-style narration adds intimacy. Even its monotonous moments captivate through pure authenticity.

Unfair the opening of Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria VS the 2nd opening of Oshi no Ko. 😭 I honestly LOVE both! Each one has its unique vibe. Unfortunately, I had to choose Oshi no Ko. 💔 But honestly, it was such a hard decision. Both deserve to be on the top.

2024 gave us some of the most memorable anime and music in years, can't wait to see what next year has to offer 😊

I am very glad this group really knows how to be flexible with their approach in nominating many shows that may not have been as popular than possible. Loving the diversity very much on this art.
