I'd love to see a Most WTF Moment in an anime, where a twist or turn of events made you go... Wait, WTF???. I can't think of any examples right now, but to be fair I didn't watch a ton of seasonal shows this year.

I can't enter my username or ID. When I click on it, there's no blinking caret and I can't enter anything. Trying to tab into the field skips right over both the name and ID entry fields and straight to the "Back" button.
Just tried it on Chrome, and there it just fills in the spaces on its own. I'm using Brave, so I suppose that's what breaks it, but why are those spaces there in the first place if MAL already pulls the information automatically?

@LittleStar Hi, LittleStar! I know you really like the MAL Yearbook, but we've decided not to continue with it. The Wrap-Up will take its place, even though the event and feature are not quite the same. I'm really happy that you looked forward to it every year, though! Hope you enjoyed the Wrap-Up ^^
