 2021 Yearly Wrap-Up... ...in Code MAL had a lot of new development over the last year, and I hope you'll look forward to more exciting new changes coming in 2022!
...in Collaborations MAL has been strengthening its ties with the anime/manga industry in Japan and there were a few interesting tie-ups that happened over 2021 with various prizes for participants! Watch for more in 2022.
...in Community Come hell or high water, MAL's recurring community events continue on. If you haven't done so yet, make a New Year's resolution to try at least one in 2022!
...in Contributions & Crew A very big thank you to all our active users who participate in our community, are committed to improving our databases, write reviews and recommendations to help fellow users, and who make up MAL. We are now 12.1 million registered users! Last but never least, a very big thank you to the ever-growing and dedicated staff. I am constantly grateful for the time and energy they give to our site and community to continue to grow it further. Innumerable database additions, edits, requests, reports, sns posts, and problems are processed each and every day of the year (even on Christmas!). MAL wouldn't be MAL without this amazing group of people. If you would like to join this team and give back to MAL, are well-versed in the guidelines and requirements of your position of interest, and have the motivation to work independently, please consider checking out our Open Applications thread.
