CSM final episode was kinda meh. Otherwise it's a good show with some stellar animation, interesting concepts and cool world-building. Not really GOAT material but definitely way above average.

Final episode felt like tying it all up, so understandably felt a little lackluster after the acceleration since episode 7 or 8
Good scene with Aki and the Ghost devil, was the highlight for me.
Final scene sets up season 2 quite well. The show mixes genuine emotion quite well with degeneracy, which is quite refreshing.

I've been eyeballing something that's coming out in april 2023: Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, it's another one where the world building seems to be quite epic.

Far and away my anime of the year. The Kessoku Band CD released today and from what I've seen the physical editions are sold out in a lot of places. Amazon Japan has it sold out, PlayAsia has it sold out. Bodes well for more anime content once the manga gets some more time for chapters.

The premise sounds interesting but while watching the trailer I noticed some things that made me cringe because they point towards some typical anime and character tropes I don't like. Wouldn't be the first time for this to completely ruin a show. : /

Since people are starting to talk about AotY, people used to fill a form here. Feel free to use this one I dug up (you can add or remove categories as you wish).

Having an opinion different from the hive-mind doesn't make you a hater. CSM is a 6-6.5/10 for me.

Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen - Was a tossup between this and Spy x Family. Everyone seems to overhype everything nowadays, but still pretty hilarious seeing bleach at the top of MAL rankings.

Lots of amazing scenes in Golden Kamuy, but I'll pick this one:

Ishigami Yuu
Sugimoto Saichi


Best Seiyuu for 2022
Katsuyuki Konishi - for Koito少尉 and Hishigata Shidehiko. Extremely talented guy.

In the interest of not just making this list the Bocchi power hour I'm gonna try and only name a show once.

Best Animes for 2022
My top 10 (6-10 in spoilers so this doesn't go on forever with everything else I'll be writting lol)
Bocchi the Rock!
Kaguya Sama Love is War Season 3
Lycoris Recoil
Aharen-san wa Hakarenai
Ya Boy Kongming
+ Show Spoiler +
Call of the Night
Akiba Maid War
The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting
Love Live! Superstar!! Season 2
Do it Yourself!!


Best Thing that Nobody Watched of 2022
Life with an Ordinary Guy who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout. Just barely didn't make it into my top 10 from how amazing DIY's final push was. Truly hilarious and a good example of what Isekai can be, now that people are tired of pushing out the exact same SAO clone/derivative. One of the funniest shows this year. Also shout outs to
Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness and My Master Has No Tail, neither of which are as good as the 11 shows I've mentioned thus far, but were both really enjoyable 7/10ish experiences.

Most Surprising of 2022
To pick something outside of my top 10 again I would say Birdie Wing: Golf Girls Story or the second cour of Cue!. The first cour was fairly mediocre at best, which made the back half of the show actually tugging at my heartstrings and making me care for these characters was one of the biggest surprises. I think with a better direction (like introducing 8 characters a cour instead of all 16 at once) it could have actually been a great experience all around, instead of such a lopsided one.


Stockholm Syndrome Award for 2022
The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest was at best a 4/10. But in the best way. I was looking forward to every episode every week just to see how insanely stupid it would get. Wholeheartedly recommend it on how comically awful that it is.


Worst anime that I wasted time on of 2022
I Somehow Became Stronger by Raising Farming-Related Skills was far and away the worst anime I watched all year, only because no matter how bad I thought Strongest Sage was, it was always entertaining. This...this was just awful.


Best Anime Season of 2022
Summer 2022 by virtue of the most shows from my top 10 airing there (although if I really tried to compare my enjoyment every season it would probably have to be Fall 2022)


Worst Anime Season of 2022
Winter 2022 by the opposite virtue.


Most Disappointing of 2022
Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie. I wanted to like it, I really did. But it wasn't until episode like 9 or 10 that I started to.


Guilty Pleasure
Probably Digimon Ghost Game, because its always in my bottom 3/4 for the season and yet I keep watching it because plot will happen eventually dammit.


'Elem Award' for Most Overrated Anime of 2022
I agree with the above, its gotta be Bleach. I can't in good faith say its CSM or Spy Family while Bleach is currently ranked number 1 on MAL.


Top 3 OP of 2022
No particular order
+ Show Spoiler +




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XicdpSmxuT0





Top 3 ED of 2022
+ Show Spoiler +








Best Scene of 2022
The Bocchi the Rock Episode 5 "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet" try-out performance and later the Episode 8 version that was purposefully (narratively speaking) out of sync and led into the premier of "That Band". Or the finale performance with Kita's improvised solo which managed to make me tear up 3 times in a single day when I watched the premier, the clip later, and then read the manga that afternoon.

To talk not Bocchi, one of my favorite moments in the Kaguya series also occurred this season, being Ishigami's reaction to failing his grades goal. Specifically the scene Kaguya follows him into the bathroom and listens in on him being honest with himself.

+ Show Spoiler +










Best Female Characters of 2022
The entirety of Kessoku Band and Fran.


Best Male Characters of 2022
Ishigami Yuu



Best Seiyuu for 2022
My immediate thought is to give it to Fran's VA, because I love everything that comes out of her mouth

The season ended, so now the only thing going for me is the Eminence in Shadow.

Still need to get through Mob S3, having a bit of a hard time with it as I think the jokes in it are now overused and I don't really find the show funny any more. The plot isn't super interesting either.

dropped Bocchi the Rock! after 3.5 chapters, i guess i wasnt for me.

CSM was pretty good, a solid 7/10 imo, the last chapter was a bit underwhelming but the set up for the next season looks great.

rewatching Mob from S1, im pretty hyped for S3 tbh

Bleach was great, sick comeback!

Jojo: stone ocean was very fun
i would define my style between a mix of ByuN, Maru and MKP

I wonder what good will happen this season. NieR and Ningen Fushin seem nice.

Any recommendations? I don't really track all the new stuff that's coming out.

I can give some recs in a few weeks. I wasn't expecting this season, so I only watched a few new series. Once I understand the plots of what's happening and see how the characters, develop, I can give my thoughts on some.

After posting the AotY list, I checked my list now. I watched four 2022 shows. Four times as many as in 2021 but I don't think it warrants filling the form or it would be a very boring list...

Also planning to check out NieR as well as Hikari no Ou and Zhongguo Qi Tan. Also Vinnland Saga s2, although I will probably wait until it finishes because iirc s1 had some obnoxious cliffhangers. The season seems quite packed as far as I'm concerned. I don't remember the last season I was actually interested in checking out 3+ new shows. Must have been years ago.

I'm mean it's called Food Porn for a reason. From all I have seen it's the "Oishii" plague on steroids and the only way to accomplish that is ecchi.

Nier: Automata - As a game adaptation, I'm rather wary of this. Most game adaptations tend to be rather shit.

Ningen Fushin no Boukensha-tachi ga Sekai wo Sukuu you desu - The novel starts off as fairly interesting, but the plot moves slow as a snail, and I kind of forgot about this as I was reading the WN. It's not bad, but not particularly good either. It has an interesting pessimistic MC, but story is rather meh.

The ones worth checking out this season for me are: Vinland Saga S2, Danmachi IV, Tomo-chan wa Onna no Ko, Tonari no Tenshi, and Tensei Oujo to Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei.

Just watched the first episode of Hikari no Ou and found it to be very compelling. The attention to both random and interconnected detail is lovely. I'm praying that this show won't fall into the same trap so many other shows fell into and gets ruined by either terrible character writing or anime tropes (or both).

I also binged the second half of xxxHolic on the train today. It was decent. The stories were all pretty great but the main character was quite annoying and they reused the same jokes over and over and over again - and they weren't even funny the first time around. It made the show a bit of a suffer fest for me which is sad because it could have been a really good show imho.
