  • DCS 

A new year means a fresh batch of popular new anime. The best and most talked-about Japanese animated films of this year included the eagerly awaited comebacks of numerous fan favorites as well as the eagerly awaited debuts of brand-new series adapted from cult classic manga. Whatever your preferences, there was undoubtedly an anime in 2022 for you.

As 2022 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on some of our favorite anime series that were released during the year. This year was jam-packed with anime to satisfy everyone’s interests, whether they were brief and sweet or still in production, hugely well-liked or undiscovered gems. We now have our own recommendations for the anime that most impressed us.

Here is Distractify’s selection of the top anime from 2022, along with information on where you can view them.

‘Bleach: Thousand Year-Blood War’

Bleach has returned unlike any other ten years after the original anime series ended in order to complete the manga adaptation. The conflict between Ichigo Kurosaki and the Soul Reapers is still ongoing in the show as any army of extraordinarily strong Quincies wage war on them.

The action sequences in Thousand Year-Blood War rival those in the original anime, and the movie celebrates Bleach’s comeback in grand style with familiar faces and stellar performances.

Visit Hulu to watch the series.

‘BLUELOCK’

This is unlike any other sports animation you’ve ever seen. Yoichi Isagi, a young soccer player, enrolls in a punishing and solitary training regimen where he and hundreds of other hopefuls are pushed to become into the most arrogant players ever.

Soccer in this sports-meets-Squid Game-style anime takes on a whole new appearance as it gets more competitive than you could have ever imagined.

Chainsaw Man is just about the height of it when it comes to another clear inclusion. The program centers on Denji, a destitute young man who makes a deal with a chainsaw devil and uses its abilities for his own benefit. He is employed by a public safety agency to protect people from demons.

Chainsaw Man is every bit the masterpiece that followers of the manga were anticipating, boasting a menacingly austere style, flawless action scenes, and even piercing satirical drama.

The famous rom-com series’ third season follows the misadventures of Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane as they jump through hoops to persuade the other to first profess their affections. As Miyuki gets ready to graduate from high school, the romantic tension is amplified in this most recent episode, causing both of these hopeless romantics to go all out in their battle of the sweethearts.

On Crunchyroll, the complete third season of Kaguya-sama is available for watching.

‘Love After World Domination’

‘Mob Psycho 100 III’

With its third and final season, Mob Psycho 100 keeps putting out top-notch work in a beautifully consistent manner. In Mob Psycho 100 III, all of the action and drama that fans have come to expect is still present as the title character Shigeo “Mob” Kageyama struggles to manage his adolescence while controlling his unpredictable psychic abilities.

‘Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury’

The first female lead in the long-running mecha anime series’ broadcast history appears in the most recent episode. In order to enroll in a prominent technical school, Suletta Mercury leaves her native planet of Mercury. Here, she and her companions create extremely contentious Gundam vehicles in an effort to close the socioeconomic gap between Earthlings and spacefaring humans.

The Crunchyroll-streamed series is already a novel and engaging spin on the Gundam paradigm.

‘Spy x Family’

Spy x Family merits a spot on our list in spades, which should come as no surprise to anyone. The show centers on Twilight, a skilled spy who hires a fictitious family to help him with his most perilous mission yet without realizing that they are hiding secrets of their own.

This humorous thriller combines the best elements of spy action and family-sitcom wholesomeness to produce a gripping story about finding loved ones in unexpected locations.

‘Urusei Yatsura’ (2022)

 

Rumiko Takahashi, the author of InuYasha, is the original author of the classic rom-com Urusei Yatsura. It centers on Ataru Moroboshi, a miserable womanizer who unknowingly becomes engaged to Lum, a needy alien princess.

This story’s new iteration still has a lot of the original charm and humor that made the Japanese television program so well-known, even if it is a modern adaptation. Hidive offers streaming of the show.

‘Ya Boy Kongming!’

Zhuge Liang Kongming, an old Chinese military strategist, is resurrected in contemporary Japan in this crazy musical comedy. He meets Eiko Tsukimi, an aspiring artist, here, and the two of them begin to collaborate as they enter the music business.

Kongming is a light and enjoyable series with many funny moments and ridiculously catchy tunes that should not be missed.
