2022 is an interesting year for anime. What it lacks in an obvious high profile mega-hit, it makes up for with a lot of surprise hits. I laughed a lot with anime this year, and that’s worth something. Join me as I reminisce about the anime I watched this year, both the good and the bad. I’m not going to lie people, I threw this together at the last minute. I hope it’s coherent?
When I whittled down this year’s list of watched shows down to smaller and smaller numbers, it turned out that almost everything on there was some kind of adaptation or reboot. What’s up with that? Were they any good?
Diving into my (mostly silly) favorite anime moments of 2022.
In our final episode of 2022, we make our final predictions for currently airing shows and even fit in a few previews for next season.

We have a serious, nuanced, and mature discussion about the serious, nuanced, and mature anime of the Spring 2022 season.
The rival nations of Westalis and Ostania are locked in a cold war, where battles are won not through force of arms, but through espionage. Agent “Twilight” is Westalis’ top spy, and his newest assignment is to get close to an extremist political leader, an infamous recluse. The only path available is to meet him is via a school function, parent to parent. But Twilight is single and childless! To complete his mission, he’s got to put together a cover: a family that allows him to spy.
We give our first impressions of the Spring 2022 season, which seems to be full of light hearted comedies and slice of life series. No complaints here!
