 Courtesy 2022 is gearing up to be a massive year for anime. Crunchyroll acquired Funimation’s library to become the anime destination online, and Netflix announced that they would start producing their own originals as well. While popular series like My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man, and Bleach are set to premiere in the fall, new originals such as Ranking of Kings and the return of Demon Slayer are exciting audiences with their bold, fresh animation styles. Below, we’ve rounded up the best anime of 2022 (so far) and will update the list as amazing new entries are released throughout the year.
On a special spy mission to take down the leader of a dangerous political party, Loid Forger must find a wife and adopt a young girl as a cover to get her enrolled in the same private school as his target's son. There, he can get closer to the man by pretending to be another parent. However, Loid didn't expect to put his solo days behind him and fall in love with his temporary family (who also has secrets of their own!). Crunchyroll Hulu The Bleach anime may have ended after a staggering 366 episodes back in 2012, but the story never finished its screen adaptation. Picking up over a decade later, one of the most popular manga of all time seeks to animate the climactic "Thousand-Year Blood War" for the first time. Depicting soul reaper Ichigo Kurosaki once again, Bleach's return is the best way to celebrate the story's 21st anniversary. Crunchyroll Nagabe's gothic fantasy series comes to life in The Girl from the Other Side, a story about a "beast" who cares for a lost little human girl until he can safely return her to where she came from. Originally released as a feature-length special, the gorgeously hand-drawn film has been re-edited into a three-episode arc for streaming. Crunchyroll A lonely little boy named Kotaro moves into a new apartment building by himself, despite being just four years old. Suspend your disbelief and channel Netflix's recent Old Enough reality show as you watch Kotaro make shopping trips and befriend his neighbors. Though young and impressionable, the boy begins to affect those around him in profound and life-changing ways. Netflix A romantic comedy between a socially awkward boy who runs the family Hina doll business and a popular girl who is secretly into cosplay, My Dress-Up Darling is cute, charming, and downright horny. If you're looking for a guilty pleasure about a quirky teen romance, then this is certainly the show for you this year—just don't go around telling everyone. Amazon Crunchyroll Returning after a bit of a break, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure finishes out the second half of Season Five with its long-awaited prison arc. Titled "Stone Ocean," the story sees Jolyne Cujoh—the latest descendant in a line of heroes—framed and incarcerated for a crime that she did not commit. Plus, the dangerous Enrico Pucci is also within the prison's walls. Plotting something, he's stealing the memories of her family members and friends, forcing Jolyne to stay in the prison and solve the mystery. Netflix Break up all the screaming and Shonen violence with Dance Dance Danseur, an inspiring story about a boy who falls in love with ballet. Though he's persuaded to take up more traditionally masculine hobbies such as sports and martial arts, he's enraptured by and drawn to the magic of dance. "Being cool means being true to yourself!" he rapturously declares in the series trailer. Crunchyroll In the oddball comedy series, a third-century military strategist is sent to present-day Shibuya in Japan after wishing on his death bed to be sent to a more peaceful time in history. Thrust into an unknown and scary time, he arrives on Halloween night and becomes enamored by the nightlife, music, and "freestyle rap skills." HIDIVE After the world turns to stone—literally sending it back to the stone—the son of a famous astronaut sets out to restore the Earth to its scientific glory. In Ryusui, a special spinoff released this summer, he comes in contact with a skilled sailor and the revival of money. Will the reintroduction of greed and wealth destroy his chances at scientific progress? Crunchyroll The video game that Edgerunners is based on, Cyberpunk 2077, may have debuted with so many bugs that it was nearly unplayable, but the Netflix animated series has gone off without a hitch. Still, millions of people purchased Cyberpunk 2077 over a love of its sleek aesthetic and futuristic, Blade Runner-like design. Thankfully, Edgerunners was able to give fans everything they felt like they missed out on in the video game. Netflix Following the success of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, a 2020 anime movie that shattered Japan’s box office records even in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the teenage hero Tanjiro returned in early 2022 for the second season of epic fights and mayhem. The series, praised for its beautiful animation, is currently in the “Entertainment District Arc,” which sees Tanjiro and friends tracking down a dangerous demon disguised as a high-ranking courtesan. Even though the English dub was just released last month, a third season for the highly successful anime adaptation has already been green-lit. Amazon AppleTV+ Crunchyroll Hulu Netflix The most highly anticipated anime event of the year, the last episode of Attack on Titan’s final season just aired in Japan, shocking audiences completely. Though marred by controversy due to the show’s imperialist messaging and borderline fascist undertones, the series developed a massive American audience. Evolving over the course of several major twists that turn the original concept on its head, Attack on Titan centers around a post-apocalyptic future in which cities build massive walls to keep out the “titans,” giant, killer humanoids that roam the Earth. For better or worse, the slow buildup of fan theories and plot reveals was the kind of spectacle that Game of Thrones viewers could recall with excitement and shock, proving the power that strong characters have on their devoted fanbases. Hulu Crunchyroll A short, six-episode limited series (rare for anime!), The Orbital Children follows five young heroes as they try to navigate through a space station headed toward disaster. The cute kids and their brightly colored world hit Netflix in January, wowing audiences with its crisp animation style. Created by Mitsuo Iso, a veteran animator of classic anime like FLCL and Ghost in the Shell, The Orbital Children is his first new story in over 15 years. That wait was long but, ultimately, worth it. Netflix Ranking of Kings is the adorable tale of Bojji, a tiny prince readying to take the throne from his father. Completing selfless acts and learning to break out of his shell, Bojji is all heart as he discovers what it means to be not just a good leader, but a good person as well. Complicating the story is his half-brother Daida, who believes that power and conquest could be his way to the throne, putting him in direct opposition to young Bojji. Amazon Crunchyroll A heartwarming romance about two classmates who help each other tear down conceptions of masculinity, Sasaki and Miyano builds on the history of Boys Love comics, which feature gay romances. Though Miyano is afraid of letting people in, Sasaki helps break down his walls, and you can't help but root for these two to grow together. Amazon Funimation Tokyo 24th Ward is a new original anime by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure creative director Tsuda Naokatsu, that follows a Minority Report-like plot about people who predict crimes before they happen. Living in the titular 24th Ward of Tokyo Bay, the three protagonists are classic anime pretty boys that fans will surely fawn over (something that Naokatsu clearly carried over from his experience working on JoJo’s androgynously handsome main characters). That all works here with an exciting new tale. Amazon Crunchyroll The pirate fantasy epic One Piece, one of the most popular anime series of all time, is currently in its 20th (!) season. The show achieved a massive milestone back in November when it premiered its 1,000th episode, coinciding with the announcement of the upcoming Netflix live-action series. A tale of a world covered in oceans where pirate crews sail the seas, One Piece may be slowing its release schedule as it catches up with the source material, but its success is showing no signs of stopping. Thank god for that. Crunchyroll Hulu Netflix |
