My Top 12 Anime of 2022

2022 is almost over so I have decided to make a TOP 12 Anime of 2022 list. This is 12 of what I think is some of the must watch anime of 2022. This list covers the whole 2022 anime. So if it first aired in 2022 its probably on the list. Why 12 you ask? Well 10 is a bit small since there are really a lot of good anime that came out this year. I would like to add that all of these are new anime so sequels don’t count, only the first seasons. So don’t expect to see anime like Overlord Season 4 on this list.

Also these are anime that I have watched and familiar with so certain so there is definitely not a definitive list. If you like an anime that isn’t on here then by all means go ahead and watch it. Also everyone has their own opinion on what is best for them so take this as just a suggestion. Anyways let us get on with the Top 12 list.

 Andor is the the fourth live-action series in the Star Wars franchise, as well as a prequel to the spin-off film Rogue One (2016). The show was created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. It follows thief-turned-Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five years that lead to the events of the film. Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor and also serves as an executive producer. Joining him are Kyle SollerAdria ArjonaJoplin SibtainJames McArdleRupert VansittartStellan SkarsgårdFiona Shaw.

The most notable problem with this series starting up is that if you been following Starwars you know the character Andor survives until said movie Rogue One so a lot of the folks are really skeptical if such a tv series would work. Personally I love Rogue One but I didn’t exactly saw the movie cause of the character Andor. So short to say the series had a lot of expectations to fill.
