7 – Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru
An anime where many met the best (and perhaps first) waifu of the year. It's an anime that I watched by reading the manga, and I really liked the way they animated everything.
Some scenes were done much better in the anime than in the manga. and it was something that I really liked. I liked the opening and ending from the first time I heard them, and every week I waited for the new chapter of the anime. Without a doubt, it deserves to be in this top of the best anime of the year 2022.

6 – Bocchi the Rock!
This is an anime that just ended a few days ago, however for some it was undoubtedly the best anime of 2022. This full of comedy, with jokes that will make anyone laugh, and simply the daily life of our protagonists.
The way in which they present some "problems" in an exaggerated way means that they can be approached in a mocking way in a good way. It made me laugh a lot and it definitely has some very good songs too.
Synopsis:

5 – Sabikui Bisco
A super hidden gem this year 2022, but within the top of the best animes. I haven't heard anyone talk about this anime that should have more recognition.
Has a Quite interesting plot that I had not heard anywhere else. The fights are very well animated and really makes you wonder what the outcome will be. I really liked the character designs, audio, and how they handled the ending song when something happened in the anime (I won't say anything else because otherwise it's a spoiler).

4 – Chainsaw Man
This incredible manga could not be missing in this top anime of 2022. Without a doubt, it is an anime that quickly became famous with the broadcast of its first chapter. No matter the social network, there will always be some chainsaw man.
This is an anime that I am very excited to watch, and I remain excited for what is to come in its next seasons (please Mappa). The animation, audio, voice actors, characters, everything is incredible and I love it. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet, but I highly doubt anyone hasn't seen it yet.

3 – Tomodachi Game
Another hidden gem of the year 2022. In this anime everything is based on the psychology, mystery and betrayal. They bring together a group of friends with a lot of trust, and they simply destroy that trust they had in each other.
Many people compare it to the Korean series "Squid Game" and it is a bit similar. The games that the anime presents are very interesting and when you think you know how it will end, the opposite happens. I really like the theme of this anime and I'm looking forward to the second season.

2- Mob Psycho 100 (Season 3)
The final season of a very good anime. I can't say much without giving away spoilers, but it's a great ending to the incredible Mob.
The animation is impressive as always, the plot fills you with mixed feelings and I was actually very happy with the ending. I must say that many things happened that I did not expect at all, but that's what I loved about this season, without a doubt one of the best seasons of Mob Psycho in my opinion.
Synopsis:
“After foiling a plot that threatens the world, Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama returns to tackle the most grueling aspects of his mundane life, beginning with filling out his school's harrowing career form.

The best romantic comedy that can exist arrived with its third season in 2022, and what a way to do it. It is undoubtedly part of this top of the best anime releases of the year 2022.
Finally the anime began to have a very interesting plot, and all that innocence there became something serious. Many readers of this anime's manga know how important this third season was, and it only gets better from here on out.
It is undoubtedly the best season of this anime, with very good factors that never disappoint. I highly recommend it to everyone, not just fans of romantic comedies.
