21The Eminence in Shadow

Cid, the protagonist, yearns to be the mastermind, the archetype behind the hero’s success and the villain’s failure, the mysterious being who drives any story.

20Bocchi the Rock!
–
–
Bocchi the Rock! is a slice-of-life comedy anime series about a high school girl called Hitori Gotou who dreams of being in a band. Only problem is, that she’s shy as hell and doesn’t have a single friend.
When Nijika, a drummer looking for a guitarist comes along, things start to perk up. The fact that CloverWorks is producing this makes me hopeful.

If you’re looking for some laid-back shonen, Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit is something you should look forward to.
It’s about Aoi Yukimura and her childhood friend Hinata Kuraue, two girls with completely different personalities, who decide to embark on a mountaineering adventure to see a sunrise they once saw when they were younger.

14Golden Kamuy – Season 4
–
–
Golden Kamuy is one of Shueisha’s most well-known seinen series. It is written and illustrated by Satoru Noda. The anime adaptation has also been acclaimed, and now with it returning with season 4, it doesn’t look like Sugimori and Aspira are going anywhere.
Since the series is based on real-life history, fans are hoping that season 4 keeps all the important bits of the manga and maintains canonical and factual accuracy.
13Kantai Collection – Season 2
–
–
Girls who can possess World War 2 naval ships? Count me in.
KanColle – short for Kantai Collection, is based on the game of the same name created by Kadokawa. The first season came out in 2015, which was well-received as the series focused on a storyline that wasn’t really present in the game.
The second season is sure to be better than the first. It will focus on Fubuki, the destroyer.
12Raven of the Inner Palace

–
If you’ve read the light novel series by Koko Shirakawa, you know the anime adaptation of Raven of the Inner Palace is going to be nothing less that fantastic.

Where are all the psychological dark fantasy fans at? Uzumaki is going to be spectacular, especially after all the wait the pandemic has put us through. Uzumaki has been pushed thrice, but it’s finally releasing soon.
The series is about a fictional city plagued by a curse. It involves Kirie and Shuichi two high-schoolers, who witness how the spiral curse causes psychological and physical damage to the citizens of Kurouzu-cho.

A young slave called Fran discovers our protagonist – the sword – and uses him to free herself from slavery.
If you enjoyed That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, keep an eye out for this one.
7Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury
–
–
A lot of people really loved Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans that came out in 2015. The new MSG anime series won’t be related to the first, but you can be sure that you’ll love it because it retains that amazing mecha action.
The protagonist is a female this time, called Suletta Mercury, who wants to become a mobile suit pilot.
From the prologue, I sense a mecha-human relationship theme as well, kind of like Evangelion, which really makes me look forward to this one.
6Blue Lock

5Spy Family – Season 1, Part 2
–

Spy x Family quickly became one of the most famous anime series of 2022. This spy action-comedy is about a fake family with very real connections. Loid, the husband, is a spy, Yor, the wife, is an assassin, and Anya, the daughter, is a mind-reader.
Tatsuya Endo’s manga is still ongoing. While season 1 focused on Loid trying to complete his mission, season 2 will be more about the thickening bond between the 3 and will also feature Bond, the Forgers’ new dog!
4Chainsaw Man
–
–
You already know this one. I mean, the news that Chainsaw Man is premiering this fall has spread like wildfire.
The anime will closely adapt Fujimoto’s action-horror manga, which is about teens and devils, psychological trauma and the yakuza.
3My Hero Academia – Season 6
–
–
Everyone’s favorite academy is back this fall. MHA promises a darker and fiercer new season as the Paranormal Liberation War arc from the manga is going to be adapted.
We can expect Izuku Midoriya to track down the League of Villains and harness the full power of the One for All to counter the traitor at U.A.
2Mob Psycho – Season 3
–
–
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been pining for Mob Psycho’s third installment ever since season 2 ended. The show is brilliant, the perfect mix of emotion, drama, comedy, and the supernatural.
This season, our protagonist Kageyama will get introspective about his life, questioning his choices and decisions, his past and future.
I’m excited to see Kageyama further develop his esper skills as well as his character, but most of all, I’m waiting for Mob to go full psycho-100.
1Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
–
–
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is the most anticipated anime series of 2022. This is the first time Bleach, one of anime’s Big Three, will return to screens after 2012. It will adapt the Thousand Year Blood War arc from the manga, and will premiere worldwide on October 11.

The release is the perfect way to celebrate Bleach’s 21st anniversary.
