One thing i appreciate about Bocchi the Rock is how the studio gives everything they can for a - slice of life - anime. They literally made figurines of bocchi; replicated Japan's Shimokitazawa to the bone; Animated the guitar correctly with super fluid performance; Correctly displays the reality of modern day musicians; Made actual BANGER music album just for the band; and many other details. All of them are highly appreciated. The fact they managed to capture the heart of me, who usually hate music themed anime, they definitely won my respect. If you ask which studio loves their creation the most, it's Cloverworks. They executed a piece of fiction absolutely correctly, with full passion, dedication, and love. I've never bought an anime merch, but if i were to buy one it'd be Bocchi the Rock first. And if i were to go to Japan, i would visit Shimokitazawa first.

[@brandonhughes4076]

Hell yeah, a fellow More Than a Married Couple enjoyer. I gave Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War a try without EVER previously watching Bleach. In the end I spent over a month binging all 200 canon episodes of the original show in order to actually understand who the characters are and what the hell was going on. Worth it. TYBW is better (paced) than the original. Only downside: hardly any goofball comedy moments and not enough Rangiku and Rukia.

[@crud8177]

rukia is worst girl. she looks like a man and im not gay

[@TheReaIestOne]

We had to wait 10 long years for this shit. 😎

[@scottvgamer1163]

They actually cut out a lot of the goofy comedic moments in from the TYBW. This was done to ensure the serious tone is more consistent. If you want more of those moments, you can check out the manga version (but I suggest you don’t read ahead of the anime or stop watching it at all because it’s expanding upon the arc in ways it absolutely needs to).

[@ArkNeuron]

Honestly, thank you for giving More Than A Married Couple a decent rating. I had my doubts at first, but after getting sucked into it, it was almost insulting how many people made it out to be another Rent-A-GF, given that there's actually decent pacing, the reasoning behind everyone's actions actually makes sense, and Akari is a super lovable character. Definitely a series worth reading the source material for as well.

[@nutmeg1209]

Bocchi the rock is the greatest form of media of all time. Now I know there are a ton of fanatics saying how relatable this show is, and I hate to contribute to it, but I see too much of myself in this show. As a 17 year old kid who’s been homeschooled his whole life, only seeing new people once a year at summer camp, and having a nauseatingly low sense of self worth or social understanding, this show really hits hard. Especially because I am a musician. I play piano, guitar, 12 string guitar, flute, piccolo, and electric bass. I understand the desire to join a band and have a sense of community like we see portrayed in Bocchi the Rock. This show in my eyes is the perfect anime. It manages to capture complex emotions like social anxiety, stage fright, and loneliness simply through animation. I also really appreciate that the show gives credit to musicians and how hard they work for their craft. I’ve had fingers bleed from playing my guitar too long, slap a bandage on, and keep playing through the pain. This show managed to properly articulate hand movements on the fret board, strum patterns, and really showed the complexities of playing an instrument like the bass or guitar(I can’t speak for drums, I haven’t yet had the privilege to learn). This show is perfect. It made me cry when it never was intended by the creators. It feels real and has definitely reignited my passion and desire to play music. I graduated this coming spring and my hope and prayer is that I can find a small band to play with in college. I just hope I have the courage to do that.

[@ginkowave5829]

Yeah I agree he said it's average even though he put it in C, I see that as passable like a 4 or 5 when it should be a 6 or 7. It's fun and heartwarming, nothing crazy but when Uzaki and Eminence in the shadow is higher then something is off with the list imo.

I started watching it because of the action filled tease, so I was disapointed. When I accepted that it was supposed to be enjoyed as a dad-daughter slice of life I really started to enjoy it. For me it was high B.

[@ryanjelly675]

If you just watch it, you won't notice the variety of things that the anime has to offer, it has wholesome father-daughter relationship, a balance of fun and serious, side characters are good, unique and not neglected, there's no plot convince, has top level world building, foreshadowing, plot twist, good powescaling, backstories, emotions, the MC's not two goody shoes and kills anyone that's "bad", it even has dark concepts like racism, slavery and a lot more

[@tekoimming1943]

The light novel of reincarnated as a sword is one of the best I ever read. It just gets better every new chapter, and it started just fine. Generic in a way? Yes, but special in many others. It doesn't get boring or repetitive and even the character progression is spot on. I would definitely recommend reading this master piece in the making!

[@philcalvino884]

Akiba Maid War is not just shock value and deserves better IMO. EP1 def leans on that contrast, but the rest of the EPs build up the characters. Then it starts a bait 'n' switch: you come for the absurd maid/violence mix, then stay for the characters and plot. And then, sh!t, even end up getting misty-eyed over a few climactic scenes.

[@jatos552]

I love Kagejitsu. I was waiting for the list thinking it was gonna get a c tier, but I'm really surprised it got an A tier. I know everyone says this, but I do think the manga is better. It focuses more on the comedic side of the story and Cid is clearly a lot more insane in it. I'm sure you probably won't see this comment, but if you do, know that the manga is definitely worth a read.

[@Dzikii]

I think manga is better than we novel aswell

[@isacjsy]

Manga better indeed

[@Chris-qj5cs]

I havent read the manga or LN, however I would have to disagree with what you're saying. The reason the anime is so great is the seriousness mixed in to the comedic and ridiculous aspects of the show. I very much like the more serious tone in the show rather than just pure comedic ridiculousness. For instance I've seen that in the manga Cid is super buff like the hulk which I think is pretty stupid considering hes trying to be a background character as if someone thats literally the size as the hulk in highschool wouldnt draw a lot of attention. The show in my opinion expertly straddles the line between serious and comedy that creates something extremely entertaining and unique. In something thats just pure comedy its difficult to take the story or lore very seriously, whereas with this show the seriousness makes the story interesting enough that you want to know what happens and arent just there for the jokes.

[@jatos552]

@@Chris-qj5cs I do like that aspect too. The anime takes itself more seriously than the manga. A perfect example is when Cid said he had to take a deuce. In the anime its kind of brushed over, but they draw out its comedic effect in the manga, which is probably the only reason I remember it. Neither is objectively better or worse, the manga is just more focused on the comedic side, but I like the anime more during the small moments like when Cid and Aurora were talking to each other. In the manga it was boring, but in the anime it really felt like they were bonding rather than Aurora just bursting a pipe in her princess parts when she hears the name Cid.

[@FrancoisMathieu]

It was dumb, episodic fun that I looked forward to. And then it surprised me with an actual plot twist, a cliffhanger death, and finally a satisfying ending. I agree, its an A tier show.

I think you definitely missed out on some other wonderful this…last season. Management of a Novice Alchemist was a comfy slice of life with solid art, and REALLY good fight animation on the rare occasion. Do It Yourself was another slice of life with great animation all around and an extremely likable cast. Gundam the Witch from Mercury is the newest tv series in the franchise with one of the fastest group followings I’ve seen- seriously, this rivaled Bocchi and Chainsaw Man in online mainstream popularity. And it’s designed for newcomers, so you can just jump right in without any issue. Finally, this one is a personal favorite, but Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit (the fourth season of this show) is a simple CGDCT mountain climbing show with surprisingly strong messages & themes, great characters, brilliant animation, and somehow even more brilliant art. Like I said, it’s season four, but the first 3 seasons are relatively short- you could probably knock them out in two days at least. But the payoff in that final episode is absolutely worth it. And Mob Psycho 3 deserves God tier. How dare you.

I agree with most of your list except The eminence in Shadow and Chainsaw man. Okay I am an Isekai trash enjoyer. However, I feel like The Eminence in Shadow is more than a decent anime this season. Out of every anime this season, I found this anime the most enjoyable and I look forward to it each week. I agree this anime do need some conditioning before enjoying it to a full degree. It took me like three to four episodes to realize it's potential. Its surprising that the animation were good. Story is very intriguing, especially when our edgelord starts speaking engrish. It also have a pretty good world building. Things are decently well explained. Its not as good as the big isekais, but I think its definitely the best isekai this year. Definitely S tier for Shadow-sama. Csm is overrated. Feel like the animation is very wonky with very unnatural movement. However, it did improve starting from the last few episode. Really good music. Good story overall. Should only be at S tier.

Also, Reincarnated as a sword should be a solid B tier. Its like the story just started. Also, good animation and I do like the power system in that anime.

God tier - Bocchi the Rock S tier - Chainsaw Man, Romantic Killer, Akiba Maid War, Do It Yourself!, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury A tier - Eminence in Shadow (ongoing), Spy x Family Part 2, The Little Lies We All Tell B tier - Raven of the Inner Palace (haven't finished yet), Iruma-kun s3 (ongoing) C tier - Arknights, Beast Tamer, I'm the Villainess (haven't finished yet) D tier - Reincarnated as a Sword, More than a Married Couple but not lovers (Akari is great, it looks good, but the writing is shiiiiit, and the male lead sucks so much), Bibliophile Princess (dropped) I'll watch Mob Psycho III when I'm in the mood, but I saw season 2 for the first time only a couple of months ago. I have never seen a single episode of Bleach, and while I thought it'd probably be a funny bit to watch the new series anyway, ultimately I decided against it. only saw 3 episodes of Urusei Yatsura, it was fine but I can't rank it. haven't see the first season of To Your Eternity yet. I'm not degenerate enough to wade through the first half of Renai Flops to get to the good part.

Pretty based list except you should watch blue lock its super good and csm is Low A for me

[@mazles3469]

I am thankful for the biscuit hammer anime it reminded me to read the manga since I forgot about it when I lost my list a couple months back. The author is really good when it comes to character development, I'd recommend Sengoku Youko from the same author.

[@landenward5083]

Eminence in shadow deserves its own tier called “Atomic”

Chainsaw man has the most highest rated ANIME of 2022 In comparing to all other anime in Netflix.

Maid was amazing, it’s pretty much a play on Maido, a Japanese term for Yakuza, and well… Maids

3:00 "At first this feels like the plot was written by an AI" how ironic of you to mention that 😂

[@jangomango1967]

For my tierlist I'd lower "I'm the Villainess, etc" to C tier. Dropped it after a few episodes - not even Rie Takahashi's voice could save it for me! I'm not invested/actively rooting for the main couple, the plot is kinda meh and I didn't laugh much at the jokes. Other Otome-game anime have more appeal like the ones you mentioned so it feels a bit underwhelming? Thankfully this season, I'm laughing my ass off at "Endo and Kobayashi Live!" - god I love Kana Hanazawa's voice acting. I can see why you could rank it as B-tier though - it's a decent show but I'm just sad it didn't hit me the same way :/

[@Catralasarguido]

Yeah, I am a fan of the "villainess" genre too, but I didn't like this one

This was the best MHA season by far. S tier for sure. It's a must watch.

[@Catralasarguido]

is that so? I've dropped it after the third season, but thanks to you I`ll continue

[@sondo303]

@Catralasarguido there are definitely some ups and downs getting there, and I stopped during season 4. But yes, this last season is no BS pure battle with actual consequences.

Mappa animating an isekai this season is a sign that they're interested in the genre, so let's just hope that they take Re: Zero too, just like how they take pretty much anything

[@jamesbryanescoto2039]

I think White Fox Animation Studios should continue to work for Re:Zero S3 because the artstyle is indispensable.

[@Explorerman1293]

Flawless execution yet again. Love your writing. You're literally the only KZbinr that can make me cackle out loud lol thanks my guy

[@otakubullfrog1665]

One of the things I liked about watching More Than a Married Couple is that they didn't bother to explain why acting out a marriage is part of the school curriculum. I've read manga with similar setups that try to include justifications for them (usually some government initiative to raise the birthrate or something) and they tend to sound pretty silly.

[@Sheamu5]

Japan does have a shrinking population, boomers are dying faster than babies are getting made. And they don't let many people immigrate.

[@CulturedCrusader]

The only thing keeping Mob Psycho from S tier is that season 2 was better

[@dekiruda]

[@madsandersen2743]

Man I am glad I got recommended "More than a married couple, but not lovers" here. It might have been one of the animes that has gotten me the most hooked. I even had to go and read the rest of the manga in 2 sittings right after, and normally I only watch anime

Mon Psycho 3 - A tier Bit overstretched, but ending was good. Bocchi The Rock - God tier probably the best of 2022 Chainsaw man - B tier Enjoyable, but generic youkai action series. Peter Grill - C tier It has some ridiculous moments. The main gist is he tries to resist, but fails in the end for one reason or other. It makes MC instantly more believable harem protagonist than in most other series. Akiba Maid - S tier It's no holds bar insanity with surprising ending. Tensei shitara ken deshita - A tier Solid adaptation, very enjoyable dynamics between main characters, great soundtrack and action. Kage no jitsuryokusha ni naritakute - A tier Source light novel is God tier, the adaptation has rough start and the jokes are downplayed/censored, but it gets better around episode 6. Still the source material is better. Cyberpunk Edgerunners - A tier Audio-visually God tier, but the story is predictable cliché. I've bought the game it's better than the anime.
