A life time achievement award for the Pokemon anime

Whatever you do, DO NOT make a drinking game out of how often Robin says "cute" in this video. You'll die of alcohol poisoning.

11:10 I don't know if that was a coincidence or not- but the super sentai series PR Turbo was based on- Carranger was actually the inspiration for the show- YES, the premise of Love After World Domination actually came from a super sentai show On another note it's kinda difficult to judge Fuuto PI on it's own since it's actually a sequel to the live action show "Kamen Rider W"

Raven of the Inner Palace was a surprise but welcome favorite of the year for me :) So glad yall mentioned it

11:05 YES!! I love Love After World Domination ❤ At last; Power Rangers and forbidden love. That was actually based on a Super Sentai season (Carrangers, aka Power Rangers Turbo) with a Red Ranger falling in love with a villain.

What do you mean Spy X Family *pretends* to be a perfect family? Their wakku wakku is real!

Worth the wait. That’s for sure. Good job putting this altogether Robin

Bochi is my anime of the year, though can't complain about spy X family taking top spot. Bochi took a manga that is only decent and put so much creativity and love into it that it is simply astounding. The animation was immense in its variation and creativity, the songs were absolute bangers that honestly deserved a mention in best song category, and the humour is brilliant. It's not only the anime that deals with being an introvert the best, but it's also the best slice of life anime I've ever seen.

I actually really like Eminence in the Shadows, one of the few recent animes I watched religiously as soon as it aired. Maybe cause I'm an Overlord fan and it gave huge similar vibes. 🤷‍♂

A lot of good choices. Your picks for Best Fantasy were both enjoyable. The only thing that bothers me is that Lycoris Recoil wasn't nominated or the winner for more awards, as it was one of the best shows for that year.

OH! Hell yes! Your lists are always so spirited and funny" You're the best!

Correction: You pronounced the PI part of Fuuto PI wrong. It's "P. I" as in Private Investigator. Not "Pie". Also it's Kamen Rider. Not Super Sentai. The show itself is an anime sequel to Kamen Rider W(Double). But other than those complaints, happy it got mentioned in this video. Also, I'm surprised Shenmue The Animation and Tokyo Mew Mew New wasn't nominated for anything.

I'm still inclined to believe that Summertime Render deserves to be number 1, with all its twists and turns, shocks and reveals. This was one roller coaster ride I had the most fun with in years and now stands as my new favorite anime of all time. Close runner ups would be Bocchi the Rock and Made in Abyss Season 2, all are prime examples of why I love watching anime.

So happy you picked Sasaki and Miyano as Best Romance. As a gay anime fan, it was so cute and filled my heart with joy. I even cried at the ending because of how beautiful the romance is. Like Heartstopper, Sasaki and Miyano is a high school romance that focuses on the romantic feelings of gay love. If a show like this aired when I was in high school, it might’ve helped me feel more comfortable with myself and come out sooner. Shame that Crunchyroll ignored it in the Best Romance category, but the show wins in my book.

Uncle From Another World deserves to be number 1. Mostly because it shows that the main hero doesn't need to be young and handsome... or popular.

Awesome video Robyn from anime America and great list of great anime awards list of 2022,fantastic job.

GREAT video as always! From the bottom of my hearth thank you! The list rocked!

One of my favorites for 2022 was I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss because it was refreshing for what it was and the fact that an otome game was used as the plot point with an interesting female and challenges.

Ya Boy Kongming is one of the most wholesome animes I have seen in years. Also thanks for the recommendation on Raven of the Inner Palace

I haven’t watched all this year, but read summaries of a few that picked my interest. For the record; Fuuto Pi is an adaptation of Kamen Rider W, not Sentai, they’re just the same genre. Heck, for some reason jazz music seems to be trending in Japan. I didn’t watched Bochi the Rock, cause I’ve seen a few clips and I pity the poor girl and it was hard for to watch. A bit surprised you categorize a few to the bottom, despite their popularity. Now, for 2023 awards in advance, I recommend Tondemo Isekai Cheat, Tomo is a Girl, Ningen Fushin, Clueless Transfer Student, Reincarnation of Exorcist, Konosuba Bakuen spinoff.

I'm glad over 30 percent of the fans voted for Spy x Family the obvious best anime of the year! I have no idea how Cyberpunk won Crunchyroll's anime of the year award! Now I have to adamantly disagree about your opinion The Eminance in Shadow! Have you seen the animation and stunning background shots? And the main character Cid is hilarious! He's going around just trying to look cool and fulfill his dream which is basically being the biggest Chunni ever! And the story with Princess Rose in the last 5 or 6 episodes was one of the biggest tear jerkers of the season! Also I was surprised no one mentioned the Dreamer song from My Boy Kongming it was such an amazing song totally best of this season! And finally the 2nd opening and ending of Spy x Family were even better than the first ones right? Why do the awards only ever mention the first opening and ending for Spy x Family??? I guess not many people see things the way I do...

Eminence in Shadow being under Disappointing feels like it’s being placed there for the wrong reasons. Obviously, everyone has different preferences and I can totally get how Eminence in Shadow just isn’t for a lot of people, but it sounds like it was being held with expectations of things it never promised. It’s a parody of isekai, and that’s how it advertises itself. Obviously, the edginess is up to preference and I can totally get why this series might not be some people’s cup of tea, but it’s not being overly edgy because it thinks it’s cool, it’s being overly edgy because it’s CRINGE. It’s a very large and intentional part of its parody. Being disappointed because of incorrect assumptions about what the show would be when it makes itself very clear is on the viewer, not the show. I find it strange that Aharen-San was placed in the top worst anime. It wasn’t particularly special, but it was a fine, sweet enough anime. Just because it has a somewhat similar premise to Komi-San doesn’t mean it should be held to the same standards, especially when it’s not trying to do the same thing. More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers is actually surprisingly good. I would actually be interested in seeing where it’ll go. Oh, it absolutely has some extreme fanservice and gets far too horny, it has some good content. I totally see why someone would place it in worst anime for just the horniness alone, but it has good stuff too. Overall, it feels like a lot of the stuff on these lists were not watched all the way through, and placing series in worst/negative categories without even watching the whole thing feels disingenuous.

Great video! Thanks for including Requiem of the Rose King. And I think the ending song on Bastard was better than the opening song.

I'm happy that Kamen Rider W Fuuto Pi was mentioned twiced. I was hoping Mobile suit Gundam witch from Mercury would've been on the list.

Glad that Fuuto PI had some love. Also "Kamen Rider", Robyn. It not sentai. :P Anywho, great list.

I am disappointed that you picked Eminence in Shadow as your Most Disappointing. Aside from that, I kinda agree with some of your choices here. I will try to watch Raven in Inner Palace and see if it's my cup of tea.

Yay, yay, yay. After a worthwhile wait, a lovely anime awards. So glad that Spy x Family is where it belongs. I know many people may say it is overhyped but it was magnificent. There was no other anime that enjoyed nearly as much. Loved it so much I am buying the manga (which is awesome as well). Go Forger Fam. Many of my other favourites of the year were on the list, but the only thing missing some love was the Call of the Night. Thanks for all your efforts. We love and appreciate it! Your award lists are a highlight of my anime analysis viewing.

Here is My Top 5 Best Anime of 2022: 1. Spy X Family 2. Shenmue: The Animation 3. My Dress-Up Darling 4. Chainsaw Man 5. Kotaro lives Alone

I hope you get to watch Suzume. I just saw it in the cinemas in Melbourne so I hope you can get it too! It was a wonderful movie. Loved your 2022 best and worst anime video like always. Thanks so much for all the effort you put in to it!!

As someone who doesn’t watch anime all that much, Spy X Family really caught my attention and is one of the most enjoyable shows I had the pleasure of watching. A perfect blend of comedy and slice of life with some action and drama here and there. I love all the characters but my favorite is Loid aka Twilight. He’s an awesome and competent male character I like alot, which hasn’t happened for a while. Cool, badass, top tier secret agent, talented, extremely intelligent, mysterious, and is pretty handsome oppose to the dull designs male characters in non-shonen have to be cursed with. And yet, in-spite of everything he excels at, he still has flaws and insecurities that makes him not just a character but a person.

Lucifer and the biscuit hammer to me is another example of "if you want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself."

I would move Eminence in Shadow from Most Disappointing to Hottest Trash. I mean, come on, the main character in that show is gaslighting *himself*. That is gloriously stupid.

No love for Call of the Night!?!?!?

Don’t forget Robyn Lucy was Voiced by Emi Lo & David was Voiced by Zach Aguilar! 9:09 Oh right Cyberpunk Edgerunner 7:18 I’m quitting Heroing??? 5:43 Wow Robyn 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 5:05 Oh Yes those Anime characters 😊😊

Oh my gosh - thank you for talking about Raven Consort of the Inner Palace!

Spy × Family being your pick for no.1 gives me so much life. Shame the best movie category had to be removed, because I did want to hear your thoughts on Suzume and One Piece: Film Red, but maybe next year. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch DIY and Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting.

It’s 2023 and I still haven’t finished Spy x. Family

I'm so happy that Tokyo mew mew came back as a reboot that's a bit closer to the manga + with some changes (it was the only thing I watched last year as I was pretty busy) 😅 oh yeah and season is currently airing this year

Fuuto Pi in not super sentai. Its Kamen Rider. Huge difference.

Kinda sad that Gundam: The Witch from Mercury never got a mention here... Oh well...

Isekai Ojisan should have got best OP animation. It's done in the style of 90s Sega games which makes the opening look totally unique and it's full of nostalgia too. And this is coming from someone who played Nintendo during the 90s.

timestamps? kaguya-sama? the quintessential quintuplets? takagi-san? lycoris recoil? my stepmom's daughter is my ex?

It been a while Robin☺️I love your anime awards

Gotta say, normally “more than a married couple” would have been a bad flop but the manga really turned it around once the couples settled out. It was really rather decent.

nice to see this and to have tiffany and laura join robyn, good times!

Fuuto PI is Kamen Rider, not Sentai

Good work on this list.

Why no Chiki Chiki Ban Ban for best op or best song? Heathens! In all serious tho, I always enjoy these videos and I've been looking forward to it for a while so thanks for the update!

How can you ignore Skeleton knight In Another World for best isekai like that?

My own top 10 anime of 2022: 10. *Mob Psycho 100 III* 9. *Summertime Render* 8. *Shadows House Season 2* 7. *Ya Boy Kongming!* 6. *Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2* 5. *Urusei Yatsura* 4. *Cyberpunk Edgerunners* 3. *Chainsaw Man* 2. *Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Ultra Romantic* 1. *Spy x Family* Honestly a really solid year for anime overall, here's hoping 2023 can live up to it!

Eminence in shadow was easily the best isaki. Especially if you realize what is really happening which you clearly do not, think Haruhi Suzumiya. Sure it was a little weak in the middle but the end was great.

Thanks anime America now I wanna watch the cyberpunk anime and spy family and blue lock, I have to watch soccer my older brother used to play soccer when he was a kid and teenager.

Best and most depressing sequel is Made in Abyss - The Golden City of the Scorching Sun.

There were a few isekais from last year I enjoyed. None I'd say were "great" but some enjoyable easy-watching stuff. "By the grace of the gods" was one of them. Was just "sweet".

Requiem of the Rose King became an anime??? I love that manga!!❤ could never finish it because my bookstore stopped distributing them!

I saw a screen cap of I’m the Villainess so I’m Taming the Final Boss at the beginning and was excited thinking my most underrated anime would get some love😢 Sadly that was not the case. It was just so good with the villainess being a force of nature plus feeling more like a villain than in “All routes lead to doom”. Plus she is voiced by Kaguya’s English ba and she does feel alot like What if Kaguya-sama was isekaeid

22:23 YES! Thank you, Robyn! You said it all X3 yes. Best boy. Good boy. I love him so much! X3

My current favorite storyline is that of the beast tamer who was exiled from his party meets a cat girl from the strongest race

I really love you Robin, but HOW DARE YOU???😡 The Eminence in Shadow is Edgelord Heaven. "I am ATOMIC." Best Anime line 2022.😁

Me watching Bastard!! Netflix: Skip Intro? Me: no and don't you dare ask again.

It’s supposed to _Lycoris Recoil._ It’s named for a flower, related to the amaryllis.

You know an anime is popular when the ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) community creates examinations, scenarios, and roleplays based on it, while cosplaying as a particular character. I've seen some for Spy X Family, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, even one for Blue Lock.

In rec room of the rose king what Shakespearean works were being combined? I want to know before I give the enemy a try.

25:18 Yes! 😆😆😆😆😆😆Bleach 😊😊 24:55 Demon Slayer 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 22:02 Oh yes Lucy & David 😊😊😊😊😊 19:05 Chainsaw Man Kickback 😊😊😊😊

Thank you for the video.

Cool

I saw Suzume no Tojimari in the cinema on Sat nite. Great movie and treats the view intelligently.

Made In Abyss 2 was fantastic. But "Campfire Cooking in Another World With My Absurd Skill" had Fenrir and Sui... and lots of delicious food which made me so sad that I'm deathly allergic to most meat, thanks to ticks. :C

Commenting as I watch so lots of edits for notes First note: The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting is a solid anime. I actually JUST binged it for the first time with the season only being 12 episodes. It's a good show. A solid choice for favorite. Also Spy X Family getting almost 1/3 of the votes is as hilarious to me as it is 😂 unsurprising Second note: Best Fantasy winner and runner-up are two I've never heard of but I'm definitely adding to my watchlist especially our runner-up Third note: Best Isekai...same as Best Fantasy. Enough said😅 Fourth Note: Sci-fi isn't a genre I'm usually interested in but both the winner and runner-up look AWESOME so it might actually get me more into it Fifth Note: I'm probably gonna skip the drama ones. They look awesome in style but drama isn't one I'm interested in as much as a focus of genre Sixth Note: Love After World Domination is SUCH a good anime! Like Robyn said it's Power Rangers crossed with Romeo and Juliet but done in a very comedic way and it's BRILLIANT. Shame it was only runner-up Seventh note: Yeah no surprise Chainsaw Man won. And from what I've seen a solid runner-up choice that I'll definitely add to my watchlist 😅 (which is growing longer now) Eighth note: Adventure winners ... eh they look cool but I'll probably not be watching them

I got to say I don’t really like sports anime but I totally understand how you feel blue lock took me by surprise i needed more and even read the manga can’t wait for season 2 😅

You know what they say, sometimes you need to wallow through the trash in order to get straight to the treasure.

Great video, but the next Award show(like the "2023" one next year), add a "So Bad It's Good" award.

Hey Robyn, I hope you'll give The Eminence in Shadow anime another chance, since season 2 is coming up next month. It has vampires 🧛‍♀️

👍

Akiba Maid War was gold

Your top personal pick, chef's kiss! Moe! Moe! Kyun!💖

OK ok... ok. For Best Sci-Fi, where would Kidou Senshi Gandamu Suisei no Majo have fallen? Or is it not being counted since the last episode aired in 2023?

Am I the only fan of Raven Consort here?

My personal top 5 Gundam the Witch From Mercury Kaguya Sama Ultra romantic Chainsaw Man Urusei yatsura 2022 And Bleach thousand year blood war BLEACH IS BACK BABY!!!!!!

Fuuto Pi, is there no familiarity with the Kamen Rider (W) franchise? And no mention of Witch from Mercury? Tragic!

Well i didn't watch any bad animes this year, but i don't their wasn't anything very awful this year. Robyn then share with us "A Couple of Cuckoos" Oh Really Japan, Can You Not? Automatic Worst Anime Of 2022, #1 Loils and Oni-Chan Fetishes, NO, EWWW, STOP IT!!!!!! Also Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer i guess got The Promised Neverland Season 2 treatment, which is really sad.

Futo P.I. is a great and enjoyable series and I do recommend you to watch the series that originate from Kamen Rider W (the W is pronounced as double and should be obvious on why when you watch the series) that's Shotoro and Phillip being best bros with an ending i am sure will get Robin to cry. Look I know it's a minor nitpick and not all that important (but most importantly not trying to be a um atcktuly guy) Futo P.I. is not Super Sentai but instead is Kamen Rider. Yes I know the are produced by the same people and both are tokusaku Super hero series, but they do have enough differences to count as slightly different kind of series. I do have recommendations of both Kamen rider and Super Sentai series i think you would enjoy and would be open to help you with any videos if you ever want someone who is more familiar with kind of stuff.

Out of curiosity, did you watch eminence in shadow past ep 1?

These were my top 5 animes from last year 1. Dance Dance Danseur 2. Sasaki and Miyano 3. My Dress Up Darling 4. Blue Lock 5. Demon Slayer S2

Have you thought about doing a list of the top 10 hypnosis/possession scenes in anime?

To Anime America: big fan of your channel just want to put my pick for best anime of 2022 is definitely Spy x Family also shout out to best anime of 2022 is definitely a guilty pleasure for me it would be Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out of His Party & Eminence in Shadow & was hoping you could review Beast Tamer for me as a request.

Excellent list as always, my personal favourite anime of this year was one not in the video. RWBY Ice Queendom was an absolute joy to watch, Studio Shaft nailed it with an interesting story about 3 girls trying to save and better understand their friend who is trapped in a dream world that feeds off her deepest fears and insecurities. I love that fans don’t have to have seen Rwby to understand it. The updated animation is beautiful and the concept of the Nightmare Grimm was fascinating and so well written in my opinion. Highly recommend it.

30:28 Wow, you need to smack your editor with a rolled-up newspaper. Also, you're crazy if you didn't like Eminence in Shadow, but it sounds like you just didn't get the joke.

I still love Don't Hurt Me My Healer

Rip ranking of King's got nothing lol

Spy x family,chainsaw man and my dress up darling is just fucking awesome I love them

Seeing Akiba Maid War getting some love gives me the warm fuzzies. Was my personal AOTY.

While Blue lock was so good We also had Love all of play which ruined humongous amount of opportunity which could have propelled it to be a great show

Personally, if there's one anime i love from the 2022 line up... I absolutely loved Fuuto PI. Kamen Rider W is exceptionally amazing as an anime.

Can you do a Top-10 Anime Characters who have PTSD😱🔫😠

I disagree with the placement of Shinobi no Ittoki and the comment of course there's a school for that. The school episodes don't even last more than 3 episodes in total.

Wait, there was not a single mention of G Witch? Seriously?

As far as openings, I'm not surprised that 🎶The RUMBLING 🎶 was #1. That tune lives rent FREE in my head.

Fuuto PI sweep

Seeing Coldrain in best opening and songs made me quite happy~
