Anime Spring 2022
It’s finally getting sunnier and greener outside the window, so it’s time to prepare a cosseasonal recommendation – Anime Spring 2022.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the very beginning, a brief summary of the previous season. I recommend reading the linked post, as here I will list the best summer series in a nutshell (you can also see the final commentary and rating of each series listed in the aforementioned post on the previous season).
- Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku
- Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 3
- CUE!
- Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru
- Slow Loop
The disappointment of the season?
- Shuumatsu no Harem –I will comment briefly – just read the manga.
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1608464518974{padding-top: 4px !important;padding-bottom: 4px !important;}”][vc_column_text]I would like to point out that this entry will be supplemented as the first episodes are released. Descriptions, my opinion and screenshots will be available as usual, so I recommend looking here more often. PVs (preview videos) are listed under the next section heading.

After a rather modest winter, spring promises to be sensational. I have selected as many as nineteen new series to watch (making a total of twenty including the one left over from winter) – I honestly can’t remember the last time there was such a choice.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1608464518974{padding-top: 4px !important;padding-bottom: 4px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Two more issues:
- Why do I always start the descriptions with the visual side? That’s because it’s usually the first thing we see, and especially in the case of the first episodes – it becomes memorable.
- Why don’t I describe/watch series X? After all, it’s so great and all. I don’t know what is going to be a commercial hit now, but since I didn’t list it in my post, it means that I completely don’t care about this anime. I don’t list such series because it’s a waste of my time to watch them – by the same token, I don’t recommend them – because as I’ve mentioned many times – I only recommend what interests me.

Anime Spring 2022 season summary
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1608464518974{padding-top: 4px !important;padding-bottom: 4px !important;}”][vc_column_text]It’s time for a preliminary summary of the Spring 2022 Anime season, starting with the series I’m looking forward to the most, ending with those I’m indifferent to (some of them may turn out to be a complete waste of time – should that happen, the title will be crossed out below – if it happens that a series lands in the abandoned after just the first episode, I won’t review it at all). Short series I will not describe (those with episodes of up to 8 minutes), although I will list them (unless something I particularly like). It may also happen that some titles will be added. A quick legend: no color means that the series has not yet been described (most likely it has not premiered), while no color with the word drop – the series abandoned after 1 episode:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row section_type=”fullwidth” columns_gap=”60″ equal_column_height=”equal-column” section_id=”Lista”][vc_column width=”1/6″ tablet_width=”1-6″

Order of descriptions below = order of episode premieres. The full schedule for the Anime Spring 2022 season can be found here, for example.
As in the previous season’s entry, below the description of a given anime will appear my rating (according to the scheme available below) after the first and last episode:
Yes – I believe that the production is noteworthy.
Not quite –In the case of the first episode, it usually means that not enough of the plot was shown in it to recommend the series. In the case of impressions after the last episode – the series is average and can be skipped.
No – I don’t recommend it, it’s a waste of time.
As always, I’ll also report on the quality of the translation. If there’s a better alternative to the official subs from Crunchyroll or Funimation (and thus SubsPlease) for a given series, I’ll make a note after the first episode.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1663579776419{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai / 阿波連さんははかれない
With a positive attitude, Matsuboshi Raidou is starting a new phase of his life in high school with a completely changed environment. At earlier levels of education, he was unsuccessful in making new friends due to his facial expression, effectively scaring others into talking to him. In his new class, he takes a seat next to a petite girl called Aharen Reina. The boy tries to make contact with her, but Reina doesn’t seem interested in any way. It soon becomes apparent, however, that she, too, has had no luck making friends in the past, which makes them become friends rather quickly despite the fact that the girl can’t speak out loud and Raidou has to guess many things, which in turn leads to many misunderstandings….
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes– a really inviting first episode. Superb pair of main characters well and Minase Inori in the main role. Also from the aesthetic-visual side it was very pleasing to the eye, but the whole effect was disturbed by some background characters animated in 3D. In my opinion, static backgrounds would have worked much better than something so distinctive in a negative way against the background of a really nicely realized whole. I look forward to the next episodes.

Healer Girl
Fujii Kana is a freshman student of the art of healing people through singing. She and her classmates train alongside a world-renowned specialist in the field. One day – despite the prohibition of unsupervised treatment before graduation, however, Kana, in the absence of her tutor, decides to help an elderly patient who is a regular at the clinic where she is doing her training after her granddaughter knocks on the door late at night in terror and announces that something bad is happening to her grandmother….
Do I recommend after the first episode? Not quite – while the audiovisual setting stands at a very high level, this style of directing does not convince me (as if to compare to something – Love Live, especially the newer series from this universe). Sudden, random musical inserts interrupting the flow of given scenes completely don’t appeal to me, and the chemistry between the heroines seems a bit forced. I’ll see what happens next, but at this point I have very mixed feelings.

Tomodachi Game
Katagiri Yuuichi has struggled financially all his life, but thanks to his friends he has learned to be a positive and happy person. In order to keep his promise, Yuuichi puts aside money for a school trip. However, when the money collected mysteriously disappears, suspicion falls on two friends, Sawaragi Shiho and Shibe Makoto, who were responsible for collecting the deposits. Although they are innocent, Shiho and Makoto take responsibility for failing to protect the money when no one else comes forward.
A few days later, Yuuichi and his friends receive mysterious letters that trick each of them into meeting. Upon arrival, they are ambushed and rendered unconscious. They wake up in a mysterious room in the presence of “Manabu-kun,” a character from a controversial children’s program whose broadcast has been halted due to harmful content. He informs the group that one of them has indirectly brought them together to settle a large debt. They are to play a series of games to test the strength of their bond and trust in each other. As the group’s faith weakens due to an increasing number of secrets and betrayals, Yuuichi must figure out who among his “friends” he can trust, and eventually discover the identity of the traitor.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – while the first part of the episode did not particularly encourage me to watch (probably the most standard of the standard introductions to the series about the game of life), just how the stage of the first game has already been realized intrigued me. I hope the whole thing doesn’t become overly edgy – as is usually the case with similar stories. The visuals I have nothing to complain about, the song from the opening (which was used as an ending in this episode) is catchy – I’ll see what happens next.
Deaimon / であいもん
Irino Nagomu ran away from home ten years ago to live in Tokyo. Influenced by his older classmates at school, he learns to play the guitar and becomes a member of a musical group. One day, shortly after his group breaks up, he receives a letter from home, informing him that his father is in the hospital and asking him to take over the family store. Without a second thought, the boy returns to his hometown.
However, during his absence, a ten-year-old girl – Yukihira Itsuka – started working at the store. Nagomu’s mother became her foster mother in her son’s absence. The boy learns on the spot that everything is fine with his father, and his stay in the hospital was limited to a simple procedure. Nonetheless, a lot of memories come back to him, and the desire to inherit the store reappears in his mind….
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – I will say frankly that the launch episode far exceeded my expectations. I was sure that it would be a series focused on the production of sweets – fortunately, I was wrong, and the plot itself, the characters and the chemistry between them make it likely to be one of the candidates for the level of this season. On top of that, the visuals are gorgeous, and the voice actors brilliantly rendered the characters. I’m definitely looking forward to more!
RPG Fudousan / RPG不動産
The story begins 15 years after the demon king was defeated and the world was at peace. Kotone has just graduated from school with the title of mage. Upon arriving in the capital, the RPG Real Estate Agency, where she is to begin her apprenticeship. She is greeted on the spot by a team of employees consisting of the half-man Faa, the priestess Rufuria and the warrior Rakira. It is only after they find an apartment for Kotone that they realize she has come to them for her internship.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Not quite – while the characters themselves are really enjoyable, the visuals are great, and the voice actresses give their best, I have some concerns that the series will become derivative rather quickly. Although, on the other hand, I don’t want to demonize – if the characterization and interactions between them maintain the level of the first episode, I will definitely finish watching.
Machikado Mazoku: 2-choume / まちカドまぞく 2丁目
Yoshida Yuuko is a sickly girl who has spent a lot of time in the hospital. Everything changes when she starts high school. One night she has a strange dream where she meets her ancestor and learns that she has demonic blood flowing in her and must defeat the Magic Girl residing in her town to restore the Dark Clan to its former glory. The next day she wakes up with grown horns and a long tail. Without a hint of surprise, her mother explains that their family descends from the Dark Clan exiled to a life of misery and poverty by their eternal enemies – the magical girls of the Light Clan. The only way to remove the curse from their ancestors is for Yuuko to find a magical girl, murder her and douse her ancestor’s demon god statue in blood, her true name being Shadow Mistress Yuuko. Unfortunately, Yuuko is one of the rather clumsy and clueless girls, so later that same day she almost dies under the wheels of a speeding truck. Ironically, she is saved by a magical girl – Chiyoda Momo, whom she is tasked with annihilating. To her misfortune, she also turns out to be her classmate.
Sezon 2.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – we have basically a continuation of what was seen in season one, whose review can be found here. I’m looking forward to more episodes.
I recommend the much improved subtitles from LoopSubs.
Date A Live IV
Thirty years ago, Asia was almost leveled to the ground by a mysterious space quake – a phenomenon characterized by strong vibrations of space of unknown origin. As a result, more than 150 million people died. Since then, similar phenomena have begun to haunt the entire globe, but on an incomparably smaller scale. Many major cities have managed to implement automated security systems consisting of, among other things, giant shelters with space for all residents. One such city is Tenguu, where she lives and studies – Itsuka Shidou along with her younger sister – Kotori. One day the town is hit by another shock. Shidou, worried about the fate of his sister, does not go to the shelter as recommended, but decides to look for her. The boy reaches the epicenter of the cataclysm, where he spots a mysterious girl. He learns from her that she is the being responsible for the mysterious tremors. Their conversation doesn’t last long, however, as a special unit fighting these beings quickly arrives on the scene, and in the blink of an eye the area turns into a battlefield.
A third force called Ratatoskr joins the clash – they believe that armed struggle against the Beings, is not a necessity. Its main commander turns out to be Kotori – Shidou’s younger sister. Without waiting for events to develop, she recruits her brother into her organization, showing him an alternative, very simple method of dealing with the Beings. It is to make them love him.
Season 4.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – Despite earlier concerns about the character design (after what I saw in the PV) – is not as bad as I thought, although I still prefer the one from previous seasons. As in the past, the beginning of the new season introduced a new heroine, so it was no surprise to me that Shidou meets Nia, whose angel is Raziel, almost at the beginning of the first episode. What more can I say – a decent start, I look forward to the next episodes.
I recommend the much improved subtitles from Nii-sama.
Shachiku-san wa Youjo Yuurei ni Iyasaretai. / 社畜さんは幼女幽霊に癒されたい。
Fushihara constantly forced to do after-hours work is on the verge of exhaustion. A certain little soul residing in her office, seeing the state she is in, decides to do everything to improve her mood at least a little and force her to have a decent rest at home.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – the whole thing was incredibly sweet as well as depressing at the same time. The character of Yuurei-chan is simply brilliantly created. I just hope that the next episodes will develop the characterization and relationships between the other characters a bit, otherwise the whole thing may become too derivative. In any case, the starting episode was by far positive.
Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi / くノ一ツバキの胸の内
The isolated Akane Clan, made up of only girls, mostly young kunoichi in training, has a provision in its code that all of them must obey without fail: ” Men are dangerous creatures, so contact with them is forbidden.” Kunoichi Tsubaki, leader of the Inu-Han (dog group), is an excellent adept with a promising future, but recently she has begun to feel unfamiliar emotions in her heart whenever the subject of boys comes up. Tsubaki is beginning to wonder if all is well with her, as all her classmates talk about the mysterious beings called men in an ironic and mocking tone….
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – CloverWorks lately, I think, aspires to be a studio that can always be counted on when it comes to visual issues. Animation and drawing quality – first class. The whole thing looked really brilliant. The whole thing turned out even better than I expected considering the fact that it is an adaptation of the manga by the author of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san (Yamamoto Souichirou). There is absolutely nothing here that I can complain about. Great characters and their interactions, amazing work by the voice actresses, the soundtrack (those shamisen!) and the aforementioned visuals. I look forward to watching the next episodes.
Spy x Family
For the agent known by the nickname “Twilight,” no assignment will be too risky if it is for the sake of peace. Acting as Westalis’ chief spy, Twilight works tirelessly to prevent extremists from sparking a war with neighboring Ostania. In her latest mission, she must investigate Ostanian politician Donovan Desmond by infiltrating his son’s school – the prestigious Eden Academy. Here’s where a problem arises – the agent faces the most difficult task of his career: getting married, having a child and creating a semblance of a normal family.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – at first I was not too convinced about this title, but after watching the whole episode I can successfully conclude that it will be one of the best series of the season. On the visual side correctly although it is clear that this is not the priority of Cloverworks this season – although they are helped by Wit Studio. The series is to have 24 episodes – but the second half will premiere only in the fall. It’s shaping up to be a really decent series about the daily life of a spy and the changes in his priorities. I look forward to the next episodes.
Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san / 可愛いだけじゃない式守さん
Izumi Yuu has struggled with bad luck since birth. Wherever he goes, he always has to expect that the worst will happen to him. However, there is an exception to this. His girlfriend, Shikimori Micchon, is the epitome of everything one would expect from an ideal partner. Sweet on a daily basis, faithful, serious when needed, and whenever she sees that Yuu might be in a difficult situation – determined to help him at all costs. This often causes extreme feelings of jealousy among his colleagues, who cannot understand why someone as charming as Shikimori chose Yuu as her partner.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – as I predicted, a really good romantic comedy with predominantly plots about ordinary, everyday life is shaping up. Oonishi Saori in the role of Shikimori is simply brilliant. The visuals are also pleasing to the eye. I definitely look forward to the next episodes.
Heroine Tarumono! Kiraware Heroine to Naisho no Oshigoto / ヒロインたるもの！〜嫌われヒロインと内緒のお仕事〜
Suzumi Hiyori leaves her hometown to pursue her passion for running, as suggested by her teacher. The girl chooses Sakuragaoka High School in Tokyo. Due to her family situation, she decides to look for a part-time job. Unfortunately, most employers don’t like the fact that Hiyori needs time to train and can’t work regular hours. After a few days, however, she finds an interesting, well-paid offer. She becomes an apprentice alongside the manager of her new classmates Someya Yuujirou and Shibasaki Aizou, who are members of the idol group LIPxLIP.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – it’s been a long time since I’ve watched any shoujo series, and I think I’ve come across a pretty good one. The animation and drawing quality are impressive. The male characters are typical of shoujo stories, but the setting seems interesting enough to me that I won’t get bored watching this series. A good start and long may it continue.
Summertime Render
After the death of his parents, Ajiro Shinpei lived with Kofune’s sisters Mio and Ushio, but then moved to Tokyo. However, after Ushio drowns while trying to save young Kobayakawa Shiori – the daughter of the owners of one of the stores – he returns home to mourn her passing at the funeral. However, he learns from his colleague that bruises on Ushio’s neck found at the autopsy cast doubt on the cause of her death. Shinpei is convinced that there must be another explanation. He quickly recalls folk tales from the island’s elders about dangerous shadow-like creatures. In addition, on his way back to the funeral, he saw the deceased Ushio in a dream, who asks him to save Mio, which is her last request. The boy has no doubt that something is up, and Ushio’s death is just a piece of the puzzle.
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – as for me, the best start of the season. Amazing atmosphere – kind of like a combination of Higurashi, Steins;Gate and Boku dake ga Inai Machi. PHENOMENAL visuals – very detailed artstyle, beautiful character design, lovely backgrounds and dynamic animation. On top of that, the directing style is like in the good old days (Watanabe Ayumu, also handled Nazo no Kanojo X, among others, which I quite admired recently, as you can see in my review). I can’t wait for more episodes, especially since 25 have been announced!
I strongly recommend subtitles from the Sandalphon group.
Kakkou no Iinazuke / カッコウの許嫁
Sixteen-year-old extremely gifted Megurogawa High School second-grade student Umino Nagi learns that he was mistakenly switched at birth. On his way to a dinner party where he is to meet his biological parents, he accidentally meets lively and straightforward Amano Erika, who is determined to make Nagi her pretend boyfriend because she never wants to get married. However, when Nagi arrives at the dinner party, he learns that his parents have decided to solve the swap problem by having him marry the daughter being raised by his biological parents…. and who turns out to be Erika herself!
Do I recommend after the first episode? Yes – great start, very nice visuals, Kitou Akari in the role of the main character as usual does not disappoint. Anyway, the whole cast is stellar. Nagi’s younger sister is Kohara Konomi, his rival at school is Touyama Nao, and the main character himself is Ishikawa Kaito. Also, even if the description doesn’t convince someone, this series is worth checking out if only for the voice actors. Overall, I really enjoyed the introduction of the characters in the opening episode. I don’t know the source material, I don’t know how, the plot will be carried on, however, my first association is Nisekoi. Also worth mentioning is the great song in the ending. I look forward to the next episodes.
