No. 10: Proof that a science student fell in love. r=1-sinθ (18 votes)

The TOP 2 were far ahead of the 3rd place and below, and were in competition with each other.
As a result, "TIGER & BUNNY 2," which came in an impressive first place, is the long-awaited sequel to the first season that aired in 2011. It is the second season of the popular "TIGER & BUNNY" series, which also drew attention for its novel setting of an American comic book-style hero carrying a sponsor's logo on his back. In the first season, the highlight was the bond between Kaburaki T. Toratetsu, a.k.a. Wild Tiger, a hero who has passed the peak of his popularity, and Barnaby Brooks, Jr. In particular, Heez Thomas, played by Nobunaga Shimazaki, seems to have gained popularity among women with his "tsunken" character reminiscent of Barnaby's early days.
The process of the gradual unification of the friends, the battle scenes that make the most of their cooperation, and the storyline with its double- and triple-developments are all as well-crafted as in the first season, and we look forward to more battles in October 2022, when episodes 14 and beyond will be available on Netflix.


Second place went to "RPG Real Estate," which was highly acclaimed since it was ranked No. 1 in Akiba Research Institute's "Spring 2022 Anime Popularity Poll. The mood in the first half of the anime was relaxed, but the unexpectedly serious development in the second half attracted much attention. The same "Manga Time Kirara" series, "Slow Loop" and "NEW GAME!" also feature scenes of people struggling with work and relationships, but this time the story takes place in a different world, so many people enjoyed the freshness of the story. However, this time, the story is from a different world, and many people seemed to enjoy the freshness of the story.
In the latter half, Hina Kino's younger sister, Fur, who was ranked No. 1 in the "2022 Spring Anime Lead Female Voice Actor Popularity Poll," becomes an important character. If you haven't seen the show yet, please pay attention to the changes in Farr from the beginning of the show.


And the first part of the "Which one was interesting? The original robot anime "Borderlands War Machine Part 2," which was ranked third in the "2021 Fall Anime Popularity Poll," also came in at third place. The story begins with a "reunion" after the first part, which ended with an intriguing ending.
In the first part, the hero Amou, who strengthens his will to fight to protect people, is a heroic and moving figure. In the second part of the film, he has grown up and matured through his bitter experiences. The three of them, together with Gashin and Zion, who are friends of the resistance, struggle to find answers to their problems, and this time, I got the impression that the story was carefully portrayed. The story was concluded with the possibility of a sequel, and I would love to see more drama and mecha action in a third season or a movie version.


Fourth place went to the home comedy x action "SPY x FAMILY," which attracted attention early on, partly because the original story won numerous manga awards. Particularly impressive was Atsumi Tanesaki's performance as Anya, a girl who can read people's minds. In the second season, which will start in October, a new member of the Forger family will appear...⁉
The OP video, with its picture-book touch and intense action, and the theme song "Mixed Nuts" by Official Bearded Man-dism, are thrilling and heart-pounding and perfect for this work.


In a change from the top four fantasy and battle titles, "BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story-," an original anime about women's golf, came in fifth place.
However, don't think of it as a mere girls' sports anime. The main character, Eve, earns her living by gambling on golf in a slum in a foreign country, and the golf scenes are full of bizarre developments, with a series of deadly shots being exchanged by golf players with strong personalities. The golf scene is full of bizarre developments, with the golf balls flying through the air like bullets and comets! In a sense, it is a super golf anime in the style of a classic boys' manga.
In addition, the nostalgic and austere background music, the theme song by Kami Hirose, and the "Gunpla" are also appealing. This is an anime work that is devoted to entertainment, and you can continue watching it with excitement even if you do not know anything about golf.
Please enjoy the interview as well.

Commemorating the end of " BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story-" Season 1 broadcast! The behind-the-scenes story of Season 1 and highlights of Season 2 that set everyone's "birdie brain" [Akihiro Sekiyama, producer interview Part 2].


The opening episode of "Palipi Komei," a cover of the international club music hit "Chiki Chiki Bang Bang" by Queendom, became a hit on YouTube with more than 10 million views due to its addictive nature. The show's commitment to music is evident in its use of the hit song "Mood Up↑↑↑" released in 2006 as the ED theme, and in the lengthy broadcast of a rap battle in which voice actors such as Ryutaro Okiayu actually lend their voices to the battle.


Seventh-place finisher "Kaguya-sama ga Kesshirasai -Ultra Romantic-" was a truly romantic and elaborate production using balloons at the end of a cultural festival. The 8th-ranked "Machikado Mazoku 2-chome," also from the "Manga Time Kirara" series and similar to "RPG Fudosan," featured a funny dialogue between Shamiko (CV: Yoshimi Obara) and Momo (CV: Akari Kito) in a loose, everyday setting that had us laughing and enjoying every second of it.


In ninth and tenth place, two works featured characters who make use of their expertise and skills: in "Honkaku no Gekkoujo: I Can't Choose the Means to Become a Librarian (3rd season)," Mine's decision regarding her family was moving, and in tenth place, "A Science Student Fell in Love and I Proved It. r=1-sinθ," a bumbling couple as usual. The "Science student fell in love and tried to prove it. r=1-sinθ" at No. 10 was also well-received for its bakappuru (silly couple) attitude.


There were many other spring 2022 anime that were aired, and we hope you will check out the works ranked 11th and below below below.
