In the poll held before the summer school season, " What will you watch next season? and " Hataraku Maou-sama!" competed for the top spot in the " 2022 Summer Anime Popularity Poll ". However, the holy war between the Evil God and the Demon King was recreated in the "2022 Summer Anime Popularity Poll" as well.
The result is available at ......, where "Evil God Dropkick X" won overwhelmingly by 8 times over "Hataraku Maou-sama! by a margin of eight times!


The "Evil God Girl" produced a local episode using tax payments from the hometown, collaborated with Hatsune Miku, and took an ultra-C approach to illegal uploading, among other topics that were unthinkable in the anime industry to date. It was an exciting broadcast in many ways, and it left a strong impact.
The fact that it provided entertainment both inside and outside the production may have been the reason for the overwhelming support.


Unfortunately, it did not get its revenge! The second place went to "Hataraku Maou-sama! However, the fact that it still did not concede the second place is to be commended.
A new little character named Aras Ramsus appeared in the second season. It was a child-rearing anime? The story's tempo is as fast-paced as ever, and the characters are just as appealing as in the first season. The stable and interesting story attracted many votes.

Third place went to " Licorice Recoil, " the most talked-about work of the 2022 summer cool season.


This work depicts the dark activities of "Licorice," a group of girl assassins who have been protecting Japan's security from behind the scenes, and their battle against terrorists.
The fact that it was a rather hardcore buddy story, rather than a yuri story, was also a high point for me personally.
It was a satisfying work, as if one had watched a big action movie over the course of 13 episodes.

These three titles were by far the most popular in the summer cool of 2022, but there were also a number of high-profile and noteworthy works in fourth place and below.


In fourth place was " Cuckoo's Forgiving Bride.
This is a romantic comedy work depicting complicated human relationships, a specialty of the recent "Weekly Shonen Magazine. Many viewers paid close attention to the drama, which was slowly drawn out over a two-cour period.


Also in fourth place was " Duel Masters King MAX.
This was a rare top ranking TCG anime for kids. This work was the conclusion of the "Duel Masters King" series that started in 2020 and the series featuring Kirifuda Joe that started in 2017, and was a culmination of the series.


In sixth place was " Topeki !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!," which depicts the daily lives of girls aiming for the top of the comedy industry The series was a success, with the following girls' performances.
Since this work was born from the material of a YouTube distribution program by Mirai Sasaki, Aimi, and Ayasa Ito, the audience was entertained by the high-tempo dialogue exchanged by the three girls.
Personally, I also loved the hilariousness of the OP theme!


Seventh place went to " Made in Abyss: Golden Land of the Rising Sun.
In contrast to the first season, which was quite violent in spite of its cute appearance, how was the second season ......? It was more powerful, going full throttle from the beginning, and chipping away at the viewer's hearts and minds. However, it also seemed to have increased the flavor, hope, and emotional depth of the human drama because of this.

In eighth place, three titles finished in a tie with the same number of votes.


Engage Kiss," which straightforwardly depicts "our favorite" elements of girls and brilliant battles; " Uta no Prince Sama! Maji LOVE Stalish Tours: The Beginning of the Journey," a prequel to the current blockbuster movie ; and "Crying," based on a story by Key, who dominated the world with his crying games. Primador, " which was created by Key, whose crying story and music captured the hearts of viewers, are all impressive works.


Although often overshadowed by the momentum of the top three, the fourth place and below were also lined with impressive anime.

There were many more anime titles broadcasted in the summer of 2022, and we invite you to check out the works ranked 11th and below below below.
