Best Anime To Watch In 2022 [Top Anime List To Watch]

Anime is a significant medium that can make us laugh, cry, and feel all sorts of emotions in-between. It’s a special form of entertainment that can’t be replaced by anything else. However, with such a large pool of anime series available, it’s only natural that some would stand out more than others. Some shows just speak to us on a deeper level and hit harder than most, leaving us feeling grateful for the experience.

The beauty of anime is that there is a different show for everyone. The series that resonate with us the most become our favorites, and oftentimes we find ourselves referring to them as the best anime. However, many of us haven’t seen a lot of good anime that could potentially be our new favorite. That’s why I’ve put together a list of the Top 100 Best Anime. This list is comprehensive, consisting of TV series, movies, modern animes, and cult classics. It covers a wide range of genres so that everyone can find something they love.
