Anime
These are my favorite TV anime of 2022, plus two ONAs. Entries are listed by Japanese MAL title. Two cour anime from fall are counted for the year they started in, so Ousama Ranking isn’t on the list. Heike Monogatari is listed on MAL as a winter 2022 anime but was released entirely in 2021 as an ONA and only aired on Japanese TV this year, so it is on last year's list.

gave your heike review a thumbs-up and also shared it around in a few servers i'm in, that is if you condone that. on to that itself, i think you summed up the experience fairly succinctly when you said the narrative is scaled in a way where it's easy to overlook the very dryly delivered minutiae among other similarly decoded forms of disconnect that draw the average person out of a meaningful affinity for the subject matter being recounted as though directly paraphrased from the mouth of a museum exhibit tour guide themselves.
