In this list are all the anime movies that have been released in Mexican theaters in the year 2022. You can find information on when they were exhibited, in which chain, classification, if they were dubbed or left in their original language, distributor and release date. v(^^)v

None of the titles in this stack take place in real locations, but they all have settings inspired by a specific Asian culture or mix of cultures.

I understand there may be titles missing from this stack. If you wish to let me know of anime I have overlooked, please explain why they belong so that I can add them.

A compilation of anime that began airing during the month of February.

This Month is most notable for airing the original Dragon Ball, Naruto: Shippuuden and the directorial debut of Satoshi Kon with Perfect Blue (premiered in August, but MAL logs it's theatrical February release so I'm keeping it here lol).

GKIDS is an American film distributor based in New York with, according to the Los Angeles Times, a focus on "sophisticated, indie" animation. GKIDS releases critically acclaimed mostly hand-drawn, international films—such as the works of the independent Japanese anime studio Studio Ghibli—to North American audiences. GKIDS also distributes computer animated and stop-motion films in addition to hand-drawn ones, as well as American films by independent filmmakers. The name is said to be an acronym for "Guerrilla Kids International Distribution Syndicate".

In this list are those anime that have been distributed by the distributor GKIDS.

Is it true that there's no better salvation than not being born in this world? Is the world so ugly that it's not worth living in? Should I even give it a chance?

Here we are on this earth, with only a few decades to live and we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, great thoughts, real affections, and enduring undertakings. For life is too short to be little

These anime have elements of death.

Here are some anime/donghua that were surprisingly enjoyable and have around or less than 100K members.

*I tried my best to pick only the ones that don't have unnecessary or bad fanservice, don't sexualize teens/children and don't have boring and overdone plots!

This stack lists the winners of selected categories of the Sakugabooru Animation Awards 2022.

Sakugablog is a blog (yeah) that specializes in Japanese animation, with in-depth articles on various aspects of the medium, from breakdowns of single sequences to behind-the-scenes reporting on the industry.
It focuses more on the aesthetic and technical aspects of anime than on their plot or writing.

The anime listed here were selected at least once by the thirteen contributors to the article, in one of the categories I have considered fitting for this stack.
Such categories are: Best show, Best animation design, Best aesthetic, Best movie.

∼∼∼

There you can read the motivations behind each choice, the non-anime winners, as well as the winners of the categories I chose not to include, namely: Best episode, Best opening, Best ending, Best music video, Creator Discovery. And much more.

I am not associated with SakugaBlog, just an occasional reader.

Standalone movies from 2020-Present.
Some prequel movies are included: Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Fruits Basket: Prelude.

Shows in which parts of the natural world such as its landscapes, flora and fauna and the people who live harmoniously alongside it are portrayed with a particular focus and reverence.

Shout! Factory, LLC, trading as Shout! Studios (formerly known as Shout! Factory) is an American home video and music distributor founded in 2002 as Retropolis Entertainment. Its video releases, issued in DVD or Blu-ray format, include previously released feature films, classic and contemporary television series, animation, live music, and comedy specials. Considered a boutique Blu-ray label, Shout! Studios, in addition to its mainline home video releases, also releases films under the sublabels Scream Factory (for horror film releases), Shout! Select, and Shout! Kids.

In its anime catalog, it has interesting titles that could be seen and enjoyed by anyone, although most of them are films distributed by GKIDS.

Une liste d'animé notées moins de 7/10 sur Myanimelist mais tout de même recommandés par la commu Canard PC

Comprehensive list of standalone movies from this year. Not a recommendation list.

I got tired of sorting through the infinite tide of throwaway franchise movies and Detective Conans trying to find movies I missed.

Mostly Japanese movies only, though Korean and Chinese animation drawing heavily from anime genres might also be considered.

Movies not yet available in English at the time of this writing will be commented as such.

Length must be at least 60 minutes.

These ones I don't know much about and not necessarily have an interest in watching, but are recommended.
