Click here for the 2022 Year-End Chart.

• Show of the Year will go to a non-anime once again after it went to an anime last year for the first time since 2015.
• There were 31 different No. 1 shows, matching 2018’s record.
• Thirty shows debuted in 2022, a 6.25% decrease vs. last year (32)
• Ten (33.3%) of them were No. 1 debuts: Healin’ Good PreCure (Jan. 1), In the Land of Leadale (Jan. 29), Freak Angels (Feb. 19), Kaiju Girls (Mar. 5), My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale (Apr. 9), Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (Apr. 16), I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level (Jun. 11), Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (Jul. 16), Call of the Night (Oct. 8), and Sonic Prime (Dec. 24).

• The grossing bust continued in 2022. The year finished with 9-week moving averages falling to near 20 year lows. The 2022 average was 232.1 million grosses, the lowest annual average since 2004.
• The points system for the Year-End chart was changed this year. Instead of only giving a show credit for reaching No. 1 on the T-10 chart, the Year-End chart now takes into account the full weekly charts: all shows and all positions.
• The chart uses the following formula: 10/(p^0.5)*g, where p is the show’s position on the T-10 chart, and g is how much the show grossed that week. A similar formula was used for the Top 25 Shows chart: 10000/(p^0.5), where p is the show’s position on the Top 25 Shows chart.
