If there are some parts where the video is muted it is unfortunately because I got hit by copyright

I can't believe all these shows were only in 2022, I swear it feels like 5 years worth of good anime shows

Anime fans need to realise how blessed we are to have this man in our corner hyping up the industry. Peak video gigguk👏

The entire Made In Abyss section culminating in 27:28 is some damn fine piece of writing, presentation and editing. Serious kudos, you gave me real chills :')

Nothing beats Gigguk’s style of psychologically descriptive writing with a whole gallon worth of memes.

So glad Gigguk payed respect to my favorite anime of the year: The 2022 World Cup

This comment is probably gonna get lost in the soup, but whatever; I was lucky enough to contribute a tiny bit towards this season of Made in Abyss, and the love the show is getting is incredible. I was a fan of season 1 when it came out, and being able to have worked on season 2 was a huge point of personal pride, and seeing everyone loving it is equally incredible. I only put a little bit of work into the show but it makes me insanely proud to see where it is and how it's moving people. Anime of the year hands down, great work Gigguk.

Man Gigguk's literature teachers throughout his student years must've been reading fire after fire whenever they tell him to make an essay. Everything in this list is amazingly descriptive of what it is and the emotions you'll feel when viewing it, to the point that it feels like I've already watched the anime despite not even seeing a single episode about it. A true blessing to the anime community indeed.

Holy shit. What I took from this besides Gigguk's amazing ability to condense a years worth of top quality anime into a 30 min video is that his meme magic with football is top tier.

Giving Made in Abyss the #1 slot is big wow. It hit so damn hard. It was so good and ya, so much more than I expected in unexpected ways. Not sure if any show has hit me that hard, but its so hard to actually recomend due to what it is. Well spoken.

Thank you so much for giving Made in abyss the respect it deserve. This anime is the only anime that broke my spectrum of emotion. I walked into the anime with the notion "oh, this is just another anime portraying adulthood life stage through children-like characters" I was right but yet so wrong. To all you newcomers to this anime, don't be scared!!!

how does grant make every video so emotional Like jesus someone give his man an award

Made in Abyss is something really special. I started tearing up a bit when the piano sequence started. Go Kevin Penkin!

This guy is just unmatched ain't he. So relatable, so humorous and when he describes how certain anime make him or one feels you can't help but feel the same way. Always touching, always spectacular. Edit: just rewatched this and the Edgerunners bit hit even harder. Ah man.

When this first came out, I wondered how he could put Made in Abyss up there at #1, so I binge watched the whole thing. And dammit he's right.

His scripts are just something out of this world, I'll probably rewatch it 20 times

Gigguk always has a way with words to convey how a anime can make you feel and Made in Abyss was perfectly described.

Made in Abyss is definitely deserving of the #1 Spot. Overall great list.

Made in abyss season 2 really needs get more attention. It was overshadowed by so many of all the other big hitters coming out, but was one of my favorite sequals that came out. Music: impeccable Story: Heartbreaking World: Cruel Feels: 1000%

25:36 transition is smooth as hell

The transition in mob psycho review to made in abyss review literally sent my spine on chills. Made in abyss is definitely one of the GOAT shows out there.

Made in Abyss is going to be one of my favourite anime of all time, I can feel it. The innocence and wonder of the adventure these literal CHILDREN depart on, and the horrors they face as they would if their joirney took place in the real world. I love how it doesnt shy away from things like kids being frightened and peeing themselves, because thats exactly what a 12 year old in such a terrible situation might do. They dont give them plot armour just because they're kids, it makes it feel so impactful.

Made in Abyss is by far my favorite anime of all time. It’s so powerful and the journey you take is beyond anything you’d ever expect with this art style. I still haven’t finished Season 2, though, cause I don’t wanna be without episodes to watch if I ever need to watch something like it, but dammit, I’m already here, waiting for Season 3

Summertime Rendering the most underrated show of last year, thank you for mentioning it

My respect for gigguk when he said world cup as an better anime than most in 2022 📈📈📈

Made in Abyss was a roller coaster of emotion, when it's sad it really is fucking sad, when it's depressing it really is gut wrenching state of depression, when its happy and beautiful it really is delightful.

The best description I can give of Made in Abyss, especially season 2, is that it's a show that forces you to confront the natural suffering of life, and come to terms with it. That's the most accurate description of the emotions it invokes that I can come up with.

Ngl Made in Abyss gave me the biggest feeling of adventure that i ever felt. Watching people going into the unknown without any much information and with propably no way back, uncovering history, dark secrets, new creatures, artifacts and other stuff is amazing. Not many shows, books or other media can capture that feeling and i love it.

Ok but can we just take a second to appreciate the transition into #1? It was so CLEAN!

I've heard many speeches but the Made in Abyss one was by faaaar your best one Gigguk, really, such a amazing speech, i could not agree more Made in Abyss is special and deserve so much! Honestly it made me tear up a bit, hehe.

Bro, so happy to see you give Made in Abyss Season 2 the visibility it needed. The characters, the world building, and the writing are just so exceptional and unique. Well done. Thanks for this list.

Made in abyss season 2 is really one of those pieces of fiction that makes you feel emotions you can't express with words and at the end of the journey you can't really express what you felt about it. One is only grateful for watching such an incredible story

I don't know what it is about Gigguk's videos, watching him describe my favourite shows so perfectly and eloquently, I just can't seem to hold back my tears.

Seeing Made in Abyss, a show that I started with the Manga, going to watch season 1, and after giving up on a season 2, actually getting it, and having all the emotions and immersion of it even after reading the manga beforehand, I still felt like it was the first time seeing it. Truly a masterpiece that deserves the first place. Well done Gigguk

Made in Abyss is truly a masterpiece and the fact that even after all it's horrors it still comes out without you feeling any hate towards any of its characters in season 2 is truly remarkable. I still feel for vieko and faputa. And vieko is one of my fav character in all anime.

My only problem with this videos and with gigguk being an absolutely unparallelled hype machine is that they make me realize how much I'm missing out and how little time I have to watch all this stuff.

"None of it was because of some simple violence or gore but ideas and imagery that disturbed me to my core" -Gigguk with some bars

Made in abyss season two was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

Thank you Garnt. This was amazing, though I'm still amazed how you can make a show I though was as simple and straightforward as can be so heartfelt and touching. Now I'm conflicted on what anime to watch next but honestly, I love seeing other people's opinions on seasonal anime so when Joey had stopped doing his seasonal checkup, I've always found myself coming back to your videos. Love these so much, love you and your content sm.

Gigguk's ability to take you on a journey of emotions by music and editing choices alone is absolutely insane. Went from laughing uncontrollably, to being near tears remembering certain events from certain episodes, all crafted by the experience mostly found in the music and scenes chosen.

Thiis was probably one of the best "Best of" lists I've seen. It's a testament not only to the caliber of recent anime we've gotten, but to Garnt's insight on what makes them great too.

he removed the video for winter 2023 because the audio was desynced, be patient

Made in Abyss was so emotionally devastating that I fought back tears after just listening to that piano melody.

27:30 gave me goosebumps. dude anime is not complete without music, and this is why its my favorite form of media

Yes! Made In Abyss getting the recognition it deserves!! That show has always been in my Top 10 for the longest time and still is! One of the few animes to make me shed a tear as a young teen who was so invested in season 1's characters and seeing them again was incredible. I was hoping to see more white whistles but still anoter great season! Our boy Kevin Penkin killing it again with the illegible soundtrack lyrics that's somehow another banger!

Bruh was hyped for the New video just for it to be removed

Your bit on Mob Psycho brought tears to my eyes. I felt the same way about that masterpiece of a show!

Made in Abyss trully managed to encapsulate the feel of the Abyss, even to the viewer that is confortably seeing it from safety. The whole story until now has been repeating this idea that the abyss is not just a place of nightmares, but also dreams. It may be a horrifying place, but only in its darkness can you reveal the brightness it holds. This is the reason why our main characters never give up despite everything, and the reason we still watch hoping for them to succeed, despite knowing full well that their journey is doomed from the start.

Made in Abyss deserved it’s placement. Absolutely spectacular show that left you feeling stuff you forgot you could feel consistently while staying coherent

Got the damn shivers and almost tears when both the Cyberpunk songs came on, and the Made in Abyss one did. After watching both series, those are some serious emotional triggers now, and that's how you can tell they're incredible works. Great job on the list, Gigguk, these are all bangers and the memes are still top-notch!

God bless made in abyss back on the top of the list. It got shafted so hard on anime awards, Misaki Kuno is the VA OF 2022

My respect to Gigguk for NOT taking the easy way out and making a tomato paste joke during the Gundam segment.

I'm just happy garnt actually recognized mob psycho for once and didn't gloss over it with a single sentence praising it i never thought the day would come 😭😭😭😭

It's nice to see someone Express the same level of feels towards made in abyss. So excited to see the mystery that will be the next season.

Amazing video! Made in Abyss S2 was an incredible experience. Still breaks and warms my heart when i think about it.

I don't understand how Gigguk is this good at describing anime, there is only one word to describe his talent... wow

For this being my first year getting into anime, it was fantastic! Spy x Family, Blue Lock, AoT, Bocchi, Kaguya, Aoashi and Mob Psycho 100 were all a treat. Here’s to 2023!

Dang only 2hrs and they remove his newest video

I'm so glad he put made in abyss at number 1. I haven't heard nearly enough talk about it. As someone who wasn't too impressed by season 1, season 2 was something truly special

Props to Garnt for still watching and reviewing anime after all these years 👏

gigguk always knows how to describe anime and the emotions that come with it. So glad he's an anime fan 🤧

25:41 The second the music started playing I knew what was coming. That's how you know a phenomenal soundtrack.

Man your videos always make me cry. Even though i have been watching anime for the past 10 years the videos remind me how beautiful they really are. Your writing is everything i feel about anime and want to tell them to someone but none of my friends really understand how beautiful anime really are.

That intro to #1 was soul crushing right off the bat. You managed to fully encapsulate this season of Made in Abyss . Likening it to Requiem for a Dream is exceptional. It's a classic in the best most masterful way.

Gigguk this was your best work. Your writing, timing, humor were absolutely firing on all cylinders. Masterful!

As a huge Made in the Abyss fan I’m glad to see it get the love it deserves! In a anime community now with so many high budget productions and new shows, Made in the Abyss is like a quite master piece, in world full of noise. An only those willing to listen can truly feel it’s impact on the soul *sheds single tear*

This list is perfect to me. Love MiA definitely one of the best tv experience ever. Thank you Gigguk for the all the recommendations through out the years. Your videos never ceased to entertain me. Your energy and passion got me into anime and kept me watching all these years. Kuddo man!

I didn't cry. You cried. Garnt has a unique ability to summarize a show in a way that's both funny and deeply authentic. I can't imagine the amount of time you put into this video, and I thank you for that. I can't wait for next year's list. Truly GOATed.

"The more popular a show is, the cooler you get for calling it mid" now THAT is the best anime FACT of 2022, so many people like that LMFAOOOO

Just finished made is the abyss it was goated

I'm so happy made in abyss is finally getting the recognition it deserves TT

Made in Abyss has been an amazing journey. The manga is incredible with its beautiful, gritty frames. The anime is spectacular and moving with some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. I'm constantly astounded that the voice acting keeps up and does it justice. It absolutely deserves its place and yet I'm blown away to see it so highly rated. I'm one of those people who never watches shows or movies more than once, no matter how much I like them. Even over a decade later I failed to fully watch back through Cowboy Bebop, one of my all time favorites. Yet I've watched Made in Abyss season 1 three separate times with different friends and season 2 I re-watched the first half so I could finish it with friends. Not a single episode the whole way had me pulling out my phone or feeling bored. I've put the OST from season 1 on in the background enough times it's almost in Final Fantasy territory. I still flip every time I'm watching a video and I hear someone put Made in Abyss in the background of even completely unrelated content. I just cannot sing the praises of the show enough. Here's hoping the slow manga progress and premature Season 3 announcement don't herald a drop in quality.

Honestly, this season of Kaguya is legit one of the best anime I have watched. If you haven't watched it, do it.

Man, i watched a few episodes of Made in the Abyss when it first came out. I need to revisit, you nearly had me in tears with just the pure emotion of the clips. I'm off to stock up on tissues. Thank you for revitalising my joy in anime Gigguk. Keep up the amazing work.

Only the real ones know he removed the winter 2022 video after 2 hours

24:17 this song has actually made a psychological connection to crying so I now always tear up hearing this song

My whole time watching this list I was like "where's Made in Abyss?" I lost hope because NOBODY seems to rate it highly, especially since it wasn't on C-roll. Then it came out in the #1 on the list and I'm like FUCK YEAH!!!! LET'S GO BOY!!!!!! Can't wait for the manga to start going at ch 64 again.

Having watched only season one of Made in Abyss (an unforgettably intense and bizarrely wonderful experience), I closed my eyes and only listened to Gigguk's description for the second season. His description, as well as the overlay of an emotional Kevin Penkin tune that I'd never heard before, compelled me to tears because they elicited all of those emotions that I felt years ago when I saw the original season. The despair, the hope, the trauma, the love, and the delicate dance that intertwines those themes came through in this video, even with my eyes closed. I now know what I'm watching tonight. I need to stretch my emotional legs and hop onto the Made in Abyss feels-train once again. I know that it'll hurt, but that's what makes Abyss so special. Thanks, Garnt.

10:15 I AUDIBLY GASPED! 😭

Call of the night was a personal favorite since it spoke to my insomniac impulsive self from high school. Regularly skipping class to sleep off my midnight walks for four years straight. Walking through dangerous neighborhoods and doing dangerous things thinking to myself "what was the worst that could happen?".

OMG you're have the best narration skills ever, thank you for this masterpiece~

After watching this, then watching Alain's vlog for the behind the scenes of this video and then watching this again I can totally agree that getting that Gundam for research is truly needed

The sheer emotions of MiA were so heart crushing. Like I was watching the worst moments of someone's life play out in actuality. It was painful but left an important feeling I want to never forget.

Amazing video! No one does as good as a job as Garnt when it comes to his writing combined with the editing. It feels like a movie. Gotta say blue lock and mob psycho is my favourite from last year but I’m gonna give summertime rendering and made in abyss a shot thanks to this video. Top quality video as always!

I just have to comment because of the last part or just the entire video in general. How you described Made In Abyss or other Anime like Summer Time Rendering, and even other previous Anime from similar videos like Mushoku Tensei genuinely got me invested, intrigued and mesmerized. There has always been an effect on me whenever someone describes a piece of media they love and expressing the power of that show, that music, etc. It's something I praise when I see people like you do it because it manages to capture an audience and let them know, even for a second, your love, your feelings on this show. It hypes me up, it makes me excited, it scares me, it makes me cry, and it makes me shut up and truly take something like a simple raw explanation of a show with the utmost seriousness. These explanations of these Anime, even if I've never seen them make me feel so much happiness, that's the beauty of Anime videos, video essays for me. It can be fun and exciting but truly beautiful with the most genuine and sincere expression translated to words to convey the feeling the piece of media you watched gave you, with the right editing, etc. It's what makes me want to express myself out there as I have a pretty uneventful, nothing life I don't like and want to escape through Anime. It's one of the things right now that makes me so god damn happy and sad, and just so many other different emotions. Please make more stuff like this it's genuinely amazing and I love it.

made in abyss is the most beautiful anime ive ever seen in my life. Amazing piece of work.

MASSIVE props for putting Made in Abyss where it belongs

Summer Time Rendering was SO underrated. The music, the plot, the animation, everything was such a surprise to me! Everyone go watch it!🥰

Thanks for pointing me towards some awesome anime I might not have watched otherwise. Bloody fantastic anime reviews and editing!

Mob psycho 100 is a real masterpiece with great story plot, top tier animations, and most importantly, the best character development I ever had. It has accompanied me from my secondary school life till university. All the tears I shed and all the great memories I had with this show. Thank you so much for inspiring me to improve myself and be a better person. I would really recommend everyone to check it out. Top-tier show I guarantee!

Oh my god I almost cried when the beat dropped for your Made In Abyss review. Now I definitely need to watch the show 😭😭😭

Made In Abyss truly is a warm darkness. Its despairing and cold, but also incredibly warm and bright at times. Its just such a brilliant and masterful piece of fiction that is just impossible to pin-point down. Though if I tried, I feel the only word that summarizes it would be...breathtaking.

Gundam witch from Mercury was phenomenal and epic new entry in the Gundam universe

Gigguk never disappoints. Even if I watched most of these, I always enjoy hearing his spoiler free takes

Excellent editing and FANTASTIC Number 1 choice. Made In Abyss did not get the recognition it deserved this year.

MASSIVE props for putting Made in Abyss number 1, never saw an anime like that, EVER !

Seeing my 2 favorite anime of the year rank in the top 4 makes me feel so proud. And I just caught up with made in abyss before watching this video, and now I realize it's ranked #1. Good stuff

Garnt why did you just remove the new video 😂😂 hope you put it back again

Made in Abyss season 2 felt like discovering anime all over again. I was in complete awe every episode and the storytelling was peak, not to mention the incredible music that really transports you into this new world. It doesn't matter how many years it takes to finish this story, I'll be there waiting.
