Which Anime Demographics Are Represented In Fall 2022?
Most anime are adaptations of manga, and these stories can be split into a handful of demographics: Shonen, seinen, shojo, josei, and kodomo. While far from evenly split, Fall 2022 has a few series that fall into each category.
|
Shonen (Teen Boys) |
Seinen (Young Men) |
Shojo (Teen Girls) |
Kodomo (Kids) |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
Josei (Young Women) |
|||
|
Only anime based on manga are listed, including shows based on light novels that also have manga adaptations. Long-running kodomo series that are not available or known in North America have been excluded.
A few anime's chosen demographics are debatable. For instance, I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss' short-lived manga was published by Comp Ace, a predominantly seinen magazine; however, the story is a better fit for shojo.
When Does The Winter 2023 Anime Season Begin?
The anime industry does not believe in breaks; consequently, once the Fall 2022 season concludes, its successor will commence almost immediately. An array of highly anticipated anime have been announced for Winter 2023, and they are generally set to commence during the first half of January.
Here are a couple of standout Winter 2022 shows, along with their confirmed debut dates:
