Summer 2022 Anime Premieres Release Schedule

As the Spring 2022 anime season comes to a close, the Summer season begins with premieres of sequels and new anime. There are also some continuations from the previous season, such as A Couple of Cuckoos, but this article only contains information about Summer 2022 anime season premieres.

We’ve included tables with times (in hours and minutes) and dates (in the heading) for when the series premieres in Japan. Some of these may not be licensed, so you may not be able to watch them on legal streaming platforms. However, if a series is available on platforms such as Crunchyroll or HiDIVE, it will typically be released within an hour or two of the Japanese broadcast.

Our time zones differ because we are all from different countries. If it’s morning in Japan, it could be night at your location. To establish a baseline, we used UTC+0 (Coordinated Universal Time) as the default time zone for determining when the series would premiere. If you know your country’s UTC difference (which could be UTC+05:00 or UTC-05:00), you can simply add or subtract the hours and minutes from the UTC time shown in the tables below to convert it to your time zone.

With that out of the way, let’s see what anime premieres on which date and at what time this season.

The strangeness of anime titles is part of the appeal, and when you read something like “My Stepmom’s Daughter Is My Ex,” you can’t help but be intrigued. If you haven’t already seen the trailers, you can do so here.

Aside from that, Kinema Citrus is animating the sequel to Made In Abyss, with the original cast returning. It will undoubtedly be a thrilling watch. HIDIVE has licensed the series, and you can support its official release by streaming it on their platform.

We don’t have No Game No Life this season, but we do have the sequel to The Devil is a Part-Timer. The news of a sequel after 9 years was certainly unexpected, and hopefully we’ll have a lot to look forward to. The premiere is only a few days away.

There are at least ten shows that have piqued my interest, but because everyone’s taste in anime is different, I highly recommend that you try as many as you can because you never know what will become your favourite pick of the season.

We hope the information above assists you in planning your anime viewing schedule for this season. We’ll be running weekly Summer 2022 polls to gather fan insights and share them with the community, and we’d love it if you could actively participate this season by voting on our polls website.
