Hope it helps. I think i covered the major ones.

Kaguyasama Love is War Ultra Romantic is my personal favorite but also was really amazed by
Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 and
Aoashi

including sequels:
Kingdom 4th Season

Not including Sequels:
Summer Time Render

Honourable mentions (either close or showing promise from fall 2022):
Lycoris Recoil
Chainsaw Man
Bocchi the Rock

Sequels honourable mentions:
Mob Psycho 100 III
Shingeki no Kyojin The Final Season Part 2
Kaguyasama wa Kokurasetai Ultra Romantic

Sequels:

Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2

Non-sequels:

CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS

Lycoris Recoil and Love is War S3 are also up there.

mfw no one mentioned MIA yet
Made in Abyss Retsujitsu no Ougonkyou

One of these three:
anilist.co/anime/131681
anilist.co/anime/125367
anilist.co/anime/114745

I only consider an anime an AOTY candidate if it started this year. so my choices are either
SPYFAMILY
Chainsaw Man
in any case my favorite sequel from this year was aot, and i think sxf and csm are better than aot 4p2. definitely not kaguya love is mid

It's a bit difficult, i doesn't watch a lot of anime this year and the one i like the most is Spy X Family, but i watch 2 ep then i continued with the manga.

Currently, i think G-Witch it's a good surprise.

And the flop is bastard!!

bleach probably is going to be the one

BIRDIE WING Golf Girls Story

Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's mine for sure
Lycoris Recoil

As a standalone series
Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Sequel
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Stone Ocean Part 2
Something that forced me to start the manga
Tomodachi Game

Yofukashi no Uta

Gotta be edgerunners

honestly none of them deserve it

• 2021 introduced the Horimiya anime, reminding us how a vanilla romcom should actually look like
• 2022 introduced the Akebi-chan anime, reminding us how a vanilla school slice of like should actually look like

No cringe misunderstanding based crap, no forced drama, no beta cuck main characters.

From a reviewer point of view, I would say Akebi, Lycoris being a distant second honorable mention.

But to be honest, compared to 2018,2019,2020 and 2021, 22 is so freaking weak it's not even funny.

AAA budget shounen & slasher shounen trash is the best thing we got this year according to the community. I think this fact paints the picture pretty damn well.

Honestly, there's just simply too much content this year, so it's hard to kinda choose, but here's some I really enjoyed (excluding sequels).

Sasaki and Miyano
Ya Boy Kongming
Summer Time Rendering
Aoashi
The Yakuzas Guide to Babysitting
CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS

Haven't included Fall things for now.
Am I too mainstream? Maybe, but eh...

Chainsaw Man
and
Tomodachi Game

Rilakkumas Theme Park Adventure

love Rilakkuma
