Anime and Manga Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (January 7, 2022)

Another year has ended and a new year has begun. Not surprisingly, this week’s list includes posts looking back at the Fall 2021 season, 2021 in anime, and posts about new shows just starting up in the Winter 2022 season. There’s even posts looking back at older anime titles, as well as manga posts. There’s quite the smorgasbord of links this week, and I hope you enjoy them.

Here are the anime and manga blog posts that grabbed my attention this week:
