Monthly Summary: May 2022

Welcome to another Monthly Summary! It seems like I’m writing these far too often – this month has completely flown by! May saw the continuation on a bunch of games I’ve had ongoing for a while and I also started a few new ones, but I’ve mainly been watching anime over the past few weeks. I feel a bit disappointed that I didn’t manage to finish a few more games and write a couple more posts that I had planned, but unfortunately I don’t have the time to do as much as I used to anymore and I’ve found myself getting far too excited about all the games scheduled for release next month. Before I get too carried away, let’s take a look at May’s results:

Top 10 Anime OP/ED Songs #AniMay 2022

May is all about anime over here at gamergal.exe and my favourite thing about AniMay is creating my yearly OP/ED post! Despite not watching as much anime over the past year as I have done previously, I’ve still managed to find some super new tracks from a bunch of different series, however, when compared to my previous posts for 2020 and 2021, I don’t feel like this line up is quite as strong. Overall, I feel like the quality for anime themes has dropped recently; but that doesn’t mean they’re all bad. Usually, I feature 10 themes per post, and since I struggled to narrow it down this time, we’ve ended up with 11. Please take a listen to my favourite themes from the anime I’ve watched over the past 12 months and let me know your favourites too!

Spring Anime Skirmish 2022: Round 1

May is the month where I dedicate my blog to the world of anime! I’ve done this in various ways over the past few years, but for 2022, I decided to do something I normally wouldn’t do and dive into the spring anime season while it’s still fresh. I’m the type of person who prefers to binge watch shows as my memory is pretty terrible for single episodes, but there were just so many shows that caught my interest this season that I couldn’t wait for them to finish airing. I decided to turn this endeavour into some sort of “anime battle” to find some new favourites, so I spent my long bank holiday weekend watching the introductory episodes of 16 different anime from the spring season.
