Bubbleblabber’s Best Adult Animated Specials For 2022
The year 2022 saw an exponential growth for “Made for TV Specials”, particularly for streamers. Anime has been kinda doing this for years, what with OVAs, compilation films, and the occasional blockbuster that somehow continue to fly right over the heads of all of the Hollywood studios, but now TV media conglomerates are seeing the low risk/high rewards of going this route, and it’s working. That said, some are doing it better than others. Disney+ largely uses The Simpsons to sell it’s legacy franchises, hence why they aren’t on this list. What ARE on this list, are best adult animated made for TV specials for 2022.

This is how you hook your audience! The tone is perfect for the subject matter and the situation Luz finds herself in. The episode looks and sounds great, and my only major issue, unsurprisingly, involves pacing. What has the potential for 20 half-hour episodes was somewhat streamlined into the runtime of a feature film. And with the last two “special” episodes coming later in 2023, we can expect one hell of a conclusion after that massive cliffhanger.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
