Great list @Mandos, especially the shout-outs to Kongming and Total Fantasy Knockout. 2022 was a real strong year for anime.
The performances are also the best they have ever been: the CG animation is indistinguishable from 2D animation at times, while the songs have a greater variety of tones. Kanon herself has a phenomenal voice.
I think Aquors on the whole is zanier than Liella, but I think the Liella girls are more well realized, especially since the first season gets to put its focus on five as opposed to nine of them. My favorite group is still Aquors for their quirkiness, but Liella is a solid second place, and overtakes them in te character development department.I’m thinking about watching Love Live Superstars tonight
