How Found Families Has Become Fall 2022’s Best Theme in Anime
The Fall 2022 anime season is packed with exciting new and returning anime series, ranging from the much-anticipated return of Bleach to the exciting debut of Chainsaw Man and more episodes of the beloved Spy x Family. Anime seasons rarely have an overarching theme or trend to them, but Fall 2022 does — it has found its voice with the "found family" trope.
This heartwarming concept describes two or more people coming together as an unofficial foster family, accepting and supporting one another when no one else will. More than any other anime season, the Fall 2022 one has many inspiring found families, but not all of them are the same. Some are true found families, while others put a subtle or dark twist on the idea to show how deep this concept really is.

The Wholesome Found Families of Fall 2022's Anime Season
Some of Fall 2022's lovable found families are literal ones, with foster children and new parents defining these households in true style. The best and most obvious example is the Forger household of Spy x Family, a hugely popular shonen title that returned in Fall 2022 for a second cour. This found family was built out of convenience for both Loid and Yor, but soon enough, those false feelings became very real. Now, Loid and Yor can feel their priorities shifting as they realize that their foster parental duties to Anya mean more to them than ever before, and in recent manga chapters, Yor wondered if she might give up her assassin career entirely for the sake of her new husband and daughter. Spy x Family may have thrilling action sequences, but the comedy and the familial themes are the real core of this story.
Similarly, the third season of Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! continues the found family trend with protagonist Iruma Suzuki and his foster grandfather, the demon lord Sullivan. The found family trope is the only reason why Iruma is alive at all, as he is a human in a world of man-eating demons, and it's only by Sullivan's good graces as a foster grandfather that Iruma can survive and thrive as a Babyls student. Sullivan has also given Iruma his best weapon, the ring of gluttony, and Sullivan even told Iruma about his possible destiny as the next demon king of the Netherworld. A real parent, biological or not, will protect, inspire and guide their child, and Sullivan has done just that. Now fans can look forward to a third season of that in Fall 2022 with Iruma-kun!.
When the Found Family Trope Is Expressed In Subtle But Profound Ways in Anime
The found family theme can be expressed literally, such as with the Forger household and Sullivan the self-proclaimed grandfather of Iruma Suzuki, but this familial theme is more flexible and diverse than that. If anime fans look closely, they may realize that found families are everywhere in fiction, partially hidden by unusual character dynamics or bizarre plot twists. The Fall 2022 season is like that, featuring several more found families that aren't quite what they appear to be at first glance.
One example is My Master Has No Tail's master/apprentice relationship between the trickster tanuki girl Mameda and her new rakugo coach Bunko. The tsundere Bunko is almost like Mameda's big sister or mother, watching over Mameda and even allowing her to live in her home as per rakugo traditions. Mameda has now realized that everyone at the rakugo theater works together and trusts one another as a sort of found family, brought together by the industry. Mameda still has her father, but in her career, Bunko and the others are her new family, and she's the little sister. Similarly, Management of a Novice Alchemist depicts the teenage orphan Sarasa Feed starting her life over alone in a new town, with her new neighbors and friends, such as Lorea, being her new family. Most of all, Sarasa's previous alchemy mentor, Ophelia, was like a mother to her.
Finally, the Fall 2022 season grimly but humorously put a weird spin on the found family trope in Chainsaw Man. The main characters are all dysfunctional antiheroes and sometimes just plain mean, but the impoverished, desperate protagonist Denji will take whatever he can get. He was a nobody who came from nothing, so even if Power and Aki harass him, they're his new family in the devil-slaying business, and Denji and Power might just develop a wacky brother/sister dynamic where they annoy each other but also have each other's backs when it matters most. Aki is like Denji's rough but protective brother, while Makima is like Denji's comforting and protective yet mysterious new mother. Of course, only time will tell what kind of mother figure Makima will truly be for the wayward Denji.
