Happy New Year!
It's 2012 everywhere, so yay first year post!
Let's see, I could make the regular fandom meme for the year, but instead of that because no gaming in that thing, I'm going to do a manual year in review.
I didn't watch too much anime, which is odd because my LJfriends are so into series from this year and the past one? I wouldn't say I'm getting old, just that I want happier shit that's not too long or annoying, and there's this trend of make angst and cliffhangers of suffering right now.
But eh, it's okay. There are still seasons of cute or silly anime that I always forget to watch (Natsume Yuujinchou's third and manga, Arakawa Under the Bridge's second, Sengoku Basara's second). Maybe this year?
Anyway! My favorite manga has been Kuragehime (now that the anime is over and stuff) although it's been a little slow recently. I still read my Historical Bullshit Seinen Duo (Historie and Vinland Saga) which are getting interesting again, but you have to wait a lot and I usually forget they exist.
To be completely honest, the new anime that I enjoyed the most this year? Level E.
I'm serious. I'm not trolling. Only anime I didn't drop in annoyance, only anime I watched whole that I checked episodes as soon as they were out because I did want more. I can't say the same about the trendy series I still watched out of habit. It doesn't even have a plot beyond "trolls gonna troll", but considering how plots annoyed me this year... maybe it's because of that or something.
I've tried other crackier anime like Nichijou (didn't like it), Yondemasu yo Azazel-san (didn't hook me), and Sket Dance (only watched one episode yet). But none were the same.
But yeah, let's go back to srs anime with srs plot. Time for unpopular opinions!
I... dropped Tiger and Bunny some episodes before the end of season, and I'm not sure I'm returning. I liked the characters and the premise, but I thought the plot was a fucking yo-yo, it couldn't decide the priorities of the subplots/antagonists straight, and the two main characters were looking several kinds of stupid thanks to the writers. It was unfortunate because I adored Kotetsu, but they made me dislike him a bit, and I couldn't make up my mind about Barnaby since he and his development kept changing back and forth. Watching something that I didn't enjoy with protagonists I no longer liked seemed tiresome at the time. I have read spoilers to know what happened, and meh. Can't I have a spinoff with the heroes that aren't in the title?
(Incidentally, I still say that Sky High is the AU reincarnation of Tamaki Suoh)
I don't know what to say about Mawaru Penguindrum without incurring people going tl;dr agreeing/disagreeing with me (I did read your chapter-long explanation with four editions, Kim, I just had no idea what to reply to that), or a lot of "you didn't get it!" (which, granted, I admit I didn't). I watched it whole because I wanted Ikuhara to troll me symbolically. And penguins. But in the end, I thought it was kind of a mess, I felt more confused than mindfucked, and I can't think of one character I ever got attached (in the beginning it was Shouma for being the most normal, and I wanted to see more of Momoka, but wasn't enough). Moreover, I never liked Kanba. Maybe I'm an anomaly for coming out of this one feeling entirely empty beyond "I want a penguin!" and "LOLTERRORISM"? Then again, I also didn't get attached to anyone in Utena when I watched last year, but that one was lots more entertaining and I did enjoy its madness for some reason.
I also came out almost empty out of Madoka last year except for lulz and memes, incidentally. In case you wanted more reasons to defriend me! :D
Ah! There's also P4A, but I'll touch that one under games.
I have a like a gazillion shows to finish watching. But the ones I watch as soon as they came out were Doctor Who, My Little Pony, and Adventure Time.
About Who, it's no secret I like Moffat's approach more than Rusty's. I'm in the ride for Eleven. But this season was strange. Some episodes were amazing, some were head-scratching, some were great until I rewatched them, some were awful until I rewatched them. So, it's weird and I don't know what to thing about all the season overall. I still think River is cool, but I miss the older days when she had more agency and individually. And as much as I like the Ponds (Rory grew on me so much this year), I want their arc to be over for good and get new companions by next season. I still have to watch the Christmas Special.
Ponies are crack cocaine in pastel colors. I started watching it because seriously, breaking 4chan and making nerd men get into it? Hilarious. My inner child devours it, and I'm jealous that the MLP ponies when I was little didn't have a more remarkable personality like these six girls. Also, the fanart for this fandom is so high quality, what the hell. My favorite is Rarity, for the record.
Adventure Time is just fun and games until someone gets-- wait, it's still fun and games even when it gets dark and sad. I don't know, it's the best discovery I made this year. It's genuinely funny and by all the crap under the radar, it's not only for children either. This show has a lot of heart and charisma and pure craziness and little details with its fans (not as many as MLP, but those are kinda weird and these aren't). It reminds me of the amazing episodic 90's cartoons, but with even more thought put into it.
Also, in both series, catchy songs are waaaaay to catchy. EARWORM NIGHTMARE.
I also finished Sym-bionic Titan. Whyyyyy were you canceled, whyyyyyy ;A; This show was very high quality. I liked it even more than Samurai Jack, the other plot-y cartoon from Genndy. The three main characters are so damn cute. Ilana is one of the kind of princesses I love in my fandoms (noble, strong-willed, feminine but still badass), and I like how in our world no one looks at her twice because she's a complete sappy dork. I wanted more episodes centered just in her, because Lance got way too many. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy those! I thought I wouldn't like Lance because he looked like this angsty douchy rebelious bishounen, and in the end he's not that, he's such an amazing, well done character! So yeah, he won me over too. And Octus is the most adorable thing ever and he's the glue that keeps them together.
I also started the new Thundercats, but I haven't watched half the season. DON'T YOU DARE CANCEL IT, CN. It's also very high quality, and I recommend it because it has a lot of heart and coolness. Just shut your mind about the original if you remember it, and you're in for a great ride.
And also, all the Legend of Korra trailers and leaked art! OMG, I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.
Ahem, back to real action shows. My family wanted to watch something together like we did with The Tudors on 2010. So we went for Game of Thrones. I was kinda indifferent to the first book when I read it, which is why I haven't continued the series. Still, I joined them and watched it with them, not spoiling anything (I didn't remember half of it anyway). It was fun to watch it together, if only because their Tyrion was perfect and we were all amused by his bullshit. My brother Alejandro got hooked to the books, by the way.
The other series we watched was American Horror Story. That was... man, that was weird. It's like this pastiche of horror movie clichés, and there's a lot of killing and some rape going on, but we were still hooked for some reason. Admittedly, it's more fun to have someone to point out stuff and theorize who will be/become a ghost next.
I'm not as huge fan of comics as some of my friends, but I still read more than last year.
So DC reboot sucks balls. Before it, I was just reading Booster Gold, and they killed that one series into existence. I'm still mourning that Ted Kord and Rip Hunter don't exist anymore (does Michelle still exist in this verse? we heard Skeeter does, at least). And we never got to see who was Rip's mom! Boo! I also miss the old Booster and his funny lines. Speaking of which, the new Blue Beetle series is just not the same although Jaime didn't change much (oh, but the circumstances! and the support characters!) I also read Power Girl after the reboot, and now I'm pissed because I love that lady and I wanted more of her awesome.
So I ran back to Marvel, except I decided not to touch Children's Crusade until it was over. And my friends spoiled me about something and you know, I'm not fucking reading it. Uuuuuugh, I knew it was going to end bad for someone, I have no faith in Marvel and teenage heroes mixing well. But let's skip that. I picked up Thor again, with being fashionable these days with the movie and all. I had stopped around Siege. And of course, they immediately throw an Asgardian-centric crossover event at me! Ewwwwww. But you know what, this mess gave Kid!Loki his own series (more like he hijacked the old Journey into Mystery). And that one is fucking awesome and I love it to pieces and I love him to pieces. You know me, I'm all over Baby Tricksters.
Ah, and in the non-American front I found scanlations of 8 volumes of Valhalla. They were nice! Except for the second volume, which was too uncomfortable to read because all male characters were sexist assholes, and maybe ruined a little one of my favorite Norse myths. Plus, they made a Marvel!Thor reference by giving the Warriors Three a cameo (sort of), and that was a great nerd moment. (Y no u exist in real myths, Volstagg?)
Also, I discovered there's a comic adaptation of The Last Unicorn, and it's one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen.
This year was an excellent year... for handheld consoles and me. NDS/3DS/Kiri love triangle! With some one night stands with the PSP! Shock!
→ The year started by playing the first ending of 999 on an emulator. I got lazy to do the rest. Gorey and messed up in a Japanese "and then there were none" way, but really intriguing.
→ Then I bought Ghost Trick. FAVORITE GAME OF THE YEAR, HANDS DOWN. It's witty, funny, sad, full of heart. You can tell it's Takuma at his finest. The puzzles are great -except for the Metal Gear Solid level in jail, which I hated. The music is nice and catchy. The characters are so fucking good and lovable. PUPPIES AND KITTIES, ENOUGH SAID. You even feel bad for Yomiel (can't say who that is without spoiling) and start liking him all of a sudden. I love that the ending is bittersweet yet dramaless. GHOSTS AND TIMEY WIMEY.
→ Then Pokémon Black happened and I was obsessed with it for half a year! Tied with SoulSilver as my favorite of the franchise, and probably the only one I managed to finish (okay, I still have to catch legendaries, whatever)
→ Oh, Okamiden. Geez. I really gave it a chance because I thought I was being pessimistic. I liked 2/3 of the game, as a matter of fact. Gameplay was fun, and the butchery was not that horrible by then. I liked the expanded myth references on Momotarou and Benkei. Didn't care much for Chibiterasu, even less for Kuni, but Kagura and Kurow both stole my heart and Nanami was really cute. I was even trying to figure out a way to add the Moon Tribe stuff and characters to my headcanon. Then the last part happened! Everything was terrible and everything hurts. Ugh, I just get angry thinking about it.
→ I bought Last Window and Birth by Sleep in a sales bin, but I forgot to finish them. Oops. I'll be on it.
→ Then I got the 3DS, Zelda special edition, with Ocarina of Time 3D. I finished the regular replay, now I have to try Master Quest. I'm also almost done with Four Swords. My brother bought Skyward Sword but I haven't had the time to play yet (and I'm lazy to go to the room with the Wii). I thought I could kidnap the Wii when he got Skyrim, but then my other brother went ahead of me and set it in his room. Fuck. Either way, great anniversary year for Zelda ♥
→ Also got Tales of the Abyss 3D. FINALLY OWN IT LEGALLY, HAHA!
Worth mentioning Persona 4 becoming ATLUS' new cash cow. We have the anime going on, which I still watch despite of the main character fail because Teddie's sparkles. We have the remake for Vita. We have the fighting spinoff game that I'll probably won't try anyway. We have the remix CD which is amazing. And a lot of merchandising in Japan, too. Not sure if excited or scared that P4 is the new P3 (...oh, wait)
Crap, I forgot to talk about books. Since I have an ereader, I thought I'd... read more, you know.
Let's see. I was in a Norse myth butchery frenzy this year, in case the comics part didn't give you a hint. I read "Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman, and despite being a short story for children, I think it's his best attempt at mythology he's ever done. There was "Runemarks" by Joanne Harris, which started slow but then shit got real and I was devouring it, and it was an amazing and fun read with a girl protagonist with no love interest (so far) to boot. I have to pick up the sequel, by the way. I also read "Eight Days of Luke" by Diana Wynne Jones (RIP), also a fun read although less intense than the previous one. I still have to read "The Sea of Trolls" series by Nancy Farmer.
In the Greek-Roman front, new Heroes of Olympus book! "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan was great. Good to have Percy Jackson back, and I didn't even have to miss Leo Valdez from the previous book. Looking forward for the two books coming out this year (Mark of Athena and a demigod files equivalent for HoO). Thank you for the badassery and author trolling, Riordan.
Also, shit ton of mythology textbooks are in my to-read list. Plus one about youkai/ayakashi that's really neat.
This is also the year I tried to read more of "The Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher, but I find I have to be on a certain mood to read one of those. It sucks because they're good, but they have a weird effect on me.
I have almost all "Suzumiya Haruhi" novels in Spanish, but I haven't touched them yet. I also should buy the "Moribito" novels that came out here but I haven't gone to a bookstore yet. Not a lot of Japanese light novels get translated in here...
That was long! But considering I barely posted this year, I had a lot of feelings.

I once read someone (I forgot who, I guess it was in a comm) saying that this makes sense because we're seeing her character development backwards. I don't know if it's on purpose but I'm sticking to that explanation. :P
