    Favourite Memory of 2016:

    Sitting in #Artnia, the Square-Enix cafe in Tokyo City, listening to the sound of a small fountain as Final Fantasy IX piano music played softly in the background. The sheer peacefulness combined with the fact I was finally in Japan, a place I had dreamed of visiting since my early teens filled me with so much joy it's a wonder I never went sooner. The food there was so well-presented, with lots of neat little touches, like Moogle coasters and chocolate Buster swords. Being surrounded by lots of cute plushies and other merch was a definite plus. My favourite place in the whole world, I would fly over there right now just for a chance to visit. ^_^

    Favourite Music heard in 2016:

    #1 - #Symphonic Fantasies: Music from Square Enix. I'm glad I made the trip to London for this. I've always wanted to go to Distant Worlds, but alas things never worked out. But when I saw the announcement for this show, I jumped at the chance. The music was outstanding and it was my first introduction to live Orchestra. I'm definitely a fan and I do believe I shall be making a point to see more Orchestral performances in the future ^_^

    Runners-up:

    #Colors - By chance, I discovered this song at the same time as I was reunited with a friend I hadn't seen in a long, long time. Over the following months, we rekindled our friendship and we are even closer now than we ever were. Due to the timing of these two events, the two have become inexorably linked and I can't think of one without thinking of the other. For that reason it just brings out so many emotions. Could never tire of this song.

    #Shelter - A similar fluke of timing has linked this song with some rather painful events but the sheer beauty of it pulls me out of the sadness and gives me strength to push on. The accompanying music video is also stunning. Been on repeat for a good couple months now, and I expect that to continue for a long while yet.

    Honourable Mention:

    #Bradio - Found these guys by chance while exploring Youtube and boy am I glad I did. Funky is not a strong enough word to describe these guys. They are truly awesome. It's impossoble for me not to start bobbing away :P Not my usual choice of music, but god damn, it's so good :D

    Favourite Shows watched in 2016:

    #1 - #Rick and Morty. I don't think I've laughed so much at a show in my life. The humour and writing is so tailor-made to my tastes that it would be impossible for me not to like this. I always thought Futurama would be my favourite animated comedy, but I had to reluctantly move it to the number 2 spot. Rick and Morty was just that good :D

    Runners-up:

    #Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - I fell in love with the characters on #Danganronpa, especially those of the second game. So when I was given the chance to return to these characters in the Despair Arc, I was overjoyed. It made me fangirl so hard I think I broke something :P Hilarious, touching and downright heart-breaking at times, I loved every second of it ^_^

    #No Game No Life - I'm a gamer, I like games. No, I LOVE games. All games, be they puzzles, riddles, board games, mind-games, videogames, etc. They are an inseperable part of who I am, so it was no wonder that I connected so heavilly with this show. It's fun, it's exciting and it's not too serious, which is exactly how I would describe almost all of my favourite things in this world. Great show!

    Favourite Movies watched in 2016:

    #1 - #Zatoichi. I know this one will be unlikely to rank high in most people's lists, but it just ticked every box for me. It had style, humour and action. It had a real 80's action-movie feel to it. And those are by far some of my favourite movies. It not only made it into my top 5, but it is only beaten by the absolute undisputed masterpiece that is #Monty Python and the Holy Grail :D

    Runners-up:

    #Seven Samurai - There is a reason this movie is regarded as a classic. Even today it mops the floor with other movies. The cinematogrophy, acting and directing are all on point. I adored this movie :)

    #Big Hero 6 - I never expected to love this as much as I did. It just has such a warm fuzziness to it that I can't help but love it. It makes me smile and cry and think about all the good things in life. It'll take something special to knock this off the top spot in my animated Disney movie list.

    Honourable Mention:

    #your name. - Far and away the best 2D animated movie I have seen. It was breath-taking to watch and had so much charm and personaility. I could have watched it forever. The only word I can think of to describe it was "Beautiful". I used that word a lot in 2016, but I have meant it every single time.

      Editing … Zatoichi is indeed excellent, would be #1 in some years but 2003 was a good year.

    Favourite Games played in 2016:

    #1 - #Rise of the Tomb Raider. I've not finsihed the game yet, but in the time I have put into it, it was easily a 9.5 for me. I loved the 2013 reboot and the sequel took everything that made it great and threw in so, so much more. Plus it helps that after JRPG's, Third-person Action/Adventure games are my favourite genre :P

    Runners-up:

    #Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - A fantastic ride that picks up speed the further into it you go. A great finale for the series and the best of the lot :)

    #Undertale - It's been a while since I played a game that left such a strong impression on me, but that is the strength of jrpg's :) I love everything about this game. The characters, writing and music are all superb, and the battle system has a neat little mini-game element to it.

    Honourable Mention:

    MUSECA arcade game https://remywiki.com/MUSECA_Information - I had a lot of fun with this in Tokyo, and it was the game I kept returning to. I'm not particularly great at rhythm games, but this one was tons of fun ^_^

    It hit me looking at my lists (on paper) that I made some of them right at the beginning of the year, which means that I can clearly see which things I discovered this year, which means I can create favorites of the year lists, which is something I plan on doing from now on. I'm excited, this is a cool idea I stumbled upon on accident.
