Favourites List of 2007
Since it's the beginning of the year, I decided to list my favourite things (movie, video game, anime, etc) from 2007.
Keep in mind that a lot of these things were released before 2007 and are simply of things I started reading/watching/playing this past year. And since it's not fair to count things I only got at Christmas (and thus only had a week of playtime before the end of the year), I'm going from Christmas 2006 to Christmas 2007.
Favourite Manga: (tie) D.Gray-man and Katekyo Hitman Reborn - okay this was the toughest category. I almost went with something by Kaori Yuki because I do love her but when it came right down to it, I'm simply too much of a shounen fan and my choices came down to Reborn and D.Gray-man. And it was really close as I went back and forth a few times so in the end I decided the only thing I could do (unless I wanted to spend the entire night going over the pros and cons of both) was to declare a tie.
Favourite Anime: Gundam SEED - I admit, this is kinda a cheat since I saw a few episodes of the dub a few years ago, but I never actually saw the entire thing until this year and I only saw something like six episodes before. I think I'm one of the few fans around who actually likes SEED since I know plenty of people hate it but I don't care what other people think (to be fair though I never did get around to watching Gundam SEED Destiny, which is suppose to be the real hate of the series).
Favourite Video Game: Kingdom Hearts II - one of my favourite games ever. Despite being a lifelong fan of both Disney and Final Fantasy, I was originally hesitant in playing this game (mainly because Disney had broke my heart so much in recent years). Boy I was dumb in waiting. It's the game that got me interested in gaming again after so many years of only mildly caring about games for series I already knew (Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Xenosaga, etc). If only the KH fandom wasn't so damn wanky.
Favourite Computer Game: World of Warcraft - ah, WoW... probably my easiest pick. Such a lovely addiction, which even now I have to quit every few months to keep that addiction in check. I played similar types of games before but found them boring and annoying. And then I played WoW...
Favourite Book: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - I know a lot of fans hated this book, but I liked it (even the epilogue). Okay, perhaps it's not the best book out there (not even the best of the series) but it's the end of an era. I never thought I'd see such craze over a book and my geeky little self loves that such madness happened over something that is typically considered 'nerdy'.
Favourite Movie: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - not as good as the first one but better than the 2nd. I must admit though I've always had affection for cheesy pirate stories ever since those old Monkey Island games (and yes, I was a fan of the ride long before the first movie came out). Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush together is love and story-wise I really liked what happened to Will, Elizabeth and their relationship (and they were always my least favourite part of the series!).
Favourite TV Show: Doctor Who - hehe, it and Torchwood were really the only two TV shows I was introduced to this year, so it's not like Doctor Who had much competition (although it probably still would have won). Despite originally liking Torchwood better because of Jack Harkness, I started becoming addicted to watching Classic Who these past few months, which is why it wins.

I do love D.Gray Man. Though the most I do fannishly is pop out Allen/Rinali fics sometimes or laugh at the fandom insisting that Kanada is relly well-developed (I like him well enough, but, eh, he's a minor supporting character at best.)

I'm sometimes tempted to watch it since I heard they brought Mu La Flaga back from the dead and since he was one of my favourite characters I'm sorta curious to see how they handle that plotline but then I remember the DESTINY SUCKS! comments.

Mostly I hated what they did with Athrun. AND THANK YOU FOR NEARLY RUINING KIRA/LACUS FOR ME. LAST I CHECKED, IT WASN'T HEALING EPIC OTP, IT WAS IMPLIED CANON.
