seichanHm, was going to go through my journal to see what was memorable, but sounded like way too many posts to sift through, so decided to go by my swiss-cheese memory instead.
Memorable anime: Natsume Yuujinchou and Code Geass (Soul Eater and Gundam 00, too, but they are still airing, so they don't really count). I suppose I watched a few dozen other shows...eh, gotta cut down on that habit.
Memorable manga: Um...I'm positive I read a ton of manga...ah ha, I read all the available manga from Yuki Midorikawa (Natsume Yuujinchou). Her works range from sweet to bittersweet. And I remember hunting for Hokuto Yamagishi works (she only has like 3 things out there that I know of, and I suspect she also works under another pen name). Her artwork reminds me of early 1900's fairytale illustrations...but with more boy-love of course.
Oh! and Naruto went shopping for makeup while his hometown got blown up. I'm sure the cosplayers will be all over that orange eyeshadow. I enjoyed the whole training a la frog story arc of the Naruto manga. And Yotsuba&! is another manga that never fails to humor me.
Memorable asian dramas: Ashita no Kita Yoshio was the only unexpectedly well-written one. I think I watched alot of kdramas, but none of them scream 'rewatch-me'.
Books & music?...hm, save that for another post.
Hm...I'm sure there are some gaping holes in the past year...oh well.
