Is there any passion besides Anime/Manga that you were utterly obsessed with this year?

I've spent maybe the last 6 years consuming every kind of good music album I could find.

I must have listened to a 1000 albums over the past 6 years and was subsequently introduced to some of my favorites artists of all time! Well, now that I think about it, a lot them were sorta forgettable as time changed, but it was still worth it! This time though, I made sure span my horizons to hear all kinds of music regardless of era or any supposed negative connotations there are, like with Country and Classical. I plan on listening to old school 1940-60s blues next. What have you been up to do?

Yugioh TCG, and music too I suppose. I always have some sort of music playing if I'm not on YouTube or watching anime.

I got REALLY into Felix the cat for whatever reason. I liked him before but I just remember binging the twisted tales series a few months ago and loving it. Felix is one of my favorite characters he’s so goofy and reminds me of myself. I have a little bag of the guy, a plush, a necklace, a shirt, so you could say I’m a fan of him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also got really into the treasure island franchise (if you can call it that). It was the anime that got me into it though and that’s been my biggest hyperfixation for the past few months, but I also loved the book, and I really wanna watch the Russian version, dr. Livesey sold me on it

Video games, cooking and drawing are probably my other biggest hobbies aside from anime. Good stress relievers too!

@RetroCagliostro Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat is wonderful, at least the episodes I've seen. I had a DVD as a kid of several season 1 episodes, I've heard that the second season isn't as good, but would want to watch it first before saying anything on it. It's a shame that it had such production problems, it's easily one of the best American TV cartoons. Since you enjoyed it so much I'd recommend watching Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures too. It's a similar revival of an old character and had a lot of future important people in animation working on it. I would suggest Robert Crumb's work as well, since Twisted Tales was significantly influenced by it, but it's VERY adult and X-rated, so be aware of that.

I got a little obsessed with batman this year, replayed all the arkham games, watched the 90s cartoon and those movies, but it all ran out in a couple months.

It was all wasted time except for the joker stuff. Man I love the joker.

I guess travelling and riding on steam locomotives. I mean it's something I've mostly always done, but I can't easily get to some in my country as I don't drive and I'm a little scared about traveling too far. My eldest sister has been taking me on breaks mainly so I can ride on some which is awesome of her. This year already she took me to Preston, Southampton and the Isle of Wight mainly for train stuff, and later on this month we are going to visit Swansea in Wales for another train break.

I found myself completely absorb with pastry making, not just as a hobby but at a professional level... also I've been trying to go to the cinema more often, after covid I kinda stop watching films, but this year I rediscovered the thrill of watching movies on the big screen

Is that a light in your volume knob? I refurbished a sony av1010 recently and laid a RGB slow flash led in the volume knob, and made it a new, bigger light pipe. It's so damn 80s looking now.

Your PCBs look real dusty btw.

I read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, every sequel by the original author, all his crossovers, his silent movies, and a couple obscure fanfictions by living authors. I'd have even watched The Tik-Tok Man of Oz, if only it were still being performed.

I have been reading a lot more fiction of late. The Suneater, series has got me sucked in. Beyond that, just sketching really. I also have been paying more attention to the NFL this year, and just American football in general. I think I am doing that to cope with my hockey sorrow. It's easier to watch sports, when you aren't super invested in any team.

Been getting big into the Yakuza series over the past year and have sunk way too many hours into these games. Yakuza 5 is now the 2nd most played game in my steam account due to how stuffed it is with activities to do, please send help

Gardening, specifically weed. I grow it and vape it in specialized equipment. Growing it takes quite a bit of work. Right now I'm growing amnesia haze and blue dream. I've gotten good enough where the quality outpaces the high quality stuff in the dispensary. I also grow other stuff too so my apartment is like a botanical garden.

Not this year.. Normally I am obsessed with sports but
Boston Celtics are going to be tanking
Manchester united and scuderia Ferrari have been tanking for decades. So nothing there.
