So, 2025 is nearing its end, with only just over two months to go.
What have you enjoyed the most this year in terms of media? Could be video games, music, anime, shows, movies, books, anything really. And is there something you're looking forward to most of all that's coming out in the last bit of the year?
For me:

For me:
- Movies: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 looks incredible, much better than the first. I also took my girlfriend on a date to Weapons on a whim and we both enjoyed it a lot. Lastly, I think Nosferatu came out last year on the tail end, but I saw it this year in theatres and thought it was an incredible remake of the original silent film.
- Vidya: It's hard to pick what my favourite game this year is. There's been so much incredible stuff, literally been the best year for gaming that I can recall. But notable examples include Expedition 33, Monster Hunter Wilds, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (literally the biggest comeback in a video game series ever, in my opinion), Animal Crossing GCN Deluxe/City Folk Deluxe (I know they're mods, but they are both amazing), Mario Kart World, Fantasy Life i, and the Oblivion remake/remaster/whatever. And now games I'm looking forward to are Sonic Racing CrossWorlds (it's already out technically but I haven't tried it yet), Black Ops 7 (I am a sucker for Call of Duty, I'm a bit of a normalfag when it comes to that kind of thing), and Plants vs Zombies: Replanted. I'm also looking forward to Ghostface being added to Fortnite this Halloween (apparently he's coming, according to my girlfriend? Not sure if that's true but I hope it is). Speaking of Fortnite, the Gorillaz Music Pass was such a good idea. I love playing as Noodle.
- Books: Not much interesting has come out this year and since I'm a massive classics guy, nothing usually interests me. However, RuneScape's new novel came out this year and I've only just started it. I really enjoyed the one before it, The Gift of Guthix. There's also been new Nagatoro volumes come out, and the last Nagatoro volume ever comes out in November here, so I'm REALLY looking forward to getting it physically as I have for every other volume of the series.
- Music: I usually listen to music from my adolescent years, but I did like Sabrina Carpenter's new album, and Cafune's new album is the best one they've released yet.
- Shows/Anime: Squid Game 3 came out this year, didn't it? Well, I'm looking forward to watching it at some point. I'm only up to season 2, though. Nothing interested me in terms of anime this year.
