My Favorite Things Winter 2022

I'm surprised and of course delighted to have been included. Thank you kindly.

I will say that while the new numbered list version is a fun cause who doesn't like top whatever lists, I will miss the cozy vibes I got from the segment versions. It was like catching up with a friend you haven't talked to in awhile. Like "Hey how's that wrestling stuff you like, anything cool happen with that lately?" and then you'd go off about your favorite wrestling things from last season.

There’s just something about Wolf’s content that makes it feel more sincere and personal than any other YouTuber and I love it so much. Thank you for helping me get through the absolute hell that was 2021.

I’m not a massive wrestling fan, but nothing makes happier than hearing Eyepatch Wolf talk about wrestling

That second OP from Ranking of Kings is one of those "i cri evry tiem" things and I never skip it. The level of animation is astounding. I could just about feel that loving hug Hilling gave Bojji. It looked so tender and genuine that I literally almost cried the first few times I saw it. There's just so much going on in these brief vignettes. The animators did a phenomenal job. I stumbled across that JRPG woman a couple of times. It made me happy to see someone in their later years enjoying the medium even though JRPGs can have some of the most BS shenanigans ever.

Ranking of Kings is one of those shows that make me say: "This is why I watch anime" Same with Odd Taxi

Calling JoJo a turn based cartoon is possible the best description I've ever heard.

I wholeheartedly agree with the second opening of the Ranking of Kings take.

The one-two punch of Wolf rambling about how upsettingly handsome Adam Page is, followed by the blurred-out image of the Space Jam website while he talks about shame is...deeply relatable.

Thank you for putting Bojii in the thumbnail cause damn that show has NOT missed since episode 1.

My heart leapt when you brought up your love for Swamp Thing. Steve Bissette was one of my teachers in art school (he recently retired) and I can tell you that a nicer, more genuine, and more knowledgeable man you'll never meet. He can make friends with anyone because he has a true, sincere interest in people and a deeply charismatic personality and is so generous with his time to fans and young artists. He's also got an enormous well of knowledge about comics and comics history. The man is a walking archive, but he's committed to always learning more, both in his art practice and his life in general, which made him a wonderful teacher. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. He and the other Swamp Thing artists, John Totleben and Rick Veitch, deserve a lot more credit than they get.

Glad to see someone else got hooked up in the Ranking of Kings entirety, the story, the visuals, storytelling, message and the OP. Personally it hasn’t pass a day that I haven’t watch the MV of Hadaka no Yuusha, the visuals and the music just go so well together and just listening to it fills you with determination and willpower. Looking forward to more of this.

I Agree, ranking of kings really deserves all the praise its getting rn

My heart skip a beat like when I climb stairs when I saw this notfication

16:55 Im losing my mind rn 🤯 Anatomy, house of leaves, that one junji ito story where a girl falls in love with a house. I love these. Thanks for reminding me to watch this movie, I haven’t seen it yet

I couldn’t agree more about Belle— and this is coming from somebody that LOVES Mamoru Hosoda: sometimes something can be really messy but the emotions are so genuine that it wins you over!

It warms my heart seeing Eyepatch liking Alan Moore’s run on Swamp Thing. Hope he checks out more western comics in the future.

Favorite things I experienced this year so far were watching The Batman in theaters and catching up on Amphibia before its return in two weeks.

Ranking of kings is truly one of those anime that reminds you why you love anime.

That Lights Out Match with Baker and Thunder Rosa was reminiscent of those extreme rules matches you'd see in ECW back in the day, the bloodiest female wrestling match I've seen, really entertaining too, nice to see that it made the list.
