The Best & the Disappointing Novels, TV Shows, Movies, Anime, Manga, and Video Games of 2021!
650Hi everyone! So here we are, the last video of 2021. The last video of the year is about my year in review. Although my channel is heavily focused on fantasy novels, I actually love TV shows, movies, anime, manga, and video games equally as well. Because I don't talk about my other hobbies enough on this channel or anywhere else, I thought I might as well use this last video of the year as a way for me to highlight a few of the best and the most disappointing stories I've consumed in these medium this year. You can also think of this as a form of my science fiction and fantasy award of the year.
Thank you so much for all of your support this year. It has been a blast, and I hope all of you will have a happy new year! See you again next week in 2022!
