A bit of a crazy year for me. Thank god I had ponies!

Best vid? Not sure, seen way too many of them.

Best toy of 2011 goes to these awesome piece of Bandai Tamashii tech:

SRC Dekaranger Robo and D-Arts Metabee!!

Runner up, DOTM Skyhammer!

Best toku this year... oh man it's hard to tell. I really can't choose between Fourze and Gokaiger! they were both excellent this year.

Best pony: Rarity [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhI6cvwDpQA"]My Little Pony FiM: Best of Rarity Part 1 - YouTube[/ame]

I started reading the Mega Man comic book by Archie Comics this year and I love it! Really fun! I also started Code: Breaker but I haven't bought a new volume in a while. I recently got a ton of Transfomers Spotlight by IDW and they're really excellent stuff.

Best podcast: Sorry HJURadio guys but I can't pass over the sheer quality of the entertainement offered by Decoder Ring Theatre. http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/

The cliffhanger before the summer break in Red Panda Adventures was just horribly mean and then the return is just as excellent. Plus the new rythmn with Black Jack Justice every 15 o the month is lots of fun too.

I'll be less conventional here, and just say this year was great for me since I started it watching Kamen Rider Amazon and ended in the middle of BLACK. It's a big step in my journey to watch all the KR series since I barely made it to 2 series previous years.
This year I came out of the dark age into the era of enlightenment, which is, graduating high school and beginning college.
I also met the Doctor, for years I have heard of him, but never quite got to know his deal, now I do. Someday I will start a journey with him quite similar to the one I'm having with Kamen Rider. Start with the 2005 revival? Pfft I'll do it in 1963.

My personal picks, and I stress out the word personal:

Favorite Toku Series: New Kamen Rider, it drove me nuts, in a good way.
Favorite Movie: A tie between Sherlock Holmes 2, Captain America and Let's Go Kamen Rider (a dream come true).
Why are people splitting japanese and american movies/shows anyway? You racists!
Favorite Videogame: Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Not like I played many to begin with. I haven't played Skyrim and I never will. [HIDE]The moment I do, my life as I know it is over, I'm not touching that addictive death-trap.[/HIDE]

Forgot to say but my favorite Finisher of the year is the Uchuu Rocket Drill Rider Kick from Fourze. Especially the 'double limit break' version with the ginormous drills and rocket o.o but the regular version is awesome too.

then we got the Blue Slash used by Joe in Gokaiger where he uses FIVE Gokai Saber and summons five Blues of the past to finish off a bad guy!
