The Best and Worst of 2013
 

It's getting to be close to the end of year and it's time to reflect back on everything, Toku and Otherwise, the world has given us.

Scientists Discovered New DNA Code
Power Rangers Megaforce
Kamen Rider Gaim
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger
Zero: Black Blood (Garo Spinn-Off)
Super Megaforce Toys
Emilia Clarke named Sarah Conner in 'Terminator' Reboot
And so much more.

Sentai's Best

Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger - It's like someone had a picture of me on their desk and said "Hey, let's make him a Sentai series!"
Power Rangers Megaforce - Might not be the best ever but it had alot of fun moments.
Kamen Rider Gaim - If I have to explain this you haven't been watching the series.
Tenkai Knights - LEGO meets Gundam Force meets Medabots meets Digimon 04 and alot of fun.
My Little Pony - It's a surprisingly well-written series.
New DNA Code Found - It's a monumental discovery not getting enough attention. They found a code no one knew existed hidden in DNA, one that could unlock endless discoveries.

Sentai's Worst

.. .. Yea, I got nothing off the top of my head. Unless you count Miley Cyrus.

Pokemon X and Y, best Generation of Pokemon ever, never have i put so much into a Pokemon game.

And what you said about Megaforce.

Most Wonderful:
Gaim. I may be really behind, but it is AWESOME still.
My First Figuart. I can see why they're so addictive.
The Legacy toys. Because Legacy.
Pokemon X and Y.
Pacific Rim.
Amit Bahmik's version of Power Rangers Samurai.

Least Wonderful:
The Xbox One Pre-E3 crap.
Megaforce not being as awesome as Goseiger because Nick/Tzachor/Saban/Decade.
That fucking Fox song.
The Harlem Shake.
The fact Miley Cyrus could have won Time Magazine's Person of the Year. Seriously.

I don't understand why people hate this song so much. Ylvis seems to be having such a wonderful time making all of these nonsensical noises in an effort to identify that of a fox that I can't bring myself to hate it.

Finally, somebody understand me!

The Best-
Me finding about Kamen Rider.
The friends and relationships Ive made on this site.
Kamen Rider Gaim
Kyoryuger
The shit Ive learned that things can change quick...

The Worst-
Finding out about Mandarake and Toku toys...
Having a wreck.
Falling for a girl's bullshit.

Two people understand you. I don't get the appeal of that Fox song at all.

Best:
Gekiranger

Pokemon X and Y

Worst:
That fox
Wizard getting 2 more episodes

This is such a deep, deep question that requires lots of pondering. So maybe I'll just be as shallow as possible in things I enjoyed. :lol

Best:

• Pokemon X and Y, best games in a long time
• Star Trek Into Darkness, worthy entry in the Star Trek canon
• Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special (Day of the Doctor), wildly exceeded my expectations and was possibly the best cinematic experience of my life
• Kamen Rider Gaim, surprisingly good, and helped me get back into Toku
• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, continues to be the best animated TV show ever
• A close friend of mine who helped me cope with anxiety and sadness
• All of you guys! You might not have any idea how much you guys light up my life and make it so much better

Worst:

• That constant personal problem that has still not been fixed after all these months
• Falling out with some of my closest friends
• Persistent anxiety for the better part of the year

I enjoyed the year and feel I've grown so much more than usual.

Best:
Rediscovering my love of toku! :D
Watching Kuuga!
Pacific Rim
Actually owning more than 1 Japanese toy
And meeting all of you guys!

Worst:
My first college semester

I forgot something wonderful that happened this year, and now I feel like an asshole.

Ao Blue

And their generosity.

Think you might be missing someone there. :lol

Oh right!

Which reminds me that I need to put my best and worst list together. After I get through a few... personal projects. ;)

Best:
Gaim
Godzilla trailer
Pacific Rim
Super Megaforce toys
Beast Wars Revamp figures
My first two SH Figuarts.(One from a contest on here,one from my friend when he went to Japan for his honeymoon)
Borderlands 2 playthrough (Still Ongoing with my friends,Ultimate Vault Hunter mode is hard as hell)

Worst:
Wizard
The fact that Pacific Rim got beat in the box office due to lack of promotional material....to Grown Ups 2.
Cena vs Orton round 300
Losing interest in Kyoryuger.(Good series,just can't seem to get into it)

Both:
There is one thing that is both good and bad that happened this year.I got back into WoW.With an expansion coming out early next year that revamps all the character skins to look amazing,I got back into it.It's bad because last time I was,the only reason I stopped is because I couldn't afford it anymore.lol

I'm still pissed about that. :lol

WoW and Tokusatsu toys are going to beat down your wallet. :lol

Well I took that into account.My sister's boyfriend is getting me 4 months on WoW and my friend's mother is going to try and find the Aux Zords for the Legendary Megazord.Her husband is a great toy hunter,and if he can't find them,they'll just give me the money for one.

Well your wallet will be crying in like 4 months then :p

KRX knows how bad I hate that song. :lol

Thank you man. Its been awesome getting to know all you guys, and realising Im not the craziest person on the planet. :lol

I'm tempted to post it here to punish you for not using an adverb when you really should have. :p

Youve got at least 4 others that dont like it, we can all get Winston to kill you...

Note my usage of the word, "tempted," and how I did not post the song.

I know. But remember last time you sent me that song, I will spam you so bad with crappy country music. Yes, I said crappy! :lol

Wait, theres good country music?

That's two strikes, fuzzy buddy...

:p

When uchihabro77 kills you, can I have your stuff?

Well I'm not quite sure how to send my TFs and other stuff to everywhere and nowhere but sure.

Oh, it's just a simple matter of manipulating strings...

-eye twitches- ...You will be getting a PM in the next hour... You will watch every video, then you learn the difference.

Oh hush about me grammar! :p

I dont care who gets his stuff... He will learn the difference...

I was kidding. I was just quickly hopping onto a band wagon which I know is untrue and then quickly hopping off, dusting my hands like Decade, and going away

Alright... Just to warn you, do not do that again. I was seriously about to spam your inbox... :lol

Crap, now I hate you. :(

Best:
You guys and this message board. Sometime it feels like you guys are my best friends.
Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. Paul McGann coming back, the Day of the Doctor, And Adventure in Space and Time, the 5ish Doctors. Freaking Amazing
Kyoryuger
Wizards ending. Especially Nitoh.

Worst:
Mock Exams over the last few weeks. And I thought I had it bad already.
Miley Cyrus. Why can't she go away? Not far, maybe just to Mars or somewhere?
Just being a teenager in general. Finding it hard to fit in sometimes, not having any idea what people are thinking, whether they actually like me or are just messing with me... You guys don't need to know anything else about this.
That Fox Song. And the Harlem Shake. We can send them with Miley Cyrus.

So yeah. looking forwards to 2014! Exams and Sixth Form. Wooh

Nope! *Dashes off*
