The timing of Christmas is such that it’s a nice time to reflect upon the past years. Applying that reflection toward anime, I’ve reworked the words to a holiday favorite, “My Favorite Things,” the last few years. And here’s another version for 2013 (Note: there are Attack on Titan anime and Naruto manga spoilers in the lyrics):
Goro does better up on Poppy Hill;
Mizusawa with more karuta thrills;
Even if Chihaya’s arm’s in a sling;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Less creepy Kowaru in 3.0;
Genshiken’s back! Let’s get on with the show;
Mirai and Mitsuki and all the rest sing;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When Marco dies
And so does Petra,
And I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

Koko and Yana and Banri and Linda;
Sasuke becoming a new nice boy ninja;
manga and artbooks all tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

Watching, with my wife, Clannad After Story;
Kuroneko is jealous of Ayase;
Small group on anime girls with wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.

When Marco dies
And so does Petra,
And I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
I bow to your creativity…and here’s hopign that some of it rub off on me so my brain can get back to writing!
