Hi there!
Here we are for a post about last year. I won't talk much about personal stuff, since not much have changed: I've finally visited London (AND I went to the Harry Potter studios which are just *_____*), but other than that I... studied. Quite a lot. I passed 3 big, important exams and now I'm left with only one (the biggest of them all, of course -.-") so, hopefully, in the end of the year post of 2016 I'll be here bitching about finding a decent job (of course the best thing would be actually having a job but... that's not going to happen, at least not this year).
But let's talk about the important things.
I would have liked to write a post like last year's one, but, honestly, my fandoms are almost the same, there are no new ones. I'm definitely back on board on the Arashi train, Kanjani haven't been releasing many nice songs this year but they still don't make me live, VIXX are still cute, I'm still in love with Aiba, Ohkura is still a bad person. I don't follow EXO as much as before I just care about Kyungsoo but I still like them, and I don't follow Winner because... they're not doing anything, so... Ah, B.A.P are finally back after the lawsuit, so I'm having once again potatoes feels.
Haikyuu!! (both the manga and the anime) keeps being one of the best things ever. It's perfect and I love it. The only thing I don't like is that I love all the characters so I DON'T WANT ANY TEAM TO LOOSE. That's a problem. Anyway, I said it last year and I'll repeat it: read this manga. Or watch the anime. Or, even better, DO BOTH.
Best dramas of 2015
Ouroboros: a brilliant cast, a good plot about revenge, angst everywhere. Also my tears. I think that every person who watches japanese dramas has already watched it or at least plans to. If you haven't put it on your watchlist yet, DO IT.
Yokoso, Wagaya e: and I'm not saying this because of Aiba. I mean he was a good (more than good...) reason to watch it, but this drama IS actually good. It's about a cute, silly family and its stalker, every single character is suspicious and you'll end up suspecting everybody. Even the cat.
Okitegami Kyoko no Biboroku: I still have to write a proper post for this winter's dramas so I won't say much now. Just that the main characters are super cute, the drama is adorable and funny and MY HEART IS BROKEN.
Samurai Sensei: another winter drama, I expected nothing from it and ended up loving it. It was just so much fun! One of those typical dramas that make you fall in love with Sakamoto Ryoma. If you've watched it, you know what I mean.
Angry Mom (K): it focuses on a school and its problems of bullism, criminal teachers, little hooligans who're actually poor abused children that needs to be protected (Go Bok Dong I'm talking about you). It's really good and also have a little twist near the end that will surprise you and make you sad.
I Remember You (K): it's not extraordinary and I didn't really like the ending, but I've enjoyed it a lot. I know I like a drama when, when an episode comes out, I watch it as soon as I can, and with this one was like that. I knew who the criminal was like... immediatly (and not just me, everybody except the characters knew) but I still enjoyed it. Seo In Guk and Park Bo Gum were NOT a reason. I swear.
Oh My Ghost (K): this was SO cute and fun, especially the first episodes! I really laughed a lot, I suggest you to watch it if you're in need of a nice love story (there's a ghost involved tho, you may feel sad at some point).
Reply 1988 (K): I'm putting this here even if it's not over yet, because I just LOVE the Reply series, and this one may be my favourite so far. WATCH IT.

Books I've read
Goodreads has this very nice thing where you can see your year in books, but I'm not sure if other people other than me can see it. Anyway, you can see a simple list of what I've read here.
At the beginning of the year I set the goal to read 12 books (one per month) but I was afraid I couldn't complete it since I had to study a lot... but, somehow, I read 16 books O_o Most of them were thrillers or not very 'heavy' stuff, but still.
For example, I read the whole Mortal Instruments saga, and while I'm not really a fan of the young adult genre, I wanted to read something 'easy' in english and this saga was quite famous, so I've tried it. It's not trash, but not my favourite genre, and I also think the author should have stopped after the 3rd book.
I've finally read 50 Shades of Grey, because I wanted to finally know what everybody was talking about and... it's complete trash. Not just the story itself, but the characters, the way it's written... trash.
What I've particularly liked are the Jeffrey Deaver books and Gone Girl. GONE GIRL WAS AMAZING.
Movies I've watched
I don't know you, but I never manage to watch many movies. Or I go to the cinema, or, at home, I find it really hard to watch them. Maybe because they're long? I have no idea. But I have this suuuuper long list of movies I want to watch, and each year it just gets longer T_T
This year, I've actually managed to watch more movies than usual (24 aren't much, I know, but not for me).
Jan--> Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiru
Horrible Bosses 2
The Imitation Game
Feb--> L♥DK
Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie
Crows Explode
Mar--> Pikanchi Half - Life is Hard, Tabun Happy
Cinderella 2015
Lupin III Live Action
Apr--> Into the Woods
Captain America - The First Avenger
Captain America - The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Gone Girl
Avengers - Age of Ultron
May--> The Age of Adaline
Jun--> We're the Millers
MIRACLE - Debikuro kun no Koi to Mahou
Ao Haru Ride
A Few Good Men
Aug--> Ant-Man
Sep--> Misono Universe
Inside Out
Dec--> Pan
I've liked most of them, luckily (not Pan. Pan was a pile of crap and a waste of money, don't watch it).
And I've watched a lot of Marvel movies, since I wanted to watch Age of Ultron and I needed some background story other than the 1st Avengers movie and Thor.
Aaaand I think I'm done?
