Hi, everyone! So here we are, once again, time to talk about the best series, manga, anime, TV Shows, movies, and video games I experienced in 2024. As always, this is about my year in review: Petrik's Choice Awards 2024!
As I mentioned before, although my channel is heavily focused on fantasy and sci-fi novels, I also love TV shows, movies, anime, manga, and video games! 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 this year.
I've already covered the best and most disappointing novels I’ve read this year in a dedicated video. So I will be skipping those two categories. The first half of this video will ALL be related to novels; traditionally published and self-published combined into the equations. After that, I will be talking about all the best and most disappointing manga, anime, movies, and TV shows of this year. Here's my year in review!
Thank you so much for all of your support this year. This channel is four years old now. More than 40,000 of you are here now. The steady growth this channel experienced has been gratifying. May 2025 be awesome for us!
