To go along with my 2024 Game of the Year post, I'll now tell you about the movies I saw in 2024 as well! I can't really call it a "movie of the year" post if I haven't actually seen many new movies lol, I think it was like 3. So instead, I'll just tell you about what movies I saw this year instead.

Though in 2022 I only watched 6 shows, definitely a good few less than this year, much less than 2020 and 2021, and much, much less than I had watched from around 2012 to 2019.   The answer as to why is complicated, or at least it has of different factors. For one, anime's on a down swing I think. It could just be due to me getting older, my standards getting higher and having seen everything before so it needs to be extra good for me t...
