Favorite Games

Too many to count but Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario RPG, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Rogue Legacy, and Moonlighter should paint a pretty solid picture.

Favorite Anime

Like games, there are too many to count but Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Kill la Kill, Case Closed, Gundam Wing, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are all great examples.
