2019 Challenges: Year in Recap

Sub_Challenges2

As we sit on the precipice of a new year and a new decade, let’s take a look back at 2019 and see how terribly I did on my challenges.

Watch 50 anime series

Perhaps 50 was a lofty goal, and therefore I have got nowhere near this. I managed to hit 20 series, which is pretty poor – not even one every two weeks.

Platinum 25 games

This year was the year I got really into Trails of Cold Steel, and as such spent 300 hours on the series. This meant I did not have a lot of time for platinum trophies. I did manage to platinum the first Trails of Cold Steel game, back in July, which was the last platinum trophy I got this year, bringing my total to a paltry 7 platinum trophies.

Read 12 books

I got started on this challenge fairly late on in the year, so considering that, I’m actually pretty pleased with my progress. I made it to 7 books, so just over halfway. I’m definitely in the habit of reading more now, so I’ll be setting myself another reading-based challenge for 2020.

Watch 100 films

If you’ll recall, this was to watch 100 “must see movies” as dictated by a poster that was bought for me. This is my worst challenge yet; I managed two.

Watch 25 films in the cinema

Finally, something I’ve done. I managed 31 films in the cinema this year, helped massively by Scotland Loves Anime, a film festival I attended. Anyway, hooray me!

Finish Naruto

Hahahahahahahaha. I did not do this.

2019 Challenges: The beginning

Sub_Challenges2

I’m not deterred by my terrible attempt at challenges in 2018, and will be continuing the tradition with a new list for 2019. With the help of some friends, I’ve set some challenges, so here they are:

  • Watch 50 anime series
  • Platinum 25 games
  • Read 12 books
  • Watch 100 films (my parents bought me a scratch out ‘100 must see movies’ poster for Christmas so I’ll make a new post with the films on the list)
  • Watch 25 films in the cinema
  • Finish Naruto

I’ve moved some things relating to cosplay, photography and clearing my gaming backlog  (and actually updating this blog) into my ‘personal challenges’ list, as they aren’t really measurable which is what I want for this purpose.

As always, I’ll be tracking progress on Twitter using the slightly amended hashtag of #cs2019challenges. If you have a game, anime series, book or film to recommend, please let me know!
