I'm just happy that bad things will have ended and good things outway the bad. Couldn't ask for better freinds coming into the new year so I guess Im happy for being able to graduate this coming 2013.
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
• Tales of Xillia
• Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary
• The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug <3
• Sailor Moon revamp
• Most importantly, I graduated College, so NO MORE SCHOOL! I get to be an adult now. *sob*
Overall, I think 2013 is going to be a good year! ^_^

Well, there are several things I'm looking forward to, personally...
- Reaching the 10-year mark of being on theO, as some other oldies have mentioned as well.
- Going to the UK with my grandparents in July. Should be fun!
- Continuing my Japanese studies in school!
- New Sailor Moon anime, definitely.
- Also Hetalia season 5!
- PCC and Anime Banzai, along with either Fannatiku(sp?) or Anime Salt Lake, depending on circumstances and the like. And getting to wear my Mami cosplay to all three (four?) cons if I finish it before March~!
-Community comes back February 7th
-C2E2 with my illustration pals.
-The second half of series 7 of Doctor Who should come air around April-ish.
-My eighth ACen, and perhaps meeting some old friends there.
-Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 do come out in 2013...
-Hitting the 10 year mark of having an account here.
-Turning 22 shortly thereafter, but that's not really exciting.
-50th Anniversary of Doctor Who.
-Then Christmas again.
Nothing really exciting for me, so I'm not that excited for it. To be honest, I'm only happy for the new Hetalia season that's coming out and that's pretty much it. 2013 isn't going to be nothing new in my case.

It's not exactly exciting, but I do hope I have better luck finding a job. I'm incredibly grateful that my family is helping me but it's been six months since I've graduated and I want to find employment that will support me, or at least enough to get a roommate.
Well, I'm not exactly looking forward to turning 21 this year... but it will be cool to get my mitts on some sake (finally), for "real" cooking!
I'm more excited about the con I'm attending. It's the 16th anniversary!
Well, I'm sort of looking forward to graduating from college. I don't know, I've grown to like it and it's going to be a bit strange to be split up from my friends and not go to classes anymore. But I'll be starting my Master's Degree in September so hopefully it'll be OK.
Definitely looking forward to the last three episodes of Fringe (because I'm an absolute fangirl of it), the third season of Game of Thrones and (maybe) the final season of Dexter. As for movies, I went to see the Hobbit with a few friends from college and we made a promise to see the rest in the same formula, so I'm hoping we'll get to do that. I want to read more books (little time atm, haven't read a book in God knows how long) and more manga, maybe even pick up watching anime again, see at least 50 movies from my list and write at least 20 reviews for them.
That's about it for mine, can't think of anything else at the moment. Loved reading everyone else's answers, by the way. Good luck with your goals!
I'm kinda disappointed the chosen Destructor never came on the 21st. If humanity is gonna get erased off this planet, might as well make a spectacle of it: wiped out by 500 ft. tall twin-tailed tsundere, then reborn into a brave new world.
Let's see, there's the tew season of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT. Okay, it won't be the highlight of the New Year, but more Sena is a good year.
Oh yeah, and I can't forget that the final Gunslinger Girl omnibus manga will be out this January. I'm really looking forward to that one, as should all GG fans.
Local Tales Nerd (Otaku Eternal) | Posted 12/27/12 | Reply
Well, I guess it's pretty obvious I'm gonna get the English version of Tales of Xillia (even though I've played the JP version already). I still wanna import the sequel, but I can wait for that.
Hm, I do wonder what might happen in this year... I sure hope that many good and blessful things will happen to everyone here! ^_^
Oh, definitely the new Miyazaki movies and many other ones as well.
And you never know actually what might happen or what good might come, so that might be the biggest things currently for me, as I am in confussion with many things which leads me in forgetting of many others. I hope and look forward to make motivation and time for all that and to great the new 2014 in peace.
Also for everyone who can time travel, happy New Year in the future~! *waves* :D
:) There are many things I look forward to. What I look forward to the most is a fresh start. Usually when there is a new year there is a fresh year. To accomplish and improve from the last year. Or at least that is how I see it. With that said, I'm looking forward to:
-Seeing my fiance again! :D I misses him.
-Hopefully getting a decent job. We'll see in January. *crosses fingers*
-Michiko to Hatchin!!!!
-Soul Sacrifice for the PSVita
-Those two Studio Ghibli films.
-Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman
-New season of True Blood and Game of Thrones
-Add watching the rest of Psycho-Pass. <.< I just got done watching episode 11 and just...wow...and found out a new episode isn't coming out till next month. x.x Ah the wait...
Uh...if there is anything else...hmm probably won't know till later.

20th birthday in January, new Miyazaki and Takahata films, becoming an Otaku Eternal, getting into a good college, continuing work on the news feature, starting work on a review show (COMING SOON: THE ZANRAI REVIEW! ONLY ON YOUTUBE)
A lot of things I still don't know yet :D
I look forward to better series (honestly I haven't really liked most of the past few seasons), of course the video games (Fire Emblem: Awakening caught my attention, Tales of Xilla 2 didn't really but I'll give it a try, maybe Final Fantasy Versus after 5/6 years...?)
AX 2013! This time I think I'll hopefully have a cosplay. So excited.
Graduation finally!
Then other things I don't know of yet :3
New Miyazaki movie?! :O
How have I not heard of this?
Now you got me all excited for that one ^^
Erm... my gf's birthday is coming up soon in the new year, got her some awesome presents.
I might be going to Katsucon and Otakon (provided I can make my parents pay-not very likely).
NOT looking forward to my birthday... definitely going to be the worst day of the year.
ANYWAY I hope the new Hobbit movies come out and that all of you have a great year in 2013!!! ^_^
I am more determined than ever to get my arms sorted for 2013. Since I have been essentially off work since 2007, I think it's high time things started going my way.
I have a nice physio program to adhere to and I am now a freelance artist and designer. I am also taking on more photoshoots, acting roles and voice over roles.
I have over 100 illustrations to do for a book which I am hoping to finish by the middle of the year if possible and I am looking at growing my Melty Shoes business as well by teaming up with charities. I also have some good connections in the 'celeb' world being in the VA industry and all, so I'm hoping that I may be able to coax one of them into teaming up at some point. Hohoho.
I am also looking forward to my eldest future sister-in-law having her first child. It should be due around July/August time. <3
Well, I'm not really sure what all to be excited about, but after watching "The Hobbit", I'm excited to see the next one. I'm hoping to be able to go somewhere this spring or summer, visiting some people for a day or two.
Moving out of this house into an apartment!
Also, getting to meet a friend I've made here on TheO IRL for the first time this coming Summer~ >w< We're so excited!
