My favourite anime series is Patlabor, it has a little of everything and it is short enough without going into a triple digit episode count, including OVA, TV. and movie timeline.
As for my favourite game. That is hard to say, it depends on what I'm in the mood for. I sank a lot of hours in FFTA1-2 just because the EU cart is region free, I can play all the missions in Spanish, French, German, and Italian (only with FFTA1) to learn new words, when needed. The first Metal Gear Solid, dubbed and translated in Spanish, French, German, and Italian, also served the same purpose. My native language is Portuguese, not a lot of stuff for retro consoles get official translations. TecToy translated Phantasy Star I-III, but not IV, which is the one I played the most. Maniac Mansion (as well as several other LucasArts games) has many translations to choose from. If it is text heavy and can be finished in a single weekend, I’m more likely to go back to replay, like with Super Mario RPG or Terranigma.
