I don't think I'd want to live in that world! Wozez seem real clingy, you know? Sure, it's fun to get an IWAE every time you do something for the first time, but then they're subtly manipulating you into fulfilling a destiny you might not want; betraying you; faking betraying you to teach you a lesson; getting into metaphorical battles with their alternate selves over how best to support the people you admire; getting into actual physical battles with their alternate selves... it's a lot! They seem like they'd be difficult to integrate into my life.

It felt this way after Decade too, but man, crazy to think how far the need to vent about one series has ended up carrying you.

I think I've officially written up more shows for the forum than I watched before joining, actually. Eight and a half before, and twelve and a half since. (Plus a whole bunch of post-show content.) Weird to think about! And, god, yeah, three more Reiwa shows to catch up on, then a gigantic break, and then... man, who knows? I've got some thoughts, but we'll see where everyone's interest lies next year.

Over all, if there was one thing Zi-O succeeded at, it was making an enjoyable cast that I'll definitely miss.

I didn't mention this, but Woz'z little coda on the Zi-O Vs special... it sorta keeps coming back on me? Not the dialogue - I legitimately don't remember what he said - but just the feeling of this being the last Zi-O thing, for the most part. I mean, there'll be the Zero-One winter movie for me in a month or so, but a dedicated Zi-O project, with the Zi-O cast? That's basically it. The closure on that, I'm sort of still processing it?

Aw, that's very sweet! I'm glad that he missed it for a nice reason.

That's plenty! Short but sweet! I'm glad you had a good time!
