There's a thing where...

I'm about eighteen months out from catching up to Kamen Rider Whatever Is After Saber. This year is Kiva, Decade, maybe starting Zi-O. Next year is Zi-O, Zero-One, Saber. And then I'm done with all the writing I felt like it could be interesting to read. Eighteen months is a lot of writing I've got ahead of me, and yet I still think about additional projects for the future. Not on a regular daily basis or anything (that's probably done when I catch up on Kamen Rider), but something I could have fun with a couple three times a year. Go-Busters, to try out a Sentai. Maybe an Ultraman, since folks seem pretty into that.

But then I think about all the shows I never wrote up, 'cause I already watched them. There's a part of me that would like to point to a thread for every Heisei show, to go I Made That. Except, I don't know if that'd be as interesting to me, revisiting shows I've already watched.

Maybe that'd be a nice experiment, though, to come at with the full scope already in mind. Instead of shrugging at, say, the Meteor stuff on Fourze, being able to see it for the ways it talks about friendships that are transactional, or about the ways friendships can sometimes let guilt overpower self-sufficiency. I remember that brief Ex-Aid Movie rewatch thread being fun. I don't know.

(Folks can chime in if they'd care about me rewatching W through Ex-Aid, interspersed with first time stuff. Interested to know if there's interest. I would kind of love to let the final Big Project that I tackle for these boards be rewatching Ex-Aid. There's a symmetry to that that I find really enticing.)

So, yeah, the tension of y'all having watched these episodes while I haven't, it's sometimes weird for me. Not bad! Not at all! But I think it can lead to us getting different things out of some of these episodes.
