It's nice that this got to be the special occasion you were hoping for. Despite teasing you around the start of the thread about how you were *obviously* supposed to watch Decade early on (like apparently everyone else did!), I've honestly been very excited about the idea of you working your way through these ten shows, and then circling back from Decade to where you left off after Build. I have a feeling that's actually going to be a pretty awesome way to head into Zi-O. Again, it's very neat seeing this all come to fruition.

Thanks for being there for all of it!

I was actually talking to someone who has been watching Ghost recently (and not loving it), and I mentioned that Ghost's very specific storytelling decisions were what made me start posting on TokuNation. They'd joked that you must've come in to set me straight, and I was like Actually No Fish Was Very Cool About Having A Discussion. You've always been incredibly gracious in the ways you let people have their own perspective, while still trying to to address criticisms that are in bad faith, or just misreading the story. It's a rare gift, honestly. It's tough to disagree with people on the internet without starting a fight, but from day one you've been great at keeping things friendly and inquisitive. And on Ghost, even! I don't know if I'd've been so equanimous if someone joined the boards to say watching Ex-Aid was killing them!

Anyway, thanks for being a consistently positive presence in these threads. I can't think of a way you could be more help to--

If I could make one suggestion that I believe will make things easier on you: maybe consider having people directly suggest five episode groups they'd like to pitch in for, instead of/in addition to five shows? Just episode numbers with no context shouldn't be too revealing for you (it's not a spoiler to say Zi-O largely sticks to two-parters, right?), and I really feel like that extra set of data will be a lot simpler to work with in the long run.

!!!!!!!!

Thank you! This is an incredibly good idea! I am changing the post and messaging people tonight!

One request (for Fish or anyone else who watched Zi-O): Can someone PM or post a non-spoiler breakdown for Zi-O, by blocks of episodes? Like-

EPISODE 1-2
EPISODE 3-4
HEISEI FOREVER
EPISODE 5-6
RIDER TIME: RYUKI
EPISODE 7-8

and so on. Just episode numbers and where ancillary projects fit in. That would be awesome! Thank you for streamlining this whole process!
