agrotera-thanatos asked: So, what's been your favorite season so far to go through? Is there anything specific in Data Squad you're looking forward to? And are you looking forward to watching Fusion when it airs?

While Tamers is my favorite season, I’ve actually enjoyed taking such a hard look at Frontier. The season is often dismissed outright and while it is mostly mediocre, it’s been very interesting to look at not only what went wrong, but what the series could have been with some slight changes.

Data Squad will be a different experience since it was the first series I watched entirely in Japanese and this will be the first time I’m watching it dubbed. Season five is quite underrated and it will be interesting to see how it stacks up to the other seasons objectively. It’s entirely possible it will get a higher GPA than season one!

And since I missed the Japanese run of Xros Wars, I’m really stoked for Fusion. The timing is nice as it means I can cover the entire franchise through the English dub, something that was not certain when I started the project. It’ll be an interesting perspective as I’m plenty familiar with the series but the dub will be my first experience actually watching it.
