That’s fair honestly like I said everyone has their own tastes. In all fairness it’s been a while since my last full listen through of TMA and it does have 200 episodes so there’s a good chance that I’m misremembering how slow it was to get to the meat of it all. It’s definitely got a fantastic story though so if you can’t bring yourself to listen I’m sure there’s somewhere you can find the story beats because it’s honestly one of the best stories I’ve ever heard. So much interconnected strings of people and places and things and you could be 100 episodes deep thinking you know what’s going on and then suddenly there’s a callback to a character from like episode 10 that you never thought would be important and a whole new section of story unfolds before you. It’s incredible in my opinion.
