I cried several times, sometimes at random moments. :fountain:

I maybe shouted “THIS IS IT” when the kid’s apron was revealed

Oh, huh

Further research reveals that Otter Media, who own Crunchyroll & Fullscreen, acquired the rights.

Great, so that’s another subscription I’ll be getting solely for The Brothers.

Turns out they landed on VRV.co which is a free-with-ads type deal

Also they got JoJo’s because there’s some cross-platform situation with Crunchyroll which is good because I never got around to finishing part 4

I just powered through the last episode. It’s, uh, really good.

Mild (non-story, but still very important) spoilers, but,

“Thus ends, The Adventure Zone: Balance. The story of four idiots that played D&D so hard, that they made themselves cry,” may have been the best way to possibly close this out.

Gotta admit, the final “Magnus rushes in” got to me. That whole part was just such a lovely way to end it.

What an ending. Can’t wait for what comes next.

Spoilering the bejesus out of this whole thing just to be on the safe side

I know Griffin has said that he’s taken inspiration from other games/movies for the other arcs (“Petals to the Metal” being from the Fast and the Furious movies, for example) and with this one, I’m nearly positive the final fight was inspired by Undertale and Earthbound. From the bond between you and your friends translating into a power to destroy the final villain, to the music and form-change and even color aesthetics of the final boss, it was incredible

The one thing I was upset never got resolved was Lup getting her 15 dollars back from GREG FUCKING GRIMMALDIS, when they started mentioning that people in destroyed worlds were the corrupted army of the hunger I was waiting for him to show up

So excited for what’s coming next, and the next TTAZZ

Edit: spoiler tag was being weird, sorry about that

I finally finished listening to episode 69 (nice) of TAZ earlier today and I was shedding a few tears during the epilogue, but then it got to Magnus’ personal epilogue and there was too many tears. I’m very excited for whatever comes next from the boys now because hot damn.

It reminded me the end of Six Feat Under.

I had originally fallen asleep listening to the last hour of TAZ 69, and I’m really glad I went back and re-listened.

I only started TAZ a couple of days ago and am currently solving train crime at episode 15, but I’m excited to cry about whatever y’all are crying about when I finally get there in a month.

Edit: Okay, it’s been a month since I started, I finished today and I understand all the crying now. Show was a little slow at first and I wasn’t super into it, but I’m glad I stuck with it because it grew into such a wonderful and warm experience that I just couldn’t stop thinking about. I already miss every single character I got to know over those 69 extremely nice episodes, and I can’t wait for whatever is next so I can meet more.
