We're like 10 min in and it's already PEAK

I've been waiting for this for YEARS

It's gotten better over the years tbh it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be

The reason I went through the audio drama was because I was doing research on the topic of the medium's history and defining works and trends so it was directly USEFUL to me. I don't know if I had listened to it otherwise. But I don't regret a single moment of it because it was FUN

But the thing is I also did genuinely enjoy S1 and S2, even knowing the ending would be awful. So it's not like it's somehow a completely worthless piece of art just because it has aspects that truly suck, there is a lot of good there. And I have a soft spot for the stupid IC ads

I can't even be mad about the ending because it's not your run-in-the-mill dogshit ending it's something so truly unique and fascinating in how bad it is that it awakens in me a sincere desire to study it. Because that kind of ending doesn't happen unless something goes Horribly Wrong in production

I allow myself to get it once a month as a treat and it's soooo good every time especially the soup part. I feel so rejuvenated and it doesn't make my stomach hurt
