    I started in 2020 as well! But in a weird way I feel super intensely emotionally attached to it, because it was a lifeline while teaching and designing theatrical costumes remotely and panic learning procreate to do so. I was working on a show which is partially set in a DnD game, and I had just zero context for that. So TAZ was both escapist delight and a way to experience ttrpg while designing dnd stuff. And then… I just never stopped listening. But TAZ got me through 2020.

    I absolutely loved all of this, especially the designs for Magic Brian, everyone’s art of him was so silly and expressive and everyone made the episode feel just like it should, and it really brought me back to my first listen of TAZ

    This is INSANELY well done, what the heck! I absolutely loved seeing so many different styles and interpretations, and yet be able to so very clearly see that they're all of the same characters. Absolutely amazing, I can't imagine the work and love that must have gone into creating something like this. Thank you so much to every person who worked on this!

    Okay the bit at when Merle says "I feel like I don't know you guys" and "I feel like we've grown apart" like obvi a joke at the time but it HURTS. It just hurts.

    Thank you to all the amazing people who have worked on these incredible animations! Seeing so many iterations of the same lovable characters transition so well is just phenomenal. I remember watching some of these already years ago and so many more I have never seen. I love this so much!

    This is magnificent. I've just started listening through the masterpiece of story telling that is TAZ Balance again and just got to the first lunar interlude. Thank you for putting all of these amazing artists visions together. I was both disappointed and relieved that the part with the splooge tunnel was left out. 😅

    SOOO many great details! Merle the Beach Dwarf's Hawaiian shirt. Everyone grabbing dice out of the word balloon at "going to initiative". Taako using his wand instead of grabbing one. All the great animation styles, even changing the static effect. So fun! OO, and Griffin's third eye ( which I always love) also has glasses! Bahaha! And the talking heads, good lip synch and perfect expressions!
