It's great to see the support that's coming in. Obviously Arsenette and myself talked about this before hand and I support her 100%. Without her, there is no podcast and I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. I've been quiet on the topic so far because I wanted to figure out what this meant for me. From March through July I had weekly videos planned out for TwoTwentyTwo Productions, almost all Sasuke related. But after recent events I've decided to discard most of my plans. I'm not really excited to make Sasuke videos at this time. Unfortunately, this also means I won't be doing the Sasuke Live Preshow anymore. I'd like to transfer back into more general obstacle course stuff (and randomness) like I intended the site to be when I created it back in 2007. Of course I'll still be covering the National Ninja League Finals, so you don't have to worry about that. I also decided that I wanted to do one final Sasuke Guessing Game for the community. Some may remember that I've considered ending the game in the past and I think now is the time to do so. As for the forums post April, I'll probably pop by to talk wrestling with everyone and I'll probably stay in the ANW discussion as well. Thanks everyone for your support these (almost) 2 years. Jeezus Christ, everyone is leaving. Is it because I showed up? In all honesty tho, thanks for everything you've done. |

I fear for the day the forums become barren and there will be no reason to remain. I do hope you have a wonderful life. Treasure the memories and have a bright future.

Not William too!  It's sad to see another one leave. I remember you for your very old HG Labs videos which were brilliant and your guessing game was really fun! I wish you all the best with your future endeavours. |

As for the forums post April, I'll probably pop by to talk wrestling with everyone and I'll probably stay in the ANW discussion as well. Thanks everyone for your support these (almost) 2 years. It means the world to me that William has been there all the way. I was terrified to talk to him about this. I waited almost all week to do so until I knew what I heard was correct. I didn't know what his thoughts were going to be on it. He listened patiently and quietly while I just vomited out all what I had to say. I cry still thinking how patient he's been with me when I go off the rails with emotions. I even offered if he wanted to go alone or find another host. I did know though that he hasn't been feeling the same way about Sasuke for a while now. Similar to me in some ways actually before this incident so while I was scared he was going to take this badly.. I almost knew what he was going to say about the future of the show. Yeah. 2 years. I honestly had a LOT of fun. A lot more than I thought I would and I really looked forward to when we were going to do the podcast. I think because of this we are thinking of doing other stuff in the future together. Not on a set schedule but something that either of us can say "hey you have time off on (insert day) to talk about (insert topic) and even to the point where my husband wants to participate! LOL I've known William for about 8 years now - possibly 9 (brain is not doing math this morning..) and it means the world to me that he supports anything I do 100%. I do the same with him! I look forward to the podcast which will be most likely early next week barring real life stuff. I'm working on the Geoff interview now and hope to have that out by the end of today. I'll tackle the other stuff most likely tomorrow. I'm extremely uncomfortable recording it as I'm bracing for the hate mail but like ripping off a bandaid I have to get it over with. I'll be around in limited capacity as well for a bit and decide what I'm going to do. I have to resist temptation in going in the new Sasuke tourney pages despite my love for it's competitors. It's the show itself and how it's produced and organized that I get frustrated. Both William and I aren't going to disappear off the face of the earth and we are still on social media. As for SMF - to be honest it's not the same and hasn't been the same over the years. With the removal of Sasuke/Ninja Warrior from USA television the passion has left the USA. Very few are hardcore enough to follow the unsubbed version. Or just grew out of the show and went on to other things. That most likely explains why our little podcast was growing among those who haven't seen the show for a long time. Either way. 2 more episodes to go and we are trying to concentrate on the things that still makes us smile. ♥ |

Yep. Sasuke for me is people not obstacles. But without obstacles, there would be no SASUKE... |

Do you think ANW would benefit with international competitors or maybe an international regional qualifier like SASUKE Vietnam did once?

Kunoichi: Favorite moment not involving a win?
ANW: Would you like to see a form of the Endless Invisible Ladder as a future Final Stage (whether in conjunction with another obstacle such as Spider Climb/Invisible Ladder or its own singular obstacle a la the Rope Climb?
Edit, ANW-related: What Sportsman/Sports Danshi style events would you like seeing ANW competitors try out?

Do you think the Blue Stage should've had a Time Limit?

Yep just finished taping so if all goes well it will be out on Friday! I'll do my best to put that on the list for next month. I inexplicably forgot a couple but luckily William was quick to find them! (Like I missed TCM's edit...)
