I’m not sure how long this will take me. Yes, it’s a large task - 59 arcs to review, 59 episodes to either cut out or edit. But perhaps I produce any edits in priority order (Vs first, then Is, then Ds, then Es, and no Os). And a lot won’t need much at all - just a bit of trimming together and some clean transitions. It’s hard to say.
If you wanted to start now you absolutely could - I’ll put together a progress tracker on the front page which lists out the arcs in their chronology, and marks their importance. But it’ll be a little based on memory since I’m only now going through and doing a proper review of each. I’ll keep it up to date though.
The difference between watching just the best ones in chronological order and watching my eventual output will just be levels of polish, really. It depends how much you want to rely on those. If it were me, I’d wait, because there are plenty of moments in the best arcs which still drag. But see how much progress I make and decide for yourself. I’ll go set up the tracker on the front page now.
