From what I read in the Greatest Live-Action Movie Tournament it seems that people are getting a bit burned out on these type of threads, so I'm wondering if maybe I should put this on hold until interest has been renewed? Let me know what you guys think.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Nah, this one's already been ongoing for a while, so I'd still probably see it through to the end. I just meant to say that I probably wouldn't be interested in doing any new ones for a while.

[Avaitor]

Oh, please keep this one going! It's still fun to keep up with. If anything, this one will help to be the end of an era, which is not a bad thing at all.

[Pharass]
