Sat, 28 February 2009  Because all good things must come to an end. This episode is about:
Closing music: Shael Riley - "Bit Pop" from the album Toybox. Thanks for everyone's support over the past few years! The show wouldn't have lasted as long if it wasn't for all of you. Thanks again! Comments[18] |

Your success gave me the strength to try to be a podcaster on my own. I was kinda hesitant because most podcasts and popular ones have more than one.
I actually understand the burn out. My podcast dropped but I was depressed at the time. I thought about ending, but in the end I decided to move on and was doing an episode when I found out your news!
Thanks for all the shows man!

Thank you for the entertaining shows over the years. Good luck on your next podcast, Wax & Leather with Aaron, I believe we can all look forward to it.

Thanks guys! It really means a lot that you got so much out of my podcast.
I think that the only way a Wax & Leather podcast would work is if Lord K and I did it together. And it was video. :P

Ah bugger - so sorry to hear that Aaron. You, AWO, and OG (well, the first 50 eps anyway) pointed me in the direction of all the anime I hold dear... but you were the only one to teach me how to hammer Japanese auction sites ;)
As you said during the episode, you were pretty much cursed by the word "Weekly". Maybe changing to MARP (or, even better, WIFFLIARP ;) would ease the self-imposed pressure.
WIFFLIARP... might check that domain name now ;)

Thanks Aaron for all you've done for anime and podcasting. Your's was the first anime podcast I ever listened to and the only one that I'm still subscribed too. Have a great vacation when you get back to Japan, kiss a maid for me ;)

How I do wish I'd kept up with the political attack ads filled with unabashed lies. The notion that we'd do anything in a timely fashion is just plain absurd! The rest of that ad was factually correct, though.
Much as I lament to see WARP go, you did the right thing by quitting once you realized you weren't having fun with what's supposed to be a hobby. I've seen far too many people get burned out past the point of return for failing to follow your example. An odd combination of momentum and inertia can turn something you once truly loved into that which you despise most, which is why I decided long ago to never ever be an anime convention staffer or anime club officer.

Thanks Daryl. Believe me when I say this wasn't an easy decision. It's not easy to let something go that you've invested so much of yourself in.

Darn. I just discovered your podcast last year and have listened to as many of your podcasts as piqued my interest. Your calm voice and great commentary and recommendations were great to listen to. Thanks for all the great shows and good luck in your next endeavour. I for one will miss your podcast, whether it was weekly, monthly or whenever!
Aaron thanks for all the great shows man.

FYI, the convention at Owens Community College in Toledo is Garasu No Shi Con - it's Japanese for Glass City Con. ;-)

as you were my first introduction to anime podcasting im sad to hear that you'll be ending warp
but i still hold out hope that one day, in some near distant future, the net airwaves will once again resound to "hangin'ten in the shinkansen" - even if i have to do it myself!
not goodbye - merely till we meet again

Thanks everyone! I wasn't expecting this much of a response to the last podcast. I figured you'd all unsubscribed months ago. :) Thanks for hanging in there with me. I appreciate it more then you could know.

Well, damn. I am certainly going to miss this show. There was something about it that just clicked so well for me.
I'll have to quickly get around to archiving your Japan Trip episodes in particular. Those were spectacular.
Definitely keep us apprised of whatever you move on to do podcast-wise, because chances are that I'll want to listen!
Take care!

Wow, I just found this podcast a week ago and I'm already through 20 episodes. I listen going to and from work. Super bummed that I got on board after the show has ended. This podcast is great. Thanks for all of your hard work on this over the past several years. I still have nearly 50 episodes to listen to, but I have feeling the end will come all too soon. Thanks Aaron!
