I, too, always saw a similarity in TBSOWFMU and Achewood, not necessarily a similarity in the material, but more in how they aren't that easy to jump right into but pay off big time in the end. They're really hard to explain to people and don't shine in their true glory until you've experienced a hefty chunk. I've constantly told friends and relatives about both fine institutions, and maybe only one out of every four or five ever really gets into either of them. My brother told me to check them out, so I read a few Achewoods and listened to one Best Show, and I didn't really get either of them. They were hard to understand somehow. It was like, "What is this?" Eventually, I went back and tried them again, and everything clicked for me. Now, I read Achewood religiously and can't wait for the Best Show podcast to download every week. I would certainly recommend that FOT give Achewood a shot.
