At my current pace I will be starting Swordtember at around episode 945, which will take us all the way to episode 975! And then at 1000, the Witch's Curse will be broken!

It's been a while since I crunched the numbers, so I thought you might enjoy a Swords-eye View of the series and the journey it's been on.
