I remember first watching Ninjago seasons 1-2 on loop during the summer vacation between fourth and fifth grade, in 2013, when Ninjago was "asleep." I joined the original LEGO Message Boards in early 2014, and I wrote some honestly bad stories looking back, but I made friends; I sometimes pay a visit to any sort of Internet archive to relive the memories. However, I fell "out of love" with Ninjago in around 2015 due to having not watched in a while and other interests taking over.



In late 2017, in my freshman year, the LEGO Ninjago Movie brought back my love for the franchise. I met my best friend (BearSoliloquy ) through sharing a usage of the LMB Eternal (as the Brick Boards was once called), and finished season 3 and watched seasons 4-7 and Day of the Departed (and Wu's Teas ); season 6 was probably my favorite then.



In early 2018, I was still a freshman, but the hype for season 8 felt as fresh as I was. I also watched season 9 in the summer.



I was so excited for Season 10 in my sophomore year, and I wasn't disappointed. Season 11 probably came out between my sophomore and junior years, and though the Fire Chapter I didn't enjoy much, the Ice Chapter was amazing. I watched season 12 around spring 2020 and I loved it.



Season 13, on the other hand, made me nervous. I was excited for a Cole season, but the idea of sorcery and spirit warriors made me shrink back (although there was already the "ritual" in season 8, so...). I did watch a few episodes, and I enjoy it a bit, so I may watch more, but I do feel a tad bit cautious.
