I’m interested to hear about anime that give a different experience when putting the episodes in a different order. They can be official orders (broadcast vs dvd) or fan orders (moving arcs around, putting seasons in chronological vs release order). Maybe you can even think of examples where a companion movie is inserted in the middle of a season? Two separate projects by the same author or studio that can be weaved together to form a consistent whole?

    I’m interested in forgetting about it, this is close to triggering my PTSD. I spent way to much time on TVDB/TMDB trying to match obscure anime downloads with some reasonable airing order. And the specials … oh god deliver me from specials and OVAs.

    And yes, as already mentioned “Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” gave me a big headache … I probably spend around 2 hours trying to figure out which episide is which and putting them in one of the officals orders.

    I have a folder called “unsorted specials” that is about to hit 1TB …
