I like jonathan the most. like ep 1 of part 2 made me hoot n holler for that boy

i thought joseph was like 100 times cooler than jonathan. but joseph is also the part 2 guy, so we might actually be in agreement (i also hooted and hollered from the first episode and could watch joseph own superhumans with sick knot tricks forever)

Also, I'm thinking about watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya since that's so heavily referenced by this show, and I remember it being a big sensation at the time. Was it actually good, though?

it's incredible. important: make sure you watch in broadcast order

if you end up liking haruhi a lot, i think it's interesting to rewatch the episodes that happen chronologically after episode 24 (by your numbering) before you watch the movie. live alive really highlights haruhi's growth as a person (and it's refreshing to see haruhi at her best after you see haruhi at her worst in s2), someday in the rain is a really nice tonal and thematic companion piece to the movie, and it should be pretty obvious why you might want to revisit adventures of mikuru asahina. also all of those episodes are amazing anyways.

creating a highly experimental sawako order for k-on that places the episode where she reunites with the death devils last.

Oh god I'm so confused

When you say "season 1" are you saying:

A.) Whatever Funimation is calling season 1
B.) The first set of episodes in my post you quoted (season 2/episode 25 through season 1/episode 6)
C.) Something else?

If it's B, then yes, my plan is to watch that first set in the listed order, and then presumably stop at that point if I'm not loving the series since it sounds like the second set of episodes (season 1/episode 8 through season 2/episode 24) aren't as well-liked overall.

the episode order you posted earlier was the good one.

the opening shots of the jjk movie are powerlines + shinji's va apologizing, therefore it's actually an unofficial evangelion sequel.

It's like someone watched the Namek arc and took offense to Frieza's 5 minutes remark, so they decided to set a ten hour time limit until the human sorting would begin, then decided they would tell the story in ten hours real-time.

lucky for you the entire arc is about recontextualizing famous moments in dragon ball z history

Very well, I'll cherry pick the whole thing. A huge cherry, all for myself.

there's no way you thought the final episode was good. unless you only watched ai sing karaoke and a few shots of her being sad in the rain

When I say I enjoyed it all that includes the finale, yes.

then i respect your commitment to enjoying anime. for what it's worth (spoiling because at least one active viewer in thread) i think the frill episode is one of the best episodes in the show, and i think the ai helping ai penultimate episode was a good premise (even if the execution wasn't perfect). but i can't understand the final episode as anything but a rejection of the central premise of show: it's bad when men in positions of power abuse women. it's bad to make a robot girl and trap her in a basement. it's bad to conscript teenage girls to fight your proxy war against the monster you created and abused. i love the frill episode because it's a cool horror story that also encapsulates the acca's hubris, malice, and ignorance -- the episode even ends with ai literally walking away from their bullshit -- and i can't rectify that with the ending. maybe there's a depressing metatextual interpretation that implicates the writer as the ultimate abuser.

the director should make a wonder egg movie where ai opens an egg and the world is a weird approximation of the show and the monster is a caricature of the writer

End of Eva is one of those things I don't ever want to rewatch because it was so impactful and mind blowing to teenaged me I don't want bitter jaded middle aged me to ruin it

you'll probably appreciate it more because it's also the most bitter ending out of the 3
