Yeah it's correct, but if I may offer an alternate plan:

Simply don't watch Eva.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll watch Eva instead of going to therapy and you can't stop me!! (Neither can my doctor)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

This is very accurate to the people I've met that love Eva and even myself when I loved it lmao

I've wanted to try Evangelion but I have no idea what's the right way to watch it 😂

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Just watch it through, or the way like from that pic. End of Evangelion is an alternate version of episodes 25 and 26, and the rebuild movies are meant to be watched afterwards

It doesn't matter what order you watch it your first time around, you're not going to understand what the fuck is going on unless you watch a five hour video essay anyway.

Fate/Stay Confused

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Evangelion is an experience. As others have said, I wouldn't even bother trying to find the best way to consume it, just watch, and revisit once you get over the initial "wtf was that" feeling.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)
  • Original series (all 26 episodes)
  • End of Evangelion (optional, but recommended. This happens chronologically at the same time as Ep 25 and 26)
  • Everything else (optional, not recommended)

The OG series is the story Anno wanted to show. Some fans wanted a more concrete ending, so Anno gave them a concrete ending in EoE. Then some fans wanted a happy ending where Shinji gets the girl so Anno said fuck it, sold out, and made a series with a happy ending where Shinji gets a girl. But now some fans want a happy ending where Shinji gets the right girl so Anno gave up on them as lost causes and went and directed Shin Godzilla.

TV series: You have to skip the first season, it's a slow start and kinda shit. Go back to it later, except for S01E07 and 08, those are necessary to understand the story arc.
In S02, watch E03,04,05,08,11 and 02 in that order. Still drags on but there are some memorable moments. S03 is great. Except for the ending, skip that. And it all goes downhill starting in S04.
But if you stick with it, S07 is bearable again.

Best series of all time!

When does game of thrones get good? Season 8?

I personally recommend watching all of GoT in order, not because it's good, but because you won't appreciate the flawless genius of S8E3 without the other 7 seasons of context. It's a slow drag through those 7 seasons, but once it picks up in the last 5 episodes, it'll all be worth it, I swear. There's so much character development packed into those episodes that they'll seem like completely different people!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The walking deads first season is great! Not the rest though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I bought and read the first comic, watched the first series, and called it good.

Honestly, if I'm told that I need to watch something in a weird order in order to enjoy it, I just drop it from my watchlist. There's plenty of good media to watch, I'm not gonna do that stupid shit.

Does anyone really watch a tv show like that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis.

Not this extreme, but Always Sunny I couldn't get past the second episode. Gave up on it until someone told me that I can just completely ignore the first season and start on season two. Actually got into the show like that, never gone back to try and watch the parts I missed

With American comics, it's not even the shattered continuity, it's that availability is a mess because some of the franchises are so ancient and collectible.

If I want to read through One Piece from the 1997 start, my library probably has/can inter-library loan all 105 volumes, or I can go to mainstream retailers and get any I'm missing without a huge fracas.

If I want to read Batman from the 1940 start, I'd better hope some of the rarer issues come up at auction in the near future AND that I can mortgage my house to afford them.

I'm amazed they never put out a DVD-ROM collection that's "Everything Marvel/DC did prior to, say, 1990, as PDF scans" just so mere mortals have a chance to enjoy the experience of completionism.

If it's anything like magic the gathering, whales and third party sellers are to blame

I've got a DVD of 20 years of Amazing Spider-Man (1986-2006).

Yep. I first saw what he is asking for over 20 years ago. They sold them at a gas station by my house.

I was surprised about that figure of 105 volumes for one piece, so I googled it and it was 109 (probably just what came out since you last heard about it). I was expecting that number to be like a thousand or something.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

A little over a thousand chapters, but a volume has about ten chapters.

DO NOT ASK ABOUT HOW TO WATCH FATE/MONOGATARI

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Literally just watch Monogatari in release order. It's out of chronological order on purpose

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Fate is pretty easy nowadays. Just start with literally any series made after 2011. They're all self contained stories that explain the premise within the first few episodes.

We're a long way from the old days where you had to read the VN if you wanted to have any idea about what was going on in the UBW movie.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I had a watch guide scare me off of Fate.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Just start with Zero. It's a prequel that lays out the narrative devices of the series while being a pretty neat story in itself.

Oh, but the power of American superhero comics is that you can just start reading them wherever. Sure, there is deeper lore, but you're not required to know all that. There's this bat-dude, see? He punches crooks and does awesome shit in the night. There's also a bunch of wacky villains. See? Just go read it, you'll pick up the rest of the details as you go along!

And I also love a lot of European comics because most often they have a pretty good balance between complex writing and manageable size. And publishers here tend to be more lenient toward artists making one-shot kind of comics, without any expectations that it'll become the next endless blockbuster cash-cow property.

Still, I do like how most of the manga series are like "OK, here's the beginning, here's 20 or whatever volumes, here's the end."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Why do people understand this about the comics but not the movies?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Make sure you watch the corrected DVD order because Fox thought more action would be better and put the 2nd episode first, the first episode 11th and totally fucked any hope for a second season...

And that's why Comics < Manga

and I say that as someone who reads more Comics than she does Mangas (Not really fond of anime aside from specific examples)

He originally appeared as a minor villain in Captainman #743, so you'd have to read that first. And the previous issues, for context.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, it's in a very weird "how to progress further" dillema after Toriyama's death. Various people have the rights for different purposes; and want to do different things with the franchise.

I just hope it doesn't end up like LOTR franchise where they cash out for shit ass products that doesnt respect its source material.

Once comics start going public domain, I hope the first thing people do is release them as chapters

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I - I mean, you really only have to watch, like, season 4 through 17, pretty much. The rest you can just skip.

I wonder if there's a serialized Mr. Frog comic?
