I’ve wanted to try Evangelion but I have no idea what’s the right way to watch it 😂
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.
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
Fate/Stay Confused
Evangelion is sorta important culturally and historically in anime, but honestly I wouldn’t call it good, even though it was one of the early ones I grew up on (along with Ranma 1/2 and Rurouni Kenshin).
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
This but unironically
Yeah it’s correct, but if I may offer an alternate plan:
Simply don’t watch Eva.
I’ll watch Eva instead of going to therapy and you can’t stop me!! (Neither can my doctor)
This is very accurate to the people I’ve met that love Eva and even myself when I loved it lmao
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 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.
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.
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!
The memes were top tier.
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?
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
The walking deads first season is great! Not the rest though
I bought and read the first comic, watched the first series, and called it good.
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)
I love batman and tried to get into comics many times. But every time I’d ask where to start it wouid be paragraphs of text exposing were I “could start” multiple reboots, side world’s, multi verse who else knows what. So I just give up.
He originally appeared as a minor villain in Captainman #743, so you’d have to read that first. And the previous issues, for context.
DO NOT ASK ABOUT HOW TO WATCH FATE/MONOGATARI
Literally just watch Monogatari in release order. It’s out of chronological order on purpose
I had a watch guide scare me off of Fate.
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.
But after watching Zero anything else from Fate is just weird.
Like adults murdering each other with magic and famous people makes some sort of sense. Kids doing that is just… stupid. I tried the Stay/Night, UBW many times, and it just doesn’t hit anywhere near as well as the Zero did.
I’m just going to pleasure myself with this fish.
To be fair, the Holy Grail War in Zero is the last one that was kind of played by the rules, and it never properly concludes.
The events of the main routes all depict the fallout of the Holy Grail War going to complete shit, as it starts back up off-schedule.
I’ve never watched it: I just read the hentai doujins. It gave me a better idea of the story.
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.
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.
I love Dragon Ball, but as a franchise, it’s shit.
The original DB was a light hearted adventure series.
Then DBZ was a lot darker and introduced most of the series lore.
Then GT turned Goku into a kid, and tried to do both.
Super tried to recreate the lightheartedness of the original DB, but with the Z fights - some of it was good, most wasn’t.
The upcoming series, Daima, everyone magically turns chibi. Evidently, Toriama is fixated on returning to the original DB.
I don’t think Daima will be good. Toriama needs to let kid goku go.
Toriama is dead. I don’t think dead people can fixate on anything.
Oh shit I forgot about that lol.
Maybe he can be with kid Goku in anime heaven.
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…
I’m still not over it ;_;
I’m not sure I ever will be…
Let me introduce you to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
The manga? Start with chapter one. The light novel? Start with chapter one. Only the anime made it needlessly confusing.
Once comics start going public domain, I hope the first thing people do is release them as chapters
Is the guy on the right genetically deformed?
No, he doesn’t exist, he’s an art project.
That’s Zara Boss, not Gigachad.
