Hey thanks for the message! It saddens me to leave RYM, but I just can't handle that site, it's too damn distracting... Like, if I had to guess, I'd say that I spent well over 100 hours working on lists alone, and by that I mean lists that I never even published. Glad to be done with that shit >.>
Oh and of course I know you're the one and only Smiley, I used to stalk all my RYM friends' profiles you know :3
ah well, i'm happy you enjoyed the movie! it's one of my faves.
if the day comes when you rewatch haruhi, you should give the chronological order a go. i think the order you watched it in is probably actually a good way to watch it first time round, to try and emulate what it was like for people back when the show first aired. but after that it's better to watch it in order.
anyway i'll gush more about the haruhi film when i finally reply to your message on RYM! lol. i will reply this week, guaranteed. i've just been distracted
what's going on with your haruhi watch. did you watch disappearance before finishing season 2?????????? it's making me freak out. i feel like you're not getting the best possible experience from the series
oh man..... the problem with the broadcast order is that it makes no sense when season 2 comes into play, because when season 2 aired, it aired WITHIN the first season so that they were all in chronological order - KyoAni recognised that it wouldn't make sense for the season 2 episodes to be in any order other than chronological. So once you finish the first season's 14 episodes, you'll have these season 2 episodes that you can watch, but which won't have the same impact as if they'd been watched in the correct order.
I'm guessing you're set on the watch order, but I wanted to say this anyway so that you don't hold it against the show when season 2 comes around.
Also, Someday in the Rain is the perfect note to end the 28 episodes on, and a wonderful transition (in theme/tone, not story) to the film. ok ill stop
HARUHI. i am here to check that you are watching haruhi in the correct order (which is chronological, and mixes the first and second seasons together - as shown here if you scroll down - https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6367)
I just remember Subaru screaming at the top of his lungs in this really annoying way as Rem *somehow* wielded her giant spikey ball chain thing to cut off one of his legs. And then he started unleashing on us his desires and regrets and such, and how he's "getting good at cutting vegetables" and shit like that in this super melodramatic and OTT way with his eyes bulging and streams of tears taking up half his face - to try and make us feel sorry for him I guess? Or to feel SOMETHING. ANYTHING I guess? But all I felt was a vague disgust at the show trying so obviously to manipulate me with its shock tactics and something that felt more like exploitation that good, interesting drama.
So there it is.
man you stormed ahead on Utena. Guess you liked it lol. I'm aiming to get to it in the next few days and smash it out. Might need to watch a few eps I've already seen to jog my memory first.
Nichijou is the series I have rated highest for reasons on the SOL spectrum.
I have not seen Aria, but when I do, I fully expect it to become one of my MAL favorites.
Mushishi's got a SOL feel, too and Simo loves it dearly.
If you feel like watching something, give in to that feeling, because that's a fleeting feeling. If you've had a few weeks where you don't feel like watching SOL, no need. Just make sure you don't get caught in a rut of stuff that isn't that great.
