Interest Stacks 245453

I have not personally watched this yet, but I heard this one definitely fits the bill for this stack.

Each arc starts out confusing at first, with events shown from different perspectives, leading viewers to piece the puzzle together and understand what happened. Eventually, each individual arc leads up to the main story.

Concrete Revolutio makes it very clear from the start that the story is non-linear, if one pays attention to the time stamps at the beginning of each event. This makes the story harder to follow, since you have characters who dress differently from episode to episode (or event to event), or character relationships being very different.

Although it can be difficult to follow, and perhaps even better on a second watch with a handy timeline on hand, the non-linear storytelling keeps you thinking about the events that occur and what causes the characters to change. Part of the fun is figuring things out!

Same as the first season since events that may happen in the first season could be later down in the timeline, which would typically be towards the end of the show (and vice versa).

The timeline is technically linear in a way, but you see the same events (or part of the events) happening from different perspectives.

An interesting (read: weird) story with a confusing, seemingly non-linear narrative.

For not so convincing reasons, the production decided to air the episodes out of order. According to many s, it seems like the chronological order is the better viewing experience since the story makes actual sense that way.

Only applicable for the first 3(?) episodes. Nevertheless, it make you react with "OHHH that's what happened."

Haruhi is well-known for having two watching orders: broadcast order and chronological order. I actually watched this is chronological order (which I enjoyed), but I've heard people say that it's blasphemy since broadcast order is the intended order. From what I , I think the order doesn't matter too much in the end since the series is pretty much episodic so it's hard to tell if there really is an order, aside from paying attention to some background clues of the dates.

Same as first season, the timeline of events are actually mixed with the first season's.

Touka Gettan is probably the oddest one on this list, since the broadcast order had almost all of the episodes airing backwards, except episode 25, which is the same in broadcast and chronological order. Check the More Info tab on the DB page to get the broadcast vs. chronological order!

Since I haven't watched this (yet?), I don't know how confusing or not this series would be if watched in broadcast order. I'd assume it would be an interesting ride, though!

Each hero arc starts at a different year.
