I’m interested to hear about anime that give a different experience when putting the episodes in a different order. They can be official orders (broadcast vs dvd) or fan orders (moving arcs around, putting seasons in chronological vs release order). Maybe you can even think of examples where a companion movie is inserted in the middle of a season? Two separate projects by the same author or studio that can be weaved together to form a consistent whole?
The inspiration for the thread: I’m rewatching Tatami Galaxy and I remembered that I accidentally watched it in reverse order the last time. It worked surprisingly well, but I did watch episode 11 again at the end, after I realized what had gone wrong. There’s some time shenanigans anyway, and every episode contains about as many callbacks as callbacks-to-future-episodes and that doesn’t change in reverse order.
