Grr... evil I was so sure I was getting a spoiler for Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion. XD It's on Youtube, but no subs. I want to wait for the subs...  

[Furyal]

Really? Animegiant.com has it all, subbed and everything. O.o  

[Otulissa]

Nevermind. I watched it on Google videos. It was awesome! Did you like it?

I felt bad for Hitsugaya. sad I liked the mini Hitsuhina moment in there. ^_^ *squee!* I just wish there was more Ichiruki...  

[Furyal]

I haven't seen it, no.
But I'm not sure when the first bleach movie takes place.Same with the second one. Enlighten me, please?  

[Otulissa]

I don't think there's really a set time. It's independent of the show. ^_^ It's just for fun. Similar to the Inuyasha movies. I know people who watch the Bleach movies but don't watch the show. No spoilers, don't worry.  

[Furyal]

Oh. So they're kinda like REALLY long one-shots.  

[Otulissa]

Yeah.  

[Otulissa]

Hm... I've been watching a ton of AMVs and looking at fanarts today. XD

For anyone that watched/ watching the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the following are incredible songs sung about the characters by the same voice actors as the characters! Everyone should check them out! The first two are my personal favorites:

Character songs, right? I love listening to character songs!~ Many animes have characters songs sung by the seiyuus.  

[Hellfire Champion]

Yeah. Have you seen the anime?  

[Otulissa]

I have seen some of it; it's interesting! I memorized how to do the Hare Hare Yukai dance!~ I love the dance.

Do you watch the episodes in broadcast order? Or chronological order? I started by watching the broadcast order. While it was cool to do that, since the episodes are not in chronological order, there were many references I didn't get until I watched them in chronological order.

Here is a fansite with all the episodes on both broadcast and chronological order, as well as two parody series' that are just hystarical:

Watch!

I think in Broadcast order. It was really confusing. XD  

[Hellfire Champion]

The two orders have their strengths and weaknesses.

Broadcast order stretches the action out over a longer period of time, but I, like you, was left rather confused as to what exactly happens when. When I watched the whole series again in chronological order, it made absolutle perfect sense.

Chronological order helps out the best when it comes to character development, essential for any story. It gets most of the fighting and action out of the way early, and instead focuses on the building relationships between Kyon and the others, specifically Haruhi. Plus there are also many smaller references that you wouldn't catch until you watch the series in chronological order.


From what I've heard, the episode list in broadcast order was jumbled chronologically because it was meant to reflect Haruhi's ability to manipulate space and time. While that was a very artistic approach, it confused people like us. Many people would recommend watching it in broadcast order first, and then again in chronological order. If you want, then do that.

But if you don't mind the lack of action, I would simply start over again in chronological order. You'll understand it a lot more.

The website I showed you has a list of all the episodes in chronological order, so that will help you.
