Reported Problem for Season 1
posted by OrangeJuleasSTAFFMOD on December 23, 2020 at 11:08 AM
Item: Season 1
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Episode list is in order of original airdate - TV Tokyo (which would have excluded several episodes since the series was cancelled halfway through). More appropriately would be to put in order of Wowow airing date/episode list, which would have included the remaining sessions, and in a more coherent order in terms of viewing/story.

Hi le-nard. While I disagree with the arrangement (since this series was intended to be watched in a specific order that was absolutely bungled by the original airing), I can understand the logic behind keeping it similar to other shows. That being said, I do believe the episode numbers should be corrected since they were clearly aired out-of-order (i.e. episode 1 would NOT be "Stray Dog Strut", rather it should be "Asteroid Blues" since it very clearly is the introductory episode - this would be like naming a Pilot as episode 8). If we could have that, at least we could sort in that order to be able to enjoy it as was intended by the studio that created it.
However, we are able to sort by alternate Wowow airing (see Banana's response on the original thread), so I'm satisfied with that, though it was not exactly obvious how to view it that way originally.
