Watch Kuromukuro instead.

After some of the Evangelion talk recently I felt the need to watch it myself again and, god damn, that second episode is so good. Got legit chills two times.
Kuromukuro is a better show. In fact one of the most underrated.

I won't say it's underrated, it's more like very few people notice right now due to Netflix's deal.

This is weird, I started The Vision of Escaflowne, but this show does not match the description in MAL...
I wanted the fantasy show, not the mecha one....

I'm surprised how many of the details I've actually forgotten in 2-3 years. Makes a rewatch even better actually, especially since my appreciation for great shows has grown I'd argue.

This doesn't make sense, the events don't match up at all with the episode synopsis...... uughh....
I have no idea what the hell that was....
Next try, I'm gonna give the dub a whirl...
Still waiting for Cornbread to watch Disappearance.
Yea, I have read and saw some analysis of the show and the ending after watching and I really came to appreciate what it did. I'm curious to see how my experience would be now.

Recently did this and cemented the fact in my mind that the original TV show is a towering masterpiece of its era that not enough people fully appreciate due to all the marketing shit and posterior (lesser) material over the years clouding judgment.

Is that the movie, or a separate series? Never mind, it's the separate series...

Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Yup did it recently too. Completely forgot about some of the wackier, fun-time adventure episodes. Fuck anyone who thinks Eva is all doom and gloom.
Reminds me i really, really want to start re-watching CardCaptor Sakura in time for the new manga.
The movie and spin-off both have Disappearance in the name. I think they meant the movie.
Movie, Haruhi!

There are no episode synopses on MAL for Escaflowne, and the first episode has (if I recall correctly) no mecha in it at all.
The MAL synopsis is:
All of this happens in the first two episodes. Are you sure you're watching the right show?
Please be aware the runtime is longer than Inception.

No, I was watching the wrong one... But I corrected that:
Almost 3 hours!!!!! WTF is that? Should have just made it another season....
The Vision of Escaflowne ep.1-2
There are definitely some interesting things going on in this one. The first episode comes off as a as a lighthearted and fun story with some drama, then that second episode gets dark really, really fast... It almost catches you off-guard because they are still introducing characters and it's like a continued prologue from episode 1. Sorry, the "mofu" in this series is going to get annoying really quick, because you can already tell she is taking the roll of the childhood friend to create a painful love triangle as the prince/king falls for Hitomi and she gets pushed aside like a true childhood friend always does.....
Intereting stuff, but I may be over-doing it with Escaflowne, Brotherhood and Katanagatari all at the same time...

Ha ha ha, wow, that title card drop was perfect. Actually, the whole episode was perfect. Just great execution of an entertaining scenario which nailed all the gags. Rino is another great character.
Everything in the film after pressing "Enter" felt like a waste of time, the series getting too caught up in its own mythology.

Dang!
Interesting setting. Liking it so far. Having the same OP band as Non Non Biyori also helps the mood (or the other way around, but yeah)

Kuromukuro is the second best produced P.A. Works show, after Eccentric Family.

The admins of Legendary Age are probably some of the worst ever. The most bizarre thing here is that they clearly have backups of accounts that have been deleted, so they make our "heroes" go through this awful convoluted process that may or may not have resulted in ALL of them being banned in order to get an account back.
Rusian is such an idiot. She straight up asks him, "what are we if we aren't married now?" and he's like UH DUH JUST FRIENDS when he's been trying for the last few days to make her his girlfriend!!
Also I should have known not to expect a kiss when they re-marry in the chapel. THEY DON'T EVEN KISS AT THEIR WEDDING WTF what is this, some kind of ecchi anime?\
AAAAAAA

Isn't Redline on Hulu?
Of course. But she was best girl in that show. Much better than boring quiet girl.
man, you always seem so serious, this "ha ha ha" feels so weird to read
Hm, yes I kind of get where you're coming from
but it wasn't entirely that, it did intertwine with some of the characters i.e. Kyon and Nagato while it concluded with reassuring Nagato's relationship with them. Admittedly, that isn't a lot to justify on grounds of characters or drama but for me, the show's appeal had been the lore and Haruhi's personality in general (not her bullying side mind you) - adding even that bit of characterization and drama with great tone and pace hit all the checks for me.
Yeah but I saw it a few weeks back.
Might just end up watching Deen's version of UBW.

I don't know, I was routing for the winner once everything was revealed and it started playing out. It was a tough call though..
Kuromukuro - 1-7
I was worried how slow this progresses, but then I read that it'll be a 26 eps affair which is a relief.
Liking it so far. The story and setting isn't anything new or that interesting, but I love all the characters and its lighthearted tone.
The fact that it never delve too much into one specific genre trope really works in its favor.

There's still time until the end of the month:

Although judging by the reception of the unique-to-theaters '4DX experience' version, I wouldn't be surprised if this film ends up as an habitual of the most requested ones at DREAMPASS, making it available again shortly after this... even when it already reached an enviable longevity on show.

Dammit now I'm even more annoyed about the lack of word on when Netflix is streaming this internationally

I wish I could have enjoyed the 4DX experience of Girls und Panzer.
You'll regret it.

Believe it or not, I do know how to laugh!
I can see how people big into Haruhi's lore would like the last section of the movie, but I was never much into that. It just felt like the main relational conflict of the film had reached a resolution, but the denouement had to be dragged out so it could play at Back to the Future II.
Based on its past licenses, it's safe to say international Netflix will begin streaming Kuromukuro a few weeks after it finishes airing in Japan, which would be sometime in October.
What I wish is to have bailed out earlier of the latest spoilery /ak/ thread! :-/
We obsessed people in general can't wait enough to enjoy the best quality experience, because any bad stream will suffice in the end...

This one has been on my PTW list for ever now, so I'm interested to see your reactions on it...
