Yeah, that's fair

I forgot this was coming out. I think I'll need to do a full rewatch first.

There's quite a bit before all this, starting with Bakemonogatari.

There are many recommended watch orders like book order, chronological order and broadcast order, but I usually recommend the broadcast order. Partially because of stylistic changes over the years, but mostly because they did this order for a reason

I don't fully agree with this. I'd just follow the broadcast order (though Kizu is a weird one). Considering Hitagi End, I think having Hanamonogatari after that makes more sense, like it was broadcasted. Same with Koyomimonogatari. The end of that ties directly into Owarimonogatari S2, so I would put that between OMG S1 and 2, as broadcasted.

I know the anime doesn't follow the order of the books, but the anime didn't change it up for sake of it, so it has always seemed strange to me to change that order.

Oh shit, that was a really interesting episode. Quite a deviation from the game, but a really cool one. Also really cool to see a Replicant location.

Let's hope so

All that to say that these seem to be the wrong tools for what you’re actually trying to do.

Yeah, seems like it. Thanks for the explanations though.

I have previously professed to hating Clannad so much I couldn't watch past the first couple of episodes.

Damn, that sure is a hot take

Am I? I have no idea, I just use MakeMKV to rip the disc. No idea how else to rip the disc. I'm not doing anything else to them. No Handbrake or whatever.

I'm not, but I can imagine the uploaded hashes might have been compressed

There seem to be Bluray entries in AniDB, but I can't tell if it's the same version. I have UK region Blurays, so maybe that's it.

But I think I'm gonna leave Shoko be and try something else

Interesting. I'll have to look at it again then. I figured that since AniDB also has UBW split between season 1 and 2 (listed as 2014 and 2015) that I had to list them separately too. This does work by the way, but it's just really cluttered. Which metadata provider should I primarily use then if not AniDB or Anilist?

Hopefully it works for my other anime too
