banned-users

it's one of those classics

>track down

some of the random specials

were a pain

Lol

not that much of a pain

figuring out exact order of release was the more annoying part

You know you don't have to watch it in release order right?

That is the way that makes the most sense

oh no

Sandwich debate part 7: anime watch order edition

Yes please

>part 7

lol try part 105

release order is the only thing that makes sense

have piks watch haruhi in every combination

pika*

Oh that math problem anime

what happened to the shows that were supposed to be delayed? Railgun and Kaguya are still releasing on schedule

yes

pika watch every combo

wdym Leg?

saying railgun is releasing on schedule is just misleading

Raigun has had like 4 breaks

weren't they supposed to stop 3 weeks ago?

How many combinations are there for haruhi max

8! combinations

its a famous anime because it was used to solve a combinatorics problem

in that, you put each episode end to end

what is the minimum number of episodes

to watch every possible orderiing

including overlaps

so 1 2 3 2 1 includes 2 orderings

in 5 episodes

So the short answer is

for a 3 episode show

Too many

less then 8!

more then 8

I forget the solution

oh Pika, also

12312 is much better as an example

sure leg

that one is better

it is an amusing math problem solved by 4chan

Quality of anime OPs over time

Baseed on my minor samplesize

that looks about right

not that I have many pre 2013 entries

what happened in 2011

2007, 2011, and 2014 were the years that were outliers

relative to preceding years

skyrim happened

why did it drop so hard

Permutations right

yes

because order matters

2011 jsut had lot of really good shows

which while it doesn't correlate 1:1 to good OPs

it helps

2011 just had a lot of good things all around

2011 was 10 years after the best thing

?

✈️

Ooooh

holy shit

Here's my more autistic graph

with tiers

2011 was STACKED

>fate zero

What the hell came out in 2011

I didn't start actively watching anime until like 2014 or 2015. i've only seen a handful of shows from 2011

hxh, mirai nikki, fate zero, anohana, madoka, steinsgate- according to google anywats

MAL list

but still

Oh so some heavy hitters are in there

That year*

If we count me one off watching kill la kill watching anime then I did not start until 2014 either
