Only one cour confirmed so far. It's very unlikely they plan to show every case, considering what that would imply. So while not evidence against it being two cour, also not evidence for it.

I imagine they will only make a "sequel" filling in the gaps, so to speak, if the show makes a ton of money. Otherwise, it might end on a conclusive enough note and we'll be left wondering about those other extra adventures.

Your quote broke. But yeah...website also shows 6 blurays at 2 episodes each. Honestly really stupid to do episodes out of order like this, basically hinting at 20+ episodes and then only actually have 1 cour. I'll be pissed if they don't make a S2 to fill it in, in that case. I hate when I know there are gaps in stuff.

non non biyori milking style lol. also the fact that they instantly made the mobile game for this might be aiming for s2

After episode 8, I think it would be wise to move forward instead of doing what they have done so far. If they do jumble the timeline after episode 8, it's not gonna make any sense. It works for the last 7 episodes, but I don't see it working beyond episode 8. The only way now is forward.

Thanks to the OP for this thread. I hope to go back eventually and rewatch the series in case # order to see how it plays out.

Tbh, when you think about it, the material on case 22 (episode 10) isn't related to the final arc.
Makes you think where was that episode originally planned to be at.

ah if only they didn't give up.

It was a speculation based on the number they gave as episode title. The first episode was case 13 and then we went back to case 1 and 2 and so assumed the series will go in chronological order till we end with case 12 as the final episode, but then episode 6 came out and gave us case 18 as the title and soon afterward we speculated it to be 24 cases in total with 2-cour run.

But as we saw, the anime was only 12 episodes leaving 12 cases unseen.

I don't really understand why they did this, did having them out of chronological order add anything to the show? I know it was confusing in parts because of it.

it helps in settling an episodic vibe, which is good if you have late, important-to-the-plot characters (such as Chise.)
also it feels like the director wanted to retain as much moe sol vibe as he can, so that that "gap" between the two worlds (of school girl and of spy world) can exist on all episodes.

but yeah, it's upsetting. Now we will never know what happened when Dorothy found out that her dad was-
Not to mention the rushed final arc that tbh, the oretata ending would have fit very perfectly if it was case 12.

Maybe the 11/12 cases they skipped will become a possible Season 2 finishing with case 24, the whole second season telling a different arc going on at the same time as this season's arc, or maybe I'm just overthinking it...

Ok, so which order should this be watched in? I'd usually just go with airing order, because that's usually how the creators intend for you to view it. But I've seen a lot of people say it was confusing.

Doesn't that mean there's already a beginning and ending?
There might be an episode 25 or something if the only gap we have is a filler for season 2 If it ever happen.

Not sure how episode 1 ended up in the middle of chronological order.
Judging from how theres 24 case theres no doubt there might be another 2 or 3 or perhaps more for case 25 onwards if all missing case count as filler.
Or Director just want to troll us that this filler case doesnt even need to be showed due it marked as filler.
- We didnt get conclusion yet.
- Dorothy never knew her father death scene
- Chisaki Story for her nation
- The injection that used on Episode 10 didnt even explained
- Maybe abit of Beatrice character development?
- Zelda and Duke, the fk this villian actually do? Zelda seems rather like an end game villain that Ange will encounter later. While Duke purpose were never properly explained and all that spy stuff with the tanned skin girl never reached its explanation.

what..? what?

Who with sane mind will watch even this in that supposed "chronological" order ? This whole chrono thing is starting to be similar problem as it is with those weird 3.5x watchers, just don't ... people, stop it.

We don't need the 24 cases. They were there to
1. Show which order the events actually happen, but they were arranged this way to flesh out each character and give a better narrative.
2. Show that they have been on many adventures together, implying that they've bond and etc.

If there is a second season it wouldn't/shouldn't be looking on the past events at all as those will just be filler episodes. It would be spy/action packed with making the princess Queen, hunting down the military remnants and that zelda bitch, finally end with fucking up Normandy Kō.
The queen gets replaced by the princess, the wall comes down.

Charlotte and Ange get married and they live happily ever after. <3
(This will be in an ova after the 2nd season ends to wrap things up)


btw, that last arc felt rushed and came out of nowhere. Took a point off for the unpleasantness it created :(

ok... so here we have another Haruhi when talking about chronological order? Why....

I'm out.

Going to watch it in chronological order. I want to watch and know what I'm watching... or at least try to do it, because there're still cases missing.. -.-"

Thanks for the chronological order of the episodes.

^ me 3 years ago. Just finally decided to rewatch this series and so decided to try the case order to see how it plays out.

Watching it in case order was interesting, it's jumps pretty quick into the plot from the get-go with more of a slow burn for the first few episodes as they build the team (first Princess and Beatrice, then Chise). Some of the interactions are also reworked, such as that money lender who appears in both the laundromat episode and the episode with Dorothy's father (in case order his presence is switched around compared to the original airing order).

The oddest experience was the original 1st episode, which in case order now comes 6th. After the slow build of the cases it kind of comes out of nowhere, with only minimal dialogue, quick cuts between the characters (and Control), culminating in Ange shooting the defector (4 times) which really turns the show dark after some of the more cheery earlier cases. It's also funny to see all the forshadowing that you're now already aware of by following the cases in order.

Overall was an interesting experience to rewatch. If anyone was interested in trying it I'd say it's fun to try as a curiosity but probably after you've watched it in the original airing order first.
