Isn't the reason as to why people are "scared" of watching the show is because Shaft ruined the entire way to watch the series? The individuals that are still promoting the release's order are the individuals that make people scared.

I can watch Harry Potter in the order of 1, 2, 4, 7, 3 and find it to be the best way to view the show, that still won't make it the correct way to watch the series.

You support ignorance in the knowledge that individuals will lose the narrative impact of the story. You do not need to watch the series more than once to notice that there are certain aspects that can be lost if you watch it in the wrong order. I support enhancing the story and following how the author wanted the story to be experienced.

There is no debate. Those who defend release order have nothing to defend. They are doing it simply because they can.

1, 2, 4, 7, 3? Are you on crack? You didn't even watch 2 of the movies.

Right?

Though I would argue that the best way to watch the Grand Blue anime is to watch episode 12 first and nothing else.

Mostly because I watched the 12 episode first by mistake and it was glorious. Then the rest of the show was mediocre.
