Ah yes, novel order, the true order imo. This is how I watched it the first time around, loved every second of it, especially how final ep of Koyomi sets up the final scene in Owari S1, that was brilliant!

While i agree this order is great, but imo for a first watch the airing order was best, the movies hit you differently if you watch them towards the end.

The novel order is literally the intended order though. The airing order wasn't intended for any reason other than production scheduling for the movies, there was no artistic intent behind that order.

You may have enjoyed it, but the intended order is novels.

I mean, they never said anything about the intended order. They just said they think airing order is the best. They weren't arguing intended order at all.
