Took a poll from the anime club at lunch about favorite arcs

I overheard a couple of kids talking about which arc from One Piece they'd skip if they had to and it got me thinking. They were really passionate about Enies Lobby vs Water 7 and I just stood there listening for a good ten minutes. It made me realize I've been watching anime for years but never really broke down a show arc by arc like that. I went home that night and tried it with Attack on Titan, writing down my top 3 arcs and why each one worked or didn't. It actually changed how I pay attention to pacing and character development now. Has anyone else done that kind of deep dive on a series and come out seeing it different?

That moment when you stop just watching and start seeing how things fit together. It's the same way I notice patterns in houses now after years of wiring them. Once you learn to look for the structure underneath everything just hits different.

Yeah, pretty sure I'd just confuse a light switch with a load bearing wall if I tried that kind of deep thinking. (Jury's still out on whether that's a good thing or not.)
