Gou and Sotsu are anime original - they don't have VN versions.

Also, while chapters 1-8 make up the original main story, there are a handful of side-story chapters (including the "Saikoroshi" epilogue chapter) from Rei and Hou that haven't been released yet in English, so the Mangagamer release isn't complete yet either. No news on when/if Rei and Hou will make it onto Steam, so far as I know...

yea all i'm seeing is previous info for the question arcs on the vn on here. no new info. hadn't really checked to see if the episode when Hanyū is visible to everyone is on her or not.

Chapters 5-8 cover Kai (i.e. the "Answer" arcs), which is where Hanyuu is introduced.

Like I said, there is no VN version for the material from Gou and Sotsu.

The arcs here cover the original series and its sequel Kai (original Japanese release 2002-2006), which were covered by the 2006-07 anime adaptations. The arcs in Rei and Hou exist in VN form, but haven't been released on Steam yet.

But Gou and Sotsu are entirely anime original. Those chapters don't exist in VN form, even in Japanese.

Edit: Obviously, I can't stop you, but I don't recommend that watch order. Each arc builds on the previous ones even if they don't directly "answer" the one preceding them, so shuffling the watch order around is liable to just confuse you unless you're already very familiar with the series.

Seconding what Veltharis said: please don't watch them out of order like that. They aren't meant to be watched like that. There is more going on than just one arc answering another, and you're liable to be both confused and spoiled.

it isn't confusing at all.
I know some people who are as confused with serial experiments lain and Evangelion than this.

I've watched the 2006-07 version of the anime before they stopped it.

It's the best way I could understand it.

I would rather have a direct timeline complete rather then jump in and out of time lines.
The questions and answers should be in sequence to each other rather than waiting to get answers arcs ever other question arcs.
Every answer arcs spoil multiple question arcs, bcuz it assumes you read them in order. Cmon trust the author...
