| You should watch Gaiden first for the sake of chronology, but if it bothers you to wait until summer (Gaiden last ep airs) just go with Gemini first. |
| Actually, it's probably better to watch Gemini first. Gaiden ruins a lot of the twists and suspense for Gemini (if there was any?) and, in terms of production, comes last. Sure, Gaiden comes before Gemini in the chronological timeline, but Gemini was produced with the idea that the viewers don't know the backstory (which is revealed in Gaiden) to what happened between the two main TV series. It depends on how you want to view it, really. For me, it makes more sense to view them in chronological order of production rather than watching the more recent prequel then proceeding to the actual thing. |

| If you want to be in suspense or be like "OMG how did this happen?" or "How did Hei get this way?", then I would go with Gemini and then watch Gaiden for the answers. |
| 1) watch gemini first then gaiden. i wud say this b/c then the suspense gemini has will sorta lose its appeal. 2) watch gaiden first then gemini i wud say this b/c then u'll understand the plot better |
 |
| watch gemini first, its more fun that way. watching gaiden first wud spoil some of the fun in gemini :) |
 |
| watch gaiden first, unless you dont want gemini to make any sense what so ever and you like going "OH WTF they totally pulled that one out of their *** ". watching gaiden first will clear up 50% of what happens in gemini. The rest is BS anyway |

| i take it back, gemini wont lose its appeal if u watch gaiden first. just dont go in watching gemini with the mindset of a cranky 70 yr old who is ready to criticise negatively at every moment he can. |

superseiyan said: bjay_ang said: Hi guys, I'm just curious having finish season 1. How would you recomend people who finish season 1 watch? Straight away watch Season 2, then come back to the Gaiden series, lilke everybody else? Or watch the Gaiden series first before watching the Season 2? Just a fun post and hope I have feedbacks from many people... This is late, but for the benefit of future internet searchers, or lurkers, I strongly recommend watching Gemini first. The mystery of how Hei is in Gemini and why Yin is like the way she is will be better if you watch Gemini first, and then you have the "aha" moments in Gaiden. This was very useful...I was really confused thanks |

| Lucky me, I stumbled into this thread before watching either. I was under the impression that Gaiden actually came out before Gemini.. |
