Hidamari Sketch
Japanese anime series sometimes present their plot in nonlinear order. In "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", for example, the episodes were deliberately aired in non-chronological order. A more nonlinear example is "Baccano!", where every scene is displayed in non-chronological order, with most scenes taking place at various times during the early 1930s and some scenes taking place before (extending back to the 18th century) and after (extending forward to the 21st century). Other examples include "Durarara!!", "Monogatari Series", "Yami to Bōshi to Hon no Tabibito", "Touka Gettan", "Rental Magica", "Ergo Proxy", "Fullmetal Alchemist," "Axis Powers Hetalia", "Hidamari Sketch", "Mekakucity Actors", "Princess Principal", and (partly) "Boogiepop Phantom".
