Hmm I don’t think there’s any place that has collected meta that far back, I wasn’t around in the fandom then but I don’t think there was all that much meta then anyways! Most of the meta about the first series was probably written once :re came out

I can rec a few places you might be able to check out some old meta:

@tokyoghoultheories- they started this blog after :re had started but quite a lot of their meta is about the first series

I don’t know about full on meta so much, but @makyun was around the fandom back then and was translating parts of the chapters so there should be some interesting fandom discussions from back then. The series ended in September 2014

Other than that, there are definitely a lot of posts that have been written about the old series with the new hindsight we’ve been given in :re. You can try going through @tg-files ‘miscellaneous meta’ in their lists which might have some meta which talk about some of the older stuff.

Hopefully this Friday if everything works out.

Situation: Both of the current head admins will be out for the rest of the week due to travels so I’m temporarily stepping back in as admin. The real problem is that I’ve been inactive since chapter 83. How things are done on TG-files has changed quite a bit since then and I’m hoping the current members will hold my hand and fill me in on everything.
