The 'Mountains of Mourning' anthology can be read at almost any point after Warrior's Apprentice, but the framing story is set after Brothers in Arms.
Reading the above - that the anthology can be read at any point after this book, but the frame is set after that book - put me in mind of the ancient times of anime fansubs.
(here I go, dating myself again - does anyone besides me remember AA, and the rants that guy would do over the credits?) Travel with me now to those long lost days of yore, when a little North Carolina-based company named AnimEigo first released the KOR OAVs and movie (there was only one then) on media known as VHS tape and hybrid laserdisk (gasp)!
People would ask whether to watch the OAVs or the movie first, and the particularly fanatical segment of those who were lucky enough to have seen or have a copy of the TV fansubs (no commercial TV release was thought possible then because of the rights hell of the music - quite a coup AnimEigo pulled off there), or watched it in raw Japanese (with or without translation script in hand), told anyone who would listen that the preferred viewing order was to see the TV series first, because they couldn't possibly understand everything going on in the movie if they hadn't (and the OAVs could be seen any time)
No, I don't have my KOR TV fansubs any longer, but I *do* have my Maison Ikkoku fansubs. I've not been able to find a complete, in the correct order, unedited Region 1 release of it.
