Look at this. Just wanted to watch a magical girl anime.

First watch for anything is always release order first, even if it's wrong.

The exceptions to the rule are so rare that I can't think of a good example offhand lol

Release order is the only choice, I really don't understand why you'd want to watch things "chronologically" when release order always works - sometimes the only reason a prequel is good is because you know what happens (dramatic irony...).
I saw some insane chart about Tenchi once, where there's an additional wrinkle where there's 3 timelines based on the different creators/authors involved. There you might make some small adjustments to "release order", but it's literally because once you have different directors/creators, then you're starting a "new" release product.

Especially when it comes to shit like Star Wars: The Clone Wars where people are watching individual episodes in chronological order. Doing so much effort to make the show less enjoyable lmao.

I really hate it. It would be like watching Pulp Fiction out of order - there's a REASON that the final act (and final scenes in the diner) take place chronologically BEFORE the middle of the movie. We hear Vincent's speeches to Jules in a different light knowing he will die.

It is best to watch the Fate series by starting with Carnival Phantasm and then stopping.

I feel like it's the same thing as 'how to watch fate' except the answer is really simple watch fate:stay night if you want intended experience and fate:zero if you want chronological experience (with potential confusion and ruined plot twists later)

I was looking at Minky Momo and then saw it had crossover episodes and then I see this relationship graph with all these other '80s magical girl shows.
