There'll be even more things made clear but it's a show that warrant rewatches like few others. When you watch it with the foreknowledge the story or when you can just focus on other things than what's happening in the foreground, there's lots of tine bits that can be found or only then start making sense.

Nero the Stampede #4
Eh, it was ok, I guess. Can't decide if the two leads have good chemistry or not.
I can sorta agree that the Goliath dude was a bit too ANIME, but Japan gonna Japan.
You should, under no circumstance, touch any KEYAIDS stuff.

God, I teally wish they would import Clannad, Rewrite and Planetarian to NA on vita....
With that being said, of you want to ho straight through with thr canon story, I would say go ahead and watch the anime. It's truly an unforgetabme experience to go through.
Stop...
New game 4
I dunno why but having actual working adults in what is presumably a serious job situation act like your typical moe highschool csst is really rubbing me the wrong way (though not enough to drop this). There's something vaguely disquieting about the casual acceptance of overtime, sleeping under the desk etc.
I know the show's not meant to be as realistic as shirobako (relatively) but... I guess this the future where the tone matched the shirobako prologue instead of immediately hard cutting in that first episode

Macross Plus [END]
The love triangle was just a mess, though I kind of liked the rivalry between the two pilots on the first couple of episodes. Also, I hope there's not a "Sharon's songs defense force" because I found all of her songs terrible.
Anyway, about Macross: Do You Remember Love?, do I watch the original movie or the 2012 remaster? And what are the main differences?
It was alright. For its length, the action scenes seemed really short, but the animation was so good. However, the characters really made the show a lot less enjoyable. When the best character of the show is Guld, you realize something is wrong...
Holy shit, this man was insane. I really don't get why the show tried to make that psycho the good guy so hard, even giving him a heroic death.

Time for Macross Zero.

Macross Plus is a visual treat, but its writing has a lot of issues. The tone isn't indicative of much of the rest of the franchise.
Watch the TV series and then Do You Remember Love. The Macross 2012 thing is something else and not a remaster and should be watched after the original Do You Remember Love film.
I suppose you could watch this before SDF, but it's not necessary. Zero is more closely tied to Frontier anyway and isn't all that great. The only reason to watch Zero before all of the better stuff is if you want something shorter.
I think I'll go for the original story first, because I'm getting sick of all those Zentradi references. Zero can wait a bit more.
Hmm, I actually hoped I could skip the TV series by watching the movie, but I guess I'll have to watch both of them.

Short hair is justice.
Macross: Flash Back 2012 is basically a 30 minute collection of Macross Music videos that was released back in 1987, a few years after the animated TV series ended and after Do You Remember Love in order to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the series. It features both old and new songs with animation from the film in the background.
Macross: Flash Back 2012 also features some new scenes that were intended for the ending of the TV series and DYRL but never got done due to budget and time constraints. It also happens that bits of Flash Back 2012 were added to the end of the Do you Remember Love Blu-ray in order to rectify some of the issues with the way the original theatrical release ended, that being abruptly.
Macross: Do You Remember Love is movie adaptation of the original 1982 TV series, condensing the 36 episode series into an hour and 55 minute film.

Alderamin, 91 Days, Soma S2. The Danganronpas so far aren't the garbage truck on fire that I thought they'd be, so if you played the games there's that. I like the Despair arc more than Hope, but both are good in their own way. Oh, Macross Delta too, but I am saying it based on other people's opinion since I am only one episode in.

Tales of Zestiria and 91 days are Fantastic!
If you watched D.Gray-Man in the past the follow up Hallow is great!
Also like Cornbread suggested Twin Star Exorcists is good fun.

It's decent, it has a problem of the week formula. Give it like 3 episodes and you will know if you will like it or not since it keeps a similar tone throughout the entire thing.
Funimation announced D.Gray-Man Hallow dub cast and Todd Haberkorn(he also plays Natsu) is back as my boy Allen yeaaaaaaaa!

Oh... I really like continuity in my story. I don't like one-and-dones with the rare exception of really high-quality shows like Cowboy Bebop.
Alright, I get what the 2012 Macross is, thankfully it seems like it doesn't really matter.
I'm still not sure if I can watch the DYRL movie before the TV series though. From what I get, it's a retelling on the same way as the Frontier movies. I want to watch more Macross but a 36 episodes series is kind of long, and I'm not the biggest fan of older anime, so I'm not sure if I can tackle it right now or if I'll burn out. As I said, I hoped I could skip the series, or maybe watch it some other time, after the movie.

Its very hilarious!!! The first few episodes are slow but once Rinne, Tsubasa, Mamiya Sakura, Rokumon, and Ageha are together it becomes amazing.
Battery and 91Days are probably the best new anime.
Handa-Kun is solid comedy.
Binan and Dangaronpa are good but sequels.
Stop what? Not recommending cheap, manipulative melodramma that relies on magical diseases and girls acting like 5 years old with dementia? :C
The viewing of the film is supplemented by the prior viewing of the TV series with the idea being that you get to see the landmark scenes reanimated in higher detail and you also get to hear the great music and see the fantastic characters that you've become familiar with and grown to love all over again. Its a great payoff.
You could just watch the film but the key moments won't have an impact on you in my opinion because the story in DYRL is kind of unremarkable at best by itself because it rests on the laurels formed by the relationships molded in the TV series which are constructed over the course of 36 episodes. DYRL's strengths lie with its visuals. You can just watch DYRL, and if you really don't want to watch the TV series then I at least implore you to watch DYRL for the historical nature of it if any, it's a great film, one that everybody interested in anime should at least check out but don't expect the same impact that you'd get if you watched all 36 episodes first. The TV series is really good too!
Keep fighting the good fight.

It's closer to Ranma or Urusei Yatsura than Inuyasha. There's some fighting, but it's primarily a comedy/romantic comedy series. I think the series' premise and hook is weaker than the previous ones, but it still has some nice moments and the heroine is very different from Takahashi's previous ones.

His question was about which way he should experience Clannad, not why you feel he shouldn't watch or play it..
Let him experience it as he wishes...

This may just secretly have this season's best story. If you aren't already, I recommend watching this.

DD [Triple D] Episode 18
Wow new character design is pretty fantastic, and his personality too. I can't wait for his main episode.
This new arc is pretty good, the new stage design is wonderful too bad it wasn't used for the Doctor Gara Tasuku Ryuenji moment though.

Watch the TV show first as you need to understand the story and see the character development during the show. This will get important as the impact of them will be more powerful when you go watch the movie after the show. Also, a lot of the characters in the show won't have much development time in the morning, making them a typical 2 dimensional character with very limited generic personality.
Still, if you have to watch the movie, then go into see the beautiful animation work which still stand the test of time. Either way, a great anime I watch when I was young and still like it even today even though the TV show didn't age too well.
Also, thanks for everyone for the support. I won't say too much except the person have a minor stroke which now affect how their talk and eating a bit. Think of it as getting an injection from your dentist when they're pulling your teeth. That's how it's now. Kinda suck as the person have to go through cancer treatment few years ago. Man...I sometime feel like an asshole person to them.

Mizushima at the top of his game. Bravo. (And I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the actual storyboarder, Heo Jong, who has impressed me with his work on both this and Kuromukuro. Seems like one of P.A. Works' best in-house assets.)
People who complain about anime adaptations being given original or incomplete endings should watch this to get some sense of how difficult it is to figure out how to figure out an ending when you have to balance between many different interests and desires.

You read that right. Go watch it. As a matter of fact everyone should just give episode 1 a shot. That episode was enough to hook me. This is a legitimately solid show.
91 Days - 04
I feel like Avilio's thirst for revenge is going to be his demise. He is so focused on getting his sweet revenge in its due time, that I feel like some contracted killer is going to both get to him and Nero. He's had plenty of chances to kill him off by now, and avoid getting further into this family's mob troubles.

I was reading some post on the bleach ending thread and found this linked from the 4th movie. (it's the reanimated fight between ichigo and Ulquiorra)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUM8Fp7KUyg&app=desktop
I then remembered why I liked Bleach so much up until the end of the Aizen arc..it gave me all the cool and edgy characters fight I wanted with, sincerely, awesome animation. Even the fillers did an awesome job with those!
I'm kinda sad it's gonna end in such a lame way.

Shirobako 24 END
This was basically a victory lap for the show, but in the process it managed to both remind me of how successfully Shirobako handled a very large cast and closed off Miyamori's search for a personal goal with a message of hope, just as Kinoshita would have wanted it. I enjoyed this series as an anime fan, as a creative artist, and as a viewer. It has the right perspective on art - it's not something that can causally ignore the harsher aspects of reality, but at the same time it should not be something that encourages people's depression and cynicism but something that encourages them to have hope. Anime is far from ideal, as is most everything in the world we live in, but that doesn't mean it is worthless. The blood and tears of creative staff can end up being for something worthwhile in the end.
(It's a shame Tsutomu Mizushima sometimes doesn't seem to put the theory stated in this show into practice in his other shows, but that's another discussion!)

Ikta, I'll follow you too being lazy is my way of life. Love this adaptation, I'm looking forward to going past the material from the manga I am aware of. I think maybe 1 or 2 more episodes.
