I really liked the original movie, I’m not interested at all in the live action, but there seem to be so many anime tv shows and movies that I’m at a loss where to start except hopping through chronologically by production.
I’d like to avoid repeats, so I don’t really care about ovas.
I watched the original, I want to continue that story, but I have no idea if that’s how the story goes in all the subsequent productions I’m seeing.
so please without spoiling anything, explain which path I should take.
The tv series from the early 2000s is a different timeline unconnected to the original movies, just sharing characters and setting. The more recent movies from a few years ago are prequels. Really you could watch in any order, but probably I’d recommend watching in order of release.
okay, great to know. thanks.
I’d go with this, and look into each and read a little about them to see if the art styles and stories interest you and dig in from there, rather than approaching it as a wholly cohesive series.
Personally I liked the original movie and the Stand Alone Complex/2nd Gig series, but didn’t care as much for Arise (the OVA cut). Can’t speak to other parts as I haven’t seen them.
