Hi Lower_Philosopher_11, it seems like you might be looking for an anime's watch order!
On our [watch order wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/watch_order) you can find suggested orders for a ton of shows (hopefully including the one you're looking for), as well as information that will help you decide on what to watch for the more complicated series *<cough>* Fate *<cough>*.

Release order.
0 just expands on a plot featured in the initial series. It's still a good show, but it doesn't come close to the initial series in brilliance.
