TV series: You have to skip the first season, it's a slow start and kinda shit. Go back to it later, except for S01E07 and 08, those are necessary to understand the story arc.
In S02, watch E03,04,05,08,11 and 02 in that order. Still drags on but there are some memorable moments. S03 is great. Except for the ending, skip that. And it all goes downhill starting in S04.
But if you stick with it, S07 is bearable again.

Best series of all time!

With American comics, it's not even the shattered continuity, it's that availability is a mess because some of the franchises are so ancient and collectible.

If I want to read through One Piece from the 1997 start, my library probably has/can inter-library loan all 105 volumes, or I can go to mainstream retailers and get any I'm missing without a huge fracas.

If I want to read Batman from the 1940 start, I'd better hope some of the rarer issues come up at auction in the near future AND that I can mortgage my house to afford them.

I'm amazed they never put out a DVD-ROM collection that's "Everything Marvel/DC did prior to, say, 1990, as PDF scans" just so mere mortals have a chance to enjoy the experience of completionism.

DO NOT ASK ABOUT HOW TO WATCH FATE/MONOGATARI

Oh, but the power of American superhero comics is that you can just start reading them wherever. Sure, there is deeper lore, but you're not required to know all that. There's this bat-dude, see? He punches crooks and does awesome shit in the night. There's also a bunch of wacky villains. See? Just go read it, you'll pick up the rest of the details as you go along!

And I also love a lot of European comics because most often they have a pretty good balance between complex writing and manageable size. And publishers here tend to be more lenient toward artists making one-shot kind of comics, without any expectations that it'll become the next endless blockbuster cash-cow property.

Still, I do like how most of the manga series are like "OK, here's the beginning, here's 20 or whatever volumes, here's the end."

Make sure you watch the corrected DVD order because Fox thought more action would be better and put the 2nd episode first, the first episode 11th and totally fucked any hope for a second season...

And that's why Comics < Manga

and I say that as someone who reads more Comics than she does Mangas (Not really fond of anime aside from specific examples)

He originally appeared as a minor villain in Captainman #743, so you'd have to read that first. And the previous issues, for context.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, it's in a very weird "how to progress further" dillema after Toriyama's death. Various people have the rights for different purposes; and want to do different things with the franchise.

I just hope it doesn't end up like LOTR franchise where they cash out for shit ass products that doesnt respect its source material.

Let me introduce you to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Once comics start going public domain, I hope the first thing people do is release them as chapters

Jujutsu kaisen has entered the chat.

(But only if you are some random website who thinks the original release timeline isn't "the correct way")
