Watch season one, and then watch the third movie. First, and second movie are just re-cape’s. The other seasons are their own thing.

With your eyes.

jk, you should just watch the first season (it's on netflix which also had the bd version), then the third rebellion movie. the side stories are in the same universe but not as good and definitely not a must watch

Indeed, you watch the first season first (yay, redundancy!) then movies 1 and 2 are recaps, therefore you might want to leave those for a later rewatch and go watch movie 3 (Rebellion / Hangyaku no Monogatari) and join the movie 4 waiting room. Regarding Magia Record, it's a spin-off mobile game with an anime adaptation that kind of deviated from the original story; I enjoyed it however, it's got its moments :)
If you want to watch it, it should be after the first season + movie 3, albeit it doesn't matter that much honestly.

watch this then the 3rd movie. The first 2 are recaps. Also dont watch the spin-off magia record the fight scenes were good but it was overall bad and didn't have that kick the original had

Not as good as the main series but I personally liked them so I'd say they are worth watching but only for full on fans of the franchise

Go with the tv series first than move to the 3rd movie and wait for the fourth movie to come out.

Watch anime then Movie 3.
Don't bother watching spinoff. It's garbage.

Yeah, unless you really can't get enough of Madoka I wouldn't bother with the spin-off.

Or if you're a fan, you'll just feel emotional pain from one of your favourite series being bastardized.

It's still worth a try and if I really love a franchise no bad rep would prevent me from checking out everything there is.

They are a mobile game spin-off not written by the writer of the series and movie.

The first season is on Crunchy or online sites and the 3rd movie is the sequel which you have to watch online or rent on Amazon.

The first and second movies are recaps.

Side story is a spin off series, which I think I’m one of the only people who like it more than the OG series. It’s not a must watch but I think if you love the Madoka franchise why not watch everything it has to offer?

You watch the og show, than watch the third movie rebellion. Tbh I dont really recomend watching the side store because it makes the time travel stuff not make all that much sense anymore, you can if you want but it's completely optional and not required to understand the main story.

series first, movie 3 second

you could also watch the spin off either after or before movie 3, it certainly has good points, but overall it's kinda mid.

the story is messy and there are WAY too many characters, but the said messy story is still kind of interesting and the production is top notch.

I think if the style is something you loved about madoka you should watch, because if nothing else, it does get that right.
