Here's how that works in anime. Schwarzesmarken (1983) > First 2 episode of Total Eclipse (August 15, 1998) > First episode of Alternative (Sept 15, 1998) > Total Eclipse Ep 3 and so on (May-Sept 21, 2001) > Alternative Ep 2 and so on (Oct 22, 2001-Jan 1, 2002) = Total Eclipse later original stories which has no anime. Therefore, Total Eclipse original later stories and this anime happens around the same timeframe.

So no need to get confused whether it's a remake, retell, or another reality.

I know how that feels, but at least all these shows are within the same universe.

It depends, if you want a better first experience of the story then yes but if you are only worried about not understanding the plot it's not really needed since the next few episodes will probably explain everything.

I'd say play the visual novel instead of the Anime. You don't have to though.

If you have the power of reading, go ahead, but it's not require.

If you want anything that could be called even a remotely good experience, I'd recommend it. Watching this standalone would be the same as skipping to the last season of any other series.

Ok muv fan here, it's way more simple than this I swear lol. Those are all spin off anime that will ultimately not mean anything in the main Alternative storyline. If you want to be caught up for Alt, you can watch the official playthroughs of Extra and then Unlimited on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MuvLuvSeries/videos

Watch Extra and then Unlimited and you'll be caught up.
