What is the difference between music video - novel - manga - anime? This series is hella confusing. I don't want to watch the music videos first cause they are even harder to understand so other than that where should I start?

Found this on reddit that may help you out.

So the light novels and manga are two different stories, the anime is not a adaptation but the "ending" of the story, the chronological order is:

Manga route 2> LN >Manga route 1 > Anime

The music is in-between and around the other parts.

I would recommend you start by reading the novel but you should read both.

Also I am going to defend the anime here, yes it makes no sense, but the problem is that you have no context for 80% of it, my recommendation is to read the novels and manga and go back to watch the anime.

This is my recommended listening/reading order, is complicated and weird, but I truly believe is the best way to experience the Kagerou project

1- Songs (No particular order) : Jinzou Enemy, kisaragi attention, Kagerou daze, mekakushi code, shounen brave, yanobashi deceive, kussou forest, children's record

2- Light novels - Volumes 1 to 3

3- Manga - Chapters 1 to 17 (Do not read Chapter 18)

4-Songs (No particular Order) - Tomei answer, Ayano koufuku riron, headphone actor, ene no dennou kikou, shinigami record, yukeei esterday, dead and seek

5- Manga - Chapter 18

6- Song - Outer science

7- Light Novels - Rest of the volumes

8- Songs (No particular Order) - Otsukimi Recital, konoha no Sekaijijou, My funny weekend, Goujou Rain, lost time memory

9- Manga - Rest of the Chapters

10- Songs (No particular Order) - Marry no kakuusekai , Additional memory, imagination reload, lost day hour

11- Mekakucity Actors ( Anime) - All episodes

12- Songs (No particular Order) - Summertime memory, Shissou word, Remind blue, Fireworks in the summer, Dayz(Daze)


sorry its honestly been a while now since i've seen it lol.
