It's tagged as a prequel and I haven't seen the series yet, so can I start with this?

It’s best to watch it after season 1 because it will explain a lot of the mysteries that were built up during season 1. It would be sort of spoiling yourself so I’d recommend watching season 1 first.

Fun fact the author actually released this novel after season 1 and before season 2 so thats the best time to watch it.

1) Season 1

2) Reminiscence

3) Season 2

It spoils part of the MCs' powers, and has a character that shows up after the events of the first or second season (not sure which one atm), so I'd recommend watching this *after* watching the stuff that came out before this.

Watch this as a sequel to season 1, even if it’s in a ”prequel” setting, there is many elements and information that may be required, probably be spoiled too. Also, this is an adaptation from a later volume (if not mistaken, adapted from volume 8)

No no no, I didn't even watch it between the 2 seasons or even before the two of them. Watch it after the S2 Visitor Arc, it is better this way, for me of course. Your choice.

And yup, this is more or less said as a later volume and watching it like you would create your own chronological series would ruin the entire process that the author originally planned for it.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Watch it after season 1 or season 2… you need some prior information to understand some things that are going on

it should be as you said, but due to a key part being cut out for this special as well as the lead in implying that it took place on a trip after season 2, it can be watched before season one or after season 2

So they made it smoothly fit from S2 to the movie and you don't lose anything in S2 from not having watched this movie ?
