A Prequel to the original anime, but i don't recommend you to start with this, because if you do it you will get spoiled one of the biggest plot twist in the original show. Futhermore, it's not exactly accurate of it, because it's adapted from a manga (same title btw) that retells the original show with some changes and aditions to the story, so it's really a big mistake to start here.
