I mostly listen to soundtrack. I generally listen to songs that sound enchanting, but most of this Top 10 consists of intense and emotional music. I don't typically listen to full albums, but my favourite is Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder.
If you're deliberately peeking into a franchise's wiki or something, then it was probably your fault. But if I'm just randomly spoiled on a random corner of the internet without warning, then it shouldn't be my fault for not having seen it yet. I should be entitled to consume media whenever the hell I want without getting spoiled with no fault of my own. You shouldn't need to indefinitely gate-keep spoilers just because others haven't seen it, but at the bare minimum, just add a damn spoiler tag or give them a warning! It's not that hard.
I have written the outline to a story. While I have written many story outlines before, I actually intend to go through with this idea and turn it into my first novel. So before I start my first draft, I would like some general critiques on the plot outline. My biggest concerns are characterization and themes. I strive to make each chapter distinct and memorable on their own. Also, I'm not a clockmaker myself, so a lot of insight I've received about clocks come from online, so just be warned in case there are any inaccuracies. I plan to conduct more research on clocks before writing the first draft.

This question has likely been done to death, so I apologize in advance. I checked the watch order pinned on the subreddit, but considering it was posted 6 years ago, I want to be extra careful before determining what order to view the series. I have not watched the show, so I apologize if I come off as misinformed when regurgitating my research.
Based on my research, the visual novel apparently has 3 routes (Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, Heaven's Feel). The 2006 anime adaptation covers the Fate route, but based on audience reception, it's apparently a messy and confusing show, so I'm a bit more hesitant to watch it. The Ufotable adaptations apparently cover two of the routes, with Heaven's Feel specifically being adapted into three movies and Fate/Zero being a prequel. Considering their improved animation quality and higher popularity, I think I'll focus on the Ufotable adaptations.
However, this raises another question that I'd like an answer to. What order should I watch these 3 adaptations to provide the most comprehensive and faithful experience to the visual novel? And is there any essential content beyond those 3 adaptations that I've been disregarding entirely?
Sorry if this post comes off as overdone, but I want to be extra sure that I'm navigating this confusing mess of a watch order correctly. Thank you in advance!
Edit: Fixed a mistake. Fate/Zero is a prequel, not an adaptation of the Fate route. Sorry!

Most people disregard New Super Mario Bros 2 for reusing assets and maintaining the same general formula as the other games in the series, but this game is honestly solid. I much prefer it to the DS and Wii games (the first two video games I've ever played) because this game has interesting level design, an addicting coin gimmick, and some fun DLC. At the very least, it should be appreciated alongside the other New Super Mario Bros games for remaining a fun and inventive game, in spite of what little it theoretically brought to the table.
The anime in my watch list are in the bottom tier. I made the mistake of cramming too much anime into my watch list, and now I feel completely lost as to which one I should watch next.
Out of these options, I'm looking for something more experimental and less slow compared to what I usually watch. And if it helps, the last anime I've watched out of this bunch are Madoka Magica, Chainsaw Man, and My Dress-Up Darling. Fullmetal Alchemist looks the most enticing within my watch list, but I still want to put more thought before committing to it.
And feel free to recommend something different as well, but I'd prefer something from my current watch list.
