Good to know
Release order is the story order with the film as an optional recap. Start with series 1 for the torch setup. The S OVA slots between Second and Final as side tales. Final assumes all prior runs. The novels run beyond for readers. The S OVA bridges Second and Final with side tales. The film works as an optional recap for newcomers.
