I have recently been binge-watching the A Certain Magical Index series on Crunchyroll. It's a long series with a weird timeline, mainly due to the fact that the airing date and actual event timeline in the show don't line up perfectly. However since there are many shows like this, there is a simplified viewing order for new viewers that's purpose is to be able to watch it chronologically enough without messing up the airing order too much, and getting the best experience possible.
