This is a continuation, you would need to watch or read everything before thing (except nisei) to understand it, there is no other way, there will be a recap episode but recaping 150 episodes in 20 minutes is not possible

The anime has kinda dated animation but a banger soundtrack and voice acting

The manga has better art I think I never read it, but there is no banger soundtrack and VA

Pick whichever you prefer

Yes, you can watch it alone without the staff of old people that made all the previous shows.

@CrunchyCrobat Thanks for the info. And how's the old anime faithful to the manga? Was planning to watch or read that, and I don't want to miss something.
Also, from the first impression, is this a worthy successor? Didn't they censor or alter things too much?

@Nemo_Niemand the old anime was not as faithful as the new one, the arcs they did adapt I think are pretty faithful but there is quite a lot of filler and cut content

The new one however has been especially faithful so far to the manga, from what I have heard, it hasn't missed anything even tho people were expecting it to be rushed considering today's anime standards and the length of it

While the old anime is perfectly fine way to see the story, if you don't want to miss anything, read the manga, cause they do reference stuff the later chapters that were cut out from the early part of the anime, making some of the stuff not feel as impactful

@Nemo_Niemand I've been watching anime and reading the manga at the same time.
The anime is kinda faithful but at the same time it's not. It adds some characters, removes others, and it even cut a whole part of one arc I've seen (probably happens more in future episodes). It also has a lot of padding and minor filler and is a lot heavier on the gags compared to the manga.
Luckily, manga chapters are almost all 12-13 pages long, so it's a fast read. So if you can do only one, definitely read the manga.

I've been watching this without having seen any of the others, or read the manga.

I've been enjoying it just fine and plan to go back and watch the others after, I do feel like I'd probably enjoy this more having seen the others. But I don't think it's as sacrilegious as some make it sound to jump in here and then go back afterwards.
I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers
