For example, for Steins;Gate
The chronological order would be to watch the OG series until episode 22 and then watch the special 23b which leads into Steins;Gate 0, then when you finish that you go back and watch 23 and 24 of the OG and then the OVA and then the movie.

Or you could just watch it in release order.

Haruhi tried to enlighten us to nonlinear time but who listened? Try starting a series in reverse and see where that gets you.

It's not a "meme" but it's obviously not intended for a first viewing. Something like Touka Gettan becomes an entirely different show chronologically, since it's presented completely backwards.

First watch through should be release order, after that you can do what you want.

i showed my friend Vinland Saga by starting off with S2 and then moving on to S1 as a "flashback" when Thorfinn reminisces, then continuing with S2
it works well that way, better than original order even

Release order, always.
