I've always wondered what the perspective was of someone who watched the anime then tried jumping into :re.

The first season tried to be a faithful adaptation of the manga but still skimmed out on stuff while Root A was an alternate telling of the second half of the manga. Unless you read the manga you really don't get the complete story, especially if you're reading :re. So yeah, reading the first series is recommended.
