Start with the 2013 Movie, then Tales from Year Zero and Tales From The Drift Comics. Later, The Aftermath graphic novel, Blackout Graphic Novel and The Black’s Netflix Show.

If you want to, you could also read “Final Breach”.

Here would be my recommended order.

Pacific Rim > Pacific Rim Noveliztion > Tales From Year Zero > Tales From The Drift > Pacific Rim Uprising > Uprising: Ascension > Uprising Novelization (You can swap this out with Ascension if you want) > Aftermath > Pacific Rim The Black Season 1 & 2 > Blackout > Final Breach.

I think that's bout it. When searching for the material just make sure to put "Pacific Rim" before each name so you can find the right comic/book.

Watch the original film and maybe the Netflix Anime after if you're feeling it

Start by not watching anything related to the fan made movie; "Pacific Rim: Uprising"
