Never seen any of it. Is this a show where I can watch in release order, or are there prequel movies and flashback episodes and stuff that need to be reordered?

Also, is there a difference depending on where you watch it? Some shows have censored episodes, removed jokes, or of-the-moment "special"episodes. (Like The West Wing's 9/11 episode)

You should watch in the standard release order. When mixing in Angel, there is a recommended order I currently follow in my rewatch, as it helps keeping crossovers in sync: http://josswhedon.blogspot.com/2012/04/buffy-and-angel-episode-viewing-order.html

Came here to post this exact same link.

The spouse and I watched in this order, and you get more out of both shows like this. Neither of us loved Angel as a show or a character (Angelus is a hilarious dickbag, though), so adding in the direct connections to Buffy was the only way we would get through Angel. That and Lorne. And Skip, Skip is the best.

Angel has its highlights too, like Smile Time (season 5 episode 14)
