New player looking for info!

Played this game a few years ago,looking to get back into tcgs and figured I'd try it out again! Just wanting some info on where to look for things

1) what's the newest iteration of the anime 2) what tcg format do you reccomend (pros/cons) 3) what's the community like? Should I join a discord 4) if I can't find any irl, what online ways is there to play 5) what's the newest physical sets (in english)

Thought I'd keep it short and sweet,appreciate any advice you have for someone getting into Vanguard!
