Another Watch Order
2 entries · · community-maintained
The Another watch order is the 12-episode series followed by the OVA, The Other - Inga. Watch episodes 1-12 first for the full P.A.WORKS horror-mystery, then finish with The Other - Inga, a side story best seen after the main run so its context makes sense. There is only one OVA to slot in, and it belongs at the end rather than mid-series, so the order is straightforward. If you were wondering where to start or how the extra fits, begin with episode one and watch the OVA last. This is the correct order including the OVA, and since the franchise is compact you can take in the complete series and its single bonus episode without any tangled sequencing or prerequisite viewing. It makes for a tidy weekend watch.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
