The Air: The Motion Picture watch order lists the film first, followed by the 13-episode television series. Begin with Air: The Motion Picture, the 2005 Toei Animation feature, then continue into episodes 1-13 for the fuller television telling of the same story. With only two entries - one movie and one season - there is no complicated sequencing here; the order simply places the film ahead of the series. If you were wondering where to start or how the movie and show relate, follow them in this sequence to take in both adaptations of the same emotional drama. It is a short franchise overall, so watching the feature and then the complete series back to back makes for a manageable, self-contained viewing with nothing else to slot in.
