Ajin Watch Order
7 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as AJIN: Demi-Human
The Ajin watch order covers two 13-episode seasons, the three Demi-Human compilation movies, and two OVAs. Start with episodes 1-13, then the trilogy of films - Ajin: Demi-Human Movie 1: Compel, Movie 2: Confront and Movie 3: Collide - which recap and extend the opening arc. OVA episode 1 follows before you move into the second season's episodes 1-13, and OVA episodes 2-3 close the order. Watching in this chronological order keeps the movies and OVAs positioned where they build on the series rather than spoiling it. If you want the correct order including all movies and OVAs, follow the first season, then the three films and first OVA, then the second season and the last two OVA episodes. That sequence takes you through the whole POLYGON PICTURES production without missing the supplementary entries.

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.
