Angel Beats! Watch Order
3 entries · · community-maintained
The Angel Beats! watch order is the 13-episode series followed by two OVAs, Stairway to Heaven and Hell's Kitchen. Watch episodes 1-13 first, since they carry the core story from this P.A.WORKS production, then finish with the two OVAs as side chapters that expand on the cast. Stairway to Heaven and Hell's Kitchen both sit after the main run, so there is no need to interrupt the series to fit them in. If you were wondering where to start or how the extras slot in, the answer is the full season first and the OVAs last. This is the correct order including both OVAs, and because the franchise is compact you can watch the complete season and its bonus episodes in a single weekend without any complicated sequencing.

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.
