Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Watch Order
7 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Arifureta, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest Season 2, Arifureta Season 3, Arifureta Prologue, Arifureta OVA, From Commonplace to World's Strongest
Where to start Arifureta: begin with the short Arifureta: Prologue (2020), then Season 1, episode 1 (2019), Season 2 (2022) and Season 3 (2024-25). This Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest watch order is in story order. Season 1 opens with Hajime Nagumo already trapped in the abyss, so the Prologue, a five-minute prequel showing the class summoning and his fall, goes first. Season 1 (Episodes 1-13), Season 2 (Episodes 1-12) and Season 3 (Episodes 1-16) are the main story. The extras are optional: two Season 1 Blu-ray specials, the Season 2 Blu-ray episode From a Detour to the World's Strongest, and the 2022 OVA The Miraculous Meeting and the Phantasmagorical Adventure, which is set after the Melusine ruins in Season 2. In release order the Prologue comes after Season 1; that works too. No Season 4 has been announced yet.

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.
