Beyond the Boundary Watch Order
4 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Kyoukai no Kanata
The Beyond the Boundary watch order pairs the 12-episode series with the Daybreak OVA, the I'll Be Here movie, and a short four-episode follow-up. Open with the Daybreak OVA, then watch the main season's 12 episodes, which form the core of the story. Next comes the Beyond the Boundary -I'll Be Here- movie, followed by the closing four-episode block that wraps the run. Watching in this order keeps the OVA and film in their intended spots rather than tacking them on at the end, so the story flows the way it was meant to. If you want the correct order including all the extras rather than just the TV episodes, this sequence — OVA, series, movie, then the final four episodes — is where each piece belongs along the timeline.

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.
