Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 10 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Date a Live watch order spans three seasons, two OVAs and three movies, and the correct order weaves the extras between the seasons rather than saving them for the end. Begin with Season 1, episodes 1 through 12, then watch the Date to Date OVA. Move into Season 2's ten episodes, followed by the Kurumi Star Festival OVA and the film Mayuri Judgement. Next comes Season 3, another twelve episodes. The two Date A Bullet movies — Dead or Bullet and Nightmare or Queen — round out the list and are best watched last, as they follow the Kurumi-focused spin-off. If you just want the main romance-comedy through-line, the three seasons in order are the spine; the OVAs and Mayuri Judgement are side stories, while the Date A Bullet films branch into their own arc. That is the full including-all-movies-and-OVAs order.
