High School DxD Watch Order
10 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Highschool DxD, ハイスクールD×D
The High School DxD watch order covers four seasons alongside six OVAs and specials, all placed in the correct sequence. Begin with Episodes 1-12, then the High School DxD Specials and the first OVA follow. Season two's Episodes 1-12 comes next, with the New: Oppai, Tsutsumimasu! OVA sitting just after it. Season three's Episodes 1-12 leads into three Born extras — the Mousou Bakuyou original video, the Yomigaeranai Fushichou OVA, and the Hero Taiikukan-ura no Holy Special — which bridge into the final season, High School DxD Hero. Watching the OVAs and specials in these spots keeps Issei's story in order and picks up the side chapters right where each season leaves off. If you've wondered where an OVA belongs or where to start, this order settles it, folding every extra into its proper place between the main seasons.

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.
