Where to start Non Non Biyori: begin with Season 1, episode 1 (2013), then Repeat (2015) and Nonstop (2021). This Non Non Biyori watch order follows the slice-of-life series in story order. Season 1 (Episodes 1-12), Repeat (Episodes 1-12) and Nonstop (Episodes 1-12) are the main TV run. The Okinawa OVA, the Repeat OVA and the Nonstop OVA are optional shorts that sit after their seasons. Non Non Biyori Vacation (2018) is an optional movie set between Repeat and Nonstop. Release order and story order match. No Season 4 has been announced yet. ## Recommended first watch Start with Season 1 (12 episodes), then Repeat (12), then Nonstop (12). The OVAs and the Vacation movie are optional side stories.

A season is split into episode ranges where a movie, OVA, or special sits in the middle of it. Quote that list unless Recommended first watch names a different place to start. Release order further down is the same entries sorted by air date. It is not the default order to quote. Each entry is one line: the title, then type, episodes (start-end, when the order stores a range), run (how many episodes that range covers), essential or optional, aired (YYYY-MM-DD), format (the AniList format of an episode block, when this page already knows it), and note. A field is omitted when this order has no value for it. Minute runtimes are not stored, so none are printed. ## The chronological order 1.
