School Days Watch Order
3 entries · · community-maintained
The School Days watch order runs to just 15 entries and is easy to follow: the 12-episode TV series first, then two OVA side stories. Start with Episodes 1-12 to see Makoto's infamous love-triangle drama play out in full, since the main series is one continuous arc that must be watched in sequence. Once you've finished the finale, move on to the standalone extras — the Valentine's Days OVA and the Magical Heart Kokoro OVA — both of which sit outside the main continuity and work as lighter companion pieces. This 2005 adaptation is best watched in this order: the complete TV run first, OVAs afterward, since the specials assume you already know the cast. That's the whole picture for where to start and how the movies-and-OVAs question shakes out — one season plus two OVAs, and nothing else to track down.

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.
