Sound! Euphonium Watch Order
11 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Hibike! Euphonium
The Sound! Euphonium watch order mixes TV seasons with films, and two of the films carry the main story, so the order matters. Start with Season 1 (Episodes 1-13) and Season 2 (Episodes 1-13), which cover Kumiko's first year in the Kitauji High School concert band. The film after each season, Welcome to the Kitauji High School Concert Band and May the Melody Reach You!, is a recap you can skip, and the Ready, Set, Monaka OVA is a light side story. Kumiko's second year is told only in films: Liz and the Blue Bird, an optional spin-off about Mizore and Nozomi, and Our Promise: A Brand New Day, which is essential. The Ensemble Contest special bridges into Season 3 (Episodes 1-13), Kumiko's final year as band president. The two-part Final Movie released in 2026 retells Season 3 with a new script and new scenes, and is optional. Following this chronological order keeps every audition and contest in sequence.

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.
