Where to start The Irregular at Magic High School: begin with Season 1, episode 1 (2014). Watch Season 1 (Episodes 1-26), the Visitor Arc (Episodes 1-13, 2020) and Season 3 (Episodes 1-13, 2024), then the Yotsuba Succession Arc film (2026). This Irregular at Magic High School watch order follows Tatsuya and Miyuki Shiba in story order. The Reminiscence Arc TV special (2021) is a prequel set three years before Season 1, so it sits first on this list, but it reveals Tatsuya's secret and works best after Season 1. The Honor at Magic High School (2021) retells Season 1's first two arcs from Miyuki's side, and The Girl Who Summons the Stars (2017) is an original film set during the spring break after Season 1; both are optional. The Yotsuba Succession Arc opened in Japan on May 8, 2026 and in North American theaters on November 1, 2026. Part 2 is in production with no date yet.

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.
