Tonari no Seki-kun Watch Order
3 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time
The Tonari no Seki-kun watch order opens with the original OVA, moves through all 21 episodes, and closes with a set of specials, the full correct sequence in one place. Because the episodes are short, gag-driven vignettes about Yokoi watching Seki's increasingly elaborate desk antics, there is no ongoing plot to spoil, so the exact order matters less than usual, but the sequence above is the recommended chronological way through. New viewers can comfortably start with the Tonari no Seki-kun OVA to get a feel for the format, then continue into Episode 1. The specials at the end collect additional shorts and work as a bonus once you have finished the main run. Everything here is quick to watch, and this list gathers the OVA, the full 21-episode block, and the specials together so you know exactly where to begin and what to watch next, including all the extras.

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.
