Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best order to watch Arknights?

Release order. Start with Arknights and go down the list. This is how the creators intended the story to unfold — later entries build on what came before, and watching out of order can spoil key reveals.

How long does it take to watch all of Arknights?

About 19 hours total across 48 episodes and 9 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 14 days.

Can I skip the movies and OVAs?

This franchise is mostly main series content with no standalone movies or OVAs to worry about.

Release order or chronological order?

Go with release order for your first time through. Chronological can be tempting, but shows are written with release order in mind — reveals hit harder and character arcs make more sense. Save chronological for a rewatch if you want a different perspective.
