Frequently Asked Questions

About 85 hours total across 213 episodes and 3 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 61 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.
