Frequently Asked Questions

About 10 hours total across 24 episodes and 2 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 7 days.
Can I skip the movies and OVAs?

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.
