Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best order to watch Xiao Li and Hu Po?

Release order. Start with Yichan Xiao Heshang 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 Xiao Li and Hu Po?

About 15 hours total across 38 episodes and 4 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 11 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.
