Digimon Adventure tri. 1: Saikai

Strict Digimon series airing order

Yeah...I was a Digimon kid growing up. I can't even begin to count how many times I watched and rewatched the Digimon Movie on VHS back in the day.

This guide is for all my fellow 90's kids who are looking for that sweet, sweet nostalgia, or just anyone else who is curious about the series. I've included everything in the core franchise, though I will be leaving out the odd few shorts that just don't really add anything.

So without further ado, heres the watch order for everything Digimon.

A comprehensive watch order of the Digimon series, which includes every entry of the Digimon franchise.

Digimon Adventure: (reboot of the original series).

Spin-off Series:
Just follow everything that hasn't been listed here.

What the title says, any anime which has over 1,000 fanfics on AO3. (Note: anime with 10,000+ fics are on their own list, so if you see anything that’s super popular that's missing, that’s why) And since the tagging system on AO3 is a bit inconsistent I made a few choices:
For anime with separate tag categories for the manga and anime adaptation, I only took the fic number for the anime entry, I did not add them together. For anime and manga which have already been lumped together under one tag I used that number.

For anime with reboots where the reboot and the original got lumped together I chose the version with the most members on myanimelist to represent it (like Fruits Basket)

For franchises which have all been lumped under one tag, I chose the earliest tv series installment of the series to represent it. (for example Gundam, or Lupin III). But if an individual installment of that franchise tagged separately also reached 1,000 fics by itself it also got included. (like Gundam Wing)
Exceptions to this rule are the Fate franchise and Yugioh, because I don’t want to make another list just to squeeze those in lmao. Here are the individual installments of those which have all reached 1,000:
Fate/Grand Order
Fate/Zero
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V

And if you notice that I’ve missed anything feel free to let me know

Sequels to animes that took years to release. This list is informative and is not intended to be critical of these anime.

Thanks to the user eblf2013 for collaborating.

Every anime featuring the famous line that goes ''What would you prefer first? Dinner? Bath? Or maybe... meee?'' Wording doesn't have to be exact, nor the options, but it must be clear that it is what this is referencing. Entries are in alphabetical order.

Hentai will not be included, but anything else goes. If you notice an entry is missing please feel free to contact me on MAL! Same thing if an entry doesn't belong here, I haven't personally watched all of them after all :)

Titles with a rating of 8.0 or higher on MAL that are available to stream through Crunchyroll.

*this does not include all of the +8.0 rated anime that you can stream on Crunchyroll
**for series, only the first season will be added
***if the rating is less than 8.0 it means one of the seasons/movies in the series had a rating of +8.0

Sci-Fi anime where technology in a not-so distant future has advanced so much, it almost seems magical.
