With that covered, let’s get into my recommended chronological order of Digimon, how each of the seasons connect, and how I would recommend a new fan to experience the series to get into it. If you’re just looking for the easiest way to get into the franchise in general and don’t really want to watch everything suggested in the chronological order of Digimon as you don’t really want to watch the anime, the Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is a good way to go. To check what streaming services have what season available, check out because.moe. I’ve also mentioned which seasons/movies weren’t released in English.įor information about adding subtitles (to the movies or Appmon, for example), there’s a guide here. I’m not adding ALL of the games and manga as, besides the WonderSwan games, none really tie into the anime much so they don’t really have much to do with how I’d recommend chronological order of Digimon. The first Wonderswan game was released in English but it’s rare/expensive. The Wonderswan and games can be found on eBay, JapanYouWant, and FromJapan. The movies in English are currently lost in time, but a nice Japanese BluRay set exists with the movies on them. Seasons 1-5 have been released in English on DVD. Before we start, just a brief explanation of this guide I’ve bolded the anime/movies, italicised CD dramas, and the WonderSwan games (and the one short story) have no formattingįor the CD Dramas, I’ve included links to their translations, for the WS games, Beyond Yesterday is a fantastic resource for the plot and transcript.
