Strict Digimon series airing order

A list of Mamoru Hosoda fully directed movies.

A list of Anime that give me a lot of serotonin. Can include special interest/comfort ones.

I could watch these over and over and not get tired.

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.

Giant monsters.

For more, check out "Largest groups" on Chiaki: https://chiaki.site/?/tools/watch_order_groups/type/large
(Note: Count may not be always accurate since they mostly rely on the 'Related Entries' in anime pages and not all related entries listed are really part of some franchises.)

I've also included:
- "Watch order guides" by other users I find helpful and for convenience; number of entries included.
- Some clubs (mostly the ones with the most members), if you want to join one and maybe revive some.
- Anime Watching Challenges by the Anime Watching Challenges Club [AWCc] (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=70446); also check AWCc's Hall of Fame [HoF] (https://anime.jhiday.net/hof/).
- Live action adaptations (Ctrl + F in the [[ Live Action Adaptations ]] club (https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5450) or use their script).

I'll be updating this from time to time so the entries will change.

*Inspired by this thread: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2032254 (Which anime franchise has the most MAL entries?)

Legend:
🥇🥈🥉 - Gold, Silver, Bronze = Top 3
🔺 - Moved Up (risen in the rankings with new addition/s in the DB)
🔻 - Moved Down (something was removed in the DB)
✔️ - Description Box is up-to-date. Other stacks (number of entries, title change), challenges and clubs (status/activity) checked.
❗️WIP! - Work in progress (means I'm working on a watch order guide stack)

---

P.S. Everything would look clean if they just enable BBCode for stacks.

P.P.S. I made a second stack for 51-100. So I could just move some of the entries to the other stack instead of really deleting them.

Also, watch out for Pororo! He'll slowly climb to the top 10. Alas! The penguin is now ranked 23rd. LOL.

[📌 Last Updated: April 12, 2025]

A compilation of animes that aired on Brazil - when I was a kid (as far as I could remember).

Anime that were used for foreign markets to mix-match together and redub in order to create a wholly original plotline. Also known as Macekre for Carl Macek, creator of the most notable example of this practice, Robotech.

A list consisting of anime that convey a sense or feeling of what childhood is or could be. It's supposed to be somewhat of a childhood/nostalgia archive in it's entirety.

Note: The list is about childhood, not anime we watched when we were children. It does not necessarily contain your typical Miyazaki/Ghibli movies nor is it child-friendly by every means.

There have been some database changes that affect the listing. The ones I have noticed include title and type.

Are you a fan of paleontology? In this list you can find different anime productions with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.
