Watching Digimon can be confusing. The franchise has a variety of anime series and movie offerings and not all of them are connected. To help you conquer this daunting task we’ve crafted a watch order for Digimon and all of its movies.
How To Watch Digimon and Its Movies in Order
Digimon is a franchise that has multiple universes that aren’t all connected. Ultimately, the story that is considered the core adventure, and the one you’ll remember from your childhood is Digimon Adventure.
We recommend starting with Digimon Adventure and then continuing on with the remainder of the franchise. Most of the Digimon series and shorts are not connected to any other so you can basically watch them in whatever order you like. For the series that do have connected shorts, we’ve included watch orders specifically for them below.
