Why This Order
The core of DanMachi is the main series following Bell Cranel and the Hestia Familia, and it runs in a straight line: Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4 (released in two parts, in 2022 and 2023), and Season 5. Every season picks up from the one before, so none of them can be skipped.
Everything else is optional, and it is listed below the divider so the main path stays clear.
Sword Oratoria is a 12-episode spin-off that covers the same period as Season 1 from the side of Ais Wallenstein and the Loki Familia. It works best right after Season 1, when the events it overlaps with are still fresh, and before Season 2. It is not needed to follow Bell's story, but it fills in what the Loki Familia was doing off-screen.
Arrow of the Orion is an anime-original film set between Season 1 and Season 2. It is not part of the light novel story, so nothing in later seasons depends on it.
The three OVAs are single comedy episodes. Watch the hot spring OVA after Season 1, the deserted island OVA after Season 2, and Bath God Forever after Season 3.

DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) Watch Order FAQ
Where should I start with DanMachi?
Start with Season 1 (13 episodes, 2015). It introduces Bell, Hestia and Orario, and every later season builds on it.
What is the correct order to watch DanMachi?
The main story is Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4 Part 1, Season 4 Part 2, and Season 5. If you want the extras, add the hot spring OVA and Sword Oratoria after Season 1, Arrow of the Orion before Season 2, the deserted island OVA after Season 2, and Bath God Forever after Season 3.
When should I watch Sword Oratoria?
After Season 1 and before Season 2. Sword Oratoria covers the same period as Season 1 from the side of Ais Wallenstein and the Loki Familia, so it lands best while Season 1 is fresh. It is optional for following Bell's story.
Where does Arrow of the Orion fit, and is it canon?
It is set between Season 1 and Season 2. The film is an anime-original story rather than an adaptation of the light novels, and nothing in the later seasons depends on it.
Do I need to watch the DanMachi OVAs?
No. All three are standalone comedy episodes. Watch the hot spring OVA after Season 1, the deserted island OVA after Season 2, and Bath God Forever after Season 3.
How many seasons does DanMachi have?
Five, with 74 episodes in total. Season 4 was released in two parts, and some databases list Season 5 as an online release even though it aired on TV, so the table on this page counts them differently. Sword Oratoria is a separate spin-off and is not counted.
Will there be a DanMachi Season 6?
Yes. Season 6 was announced on February 7, 2026, at the series' 10th anniversary event. No release date has been announced.
Are there any DanMachi recap episodes?
Yes. A recap special, Past and Future, aired before Season 2 and retells Season 1. It is not in this list because it adds no new story, and you can skip it.
Where should I start reading after the DanMachi anime?
After Season 5, continue with volume 19 of the light novel. Season 5 covers volumes 16 to 18. The light novels, the Sword Oratoria novels and the manga are all published in English by Yen Press.
Are there any filler episodes in DanMachi?
No. The TV seasons adapt the light novels without filler episodes. The only anime-original story is the film Arrow of the Orion.
Is there an English dub?
Yes. Sentai Filmworks produced the English dub, with Bryson Baugus as Bell and Luci Christian as Hestia. The main cast has stayed the same through Season 5, whose dub began streaming on November 13, 2024.
Where can I watch DanMachi?
As of September 2026, HIDIVE streams all five seasons, the OVAs and Arrow of the Orion, with both subtitles and the English dub. Availability varies by region.
How long does it take to watch DanMachi?
The 74 episodes of the main story take about 29.5 hours. Sword Oratoria adds about 5 hours, and the film and the three OVAs add roughly 2.5 hours more.
