Why This Order
Mashle is one continuous story. Season 1 covers Mash's enrollment at magic school, and Season 2, subtitled The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc, picks up from its final scene, so there is nothing to rearrange.
The only extra is a recap special numbered 6.5 that aired midway through Season 1. It retells the first six episodes and is not listed here; the FAQ covers it.
Season 3 was confirmed in December 2025 and is set for January 2027. It is listed under Coming Soon so the totals above the line only count what you can watch today.
