After Season 4 (episode 85 overall), continue with light novel volume 26, the beginning of Arc 7. Season 4 covers the Pleiades Watchtower arc in volumes 21–25. For the full context and scenes omitted by the anime, read the earlier novels. The anime follows the published light novel; web novel arc/chapter numbering and details are not interchangeable with light novel volumes.

Watch order

  1. Season 1: the original version and Director’s Cut in 13 long episodes cover the same season. Choose one.
  2. After Season 1: Memory Snow and The Frozen Bond are recommended extras. The Frozen Bond is a prequel, but works better once you know the characters.
  3. Season 2, both parts → Season 3, both parts → Season 4: Loss Arc (11 episodes), then Recapture Arc (8 episodes).
