How to get into Digimon – The Chronological Order of Digimon
While there’s no true chronological order of Digimon, I often have been asked and I often see people ask how they can get into the series, or what order to watch the Digimon anime in.
I have a list that I put together for the podcast in the past and I’ve posted as an answer to a question on reddit a while ago, but, with the release of Kizuna and the upcoming new Adventure series getting a release, I thought it was time to update the guide on my suggested chronological order of the Digimon series and post it here with a little more detail.
In July 2020, I also recorded a podcast version of this post, check it out here!

Digimon ReArise Review – Work Hard, Play Hard, Gatcha Hard!
Last week, I already recorded a quick Digimon ReArise Review podcast with my initial thoughts, but now I’ve played it a bit more, it’s time for some more in-depth thoughts!
Last week, I recorded a quick Digimon ReArise Review podcast with my initial thoughts,it’s time for some more in-depth thoughts!
As of writing this, I’m level 18 and up to Act 8 of the Main Story, so let’s dive in to our full and somewhat in depth Digimon ReArise Review, now that the game has been out for over a week.
Continue readingRecap, More Like..Recrap: The Best, Dullest, and Worst episode of Digimon Universe Appli Monsters
When Digimon Universe Appli Monsters was first announced I was pessimistic to say the least; the show seemed so different from the Digimon series that I loved as a child and the concept just seemed so dumb and ‘Quick! We need to keep up with YoKai Watch!’. However, from the first episode Appmon surprised and interested me, despite me being not the target demographic. The show quickly captured my heart very quickly with not only a clever and, at times, meta, plot, but endearing and unique characters that made me care from them even if, in Astra’s case, I hated them initially. Appmon really brings you back to the feeling you had when you first sat down to watch Digimon.
Don't Doubt the Shout: The Best, Dullest and Worst episode of Digimon Xros Wars
Xros Wars is a pretty alright season, it has a lot of great ideas that make it one of the most unique seasons of Digimon, unfortunately, for a season so unique, for the most part it tries to play it safe and ends up being a little ‘just okay’ at times. It gets a lot of slack, especially in it’s third season for being formulaic. However, I still love it for its new ideas and attempts to rewrite the Digimon anime formula.
I should point out that this season has the most amount of episodes as I’m combing each of the three parts. Also third part was never released in English.
For those playing at home – May’s Digimon Collection Update (Electronics and Charms Segments)
Curious about storing/displaying your Digimon collection? I’ve got you covered with a few handy tips.
After my post last week, I’ve done some organising and investigating and I’ve found what I’ve been looking for, so here’s an update!
The Great Ghibli Gander #0 – Introduction
I recently got a big ass Totoro tattooed on my thigh and, during the process, I was speaking to the artist about all the different Ghibli films and then I realised that I hadn’t actually seen that many despite owning most of the movies on DVD. This realisation gave me some motivation to actually go through and watch (and rewatch) all of the Studio Ghibli movies.
However, because I’m trying to breathe activity into this blog, I thought I’d write up blog posts for each movie as I watch them.
But before I get into all the movies, I’ll go through a few points first
- First of all, I will be starting at ‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’ (1984) which is labeled as a Studio Ghibli film (and is part of the MadMan Studio Ghibli collection) despite it not actually technically being a Ghibli film as it was released a year before Studio Ghibli was formed. The latest movie is ‘When Marnie Was There’ (2014) which I do not currently own, but hopefully will by the time I’ve watched everything else.
- I will not be watching ‘Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro’ (1979) as it is not labled as a Studio Ghibli film. I own this on DVD as it was released in the ‘Hayou Miyazaki Collection’.
- This is a Studio Ghibli (and Nausicaa) watch through, not Hayou Miyazaki, meaning I will be watching all of the Ghibli movies even if Hayou Miyazaki did not work on them.
- Will I get a tattoo of a character from each movie? Probably actually. I really want a Haku from ‘Spirited Away’.
- I’m intending to hopefully write down some Japanese vocab from each movie and hopefully write up a few things for ‘Wandering Across the Rainbow Chopsticks’ because I really do enjoy writing those, I just don’t often have ideas for it.
- I’m not sure how long this will take, it won’t have any scheduled release as this is for fun. I’d hope I’ve watched everything before ‘How Do You Live?’ (2020).
Finally, for reference, here are the Studio Ghibli DVDs that I currently own:
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
- Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986) ^
- Grave of the Fireflies (1988) *
- My Neighbor Totoro (1988) ^
- Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989) ^
- Only Yesterday (1991) *
- Porco Rosso (1992)
- Ocean Waves (1993) *
- Pom Poko (1994) *
- Whisper of the Heart (1995) *
- Princess Mononoke (1997) ^
- My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999) *
- Spirited Away (2001) ^
- The Cat Returns (2002) *
- Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) ^
- Tales from Earthsea (2006) *
- Ponyo (2008) ^
- The Wind Rises (2013)
Movies that marked with an asterisks (*) means I have purchased them recently and they haven’t arrived yet, but will have arrived by the time I need to cover them. Movies that are marked with a caret (^) means I have seen this movie before.
As for the movies I don’t own because I couldn’t find the Region 4 DVD for a decent price but I will hopefully acquire when I get up to covering them:
- The Secret World of Arrietty’ (2010)
- From Up on Poppy Hill (2011)
- The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013)
- When Marnie Was There (2014)
Hopefully this venture is something that both I and you, the reader, will enjoy!
