Where the movies, OVAs and specials fit

Extras are placed by premiere date. “Premiered during” names the TV series that had most recently started, so watch it up to that point first. Main-story extras are linked as sequels or prequels; side stories are optional; recaps retell episodes you have already seen.

How this list is built

Entries are gathered from MyAnimeList’s sequel, prequel, side-story and summary links, starting from Digimon: The Movie. They are then sorted by original premiere date. Main-story entries are joined by sequel and prequel links. Everything else is marked as a side story or recap so you can skip it.

Watch time uses each entry’s listed runtime. Ongoing series count only the episodes aired so far, and unannounced entries count as zero until they premiere.
