How this list is built

Entries are gathered from MyAnimeList’s sequel, prequel, side-story and summary links, starting from Sword Art Online. 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.
