Hiro Mashima’s 2006 manga, Fairy Tail, is currently regarded as one of the best in the fantasy and adventure genres. It’s not for nothing that this is currently one of the best-selling manga works of all time, after all. And as tends to happen with all successful media, in 2009 Fairy Tail got an anime adaptation, which expanded beyond the borders of its source material over the years.

Now, the franchise is made up of over 300 anime episodes, several OVAs, two animated movies, and a special DVD extra. That’s a lot of content to get through, which sometimes scares away those new to Fairy Tail, despite the number of filler episodes they can skip. Once you dive in, though, you’re very unlikely to back out. Mashima just knows how to keep us hooked.

Naturally, those who wish to brave into this fantasy world want to do so in order, as they should. But with the number of OVAs and movies that have been released, it can be difficult for some to find their way. To make life easier for viewers, here you can find all installments in the Fairy Tail anime franchise listed in order of release and chronologically. Whichever one fans choose to go with is totally up to them, as both are considered right.
