KonoSuba Watch Order June 2026
Newcomers get tripped up by two things: the Legend of Crimson movie is a mandatory story beat that falls between Season 2 and Season 3 (not an optional side film), while the Megumin 'An Explosion on This Wonderful World!' series is a standalone prequel that can be watched almost any time after Season 2. Below is the full recommended KonoSuba watch order for June 2026, cross-checked against multiple community guides — plus alternative orders and what you can safely skip. Last verified June 27, 2026.

🔀 Alternative orders
With the Megumin 'Explosion' spin-off in place
If you want Megumin's backstory before the main arcs, slot the Explosion spin-off in right after Season 2 rather than after the movie. Both placements work because it's a self-contained prequel.
Season 1 → (OVA) → Season 2 → (OVA) → An Explosion on This Wonderful World! (Megumin prequel) → Legend of Crimson (movie) → Season 3 → (S3 OVAs)
⏭️ What can you skip?
OVAs are optional non-canon bonuses. The Explosion Megumin spin-off is a fun-but-optional prequel. The Legend of Crimson movie is NOT skippable — it's a required story beat between S2 and S3.
📺 Where to stream
- Crunchyroll
❓ FAQ
Where does the Legend of Crimson movie go?
After Season 2 and before Season 3. It adapts light novel volume 5 and Season 3 references its events, so it's essential viewing, not an optional extra.
Is the Megumin 'Explosion' spin-off canon or required?
It's a canon side story (a prequel about Megumin), but it is NOT required to follow the main KonoSuba plot. It's a fun optional watch.
Do I watch the Explosion spin-off before or after Season 2?
After. Although it's chronologically a prequel, it hits best once you've met Megumin in the main series — most fans watch it after Season 2 or after the Legend of Crimson movie.
Is there a Season 4?
Yes. Season 4 was officially confirmed on January 13, 2026 during the franchise's 10th-anniversary event, with Studio Drive returning. No firm release date yet as of July 2026 (mid-to-late 2026 is the expected window).
Where can I stream KonoSuba?
Crunchyroll carries the whole franchise — Seasons 1-3, the Legend of Crimson movie, the Explosion spin-off, and the OVAs.
How many episodes total?
43 TV episodes across the main series and spin-off: Season 1 (10) + Season 2 (10) + Explosion spin-off (12) + Season 3 (11), plus the Legend of Crimson movie and several optional OVAs.
