The first run is a hundred and forty two episodes. The second has been going since 1995 and nobody can tell you how many it is, including the people who make it.
Nobody watches this in order and you should not try. Every broadcast is one or two self contained stories about a nine year old in 1970s Shizuoka, and after the first few you have the whole premise. Start wherever you land.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
If you want the version with a number attached to it, this is the one that has one: a hundred and forty two episodes, beginning to end, and it is finished.
Thirty one years of the same thing, still airing on Sunday evenings. There is no entry point and no catching up to do.
If you would rather have one complete thing than an episode, this is the newest film and it stands alone.
Then what? The two 1990s films sit beside the first run. The live action versions retell the same material with actors and are a curiosity rather than part of anything.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.
Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.
All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Yours, on every device you sign in on.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
