Where to start with Midnight Diner

Fifty episodes and two films. It is an anthology, so you can genuinely start anywhere, which is fortunate because a viewer in America cannot legally start at the beginning.

  1. 1
    Start with the Netflix run, twenty episodes Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

    2016 and 2019, branded Tokyo Stories. This is what you can actually watch in the United States, and entering here costs almost nothing because each episode is self contained.

  2. 2
    The original three seasons, thirty episodes Midnight Diner

    2009 to 2014, and strictly the right place to begin: the Master and the regulars are established here. Not available on any US service, so this is a completist step rather than a practical one.

  3. 3
    The two films Midnight Diner

    Watch after at least one season. The 2015 film in particular assumes you already know the regulars.

Then what? Nothing further has been announced. There are four foreign remakes sharing the brand, which are not part of this.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. If you would rather not do it by hand, a free account syncs every device you sign in on automatically.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet works too, and an account does the same job without you having to remember a code.

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.
