One film sits between two seasons and is not optional, and one pair of films retells the first arc from scratch.
Watch the 2012 series, then Sword Art Online II, then the film Ordinal Scale, then Alicization. Release order is correct for this franchise. The only real decisions are where the films go and whether to bother with Progressive, and both are easy once somebody tells you.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Covers two arcs, Aincrad in episodes 1 to 14 and Fairy Dance in 15 to 25. The tone shift between them is abrupt and is not a sign you have skipped something.
Three arcs across one run. The recap labelled 14.5 contains no new material, and some streaming services renumber everything after it by one, so expect episode numbers to disagree with your list.
The 2017 film is set between season two and Alicization, and Alicization picks up shortly after it. Treating it as a skippable side film is the most common mistake made with this franchise.
Then what? Then Alicization, 24 episodes, followed by War of Underworld in its two parts, 12 episodes in 2019 and 11 in 2020. That is the current end of the main line until the announced film Integral Domain. The Progressive films are a separate matter: they retell the first Aincrad year in far more detail from Asuna's point of view, they are only two films deep and cover floors 1 and 5, and they are best watched after the 2012 series rather than instead of it.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
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.
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 is the part an account pays for.
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.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
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.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
