Train to Busan

Three films in one outbreak, sharing a world and not a single character. The animated one came out first at festivals and second in cinemas, and either order works.

Where to start with Train to Busan

Release order and story order are the same thing here, so there is no puzzle to solve. The only real question is whether to open with the animated film or the famous one, and since no character appears in more than one film, nothing is spoiled either way. Most people are better served starting with Train to Busan, because it is the better film and the animated one is bleak in a way that puts people off before they are invested.

  1. 1
    Train to Busan Train to Busan

    Start here unless you specifically want chronology. It is the film the series is named after and the reason anybody looks this up.

  2. 2
    Seoul Station Seoul Station

    The same day, in the city, animated. Watch it before Train to Busan if you want strict chronology, or after if you want the stronger film first. It shares no characters with anything.

  3. 3
    Peninsula Peninsula

    Four years on, larger, and a different kind of film. Last in every order.

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.
