How to watch DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) in order
Last updated: November 10 2026

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? has five seasons, a side-story series and a movie, so here is the cleanest way to follow Bell Cranel's adventure.
In the city of Orario, gods live among mortals and grant adventurers power to explore a vast underground Dungeon. Bell Cranel, the sole member of the goddess Hestia's tiny Familia, dreams of becoming a hero and of catching up to the legendary swordswoman Aiz Wallenstein. DanMachi, as fans call it, mixes classic dungeon-crawling with heartfelt character growth and some brutal battles.
๐ Release Order
Release order includes the Aiz-focused spin-off Sword Oratoria and the original film Arrow of the Orion.
- DanMachi (2015)
- Sword Oratoria (2017)
- DanMachi: Arrow of the Orion (2019)
- DanMachi II (2019)
- DanMachi III (2020)
- DanMachi IV (2022)
- DanMachi V (2024)
Sword Oratoria retells events from the first season through the eyes of Aiz and the Loki Familia, so it overlaps heavily with Bell's story.
๐ Story Chronology
In story order, Sword Oratoria runs alongside the first season, while Arrow of the Orion is a side adventure set between the first and second seasons.
- DanMachi (2015)
- Sword Oratoria (2017)
- DanMachi: Arrow of the Orion (2019)
- DanMachi II (2019)
- DanMachi III (2020)
- DanMachi IV (2022)
- DanMachi V (2024)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Luckily, release order and chronology line up. Watch Season 1 first, because Sword Oratoria assumes you know Bell and spoils some of his big moments otherwise. The movie is optional but fun, and it is best watched before Season II. From there, keep going in order; Season IV, released in two parts, contains some of the series' most intense arcs and leads directly into Season V.
