Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress watch order
How to watch
Watch the 12-episode series (April–June 2016), then the film The Battle of Unato (May 2019), which is set six months after the series. The two compilation films (December 2016 and January 2017) recap the first and second halves of the series and can be skipped. The Ran and Mumei Ranman videos are promotional clips for a mobile game and a figure, so they are listed under safe to skip, and the Sakaseyasakase music video is an optional extra.
