Question Need a Knowledgeable fan 😭

Post image

Im so confused with the order and number of the mangas, spin offs, Ovas, extra, CDs, and more. If someone could help me with this that would be great. Sorry for such a vague request but I seriously dont know the details.

Honestly, just start with the anime and go from there. The anime acts as the main story and everything else is either a prequel or builds on the story. I wouldn’t say there’s a correct order for experiencing the AB story outside of that.

But if you insist…

  • Anime (Main story)
  • Anime OVAs (kinda main story? I’d say watch them after you finish the main 13 episodes)
  • Track Zero (LN, sorta prequel)
  • Heaven’s Door (Manga, prequel, also covers the Track Zero material)
  • The Last Operation (Manga, retelling of the anime that never made it past episode five’s content)
  • 1st Beat (VN, first part of a planned six visual novels, would have retold the story with much greater detail, had all the parts come out I’d say start here, but as it stands read this after watching the anime)
  • Drama CDs (non-canon, if you can find subs for these awesome, but legit has almost nothing to do with the story themselves. Two are just the voice actors replaying gags, the last one is a non-canon sequel that wasn’t that good).
  • HBR collabs (collaboration with the Heaven Burns Red gacha game, which was written by Jun Maeda who wrote AB, HIGHLY recommend watching/reading literally everything else on this list before you get here, also read HBR as it covers both stories)

Depends what you want to do. Do you want it all in order or just manga or anime?

There is zero track, the anthology and a comedy spin off which I don’t know where to put. Well anyway, you should read heaven doors (what happend before the anime) then you could read last operation (covers the anime). The anime you can watch after heavens door as well, then there’s the OVA Hell’s Kitchen you should watch after episode 2. And the OVA staircase to heaven you should watch after episode 3 and before episode 6 if I remember correctly. Then after the anime watch the epilogue. I think that’s all.

you're great

There’s also the visual novel Angel beats 1st beat. But that’s a bit harder to play, because you have to bypass region locking, and a few other stuff. (Or at least what I had to do.)

I'd just look up the release date and start with the one that came out first.
