Watch Order
While Chaos Dragon is a standalone series and doesn’t require a specific viewing order, understanding its unique origins can greatly enhance your appreciation of the show. The anime is an adaptation of a tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) called “Red Dragon.” This unique TRPG project involved a star-studded lineup of renowned writers, including Gen Urobuchi, Kinoko Nasu, Izuki Kougyoku, and Ryogo Narita. Each participant in the TRPG created a character, and the entire narrative of “Red Dragon” — and subsequently Chaos Dragon — evolved organically from their interactive gameplay. This collaborative, improvisational backbone gives the series its distinct flair.
