Buffy and Angel watch order?

The main advantage of the SA Guide is that it always makes sure you're watching the episodes in an order that makes the most sense for the both stories. The downside is that it's ordered to also keep the disc switching to a minimum, which means long stretches of either one show or the other. There is a version made for reactors that does more alternating back and forth between shows but it means more work for you since you're switching more often.

Angel is going to count as a Buffy episode. One episode of each show a week.

safae mokadem

is Angel still going to count as a Buffy episode or are you increasing your output?

Slayalive reactors guide is the best one

Nichole Hutchison

I agree with Flora, reactors guide is best, even if i dont like starting Angel.

Andreas

Slayalive’s reactors guide is the absolute best option

Flora Smith

I think you should watch in broadcast order until buffy season 7/Angel season 4.

Mark Johnson

Yeah I’m gonna follow the Slayalive’s guide

safae mokadem

I agree with most of the other comments. Slayalive guide works well and is easy.

Slayalive order is good as it groups story arcs together and if by chance the two shows stories overlap then it makes sure those episodes line up correctly. There are some Buffy viewers that don’t like Angel and get frustrated when there are multiple episodes of Angel in a row due to the watch order. I’m not one of them. I love Angel almost as much as Buffy. You CAN watch chronologically starting with Buffy episode 1 then Angel episode 1 and they should match up fine UNTIL season 7 Buffy/Season 4 Angel. The timeline gets a bit wonky there and the slayalive watch order is better for that season.

Has the decision been made when? Since there was a lot of comments and stuff

I’d say Slayalive is more or less good but it is most relevant in the first season I’d say. I think the relevance gets significantly less for the following seasons bar 1 or 2 instances.

Follow the SlayAlive Guide ... start with Buffy S4E1

Buffy should be first

You honestly could just do 1 Buffy and 1 Angel like it aired. Slayalive offers better story continuity but it isn't a must. People like myself watched it on tv the regular way. It only gets a little wonky in the last season of Buffy because of the shows being on different networks. I prefer this because while I like Angel it isn't Buffy and I'm not huge on seeing 3-4 Angel episodes in a row.

Steveo

Slayalive order is what most reactors use. Probably the best way.

Roy Ben-Ami

Slayalive seems easiest

JeffLee

Tomorrow you’ll get 2 episodes

safae mokadem

Where is the reaction to OTH? Its been almost 2 weeks.

Primus

I checked the Slayalive guide and if i start with buffy you’ll get one ep of each show each week. I’ll will be posting them one day or 2 days away from each other .

Slayalive guide is good. I recommend you start with Buffy

As I remember correctly you should start with Buffy. I think there is one short moment the both episodes are connected, and it's easier to get it in this order.

Daniel Schlösser

Agree with Chas. Slayalive reactors guide. Tho I think you can watch either season opener first. The guide only matters sometimes. Not here I believe.

Bisibia

Start with Buffy, whether you choose to watch the Slayalive Guide (or the Reactor’s Slayalive Guide linked on the same page), or alternate episodes. Alternating episodes works fine for the next two seasons as long as you start with Buffy.

Alex

Honestly it's up to you buddy. I personally prefer a 1 Buffy to 1 Angel ratio as it doesn't spoil anything as long as you watch the Buffy one first, and it doesn't make some wait weeks for an episode of either show. Some feel the slayer guide is nice - only thing I'd say is some really make out it's essential to follow for spoilers however that's untrue. Buffy 01/Angel 01 and onwards doesn't spoil anything x

Everyone will have their opinions and many will conflict. While it may not be 100% perfect, Slayalive guide is the most reliable and trusted out there. And less stressful for you to have to figure out, especially when you're going in blind. Make it easy on yourself and go with the guide.

But dont u start with angel pilot or no? Or is there no need for a guide or anything for 4x01 or pilot?

Addiletsplay ‘n’ Vlogz

Buffy. Do the SlayAlive reactor's guide. It doesn't lump together so many eps of each show as the original guide does.

Chas Summers

Start with the pilot of Angel and then buffy 4x01. Also u can search up the guide for the order after pilot and 4x01!!!
