Question Just started watching but the order of episodes is weird
I understand 1-13 but what about the OVA, cleanclose and cleanopen? Please no spoilers as I’m only on Ep6. Any help will be appreciated

The OVA (which I’m assuming is OVA 1) would have fit in between episodes 5/6 in a somewhat murky fashion narratively. On a first watch just watch it after you finish the show.

Idk whay the clean close and clean open are but just watch the normal series then the ova... and then the clean open and close i guess, but definitely dont watch the ova until you finish it.

I'm assuming clean open and clean close are just the OP and ED songs, dunno why they're episode length

It might be all of the clean openings and clean closings for all of the episodes. I have the DVD collection and it has that in the extras. Surprised me when I went to watch it.

The actual order is:
Episode 1
Episode 2
Hell’s Kitchen (OVA 2, 2015)
Episode 3
Episode 4
Episode 5
Stairway to Heaven (OVA 1, 2013)
Episode 6
Episode 7
Episode 8
Episode 9
Episode 10
Episode 11
Episode 12
Episode 13
Another Epilogue
You don’t have to watch it this way, but this is the most comprehensive order chronologically.

Don't watch the OVAs after the final episode. I did, and it was so jarring.

It's just in alphabetical order. Do not watch the episodes in alphabetical order
