Watch order
Every episode, in order
Alien Stage is told in release order and each episode assumes the last one. Thirteen episodes so far — twelve in the main series between September 2022 and June 2025, plus the first Zombie Stage episode in June 2026. Round 4 is missing on purpose; see below.

Common questions
What order should I watch Alien Stage in?
Release order. Alien Stage is told in order and every episode assumes you have seen the ones before it, so start at Round 1 (September 2022) and work down. The only gap is Round 4, which VIVINOS never released — the series goes straight from Round 3 to Round 5, and Round 5 tells you what happened.
How many Alien Stage episodes are there?
Twelve in the main series, released between September 2022 and June 2025, plus one Zombie Stage episode released in June 2026 — thirteen in total. Karma was intended to close the series, but a post by Kang in April 2026 confirmed further episodes are coming in both the main universe and the alternate ones.
Why is there no Round 4?
Round 4 happened in-universe but was never animated. Luka beat Durian in it. Round 5 opens with Luka arriving as an already-established winner, which is the only place the series addresses it.
Do I need to watch Alien Stage before Zombie Stage?
Zombie Stage Round 1 is watchable cold, but it re-stages the same Mizi versus Sua pairing as Alien Stage Round 1 and most of its impact depends on knowing how the original ended. Watch Alien Stage Round 1 first at minimum.
What order are the Alien Stage songs in?
The main-series songs run My Clematis, Sweet Dream, Unknown (Till The End…), Black Sorrow, Ruler Of My Heart, Dangerous, All-in, Cure, Blink Gone, Wiege and KARMA — released as ALNST Original Soundtrack Part.1 through Part.10. The ALNST Sub solo tracks and the anniversary remixes sit outside that sequence.
