Interested viewers would like to know that Link Click anime has released three installments thus far, and an optional Chibi short. However, there's a common misconception that the series has released three seasons. While the latest and third installment (produced by CMC Media) serves as a prequel, it's highly advised to watch the "prequel" after season 2.

To understand the narrative, interested anime enthusiasts can watch the series in this particular order:

Link Click season 1 (April - June 2021) - Original Net Animation
Link Click episode 5.5 (May 28, 2021) - Original Net Animation
Chibi Shorts - Original Net Animation
Link Click season 2 (July - September 2023) - Original Net Animation
Link Click: Bridon Arc (December 2024 - January 2025) - Original Net Animation

The first season has released a total of 11.5 episodes. Notably, it's important for fans not to skip episode 5.5 as it's crucial to understand the following events in the narrative. After watching 11.5 episodes in season 1, fans can watch the Chibi shorts. However, they are only optional as they don't impact the story.

Yet, if fans like the main cast, i.e., Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, they can give it a try. Following the chibi shorts, interested Chinese donghua/anime lovers can catch the second season, which has a total of 12 episodes.

After that, you can watch the Bridon Arc (six episodes), which is essentially a prequel, focusing on the events before seasons 1 and 2. Yet, as mentioned earlier, Bridon Arc should be watched after season 2.

The original donghua centers around Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, two friends who work at the Time Photo Studio, a photography studio located in the metropolis. Interestingly, Xiaoshi and Guang have a secret - they can use their superpowers to enter their clients' photos upon their request.

Lu Guang possesses the power to rewind events that have already happened, while Xiaoshi can enter a picture and take over the photographer's body. Through the eyes of the photographer, Xiaoshi and Guang look for clues and try to solve their clients' requests.

However, traveling through time is a risky affair, since a slight change in the past's events can drastically change the future. Bearing that in mind, Lu Guang and Xiaoshi embark on a fascinating adventure.
