Why this order?
The three seasons are one continuous story that changed names in every language: season 1 (2013) is just SNAFU, season 2 is TOO! in English but Zoku in Japanese, and season 3 is Climax! in English but Kan in Japanese. Searching databases by the wrong-language subtitle is the most common way people end up watching things out of order. In English terms the order is simply SNAFU, TOO!, Climax!, and season 2 is where the show sheds its comedy skin and becomes the character drama people actually remember; do not judge the series by season 1's genre clothes.
The OVAs are a collector's oddity: all three were bundled with visual novel games, not broadcast, and none stream legally anywhere. The 2013 and 2016 OVAs are light extras. The 2023 one is different in kind: a 23-minute epilogue adapting the Shin bonus-novel material, set after the ending, and it is regularly misreported as a season 4 or new project. It is not; it is a single bonus episode attached to a game.
The honest status of the franchise: finished. Climax! (2020) adapted the light novels' actual ending, the 2023 OVA added an epilogue, and the Ketsu continuation announced back in 2021 materialized as light novels, not anime. Nothing new is announced, and Hachiman's story has an ending you can actually reach, which in this genre is rarer than it should be.

Frequently asked questions
How many SNAFU seasons are there?
Three: SNAFU (2013, 13 episodes), TOO! (2015, 13) and Climax! (2020, 12), plus three game-bundle OVAs from 2013, 2016 and 2023. The story is complete.
What order should I watch SNAFU in?
Straight through: SNAFU, TOO!, Climax!. The OVAs slot after their matching seasons if you can find them, but none are required and none stream legally.
Is there a SNAFU season 4?
No. Climax! adapted the light novels' real ending in 2020. The 2023 release that fuels season 4 rumors is a single 23-minute epilogue OVA bundled with a visual novel, and the Ketsu project announced in 2021 became light novels, not anime.
Why do the seasons have different names everywhere?
Each language localized the subtitles differently: season 2 is TOO! in English but Zoku on Japanese databases, and season 3 is Climax! in English but Kan in Japanese. Same shows, different labels; match by year and you cannot go wrong.
Is season 1 representative of the series?
Only half. Season 1 leans comedy; from TOO! onward the show becomes a sincere, sometimes brutal character drama about communication, and that shift is exactly why it is remembered. Give it until season 2 before judging.
