How to watch ‘Attack on Titan’ in order
When it comes to modern anime, few series can compete with Attack on Titan’s reign over the genre. The series, which began in 2013, follows humanity’s hold-out against a species of enormous man-eating Titans.
Attack on Titan is currently on a break before airing the last half of its final season. This gives fans plenty of time to catch up on anything they may have missed. If you’re interested in watching the full anime before it concludes this winter, here’s the best watch order for Attack on Titan, from the first season to now.
The best Attack on Titan watch order
Since Attack on Titan’s first airing in 2013, there have been three complete seasons of the show. Season four’s first half just finished airing in the spring, with its second part finishing airing in April 2022 and a third expected to conclude the show in 2023.
On top of this, while there is yet to be a movie set in the universe, there have been multiple Original Video Animations, or OVAs, that bridge the story between seasons. However, for some, their canonical inclusion is up for debate, as they weren’t all written by the show’s original author, Hajime Isayama.
The only confirmed non-canonical spin-off is Attack on Titan: Junior High, which parodies the show in a slice-of-life school setting.
