Attack on Titan Watch Order

6 entries · 87 episodes total

The easiest way to watch Attack on Titan is straight through in release order: Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 3 Part 2, The Final Season, and The Final Season Part 2. That is also the chronological order of events. The manga adaptation follows Eren, Mikasa, and Armin inside a walled city where the last of humanity hides from towering, man-eating giants. Each season picks up the questions and consequences left by the one before it. You do not need to fit any side movies or spin-offs between seasons, so this is an unusually straightforward modern anime to binge. Start with Season 1 and keep going. The later titles can look confusing because the story was released in several parts, but those labels do not alter the sequence. Watch the six entries below in order to experience the saga as it unfolds.

  1. 01
    Shingeki no Kyojin

    TV · 2013 · 25 eps

    Begin with the 25-episode first season from 2013. It introduces Eren, Mikasa, and Armin, along with the walled world they inhabit and the Titans attacking it. The characters, dangers, and mysteries established here support everything that follows.

  2. 02
    Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2

    TV · 2017 · 12 eps

    The 12-episode second season begins right after the first season and digs further into the central mystery. Watch it next without inserting any movies or spin-offs, since its revelations build directly on what Season 1 established.

  3. 03
    Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3

    TV · 2018 · 12 eps

    Season 3 runs for 12 episodes and shifts the struggle toward a tense conspiracy within the walls. It continues directly from Season 2 and marks the story's midpoint, where the conflict turns inward and the stakes rise again.

  4. 04
    Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2

    TV · 2019 · 10 eps

    This 10-episode second half of Season 3 follows the long-awaited campaign to reclaim Wall Maria. Although it aired as a separate cour, it continues the same season and story, so start it immediately after Season 3.

  5. 05
    Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season

    TV · 2021 · 16 eps

    The 16-episode Final Season moves production from Wit Studio to MAPPA and jumps ahead to show the wider world beyond the walls. It begins the story's endgame and follows the events of Season 3 Part 2, making it the next entry to watch.

  6. 06
    Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Part 2

    TV · 2022 · 12 eps

    These 12 episodes continue The Final Season and push its conflict toward the climax. Part 2 is only a release-schedule label rather than a separate branch of the story, so move straight into it after finishing The Final Season.

FAQ

  • Use release order: Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 3 Part 2, The Final Season, and The Final Season Part 2. This is also the chronological order of events. The television series follows one continuous story, with no branching timelines or alternate versions to sort out, so the numbered sequence is all you need.
