# Attack on Titan Watch Order

The short answer: watch Attack on Titan straight through in release order — Season 1, then Season 2, Season 3, Season 3 Part 2, The Final Season, and finally The Final Season Part 2 — which also happens to be the exact chronological order of events. This manga adaptation follows Eren, Mikasa, and Armin inside a walled city where the last of humanity shelters from towering, man-eating giants, and every season builds directly on the questions the previous one left hanging. There are no side movies or spin-offs you need to weave in, which makes it one of the cleanest binges in modern anime — press play on Season 1 and simply keep going. The only thing that trips newcomers up is the naming, since the later chapters were divided into 'Parts,' but that never changes the sequence. Follow the six entries below in order and you'll experience the whole saga exactly as it was meant to unfold.

   Streams on: Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix

6. **[Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Part 2](https://hozuna.com/anime/attack-on-titan-the-final-season-part-2)** — TV · 2022 · 12 eps
   These 12 episodes continue The Final Season and drive the conflict toward its climax; the 'Part 2' tag is just a scheduling split, so move into it immediately after The Final Season.
   Streams on: Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix

## FAQ

**Which order should I watch Attack on Titan in?**

Watch it in release order, which is also the chronological order of events: Season 1, Season 2, Season 3, Season 3 Part 2, The Final Season, and finally The Final Season Part 2. The TV series tells one continuous, straight-line story with no branching timelines or alternate versions to juggle, so this numbered run is the only sequence you need.

**Why is The Final Season split into parts?**

The finale was simply too big to adapt in one stretch, so it was broken into installments: The Final Season came first at 16 episodes, followed by The Final Season Part 2, with the story then wrapped up in a set of concluding special episodes. As a viewer you don't have to worry about the divisions — just watch The Final Season, then Part 2, then the finale specials in that order. The 'Part' labels are a release-schedule quirk, not a break in the narrative.

**What are the Final Chapters, and where do they fit?**

The Final Chapters are the true conclusion of the series — feature-length special episodes that pick up after The Final Season Part 2 and bring the entire story to its definitive end. They're the very last thing to watch, so once you finish the six seasons above, the Final Chapters close everything out. Save them for the end and you'll have seen the story in full.

**Where can I watch all of Attack on Titan?**

Crunchyroll is the easiest one-stop — it carries every season from Season 1 all the way through The Final Season Part 2, so you can run the entire series in one place. Every season is also available on Hulu, and from Season 2 onward the show is on Netflix as well. Since the opener and each sequel sit on the same services, you can watch the whole run without hopping between platforms.

**Do I need to watch any movies or spin-offs before starting?**

No — begin with Season 1. The six television entries above, capped by the concluding Final Chapters, contain the complete story from start to finish. There are also compilation movies that condense the TV seasons into recap films, but they cover footage you'll already be watching and add nothing new, so a first-time viewer can safely stick to the order laid out here.
