Don’t be confused if you’re just starting to watch the series.
Summary:
It would be best to watch the OVAs after the first season.
You can watch the rest of the series after the OVAs.
There are also specials that have no connection to the original story.
Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) is not only an immensely popular series, but is also a comparatively long one. Not the One Piece or Naruto type of long, of course, but still.
All these countless parts of the Final Season may make you a bit confused if you’re a newbie, who’s trying to watch the series. So let’s discuss the best watch order for Attack on Titan, and remember some of the series’ OVAs.
Season 1 and OVAs
This is going to sound like the most obvious thing in the world, but you should start watching Attack on Titan with… Season 1. Yes, just Episode 1 of Season 1, and that’s it.
You may see various specials that were released at the same time with the first season, but we advise you to ignore them for now and just finish the season. This way you won’t get distracted along the way and just experience the entire story as a whole.
Then, after you’ve finished watching Season 1 (25 episodes), let’s move to various specials.
Most of them have different stories, so it doesn’t really matter, which one you should start with. If you’re too heartbroken after the season, we’d say The Sudden Visitor is a great way to start, since this special is rather humorous.
Ilse’s Notebook OVA is a must, but get ready to have your heart broken all over again by the cruelty of the Attack on Titan world. And be prepared that there won’t be Eren, Armin or Mikasa, but there will be Levi and Hange.
The Distress OVA might be your next choice if you want to watch a simple story of Christa being captured and the Cadets trying to save her.
Then comes one of the best Attack on Titan OVAs, which is a two-part special named A Choice with No Regrets. This is a story about Levi and Erwin’s past.
Season 2
This time we’d suggest you start with OVAs instead of the actual season. Don’t worry, there aren’t many of them.
Lost Girls is a three-part special that will tell you the stories of Annie and Mikasa. And since your memories of Annie are still fresh after the finale of Season 1, this is the best moment to experience these three episodes.
After you’ve finished the specials, go straight to Season 2 (12 episodes). Just watch the entire season, and that’s it.
The rest is super easy:
Watch Season 3 (22 episodes)
Watch the Final Season (28 episodes, The Final Chapters Part One, The Final Chapters Part Two)
There are also other specials like Picture Drama, which is a comedy Chibi show, or Attack on Titan: Junior High, but they’re spin-offs and you don’t have to watch them if you don’t feel like it, since they have no connection to the original story.
Don’t be confused if you’re just starting to watch the series.
