Quick Links
Attack on Titan,or Shingeki no Kyujin, took the world by storm when its first season debuted in 2013, quickly becoming one of the most popular - and celebrated - anime of all time. The series, based on the manga by the same name, has been praised as richly detailed, finely crafted, and consistently compelling.
If you’re just getting into Attack on Titan in 2025 (or later), we’ve assembled a watch order for you. Or rather, three watch orders. Because, as is distressingly common with many of the very best media IPs through the ages, there are arguments to be made for numerous approaches.
Attack On Titan: The Complete Chronological Watch Order
If you’re intent on watchingnot just Attack on Titan’s flagship series, but its spin-offs as well, then these first two sections of our guide are for you. This first partlists everything in chronological order.
Mind you,this approach might not be the best for you. By inserting all the side content in precise chronological order,you’ll be spoiling yourself on some thingswhich said side content, having been released later on, will have assumed viewers are familiar with.

Attack On Titan: The Complete Best First-Experience Watch Order
Well then, seeing as we marked yes on several things which spoil key story elements out-of-order,how does a newcomer to Attack on Titan avoid such spoilers, and watch everything in itsintendedorder?
Attack On Titan: The Watch Order, Sans “Filler”
Let’s say you’d prefer to cut to the chase. After all,much of Attack on Titan’s side content is purely supplemental. Indeed,Lost in the Cruel World isn’t even canon - notreally.(It’s sort of complicated.) AndA Sudden Visitoris farcical to the point of severe uncertainty!
Even so,a bit of the side content remains important viewing, so rather than just telling readers to stick with the obvious (season) parts of our above tables, we’ve made a third one just to be safe.
If you’re super-intent on skipping anything remotely filler-esque,at least watch Ilse’s Notebook. While it’s hardly supremely consequential, we do think it’s 100 percent worth including - and, unlike the other side content -it was even written by the mangaka, Hajime Isayama.
