Attack on Titan Watch Order June 2026

πŸ—ΊοΈ Release order with OADs slotted (recommended)🎬 11 entriesπŸ”„ Checked June 12, 2026
πŸ—ΊοΈ Where to start: Start with Season 1, episode 1 (2013). Do not start with the recap movies, the chronological OAD order (heavy spoilers β€” No Regrets and Ilse's Notebook land far better after you know the characters), or Junior High.

Attack on Titan's order confuses people because the Final Season was split into four parts over three years (Part 1, Part 2, and two 'THE FINAL CHAPTERS' specials), eight OADs sit chronologically inside earlier seasons despite releasing years apart, and the 2024-25 compilation movie 'The Last Attack' repackages the two finale specials. Release order with OADs slotted at natural break points is the cleanest path. Below is the full recommended Attack on Titan watch order for June 2026, cross-checked against multiple community guides β€” plus alternative orders and what you can safely skip. Last verified June 12, 2026.

βœ… Release order with OADs slotted (recommended)

  1. 1
    Attack on Titan Season 1 TV Β· 25 eps Β· 2013

    The starting point. Introduces Eren, Mikasa, Armin and the fall of Wall Maria.

  2. 2
    OADs: Ilse's Notebook / The Sudden Visitor / Distress OAD Β· 3 eps Β· 2013

    Chronologically these sit between S1 episodes 3 and 4, but guides agree first-timers should watch them after finishing Season 1.

  3. 3
    Attack on Titan: No Regrets OAD Β· 2 eps Β· 2014

    Two-part Levi origin prequel (how Erwin recruited him from the Underground). Set before the series, best watched after Season 1 once you know Levi.

  4. 4
    Attack on Titan Season 2 TV Β· 12 eps Β· 2017

    Short but pivotal: Beast Titan debut and major identity reveals.

  5. 5
    Attack on Titan: Lost Girls OAD Β· 3 eps Β· 2017

    Wall Sina, Goodbye (Annie detective story) plus Lost in the Cruel World (surreal Mikasa what-if, not strictly canon). Watch after Season 2; the Mikasa episode is the most skippable OAD.

  6. 6
    Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1 TV Β· 12 eps Β· 2018

    Political-intrigue arc: the Uprising and the truth about the royal government.

  7. 7
    Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2 TV Β· 10 eps Β· 2019

    Return to Shiganshina β€” widely considered the series' peak.

  8. 8
    The Final Season Part 1 TV Β· 16 eps Β· 2020

    Studio change from WIT to MAPPA; four-year timeskip to Marley. Aired Dec 2020 – Mar 2021.

  9. 9
    The Final Season Part 2 TV Β· 12 eps Β· 2022

    Episodes 76-87. The Rumbling begins.

  10. 10
    THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1 TV special Β· film Β· 2023

    ~61-minute special (March 2023) β€” effectively 'Part 3' of the Final Season.

  11. 11
    THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2 TV special Β· film Β· 2023

    ~85-minute series finale (November 2023). Alternative: skip steps 10-11 and watch 'Attack on Titan the Movie: THE LAST ATTACK' (2024, 145 min) β€” the same two specials compiled with remastered visuals and a new post-credits scene, now streaming on Crunchyroll.

πŸ”€ Alternative orders

Pure release order

Watch everything exactly as it premiered, with OADs landing wherever their DVD dates fell. Functionally identical to the recommended order; just slightly less tidy about when extras appear.

S1 β†’ Ilse's Notebook β†’ No Regrets β†’ S2 β†’ Lost Girls β†’ S3 Part 1 β†’ S3 Part 2 β†’ Final Season Part 1 β†’ Part 2 β†’ THE FINAL CHAPTERS Specials 1-2 (or The Last Attack movie)

Skip-OADs fast track

Main canon only β€” nothing essential to the plot is lost, since all OADs are supplementary character material.

S1 (25) β†’ S2 (12) β†’ S3 Part 1 (12) β†’ S3 Part 2 (10) β†’ Final Season Part 1 (16) β†’ Part 2 (12) β†’ The Last Attack movie (or the two FINAL CHAPTERS specials)

⏭️ What can you skip?

Fully skippable: Attack on Titan: Junior High (2015 chibi school parody, zero canon relevance) and all recap movies before The Last Attack (Crimson Bow and Arrow, Wings of Freedom, The Roar of Awakening, Chronicle β€” pure recaps). OADs are all optional for the plot, but No Regrets and Ilse's Notebook are widely recommended. The Last Attack is skippable IF you've watched the two FINAL CHAPTERS specials β€” it's the same content remastered.

πŸ“Ί Where to stream

❓ FAQ

Are the OADs canon or required?

They're canon side stories adapted from official spin-off material (except the surreal 'Lost in the Cruel World'), but none are required to follow the main plot. No Regrets and Ilse's Notebook are the most recommended; all 8 OADs stream on Crunchyroll.

What order do the Final Season parts go in?

Part 1 (16 eps, 2020-21) β†’ Part 2 (12 eps, 2022) β†’ THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1 (March 2023) β†’ THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2 (November 2023). The specials are sometimes labeled 'Part 3' or 'Parts 3 and 4'.

Is The Last Attack the same as the finale specials?

Yes β€” the 2024 movie (145 min) is a theatrical compilation of THE FINAL CHAPTERS Specials 1 and 2 with upgraded visuals and sound, plus a new 'School Castes' post-credits scene. Watch one or the other, not both.

Where can I stream Attack on Titan?

Crunchyroll has everything: all 4 seasons (sub and dub), the 8 OADs, and The Last Attack movie. Hulu carries the main series in the US; Disney+ in some regions.

How long does it take to watch?

87 regular episodes + 2 finale specials (~2.5 hrs) + 8 OADs comes to roughly 40-42 hours total; about 36-37 hours if you skip the OADs.

Is Attack on Titan finished?

Yes. The anime concluded with THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2 in November 2023, adapting the manga's ending (the manga finished in 2021). The Last Attack added no new story beyond a post-credits Easter egg.
