That’s it. This is the right order to watch for the main Attack on Titan anime, including the OVAs. I hope my guide is straight to the point and helps you see through the confusing naming of the latter seasons.
Furthermore, you can watch spin-off series such as Attack on Titan: Junior High after episode 43 of season 3 if you want to have a fun time. Attack on Titan movies are the recaps of each season, which you may easily skip to save some time. The same goes for the live-action movies, however, if you are someone who wishes to watch them all, make sure it’s only after finishing the main anime. This way you won’t get spoiled for the events that will be showcased in anime.
If you are having doubts about this watch order, please feel free to comment below, and I will help you out, my fellow AOT fan.
