What Order Do I Watch Attack On Titan
So, you're ready to dive headfirst into the world of giant, people-eating Titans? Excellent choice! But figuring out where to even start with Attack on Titan can feel like trying to navigate a maze designed by a very hungry, very large person.
Fear not, friend! We're here to untangle the threads and get you watching in the perfect order, without spoiling too much of the story's wild ride.
The Main Event: Seasons 1-4 (Part 3)
This is where the meaty action happens, the core of the entire story. Start with Season 1. It's your introduction to Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the terrifying reality of their existence.
Must Read
Then continue with Season 2, Season 3 (split into two parts, but watch them sequentially), and finally, Season 4. Now Season 4 is a bit tricky. It's been split into multiple parts and, honestly, calling it "Season 4 Part 3" is a bit like saying your cat "slightly enjoys" knocking things off shelves.
Just watch all parts in order. It's all essential!
OVA Adventures: Side Stories and Fun Facts
Think of OVAs as little bonus episodes. They're not crucial to the main plot, but they add flavour, like a dash of hot sauce to your favorite dish. Some fill in backstory gaps, others focus on side characters.
Here's the recommended order to sprinkle them in: Watch Attack on Titan: Ilse's Notebook after Season 1 episode 16. Next is Attack on Titan: Sudden Visitors after Season 1 episode 17.
Then watch Attack on Titan: A Choice with No Regrets Part 1 and 2 before Season 2. Finally, watch Attack on Titan: Lost Girls after Season 2.
These OVAs are great for a deeper dive into the characters and world, but again, if you skip them, you won't be completely lost.
Movies: Recap or Re-Experience?
There are recap movies available, condensing the first two seasons. These movies are basically the highlights reel, like watching your favorite sports game on fast-forward.
Unless you're in a real rush or just want a quick refresher, stick to the full seasons. You'll miss out on the emotional build-up and subtle details that make Attack on Titan so impactful.
In Conclusion: Just Watch It!
Seriously, don't get too hung up on the "perfect" order. The main seasons are the priority. Treat the OVAs as delightful little side quests and movies as optional recaps.
The most important thing is to experience the story, the twists, the turns, and the sheer insanity of the world that Hajime Isayama created. Attack on Titan is a journey. Embrace the chaos, prepare for heartbreak, and get ready to shout "Shinzou wo Sasageyo!" at your TV.
Happy watching! Just remember to maybe keep some snacks handy...you know, in case any Titans get hungry.
