Season 1
Season 1 aired from 7 April to 29 September 2013 with 25 episodes by Wit Studio. It opens on the day the outer wall is breached, follows Eren, Mikasa and Armin through their training in the 104th Training Corps, and covers their first real battles against the Titans in the town of Trost and their first expedition with the Survey Corps beyond the walls.
Season 2
Season 2 aired from 1 April to 17 June 2017 with 12 episodes. The quiet after the first season ends quickly: Titans are spotted inside Wall Rose, and the 104th cadets, some of them unarmed at an outpost, have to warn nearby villages and hold out until help arrives. The season puts Connie, Sasha, Reiner and the rest of the class at the centre.
Season 3 Part 1
Season 3 Part 1 aired from 23 July to 15 October 2018 with 12 episodes. The danger now comes from people inside the walls as much as from Titans. After the government demands custody of two young Survey Corps members, Levi and his new squad have to stay on the run and work out who is pulling the strings in the capital.
Season 3 Part 2
Season 3 Part 2 aired from 29 April to 1 July 2019 with 10 episodes. The Survey Corps launches the operation it has prepared for years: a mission to retake Wall Maria and reach Shiganshina, Eren's old home. It is the last part animated by Wit Studio and contains some of the best-known episodes of the series.
The Final Season Part 1
The Final Season Part 1 aired from 7 December 2020 to 29 March 2021 with 16 episodes, the first by MAPPA under director Yuichiro Hayashi. The story widens its view to the world beyond the walls and introduces new characters, some on the other side of the conflict, before returning to the cast fans already know.
The Final Season Part 2
The Final Season Part 2 aired from 10 January to 4 April 2022 with 12 episodes by MAPPA. It continues straight from Part 1 as the conflict built up over the previous seasons reaches a turning point. The season ends on a cliffhanger that leads into the two Final Chapters specials.
The Final Chapters Special 1
The Final Chapters Special 1 aired on NHK on 4 March 2023 as a one-hour special by MAPPA, later counted as episodes 88 to 90. It picks up directly after Part 2 and begins the last stretch of the story, with the Survey Corps facing its hardest choice.
The Final Chapters Special 2
The Final Chapters Special 2 aired on 5 November 2023 as a special of about 85 minutes, later counted as episodes 91 to 94. It concludes the Attack on Titan anime and adapts the ending of the manga. In November 2024 both specials were combined into the theatrical film The Last Attack.
Next season Anime finished
There is no next season: the anime finished with The Final Chapters Special 2 on 5 November 2023, and the film The Last Attack, a cinema version of the two final specials, opened in Japan on 8 November 2024. As of October 2026 no new anime series has been announced. WIT Studio teased an Attack on Titan reveal for 20 August 2026, but it turned out to be a themed cafe in Shinjuku.
