Attack on Titan
| Excluding season 3.2 -which has not ended yet- which one of the previous seasons -in your opinion- was the best and why? |
| Enjoy the ride... |
| I'll have to give it all a re-watch at some point, but season 1 is still my favourite at the moment. It has so many great moments, with the female titan fights being the highlight. |
| Probably first for all of the epic moments Second season after that |
 |
| I think that Season 1 was the best. After that, it was a downward decline, but after Season 3 Part 2 finishes airing, it will definitely be my favorite. |

| Season one was my favorite season and at least on pair with the current one imo. Great survival and mystery aspects, but also many shocking twists and awesome fights as well. Episode 13 and 21 are among the best episodes I've ever seen. |

| S1 because of the hype and fast manga release praise |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Season 2 since it was mystery focused . |
| I didn't like season 1, it was too slow, seemed like too much hype for nothing. Season 2 was slightly better but it felt like there was too much info dump. I also didn't like main characters so the focus switch to other characters was good. The 3d season was the best in terms of pacing and it actually got me interested in the story at last. But I might rewatch all of it with different perspective as I actually like the whole story now. |

| Enjoy the ride... |
| My favourite is also the season 1. This season made me a fan of SNK. |

The first season drew me in and got me hooked, the second was quite wonderful and perfect in it's own unique way, the third with it's conspiracies, intrigues and human versus human action was a nice change of pace, and so far 3.1 has been EPIC in unbelievable ways. They all get a 10 score from me, one of the best series EVER. |

| S1 is the best out of those, but overall it’s easily the current one. |
| Season 1 was my favorite too. It was the most gripping and intense one. It has unique style, great direction and best use of OST. |
| It's the first season. Mainly because it had 25 episodes. Although, my most favorite season is the one currently airing. |
 |
| I'm not sure, but my favorite is probably season 3, part 2. |
| None of them are really good, I respect the animation and music but for the story I don't really.. Although if I didn't get spoiler before, maybe I would be thrilled with the revelations in S2.. |

| Season one is the best. Great direction, very good action, fantastic ost and dark atmosphere of survival horror, that’s what makes this season so special. Season 2 was good too focusing much more on character development and revealing some of the mysteries, but the pacing was sometimes too slow. Season 3 part 1 IMO is the worst season. I don’t mean that season 3.1 is bad, but the pacing was too fast, directing was unstable, use of OSTs was sometimes strange and unsuitable. However, the plot and character development are still great, some episodes was fantastic and there is best action scene in franchise in episode 2 of this season. Season 3 part 2 potentially will be the best season, because there are a lot of awesome staff on this season. |
 |
| Season 2 is my favorite among the three. It has the best direction imo. Greatness from the beginning of the season to the end, the revelation was handled perfectly, the soundtrack fits perfectly, the action scenes are great, the mystery is also great and it also focused on one of the most interesting character in the series which is Reiner. |
| i think the seasons fit too well together as 1 continuous story. Trying to figure out the best season doesnt make much sense to me. season 1 is the only one that can stand alone because obviously nothing came before it. The other 2 build off of it plot wise, but maintains the quality and aesthetic. |

| I refuse to call the current season “Season 3 part 2”.... Fuck that shit, it’s Season 4, I don’t care! And not including season FOUR...Season 1 is #1, mostly due to how big the hype was, the number of episodes, and just how everything was new to the viewers. But I ultimately think Season FOUR will win. |
| I am waiting for s2 part 2 to finish to watch the whole thing. But the 1st season is my favorite so far and will probably stay that way. Since I was very disappointed with the direction of the 2nd season. |

| First One is best in my opinion |
 |
| Season 2 has amazing twists and worldbuilding and it's when the world of AoT really expands into something greater imo |
 |
| Lets be Honest the final arc is going to be the best. Also everyone is saying Season 1 is the best because of nostalgia tbh. Not all but some |
| Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. |
| S3.1 was the best in terms of story and characterization. The developement was great. I really liked how the mysteries have been started to unfold in various aspects. The pacing of the whole 3rd season is on point. As for the fights, S1 was the most thrilling part. |
| season2 by far, but s1 was also great. |
| For me is still, Season 3 Part 1, is a different season than the previous ones, it's more strategic, slow-paced, but still amazingly interesting, i feel Eren has REALLY been developed this season, and i don't know if i can separate Part 1 from Part 2, but i think Part 1 is still better than Part 2 so far. |
 |
| I'd say the current one has been the most consistently hype so far. Though the first season is still the most memorable of course but that was mostly for its opening episodes |
  |
| Still the first season for me! |
  |
| Personally, Season 1 is at least as good as this arc. It knew how to told a story by making the audience really care about Eren's revenge, using the horrors of the titans to increase tension, subtlety creating a lot of mysteries on this world, foreshadwing stuff without giving them away and all that without losing it's epicness (It's legit the most epic show I've seen). Season 2 lost it's momentum on the Utgard castle arc, but quickly came back with Colossal and Armoured titan reveal. The last couple of episodes were great, but didn't quite live the Season 1 hype Season 3 pt1 made some mistakes in terms of storytelling in a few times, so I can definitely say it was the "least great" arc |
 |
| First season was above average I'd say all things considered. Season 2 was a clear improvement, season 3 was pretty damn dope and season 3 part 2 is just amazing so far. |
| It got better with every season while season 1 was a bit boring and only 7/10 for me since I knew the manga already and therefore there was a lot of surprises from the plot that weren't that interesting when experiencing them again in animated form. Especially with the pacing being a bit slower. Starting season 2 it got good and season 3 is even a lot better. (Better arc.) Season 3.2 which I liked less in the manga ... is the best so far. In animated form this is really better because the pacing and atmosphere was good in the anime - so far. |
| Season 3 part 2 is easily the best anime of all time for me, so I'll have to go with that. Season 2 was also amazing, and the episode "Warrior" is still in my top 3 anime episodes even after this season. |
| 1) Season 1 Part 2 (9.75/10) 2) Season 3 Part 2 (9.40/10) 3) Season 1 Part 1 (9.25/10) 3) Season 2 (9.25/10) 4) Season 3 Part 1 (8.80/10) Female Titan Arc is my favourite arc of the series, by quite the distance too, and I’ve always been beat as to why people usually dislike that arc. I’m referring to the anime version by the way which managed to make the experience a once-in-a-lifetime treat! I’ve rewatched the entire franchise (except for the OVAs and the side-stories) and the Female Titan remains my favourite. I enjoyed Season 3 Part 1 more during my first watch though but it changed to Season 2 overtaking Season 3 Part 1 during the rewatch. |

People disliked it because the pacing was not the best in the first season overall, recaps included, and the anime transformed Eren into super saiyan during the last episode while fighting the female titan, a random power up that wasn't even in the manga and that put everybody in fear that it wouldn't have a sequel for modifying the canon with a more-or-less anime original ending segment that suddenly (only intensified that feeling because of the 4 years production pause). |
 |
| After rewatching the whole deal in a couple of days, I noticed that season two was very well done. Much better than I remember when I watched it while it aired. I don't know why, I guess binge watching it all does the show well. |

Pacing issue was more relevant for me during the first half and I’m aware of the anime-original bit in the end. It wasn’t nearly as bad as people make it though and the prospects of a sequel was already confirmed right after the final episode by the Producer of the show himself. Recap Movie 2 perfectly tied up the knot by continuing just fine from the manga but I suppose I get your point about the 4 years pause. Sad that it all comes down to the timing. dino-chan said: After I rewatched the whole deal in a couple of days, I noticed that season two was very well done.

Once you’ve learnt more about the titans and such, you begin to appreciate the role that Season 2 played in instigating some of the greater mystery. Or so it felt like to me. |

I honestly wasn't particularly bothered by it tbh, and the pacing was not horrible either, it was slightly slow, and to me I rather have it like this with a great adaptation, then having it otherwise being rushed. I was just giving the explanation as to why, since that was the general consensus for a while (the other complainings being "just how overrated it is for being so popular even though X anime I like is better", which I tend to ignore, and some complains about underdevelopment of settings and characters, which are justified given just how early in the story the series still was (and we did get a lot of that from season 2 and above anyway). You can only really give the first season proper value in a rewatch/reread of the later arcs anyway, it's actually unfair to judge it standalone and not as a piece of a bigger puzzle. |

Yup, I totally agree! Something about the slow adaption made it really ideal for our Director to expand upon and in doing so making an amazing atmosphere to boot! Also, you’re absolutely right on the mark with the ‘it’s actually unfair to judge it as a stand-alone and not as a piece of a bigger puzzle’. Shingeki no Kyojin’s greatest strength has in fact been the buildup in the mystery with the exhilarating action and the character developments following up right after and just going through the material again makes you realise just how far humanity has actually come! Sword Art Online: Aliciazation is actually well received thanks to this particular progression where we, the viewers, are learning about the world and it’s consequences along with the characters of the show from zero to a hundred. Right, I’ve heard of complaints along those lines and it always gets me a little disappointed and ticked off. It is justified due to the long time span, thanks Wit I suppose, but I wish people would understand a little more about the circumstances but well that’s probably asking a bit too much. Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2 seems to be doing a fabulous job at rekindling some of it’s lost praise and hype and this is probably the most important matter for the show so very glad to see that! Sorry for the long endless rant! |
