Arranged in my recommended viewing order to avoid having plot points spoiled by the OVAs."Ilse's Notebook" and "No Regrets" are the only OVAs I consider essential to watch, the rest are optional. All of the OVAs except "Ilse's Notebook" were not written by the author of the manga (Hajime Isayama) and "No Regrets" is the only spin-off to be directly referenced by the main series.

I excluded the recap movies and parody spinoffs to keep it simple and easy to understand.

[Optional]
The first and second episodes can be watched between seasons 2 and 3, but the third episode takes place close to the end of season 3 part 1 (between episodes 48 and 49) that's why I recommend watching this OVA or at least the third episode between episodes 48 and 49 or after fishing season 3 part 1.
