Shows that feel likeAttack on Titan (2013–2022)
If you loved Attack on Titan, the closest series we have are Vinland Saga (2019), Akame ga Kill! (2014) and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009). All three share Attack on Titan's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is BLUE EYE SAMURAI (2023).
If Attack on Titan hit the spot, these will too
Cycles of violence examined by someone who started inside them
The difference: Historical, slower, and finally about laying the sword down
Young fighters against a rotten regime, and nobody is safe
The difference: Cruder and much cheaper, with less to say
A state built on an atrocity, uncovered by the people it raised
The difference: Warmer and more hopeful, with a comic streak
Kids thrown into a fight that keeps demanding more than they have
The difference: Optimistic at its core — the school setting keeps the horror out
A rules-heavy world that turns much darker than it first appears
The difference: Adventure-shaped, and far less bleak
Becoming the thing your society exists to destroy
The difference: Smaller and more intimate, and much less political
Common ground: revenge
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Attack on Titan does
One thread runs through both: revenge
The difference: Easier on the ideas than Attack on Titan
A safe world revealed as a feeding pen — escape is the only move
The difference: Season one's brilliance gives way to a rushed, gutted second run
Both keep coming back to the same thing: dystopia
The difference: Sits closer to crime than Attack on Titan does
Both are built on the same subject: tragedy
The same preoccupation in both: dystopia
