In the first season, the protagonist, Eren Jeager, witnesses his mother dying after being eaten by the series' main antagonists, the Titans. This becomes Eren's motivation to develop his combat skills in order to fight the Titans. Later on, Eren is eaten by a Titan himself but discovers that he can transform into a Titan, control it, and fight like he would as a human. Eren learns how to use his newfound powers to combat the Titans and continues his training as more titans continue to flood into his homeland.
In its second season, the main cast of characters, who have joined the Survey Corps, are thrown into action after Titans breach the walls without any apparent trace of how they entered. Along the way, they discover the true nature of the Titans.
In its two-part third season, the Survey Corps are hunted as Eren and another member are wanted. Later, they defend their hometown in a series of battles against the strongest Titans. Afterwards, reeling from the devastating battles, the Survey Corps members uncover the truth about their world and humanity in general.
Its fourth season, split into three parts, takes place four years after Eren and his compatriots learned the truth about their situation. A new cast of characters, part of the enemy's elite Warrior Unit, is pitted into war against the Survey Corps as each side seeks to protect their home and ideals. At the same time, Eren has concocted a devasting plan to take care of his homeland's enemies.

Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network criticized the first two episodes of the anime adaptation, saying the director, Araki, "clearly intends it to be powerful and unsettling, but it's just crude and unpleasant."[86] However, other critics from Anime News Network praised much of the series. Rebecca Silverman said it "is both gorgeous and appalling in its visuals," and "an excellent mix of what 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror: the one is physical, making you want to look away, and the other is intellectual, making you want to know what's going to happen next."[87] Carlo Santos noted that "few [apocalyptic action shows] get as close to perfection as Attack on Titan does". Santos described it as "a masterpiece of death and destruction" after watching only the first episode.[88] Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the musical score and the "intense, impactful first episode" despite his feeling that it has "limited animation". Martin also compared Attack on Titan's vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore.[89]
John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the series one of the best ones he has ever watched and one "that anime fans should not miss".[90] Maya Phillips of New York magazine and Vulture praised the uniqueness of the series, stating, "In our current age of terrifying dystopian realities, it's hard to find a dystopian show with something new to deliver - and yet here it is."[91] Phelim O'Neill of The Guardian, he praised the animation of the series as "spellbinding... It's all wonderfully acrobatic and intense".[92] Regarding the climactic episodes of the third season's second half, Manga.Tokyo called Isayama a "genius" for using the revelations about Grisha's past to smoothly link present events to the beginning of the story.[93]
Crunchyroll listed Attack on Titan in their "Top 25 best anime of the 2010s".[94] IGN and Polygon also listed Attack on Titan among the best anime series of the 2010s.[95][96]
In 2021, during the first part of the final season, Attack on Titan was the most viewed television program in the United States, before it was overtaken by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier shortly before the mid-season finale.[101][102] Attack on Titan broke the Guinness World Record for the "most in-demand anime TV show".[103] The show is also the only anime series to be in TV Time's top 50 most followed TV series ever, currently at number 47, making it one of the few Non-American titles and the only Japanese title in this list.[104] In 2022 Attack on Titan won the award of "Most in-demand TV series in the world 2021" in the Global TV Demand Awards. Attack on Titan became the first ever non-English language series to earn the title of World’s Most In-Demand TV Show, previously held by only The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.[105]
