This guide will show you the best movies and series (including anime) that fans of Attack on Titan will love. It will also let you know where they’re all streaming online right now.

Attack on Titan is one of the most praised mangas and animes ever. The series centers around the race of Eldians, who live in a society protected behind three giant walls. But massive humanoid monsters called Titans begin to attack – and as the series continues, the Titans’ origin adds a level of depth and emotion to this action-packed dystopian story. If you love Attack on Titan, use our guide below to discover more great movies and series you’ll love.

Wayward Pines

A mysterious society in the future built on lies that hides behind a giant wall to keep monsters away…sound familiar? Any fan of Attack on Titan will immediately recognize that while it’s never been officially talked about, Wayward Pines clearly has taken massive inspiration from the anime. The show’s vibe can be described as Attack on Titan + Twin Peaks + Stranger Things = Wayward Pines.

Berserk

Berserk follows a warrior in a fictional medieval world and the enemies he comes across. Just like Attack on Titan, the manga and anime can be incredibly bleak and unrelenting, offering social commentary and underlying messages that force viewers to think.

Pacific Rim

The Titans in Attack on Titan share tons of similarities with Kaijus in monster movies. They’re giant, destructive, unpredictable, and incredibly strong. So fans of the manga and anime should absolutely check out some great kaiju films for a similar feel. In Pacific Rim, humanity decides to fight back in giant robots called Jaegers, leading to explosive battles.

86 - EIGHTY SIX

In 86, two societies use giant robots to wage warfare against each other. One side believes that the robots are all remotely controlled or autonomous…but in reality, the opponents are actually piloting their robots with real people known as 86 – a marginalized minority group that’s been deemed inhuman – using them like kamikaze bombers, knowing they’ll die. If you loved the tough questions and situations posed in Attack on Titan, you’ll love 86.

Stardust

Looking for something wildly different, but somehow similar? In Stardust, two worlds are separated by a wall: The mortal world, and a realm full of magic, monsters, and fairytales. The way the wall separates the worlds and the looming danger on the magical side has an oddly similar feel to Attack on Titan, despite the two being very different. If you want something way out of left field that still somehow feels similar to Attack on Titan, this is it.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers 

I won’t be giving away any spoilers, but if you know Attack on Titan, you know there’s a reason why the Titans have such an unrelenting appetite for people (and if you don’t know, then you better watch the show because it’s amazing). For something similar, check out The Faculty, which is about an alien race who needs to use human bodies to survive and replicate.

Children of Men

If you watch Attack on Titan long enough, you discover it isn’t really a series about monsters, it’s actually about humanity attacking itself…at the detriment of humanity. That raises so many questions and feels so dystopian, giving Attack on Titan a huge dose of emotional weight. For something similar, check out Children of Men. In the movie, humans become infertile and the realization that humanity is dying off drives people to madness, causing society to attack itself.
