Top 10 Anime You Must Watch If You Loved Attack on Titan!

You just finish watching Attack on Titan, and now you have that yawning chasm. I swear, I've been there. It's actually very challenging to find something just as intense in storytelling with the same mind-blowing plot twists and relentless action as AoT. Fear not, though; I've compiled a list of anime that capture similar vibes-from epic battles to layered plots. Ready? Let's go.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Brotherhood has it all: from the captivating storyline to the memorable characters, and sacrifice-and-morality themes. It does not shy away from the ugly side of human nature, and after each episode, you crave more.

2. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

If you liked the strategic, moral, and intellectual brilliance of AoT, then Code Geass is the next step in your journey. It follows a prince-turned-rebel as he leads a revolution with his newfound power to command anyone to obey his will. Expect betrayal, epic battles, and endless mind games.

3. The Promised Neverland (Season 1)

Don't let those innocent kids fool you, this series is all about survival, much like AoT. Piled high with tension, clever plotting, and dramatic reveals, the first season centers around a team of orphans unraveling the chilling truth behind their seemingly idyllic institution.

4. Vinland Saga

Enter the world of Vinland Saga. A story of revenge, war, and self-discovery as raw as it is glorious. The emotional depth and intense battles will resonate with any AoT fan.

5. Death Note

What if a genius teenager found a notebook that let him kill anyone just by writing the name of his target? Death Note is a psychological thriller that covers issues related to power, justice, and corruption. Riveting, with really that tension AoT fans just love.

6. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

For animation bingers and hardcore fight fans, Demon Slayer is a must-see. Tanjiro's quest to save his little sister and avenge his family parallels the emotional tension of AoT, and the combat sequences are spectacular.

7. Tokyo Ghoul

Dark, violent and emotionally driven, Tokyo Ghoul depicts the aftermath of the collision between people and ghouls. Kaneki’s transformation and struggle to survive in a hostile world parallel Eren’s journey in many ways.

8. Made in Abyss

Don't be deceived by the adorable art; it gets grimy. This anime tells a story of two explorers making rounds in a weird abyss full of fascination and fear. The creepy atmosphere and its poignant narrative work do well to remind one of those introspective AoT scenes.

9. Parasyte: The Maxim

Imagine if your hand is captured by an alien parasite upon waking up. That's basically the premise of Parasyte: body horror, action, and existentialism are all part of it, with the hero unable to but question his humanity.

10. Akame ga Kill!

This anime doesn't hold its punches. A brutal story of rebellion against a corrupted empire, it has a large cast of characters cheering and crying with them in every scene. The subjects of giving and the toll of war makes this a good choice for readers of AoT.

Final Thoughts

Of course, there's no anime that can perfectly snuggle up to the giant's feet of Attack on Titan, but ten would have your back: I would say holes in each of these plays. Each brings something unique into its own while delivering the same degree of intensity, deep meaning, and action one hopes for. So why not enter these grand universes and tell me which comes up as your favorite ultimately?.
