Attack on Titan’s Final Season is getting a Complete Edition Blu-ray with a collectible steelbook case. Slated to release November 11, roughly one year after Part 3 initially launched on Blu-ray, Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook is up for preorder for $70 at Amazon.

At first glance, $70 for one season of anime may sound pricey, but Parts 1-3 initially launched individually for $65-$70 each without steelbook cases. Even today, buying the standard editions of all three parts would set you back roughly $130. Plus, because Attack on Titan’s fourth and final season was split into three parts that aired over nearly three years, the Complete Steelbook Edition is by far the longest single Blu-ray release for the franchise. You’re effectively getting multiple seasons of content in one seven-disc package.

Check out the Final Season Complete Steelbook and a breakdown of Attack on Titan’s previous Blu-ray releases for Seasons 1-4, including Steelbook Editions for Seasons 1-3. We’ve also outlined the best ways to complete your Attack on Titan manga collection. Here’s a quick rundown of everything covered in this Attack on Titan roundup, including the recently released Attack on Titan Fly: Collector’s Box, which is on sale for a steep discount.

Attack on Titan Anime & Manga

$70 | Releases November 11

The Complete Steelbook Edition includes all 35 episodes from Attack on Titan’s three-part Final Season:

• Part 1: 16 episodes
• Part 2: 12 episodes
• Part 3: 2 TV Specials
  • Special 1: 3 episodes
  • Special 2: 4 episodes

Part 3 initially aired as two lengthy TV specials in 2023. On the same day the second TV special debuted, the first one was split into three regular episodes. Then, two weeks after the finale, the second, even longer special aired as four episodes. As such, the Final Season essentially has 35 total episodes totaling 986 minutes (roughly 16.5 hours). For comparison, the next longest season was the first with 25 episodes.

The seven-disc Blu-ray set also comes with numerous special features:

Attack on Titan: Final Season Steelbook Bonus Content

• Voice Actor Panels for Parts 1-2
• Attack on Titan Chibi Theater (2 parts)

Attack on Titan: Final Season Complete Steelbook Edition (Blu-ray)

The Crunchyroll Store is also taking preorders for $56, but it doesn’t come with a preorder price guarantee, and you’ll need to pay shipping costs unless your order total eclipses $75.

With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you’ll be eligible for any discount offered between the time you order and when the Blu-ray ships this November.

Attack on Titan Seasons 1-3 Steelbook Editions

Attack on Titan’s first three seasons received fresh Steelbook Edition Blu-rays last December for $70 each. Unfortunately, the artwork on these does not match the upcoming Final Season Steelbook. The other unfortunate thing here–if you don’t already have them–is that these aren’t always easy to find. If you want to buy directly from a major retailer, Season 1 is $70 at Amazon. It’s temporarily out of stock but still available to order. Season 2 is available directly from Walmart for 50% off. Season 3’s Steelbook, meanwhile, is currently only available from third-party resellers at both retailers.

Attack on Titan Standard Editions

If you don’t care about having Steelbook Editions for all four seasons, standard editions are available for each of the first three seasons. The Limited Edition for Season 2 is also available for about 10 bucks more than the standard. This version includes a 60-page art book and 24-page digibook. Season 2’s standard edition is the only one that’s actually more expensive than its Steelbook Edition.

Attack on Titan Seasons 1-4: Complete Editions (Blu-ray)

Each Blu-ray in the list below contains a complete season of Attack on Titan.

Just like with the Final Season, Seasons 1 and 3 were also originally released in multiple parts. Season 1 is still available in two parts on Blu-ray, but it’s almost always cheaper to buy the complete version instead.

Attack on Titan Fly: Collector’s Box Set

Attack on Titan 35: Fly Collector’s Box

Big Attack on Titan fans may be interested in checking out the recently released Attack on Titan Fly Collector’s Box Set.

Notably, this box set contains the only English translation of Volume 35 of Attack on Titan, the true final volume in the original manga series.

Attack on Titan Manga

Attack on Titan Manga Box Sets

Attack on Titan’s original 34-volume manga series has been collected in multiple budget-friendly editions over the years. For newcomers who want to read the manga and then watch the anime, one cool way to engage with the franchise is to check out the Attack on Titan box set editions of the manga and then watch the corresponding seasons. The manga box sets are named based on the events covered in the anime.

Each box set comes packaged in a slipcase and includes exclusive bonuses, which we’ve noted below. Notably, the box sets for Seasons 3-4 each include an extra book with exclusive Attack on Titan short stories. At the moment, you’d spend roughly $225 for the complete set of seven Attack on Titan box sets.

Attack on Titan Manga: Omnibus Editions

Attack on Titan Manga Omnibus Editions

The second budget-friendly way to read Attack on Titan in physical format is to pick up the 12 Omnibus Editions for $20 (or less) each. The Omnibus Editions don’t include the extras, but these thick paperbacks are arguably better because they have larger pages and embossed cover art. The first 10 Omnibus Editions are 576 pages each and collect three volumes. Omnibus 11 (384 pages) and 12 (448 pages) contain two volumes each.

The combined MSRP for all 12 ($240) is substantially less than the combined MSRP of the box sets ($374). With current deals at Amazon, all 12 Omnibus Editions would cost you $196, so you’re saving about $30 compared to the box sets.
