Attack on Titan Coloring Book Review: Bring the Epic World of Titans to Life

If you're a fan of anime, chances are you've heard of Attack on Titan. With its towering Titans, breathtaking action scenes, and unforgettable characters, it's become one of the most popular anime and manga series of all time.

So when I discovered there was an official Attack on Titan Coloring Book, I had to check it out.

As someone who enjoys both coloring books and anime, I was curious to see whether it was simply a collection of manga panels or something more. Here's a look inside and my thoughts after flipping through every page.

First Impressions

The book immediately feels like an official product.

Unlike many anime coloring books you'll find online—which are often independently created—this one is officially licensed, and it shows.

The paper quality is much better than your typical print-on-demand coloring book, and the artwork stays true to the original series.

The opening pages even feature what looks like a map, setting the stage before diving into the illustrations.

Is It Original Artwork?

One of the first questions I had was whether the artwork had been created specifically for the coloring book.

After looking through it, I think many of the illustrations are taken directly from the manga and enlarged into coloring pages.

Honestly, I don't mind that at all.

In fact, I've often thought it would be fun to color manga pages myself. Since most manga is printed in black and white, every volume is basically a coloring book waiting for someone to pick up some pencils.

This book simply saves you from coloring inside your manga collection!

Huge Full-Page Illustrations

One thing I really appreciated was the number of full-page scenes.

Instead of filling the book with tiny character portraits or decorative patterns, many pages feature dramatic action scenes pulled straight from the story.

These larger illustrations are definitely my favorites.

Some pages almost feel like posters you could frame after coloring.

The Artwork

The illustrations capture the distinctive style of the manga beautifully.

Some pages have a rough, sketch-like appearance that mirrors the original artwork, while others feature highly detailed action scenes with plenty of movement and atmosphere.

Fans of the series will immediately recognize:

• The Survey Corps
• Massive Titans
• Battles outside the walls
• Cityscapes
• Dramatic close-ups
• Iconic moments from the story

Near the end of the book, I noticed something I thought was especially interesting.

Several pages actually list the manga chapters where the artwork originally appeared.

That's a nice touch for longtime fans who want to revisit those moments in the original series.

Thick Paper for an Official Coloring Book

The paper quality is another highlight.

Because this is an officially published coloring book, the pages are noticeably thicker than many print-on-demand books.

That said, I'd still recommend testing your markers first.

Alcohol markers may still bleed through, and since many illustrations are printed on both sides of the page, you probably won't want to risk ruining another image.

Colored pencils are likely the safest choice.

If you're determined to use markers, try them on one of the blank pages included near the back before committing to a finished illustration.

Some Pages Are Better Than Others

Like most coloring books, I definitely had favorites.

The large character illustrations and dramatic Titan battles stood out the most.

One or two pages featuring extremely detailed cityscapes weren't quite my style.

If you love tiny architectural details, you'll probably enjoy those pages.

Personally, I'd rather spend my time coloring Titans than individual bricks.

Duplicate Artwork

I noticed that one illustration appears twice in the book.

I'm not entirely sure why.

Perhaps it gives colorists a second chance to experiment with different color schemes, or maybe it was simply included for layout purposes.

Either way, it wasn't a major issue.

Waiting for the Anime Finale

While flipping through the book, I couldn't help thinking about the anime itself.

At the time I reviewed the coloring book, I was still waiting for the final part of the series to be released.

Attack on Titan is one of those rare shows that constantly raises the stakes, and seeing these scenes again made me want to jump back into the story.

A Great Coloring Book for Anime Fans

One thing I've noticed while reviewing coloring books is that official anime coloring books are surprisingly difficult to find.

There are countless unofficial books available online, but officially licensed editions like this one are much less common.

That's one reason this book stands out.

If you're specifically looking for authentic Attack on Titan artwork to color, this is one of the better options available.

Final Verdict

The Attack on Titan Coloring Book does exactly what I hoped it would.

It gives fans the opportunity to experience some of the manga's most iconic artwork in a whole new way.

What I Loved

• Officially licensed artwork
• Thick, high-quality paper
• Beautiful full-page illustrations
• Large action scenes
• Manga chapter references
• Great selection of Titans and characters

Things to Keep in Mind

• Many illustrations appear to come directly from the manga.
• Several pages are printed on both sides, making markers a little risky.
• A few pages contain extremely intricate details that may take quite a while to finish.

Overall, this is one of the better anime coloring books I've reviewed.

If you're an Attack on Titan fan who enjoys coloring, it's an easy recommendation. Whether you stick to the anime's color palette or create your own interpretation, there's plenty here to keep you busy.

Now I just need more official manga coloring books to add to my collection!

Final Thoughts

I really hope more publishers start releasing official coloring books for popular anime and manga series.

Imagine coloring books for classics like Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, or Demon Slayer—I'd happily add those to my shelf.

Until then, the Attack on Titan Coloring Book is a fantastic choice for fans who want to spend a little more time inside one of anime's most unforgettable worlds.

And yes... my cat did try to review the book at the end of the video.

I think that means it earned the official Spooky Cat Lady seal of approval.
