The trailer for the new Attack On Titan film has dropped – check it out below.
Entitled Attack On Titan The Movie: The Last Attack, it is set to be made up of the show’s two final chapters from the concluding season.
Adapted from the manga by Hajime Isayama, the series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has retreated into a fortified city to escape giant, man-eating Titans.
Attack On Titan first debuted in 2013 to widespread acclaim. The show’s fourth and final season was stretched across three parts. The first aired in December 2020, followed by part two in January 2022. The third and final part was split into two feature-length specials, with the first having aired in March last year and the second in November 2023.
In a four-star review, NME described the final episode as an “epic conclusion”, writing: “In the end, Attack On Titan remains a cynical, unsparing and gruesome cautionary tale about humanity’s worst impulses. But as long as there are Armins out there, we can always hope to do better.”
Speaking to The New York Times about the ending, Isayama said it would have been “hokey” to culminate with a happy resolution.
“I guess there could have been an ending where it was a happy ending and the war ended and everything was fine and dandy,” Isayama said. “I guess that could have been possible. At the same time, the end of fighting and the end of contention itself kind of seems hokey.
“It kind of seems like it’s not even believable. It’s just not plausible in the world we’re living in right now. And so, sadly, I had to give up on that kind of happy ending.”
The new movie is set to debut in Japan on November 8. No release date in the US or UK has yet been set.
Since its inception the show has spawned a stage musical adaptation which premiered in Japan in 2022.
Attack On Titan is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
