In some way, Assault on Titan Has Returned One Final Time

Earlier than Attack on Titan’s anime lastly wrapped up late last year, it was a operating gag that the present simply wouldn’t finish. Being cut up into 4 elements throughout three years gave it a infamous status, and it seems we’re not completed simply but.

Earlier in the present day, Studio MAPPA revealed it’s obtained yet one more movie for the sequence within the works. Fittingly titled Assault on Titan The Film: The Final Assault, the 145-minute movie contains the final two elements of the anime’s remaining season (so episodes 29-35). Talking to Crunchyroll, sequence director Yuichiro Hayashi stated the visuals could be up to date from their authentic aired model. As for why flip the finale into a movie, he defined that in improvement, he drew storyboards for the final season “[thinking] it’d be watched as a single film. Having the chance to have everybody watch it in the very best setting, the theater, is a dream come true for me.”

To be honest, compilation movies are nothing new for Assault on Titan. There’s been a minimum of one per season, and later films served as recaps for the seasons they had been hooked up to. In season 4’s case, the final two elements had been initially launched as a pair of specials earlier than they had been launched as particular person episodes in a while. Nonetheless, it’s a little humorous that MAPPA simply hasn’t been in a position to totally unattach itself from this sequence and transfer on fairly but. Will this be the studio’s true, remaining farewell earlier than committing to Jujutsu Kaisen or different initiatives? We’ll discover out when Assault on Titan The Film: The Final Assault hits theaters on November 8 in Japan.
