in front Attack on Titan The anime finally came to an end at the end of last year, but it was a standard gag that the show never ended – it gained some notoriety because it was split into four parts over the course of three years, but it seems like it’s not over yet.
Today, studio MAPPA revealed that they are developing another film in the series, titled Attack on Titan The Last Attack The 145-minute film consists of the last two parts of the anime’s final season (i.e. episodes 29-35). In an interview with Crunchyroll, series director Yuichiro Hayashi said that the visuals will be updated from the original broadcast version. As for why they chose to make the final episode into a film, he explained that they had storyboarded the final season during development.[thinking] “This work was meant to be viewed as a single film. To have the opportunity to have everyone watch it in the perfect environment of a theater is a dream come true for me.”
To be fair, compilation films Attack on TitanThere was at least one for each season, and subsequent movies served as a summary of that season. In the case of season 4, the final two parts were released first as a pair of specials and then as individual episodes. Still, it’s a bit odd that MAPPA has yet to fully move on from this series. Could this be a true final farewell before the studio commits to the next series? Jujutsu Kaisen Or any other project?
