Running for 145 minutes, the Attack on Titan movie will pick up where episode 87’s The Dawn of Humanity left off: an assembled team of allies and one-time enemies – including Mikasa, Levi, Gabi, Armin, and Annie – aiming to put an end to Eren’s master plan of The Rumbling.
Essentially a cataclysmic event that will wipe out the whole world, Eren commandeers an army of Colossal Titans and outlines his intention to put an end to the cycle of violence by destroying everything in Marley and beyond to protect the Island of Paradis. From there? Well, that would be telling – but it brings a definitive end to the Attack on Titan saga.
The new Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack trailer is here. Unlike theprevious teaser, this one is far more transparent with what goes down. So, if you haven’t seen the Final Chapters yet, it’s best to look away now.
In it, various scenes from the two-part finale are shown, with the action mostly focusing on Eren’s Founding Titan and Mikasa zipping through the acrid air during the Battle for Heaven and Earth.
Attack on Titan’s Last Attack movie has some slight changes compared to the Final Chapters. The biggest, most obvious difference is the sound quality – with The Last Attack featuring 5.1 surround sound.
The visuals from the anime will also be ‘updated’, though it’s not yet known at this juncture what exact form that will take. Expect, perhaps, slightly smoother animations and designs from the perfectionist team at MAPPA.
On top of that, series director Yuichiro Hayashi feels the Last Attack movie is going to be the definitive way to watch Attack on Titan’s ending.
Hayashi said in a statement (H/TCrunchyroll), “I originally drew the storyboards [for The Final Chapters] with the idea that it would be watched as a single movie. So, having the opportunity to have everyone watch it in the best possible environment, the theater, is a dream come true for me.”
A new post-credits scene is also included in The Last Attack. If you don’t want to know its contents then look away now, becausespoilersfollow.
Once the credits finish rolling on The Last Attack, fans are treated to an adaptation of the ‘School Castes’ manga, an alternate universe story that features Eren, Mikasa, and Armin in a more contemporary high school setting.
In particular, this scene is an animated version of ‘End Roll’, which sees the trio head to a cinema to watch the final movie of a long-running series. After, they each give their (meta) thoughts on how it all came to an end.
The cast for the Attack on Titan movie will almost certainly remain identical to the anime. As an English dub hasn’t yet been confirmed, we’re sticking to the Japanese cast for now:
