Earlier than Assault on Titan’s anime lastly wrapped up late final 12 months, it was a working gag that the present simply wouldn’t finish. Being break up into 4 elements throughout three years gave it a infamous fame, and it seems we’re not carried out simply but.
Earlier right now, Studio MAPPA revealed it’s acquired 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 ultimate season (so episodes 29-35). Chatting with Crunchyroll, sequence director Yuichiro Hayashi stated the visuals could be up to date from their unique 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 at the least one per season, and later films served as recaps for the seasons they have been hooked up to. In season 4’s case, the final two elements have been initially launched as a pair of specials earlier than they have been launched as particular person episodes in a while. Nonetheless, it’s a little humorous that MAPPA simply hasn’t been capable of totally unattach itself from this sequence and transfer on fairly but. Will this be the studio’s true, ultimate 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.
And if that film doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, Assault on Titan’s ultimate chapters will launch on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 26.
