The time has come to say goodbye to one of the most acclaimed anime titles of the last decade among international audiences. The epic story of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) enters its peak with the new episodes of its final season, but will it live up to the high expectations of fans?
Here are all the essential information you should know about the conclusion of the saga created by Hajime Isayama:
The franchise Attack on Titan
Shingeki no Kyojin has its origin in the homonymous manga written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama, which was serialized in the publication Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine between September 2009 and April 2021. The Kōdansha publishing house compiled the work in a total of 34 volumes and has sold more than 100 million copies around the world.
In this story, humanity was on the brink of extinction many years ago after the appearance of the “Titans”, giant creatures that devastated entire cities and devoured all the people they encountered. The survivors managed to take shelter in a fortified city with high walls, which is said to be the last bastion of civilization. However, that relative peace is interrupted by a chain of tragic events that will reveal the true origin and purpose of the Titans.
The print has inspired numerous manga spin-off, light novels, films live action, tons of merchandise, and of course a hit anime adaptation comprised of 75 episodes, numerous specials and four compilation films since its premiere in 2013.
