Attack on Titan releases final trailer for anime series with last episode airing on November 4. Studio MAPPA, under the direction of Yuichiro Hayashi, is animating the series. The band Linked Horizon, known for theme songs from previous seasons, will return for the opening theme song, while Ai Higuchi performs the ending song “Itterasshai / See You Later”.
The trailer, unveiled yesterday, revealed that the final episode will be an hour and 25 minutes long. The previous episode, titled Attack on Titan Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special, was 61 minutes in length.
Linked Horizon’s new song, “Nisennen… Moshiku wa… Nimannengo no Kimi e… / Two Thousand Years… Or… 20,000 Years From Now…”, will be released in Japan on November 5, right after the finale’s premiere. The album art and a new artist photo for REVO, the singer and songwriter of Linked Horizon, have been released. REVO has previously created popular songs like “Guren no Yumiya” and “Shinzo wo Sasageyo” for the anime.
Ai Higuchi, the singer of the ending theme song, is known for her work on “Akuma no Ko,” the ending theme song of Attack on Titan Part 2. She has previously revealed that the song was not the only one inspired by Attack on Titan.
To commemorate the conclusion of the anime, an online event called Attack on Titan: After Party will be held.
