The original Attack on Titan manga by Hajime Isayama ran from 2009 to 2021. The English version of the manga is published by Kondasha and is available in its entirety in English. The original manga went on to inspire a multi-media franchise including the anime adaptation, a light novel prequel, a two-part live-action movie, and multiple video games. The anime adaptation of the manga began airing in 2013 and concluded in 2023. Fans may be interested to know that a compilation film of the anime's last season, Attack on Titan - THE FINAL CHAPTER: THE LAST ATTACK, is scheduled for release on November 8, 2024 in Japanese theaters. A North American release has not been announced as of this writing.
The Attack on Titan anime is available for viewers to stream on Crunchyroll. Additionally, Crunchyroll has announced that Attack on Titan Final Season is coming to the Crunchyroll store in both standard and limited editions as part of Crunchyroll's November 2024 home video releases. Pre-orders are now open.
Attack on Titan's upcoming 15th anniversary is the perfect opportunity for longtime fans to celebrate the legacy of this iconic anime. However, it's not too late for new fans to check out Attack on Titan for the first time. For fans unfamiliar with Attack on Titan, Crunchyroll describes the series like this:
"Known in Japan as Shingeki no Kyojin, many years ago, the last remnants of humanity were forced to retreat behind the towering walls of a fortified city to escape the massive, man-eating Titans that roamed the land outside their fortress. Only the heroic members of the Scouting Legion dared to stray beyond the safety of the walls – but even those brave warriors seldom returned alive. Those within the city clung to the illusion of a peaceful existence until the day that dream was shattered, and their slim chance at survival was reduced to one horrifying choice: kill – or be devoured!"Crunchyroll
