The anime based on the successful manga Hajime Isayama“Shingeki no Kyojin“, will reach its definitive conclusion with the premiere of the film”Shingeki no Kyojin: Kanketsu-hen – The Last Attack“, which will be shown in cinemas from November 8th. This work will mark the grand finale of a saga that has captured the imagination of fans around the world since its debut in 2013, offering a unique cinematic experience to say goodbye to Eren Yeager and the rest of the characters in their final fight.

The film is a reconstructed and improved version of the last two episodes of “The Final Season: Kanketsu-hen”, which aired in March and November 2023. In this extended format, the film will be 145 minutes long and will be optimized with a 5.1-channel surround sound system, promising to immerse the viewer in an epic and immersive final confrontation. Yuichiro Hayashi, the film's director, expressed his satisfaction at having achieved what he considered a personal goal: bringing this ending to the big screen. Hayashi commented:

• «I am honored to finally be able to share this announcement. I have always envisioned this work as a film, and being able to offer it in the best possible experience, in the theater, is a dream come true. We are working to improve the scenes and optimize the material. Don't miss the chance to 'feel' the Rumble on the big screen!».

The film's soundtrack will also be a key factor in this epic farewell. Linked Horizon, the band that has been with the series since its beginning, will once again perform the main song with the theme “Nisen-nen… Moshikuwa… Ni-man-nen-go no Kimi e…”, maintaining the emotional connection with the events of the series and closing the musical cycle of “The Final Season”.

Since its debut in 2009, Hajime Isayama's manga has been one of the most influential works in the dark fantasy genre, being serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine until its conclusion in 2021. Over the course of its 37 volumes, it has sold over 140 million copies worldwide, establishing itself as one of the best-selling manga series in history. The anime series, which began airing in 2013, quickly became a global phenomenon, known for its dark storytelling, complex characters and shocking action scenes.

The journey of Eren, Mikasa, Armin and other characters has been one of the most intense and exciting of the last decade. The story of betrayal, war and survival that began with the mysterious attack of the titans has evolved into a much deeper conflict that questions the role of freedom, revenge and humanity itself. This ending, portrayed in “The Last Attack,” promises to close all these chapters and leave a lasting mark on the history of anime.

“Shingeki no Kyojin: Kanketsu-hen – The Last Attack” is not only the culmination of years of character development and epic conflicts, but also a tribute to the tireless work of the creators and the fervor of a community of fans who followed close every step of the journey. With this cinematic ending, fans will be able to say goodbye to one of the most iconic anime sagas in the best visual and audio experience possible.
