Hajime Isayama’sAttack on Titanis undeniably one of the most loved anime-manga series of all time. The manga ended its run in 2021, whereas the anime concluded withThe Final Chaptersin 2023. Fans bid goodbye to their favorite series, only for the makers to announceAttack on Titan: The Last Attack. With a recent announcement, the makers have confirmed that this new movie will feature new content.
While that’s a matter of joy for any fan of the series, there’s no denying that the makers are trying to cash in on the series’ massive popularity. GivenAttack on Titan‘s legacy and its track record, it might be time they leave the series to rest respectfully before they dampen its glory.
Attack on Titan: The Last AttackBrings Bonus Content
In 2023, the story ofAttack of Titanconcluded in the anime with two special episodes. It was recently announced that the episodes would be compiled into a full-length movie and released in the theatres under the title ‘The Last Attack’. The movie will hit the theatres on November 8th, and most fans are gearing up for their trip to the cinemas.
If the glorious animation weren’t enough, the makers have the perfect bait to make the most out of the theatre release. There’ll be a post-credit scene in the movie that will feature new content. It has not been clearly stated what exactly it will be. But, it’s the perfect way to bring the fans to the theatre.

While fans are excited to enjoy more content from their favorite series, it’s easy to tell that it’s just another to gain easy profits from the existing popularity ofAttack on Titan. The ending ofHajime Isayama‘s manga caused a huge uproar. The time difference between the manga ending and the anime ending gave some time for the commotion to settle down.
Hajime Isayama Wanted Attack on Titan to be “Easy to understand” Before the Anime Became a Literal Deep Dive into Racism and Prejudice
So, when the anime ending finally arrived, fans could see it with a fresh perspective. The few tweaks and giving fans some time proved beneficial for the anime ending as fans were more understanding of the final developments in the story. They should follow a similar approach if they want to introduce new content.
It’s Time to Stop MonetizingAttack on Titan’s Popularity
If the upcoming movie turns out to be a huge success, it’ll pave the way for similar low-effort projects to be released in the future. However, it might end up ruining whatAttack on Titanhas built over the years. Fans truly appreciate Isayama’s storytelling and they can see through whatever is happening.
Isayama has enriched his story with a multitude of themes and executed it with a layered approach. He never undermined the entertainment quotient and kept it alive through adrenaline-inducing fights and occasional light-hearted moments. If such strong storytelling is followed by lackluster subsequent additions, it’ll just leave a bad last impression on fans. What happened withNarutois the best example of how it can happen.
Hajime Isayama Confirmed He Would Have Never Made Attack on Titan if He was “Bold enough and leaped”
Instead of letting the ending ofNarutosimmer,Borutowas announced soon afterward and even started serializing. The ending was overwritten by this new beginning which failed to meet the standards, and nowBorutohas ruined whatNarutoonce stood for. It won’t be long beforeAttack on Titangoes down the same path. It would be better if they let it enjoy its glory and prominence instead of using it for easy monetary returns.
Attack on Titanis available to stream on Crunchyroll.
