Mark your calendars, as the highly anticipated third part of Attack on Titan‘s final season is set to air on March 3rd in Japan. As it’s a simulcast it’ll be available in the States on March 4th. It’ll be a part of this year’s Spring lineup of new anime releases, but MAPPA has revealed it’ll release in two parts with the second half released later in 2023. The mention of a “special broadcast” may hint that this isn’t multiple episodes but rather a special.
We’re pleased to announce the release date of Attack on Titan: The Final Season. Our initial goal was to broadcast the entire Final Season on March 3rd 2023. However, in the production process, the workload became must larger than expected. After consulting with the production committee, we’ve decided to release the Final Season in two parts
Studio MAPPA
Although there might be some theories that the studio divided the season into two parts because they want to potentially “milk” the franchise, this is not a first for MAPPA. This situation happened before when they took hold of the series after its third season, because of the magazine’s problems with Wit Studio. Sadly, this is another case of history repeating itself, as MAPPA might have bitten off more than it can chew once again.
Attack On Titan was quite the hit when it was first released worldwide and there’s a lot of excitement to see how they will wrap up the series. Yet, the series has also lost its momentum having to stretch out the last few seasons, especially after a long hiatus before continuing after its initial success. Still, there’s excitement
