The Attack on Titan anime series is based on the award-winning manga by Hajime Isayama.
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. Only the heroic members of the Survey Corps 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! A young child, Eren Yeager, lost his mother to these monstrous Titans on this fateful day, driving him to enlist in the Survey Corps and vowing to defeat the titans once and for all.
The award-winning series premiered in 2014 with four seasons and concluded in Fall 2023, and has won over fans and critics alike. Three of the seasons have garnered a 100% critic score and over 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and has ranked #23 out of the top 250 TV Shows on IMDb (as rated by IMDb users).
Official Film Synopsis:
Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the highly acclaimed anime series, delivering the epic finale in a colossal-sized omnibus film.
Humanity lived quietly behind massive walls built to protect themselves from the threat of monstrous creatures called Titans. Their century of peace was shattered by an attack on their city that left a young child, Eren Yeager, motherless and vowing revenge on the titans.
Years after joining the Survey Corps, Eren finds himself facing a deadly foe, and ultimately gaining a special ability that unveils a new truth about the world he knows…
After venturing beyond the walls and separated from his comrades, Eren finds himself inspired by this new truth and plots the “Rumbling,” a terrifying plan to eradicate every living thing in the world. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a motley crew of Eren’s former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission. The only question is, can they stop him?
