Attack on Titan Season 3 Releases First Trailer

Attack on Titan's third season has to be one of the most anticipated returns in recent memory, and fans have been clamoring to learn more about the anime and what it will introduce to its world in the newest season. With the first trailer for the season, fans know a lot more now! Not only is the Scout Regiment's activity slowed behind the wall, but this season will feature more human on human fighting than ever seen in the series before.

WIT Studio is teasing better animation and a bigger role for Levi Ackermann and the mysterious "Kenny" found at the beginning of the trailer and first key visual for the season. If you're itching for the third season of the series it has also revealed the cast and crew for the upcoming season as well which includes many returning characters as well as some new faces.

The director, who worked on Attack on Titan's first two seasons, told fans earlier this year they had a lot to look forward to with season three.

“We really enjoyed making the anime and felt it turned out well in the end. Although the anime takes a break here, we’re still working on it. We will put our best efforts into making season 3,” Araki told fans during an in-studio interview. “Will the person wear glasses at the end of season 2 play a part in season 3? Will everyone be able to survive? Will somebody die? It’s hard to know. Look forward to the next season. We’re still having fun making Attack on Titan.”

For those unfamiliar with Attack on Titan, the series was originally created by Hajime Isayama. Starting its run in Kondansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009, the series has been collected into 23 volumes as of 2017. It's set in a world where the last remnants of humanity live in a walled city in order to escape the danger of the Titans, a race of giants monsters that eat humans. Eren Yeager joins the military with his two childhood friends Mikasa and Armin after the Titans break through the wall and attack his hometown.

The series was adapted into an anime from Wit Studio and Production I.G. with a third season premiering later this year.
