A Monumental Conclusion to a Legendary Series
Based on the award-winning manga by Hajime Isayama, Attack on Titan has taken the world by storm since its anime series premiered in 2014. It tells the story of what remains of humanity, which lives behind enormous walls to save itself from gigantic man-eating Titans. At the center of this saga is Eren Yeager, a young boy whose life is turned upside down when Titans break through the walls and cause his mother’s death. Driven by vengeance, Eren joins the Survey Corps, a group of elite soldiers fighting to uncover the truth behind the Titans and humanity’s precarious existence. This anime series, spanning four seasons, ranges through such deep subjects as freedom, morality, and survival. From magnificent storytelling to stunning animation, this is praise-worthy on all levels, with three of its seasons maintaining a 100% critic score and over 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the greatest anime productions. On IMDb, it also ranks an impressive #23 among the top 250 TV shows, a testament to its universal appeal.
The Grand Finale: Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK

It had been a hundred years of peace for humanity behind the walls until the horde of Titans invaded their city, killing dreams and hopes in one instant. In Eren Yeager’s case, that means losing his mother and innocence. Joining the Survey Corps, he vows revenge against the Titans and to uncover the secrets of their world.
But as Eren gains new powers and truths are revealed, his ideals shift dramatically. Confronted with betrayal, isolation, and his own moral reckoning, Eren sets into motion a devastating plan Rumbling, an event that will destroy all life outside the walls.
