The first half of the season was full of action and political intrigue, so what can fans expect from Attack On Titan season 3 when it returns? The Attack On Titan manga began in 2009 and was created by Hajime Isayama. The story takes place in a walled city where what remains of humanity takes shelter from giant, humanoid creatures known as Titans. After a long period of peace, a massive Titan suddenly appears outside the city’s outermost wall and breaches it, causing other Titans to flood in and devour the unlucky civilians inside, with the survivors retreating behind the city’s second wall.

The Attack On Titan anime soon arrived in 2013 and proved to be a huge cult success, due to its rich characters, in-depth world building and exciting action sequences. The anime is a faithful adaptation of the manga, where main protagonist Eren Yeager vows revenge against the Titans and joins the military - but soon finds he harbors a mysterious power that could help turn the tide against the giants. The story is full of shocking twists and horrifying deaths, and the show is rarely predictable. The franchise received a two-part live-action movie adaptation in Japan in 2015, though reviews of both movies were mixed. IT director Andy Muschietti is currently attached to an English language remake.

Attack On Titan season 3 took a break after episode 12 “Night of the Battle to Retake the Wall,” so when will the series return and what can fans expect from part 2?

Attack On Titan season 3 will return on April 29 in Japan and will air on Adult Swim on May 25 in the U.S. That’s roughly a six-month gap between the first half of season 3, and whereas the first part of this season’s plot focused on the politics within the city, the second half promises to be a full-on Titan action spectacle.

Is There An Attack On Titan Season 3 Part 2 Trailer?

A trailer for Attack On Titan season 3’s second half promises an intense battle to seal Wall Maria and destroy the remaining Titans left inside the Shiganshina District. The opening episode is called “The Town Where Everything Began” which should recall the show’s memorable opening episodes when the wall was first breached. It should also prove to be a very personal fight for the heroes.

What Is The Story Of Attack On Titan Season 3 Part 2?

A lot happened in the first part of Attack On Titan season 3.
