New Trailer for ATTACK ON TITAN Shows 3D Maneuver Gear in Action!
There's tons of awesome new footage to see in this latest trailer for Attack on Titan! One of the things I've been eagerly waiting to see was how the 3D maneuver gear was going to look in the movie, and as you'll see, the filmmaker handled it really well. On top of that, there is even more Titan carnage.
The story of Attack on Titan takes place in a world where the remnants of humanity live inside a series of connected cities, isolated by enormous walls. These walls exists to keep the Titans out, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason. These Titans have reduced the world's population to staggeringly low numbers. The 3 main protagonists of Isayama's manga are Eren Jaeger, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert. Their lives are changed forever when a "Colossal Titan" breaches the wall protecting their town, leading to thee death of Eren's mother. Vowing revenge and to reclaim the world from the Titans, Eren, Mikasa and Armin join the Survey Corps, an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls. Haruma Miura plays Eren. Kiko Mizuhara is Mikasa. Kanata Hongo will play Armin. Satomi Ishihara portrays Hanji. Nanami Sakuraba is Sasha. Takahiro Miura is Jean.
There will be two Attack on Titan movies coming, both directed by Shinji Higuchi, and Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama consulted on them. He helped create some new characters for the story that will stay true to the source material.
The first film will be released August 1st, and the second will hit theaters a month later on September 19th in Japan. Hopefully it makes its way to the U.S.! I also provided a translation of what is said in the the trailer.
