MAPPA Explains Why Attack On Titan: The Final Season Seemingly Goes On Forever

By Janiene LerioJanuary 20, 2023

On January 17, 2023, the official website of Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan anime has revealed that Part 3 of the Final Season will be released sooner than fans had anticipated. However, once the excitement wore off, fans were surprised to learn that the final episodes of the anime would once again be split and aired into two parts.

The studio in charge of animating the final season of Attack on Titan, MAPPA, revealed in a statement that they had originally planned to broadcast the entirety of Part 3 beginning March 3, 2023. However, the amount of work required for animating the season proved to be much greater than anticipated, forcing the staff to split Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 3 into two parts.

The staff also apologized to fans who were looking forward to seeing the full animated version of the Colossal Titans marching and promised that everyone would keep working on the anime until the end.

Aside from the official website, MAPPA also took to Twitter to relay the news to the fans, check out their official statement below:

【お知らせ】 このたび、TVアニメ「進撃の巨人」The Final Season完結編が、 前・後編の二部構成での放送となりますことをご報告させて頂きます。 ご理解を賜れますよう宜しくお願い申し上げます。

After the conclusion of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2, there were only 9 chapters of the manga left to be adapted. All nine chapters are focused on the march of the colossal titans, which explains the voluminous work that the staff must do in animating the series.

Part 2 of The Final Season premiered in Japan on January 9, 2022. Crunchyroll and Funimation were both streaming the episodes live as they aired. Attack on Titan: Final Season Part 2 began airing on Toonami on February 12, 2022.

Wit Studio produced seasons 1-3 of the anime, and MAPPA produced season 4.

Everybody is certainly looking forward to the final season, and we are hoping that all the waiting is worth it!

A Romance and Slice-of-Life Anime enthusiast who's currently hyper-fixated on One Piece may not be ideal in a perfect world, but it's the best description that describes me! I have been writing for as long as I can remember and being able to combine writing with another one of my hobbies is such a joy.
