The Attack on Titan movie now has a western release date, and not a moment too soon.

A feature-length presentation of Attack on Titan’s Final Chapters, the 145-minute film (titled The Last Attack) gives us plenty of reason to double dip on Eren’s endgame, includinga new post-credits scene.

While we await next year’s release, we’re here to give you the lowdown on Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack. That includes a brand new trailer, a look at the differences between the movie and the TV show, and which parts of Attack on Titan’s story it will cover.

Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack is being released in North America on February 10. The feature is also heading to UK cinemas for a limited time only on February 26 and February 27. It’s also coming to other regions including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Brazil. No surprise, really, given the overwhelming success of anime movies such as Demon Slayer: Mugen Train and The First Slam Dunk in recent years.

Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack is, essentially, the two final episodes of the Attack on Titan anime brought together as one long feature presentation.

Running for 145 minutes, the Attack on Titan movie will pick up where episode 87’s The Dawn of Humanity left off: an assembled team of allies and one-time enemies – including Mikasa, Levi, Gabi, Armin, and Annie – aiming to put an end to Eren’s master plan of The Rumbling.

The new Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack trailer is here. Unlike theprevious teaser, this one is far more transparent with what goes down. So, if you haven’t seen the Final Chapters yet, it’s best to look away now.

In it, various scenes from the two-part finale are shown, with the action mostly focusing on Eren’s Founding Titan and Mikasa zipping through the acrid air during the Battle for Heaven and Earth.

Attack on Titan’s Last Attack movie has some slight changes compared to the Final Chapters. The biggest, most obvious difference is the sound quality – with The Last Attack featuring 5.1 surround sound.

The visuals from the anime will also be ‘updated’, though it’s not yet known at this juncture what exact form that will take. Expect, perhaps, slightly smoother animations and designs from the perfectionist team at MAPPA.

On top of that, series director Yuichiro Hayashi feels the Last Attack movie is going to be the definitive way to watch Attack on Titan’s ending.

Hayashi said in a statement (H/TCrunchyroll), “I originally drew the storyboards [for The Final Chapters] with the idea that it would be watched as a single movie. So, having the opportunity to have everyone watch it in the best possible environment, the theater, is a dream come true for me.”

A new post-credits scene is also included in The Last Attack. If you don’t want to know its contents then look away now, becausespoilersfollow.

Once the credits finish rolling on The Last Attack, fans are treated to an adaptation of the ‘School Castes’ manga, an alternate universe story that features Eren, Mikasa, and Armin in a more contemporary high school setting.

In particular, this scene is an animated version of ‘End Roll’, which sees the trio head to a cinema to watch the final movie of a long-running series. After, they each give their (meta) thoughts on how it all came to an end.

The cast for the Attack on Titan movie will almost certainly remain identical to the anime. As an English dub hasn’t yet been confirmed, we’re sticking to the Japanese cast for now:
