Final 'Shingeki no Kyojin' Anime Season Announced for Fall 2020

The 10th and final episode of the third Shingeki no Kyojin anime season's second cours ended with an announcement on Monday that the final season will air in Fall 2020 on NHK General.

Shingeki no Kyojin adapts Hajime Isayama's fantasy post-apocalyptic manga of the same title, which began its serialization in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine in September 2009. Kodansha published the 28th volume on April 9, with the 29th volume planned for an August 9 release. The manga has a cumulative 90 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation worldwide.

Produced by Wit Studio, the first anime season premiered in Spring 2013. Pre-production of the second season began as early as 2014, which aired in Spring 2017. The third season debuted in Summer 2018, with its second half premiering on April 29.

Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English in October 2011 and published the 27th volume on April 9. The 28th volume will go on sale on August 6. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Chinese.

Funimation licensed the anime series in North America and shipped the first season in two Blu-ray and DVD volumes in June and September 2014. The second season was released on a single volume in February 2018.

Shingeki no Kyojin won the 35th Kodansha Manga Awards in the Shounen category and was nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho awards in 2011, as well as the 16th and 18th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The manga also placed sixth in the male readers' division in the 2014 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings.

Shingeki no Kyojin The Final Season on MAL

Nice that we will already get to it next fall, provided there won't be a delay or split cour again.

Crazy hype! It’s just .. insane!

Shingeki no Kyojin, you beauty! Surely, 2 cours at the very least like Seasons 1 and 3! Fall 2020 is going to freakin’ lit!

Please let it be animated by Wit Studio! Please!

A lot sooner than most of us expected , I CAN'T WAIT .

"final season" T_T
i will miss this serie so much

i have a reason to live until fall 2020

Is Wit Studio still going to animate it?

Super hyped! but also not ready to say goodbye to one of my favorite anime series :(

I look forward to seeing the series end. I see a lot of fake rumors with no sources regarding who will be making the final season. Wait for a confirmation and don't eat up whatever random people say.

This new is very welcomed, though I'm curious about something. If the manga is still not finished, do they mean with "Final Season" that they are going to adapt the manga fully? Are they going with an anime original ending? Will be split cours like season 3? Or are they going to end the anime with a cliffhanger?

Anyway, more Attack on Titan is always good.

I'm soooo happy there would be a comming season, so all that old rumors were fake

i hope we all live until that and more :))))))))

After aot is over, we will have to wait centuries to get something on the same level.

Feelsbadman.

Fall 2020, just as I thought. Can't wait to see the best part of Attack on Titan animated! Hopefully it remains in the good hands.

I expected the next cour in another thread to be at Winter 2020/Spring 2021. That it comes out way sooner plus being the last season is a double surprise on their end. Cool nonetheless.

The manga is ending soon, the staff at wit has always been in dialogue with Isayama, so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't say final season if Isayama didn't tell them that the manga is ending.

Damn, still remember when I was in high school eagerly waiting for the first episode when season 1 aired.. Can't believe how time flies.

Does this announcement mean that there won't be any main story of shingeki after this? Haven't seen an announcement that the manga will be ending

That isn't Eren in the announcement, is he now?

Yep, the manga has been announced that it is in its final arc since Nov 2018.

The one behind bars?

Please be animated by Wit Studio.

Glad to see that it's finally going to end, nothing of value will be lost. Good day and good riddance.

I've been so amazed by this season that I doubt it'll ever drop even one spot on my favourites. Easily the best anime ever made, nothing can even compare. Season 4 will be great.

Definitely a 2-cour season, or more specifically, split-cour. I don't care how long it takes or if there's a lengthy break in between the season... just please be Wit Studio or Production I.G.

It's more than a 12 month break but to me, it's a sign of good news honestly. They're probably going to put a lot of budget and effort into making the final season.

I hope it will be Wit Studio again.

Obvious bait with a guy who has SAO Season 1 as a 10 out of 10, not trying to be that guy, but if you hated season one that much you shouldnt be here.

As expected, we're getting another (and this time, only one more) season. It's been quite the ride.

The manga is on its final arc. It will be ending anytime soon. So the anime is not going to have an original ending, it will follow the manga.

This is great and bittersweet news. Legit, after AOT ends I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself

Wasn't expecting an announcement so soon but that's certainly good to know,

Goodbye and good ridance.

Yep, you can finally rest in peace, after all the harm this series has done to you.

I was wondering if this would get a full adaptation but now that it has been confirmed, I will probably bring it back from my dropped list.

Anybody know if it will be done by Studio Wit?

With the manga close to an end,it was inevitable that the upcoming season would be the final one.

It will either be a one single core of 24-26 episodes or could be divided into two, 12-13 episodes split cores

Pretty weak bait.

Was never meant to be one to begin with. Just wanted to try saying that at least once in my life.

Very nice

Lets get it Rainer and Eren the finale

"Eren... please... come home.."

I CANT WAIT GODDAMIT!!!

I'm honestly very pleased to learn that a new season will come in a bit more than a year (that's pretty much nothing compared to the delay separating S1 & S2) but also quite sad to learn it will be the last season.

However I do not despair, I rely & count on 'em to make a last final blast.

Nice to learn that the manga will be really closed in a year.


PS: " post-apocalyptic manga " really?

baby’s first anime

Ignore him, he salty cuz aot is ranked above his favorites, shit is funny to me

it's a sad and good news for me, at least the Final Season is closer than i thought but... it's the last :(

Can't wait! It's wonderful that they announced the air date straight after episode 10.

After the long break of season 1 we are being blessed with seasons coming out every year.

fall starts october so the manga might end in parallel with the last episode of that final season just like how i remember FMAB ended

Weak bait. Attack on titan will go down as a modern classic. While haters like you can't do anything except blabbering and making such poor comments.

Hating on popular things does not make you an interesting person.

Oh well, it shall be missed. Good thing that they announced its release date so early though.

Then manga will end soon? Or the final of anime will be different?
