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.

What a disappointment.

"It's the final season, but it's coming out in parts"

How is that not just completely different seasons? I get that they panicked a bit after the dumpster fire of an ending in the manga. Just seems like AoT is becoming the M. Night of anime.

Series starting to drag on? Put in a time skip. Series getting too formulaic? Kill of a character everyone loves but isn't necessary to the story.

I'm going to watch the end of the show because I already sank so much time in to it but I don't understand why it's in the top 10 of all time

I’m shocked it’s going to be the final season, I didn’t know the manga was ending so soon. I stopped reading the manga shortly after where the anime is now a long time ago so I figured there was at least more than a season of content now but I guess not. Anyway, super excited :)

its going to be a 24~+ episodes season

Pretty bad show overall. Generally hovered between awful and mediocre. Glad it’s going to end, though unfortunately the damage it did will remain for quite some time.

Makes sense since your demographic is hentai.

I don't think you know what a demographic is.

Ur criticism is as bad as ur taste of good anime kid. it's probably best if you go back to playing fortnite

Birthday: Jul 15, 2002

That'll be a yikes from me captain.

And that would be an even bigger yikes for a person that doesnt understand or even have a good taste of what good anime is, boss.

Edit: i never thought a person would look at my profile. Interesting. But if this is your only statement or comeback, all i can say is ur comeback worst than ur taste. (Yes i said that twice) other than that, dont even watch aot if ur gonna complain like a baby. That’s all i got 2 say. Good day boss and remember, if u hate the series, dont even watch it (yes i fucking know, i said it twice). Simple as that and ez 2 fix. That’s it.

Wait, last season? How long will this season be?

Jul 5, 2019 12:35 PM by malvarez1

Since I don't think they'll end the manga before the last season starts, I suppose the manga will have its last chapter released in the beginning of 2021 or something, assuming the season will be a 2 cours.

I'm quite curious about their commercial strategy in this regard.

We'll see.

Jul 5, 2019 1:41 AM by Ysad_Ziwezhan

I'm excited! Can't wait to see how it all ends
