The Attack on Titan movie is heading to Japanese cinemas imminently. A feature-length presentation of both of the anime's Final Chapters, the 145-minute film (titled The Last Attack) is coming with handful of subtle changes, including a new post-credits scene.

While we eagerly anticipate a western 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 expected 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 will be released in Japanese cinemas on November 8.

A release date in regions such as the US and UK hasn't yet been announced, though we'd be very surprised if it doesn't eventually come to the West – especially when you consider how well other anime releases, such as Demon Slayer and Haikyu, have performed at the box office in recent years.

With that in mind, we'd cautiously circle 2025 as a possible release window for Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack in the west. Watch this space.

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.

Essentially a cataclysmic event that will wipe out the whole world, Eren commandeers an army of Colossal Titans and outlines his intention to put an end to the cycle of violence by destroying everything in Marley and beyond to protect the Island of Paradis. From there? Well, that would be telling – but it brings a definitive end to the Attack on Titan saga.

The new Attack on Titan The Movie: The Last Attack trailer is here. Unlike the previous 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 movie changes: differences between the TV anime and Final Chapters

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/T Crunchyroll), "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, but its contents remain unknown for the time being.

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:

  • Eren Yeager – Yuki Kaji
  • Mikasa Ackermann – Yui Ishikawa
  • Armin Arlert – Marine Inoue
  • Levi – Hiroshi Kamiya
  • Zeke – Takehito Koyasu
  • Annie Leonhart – Yu Shimamura
  • Connie Springer – Hiro Shimono
  • Reiner Braun – Yoshiamasa Hosoya
  • Gabi Braun – Ayane Sakura
  • Zoe Hange – Romi Park

As of writing, the Attack on Titan movie can only be watched in Japanese cinemas from November. At the very least, we expect it to come to Crunchyroll in future and, hopefully, western cinemas. If that happens, it won't be until 2025 at the earliest.
