Recently, Tetsuro Araki sat down to thank fans for their support of Attack on Titan‘s second season. It was during his interview that Araki talked a bit about season three, and the series director teased fans about the upcoming season.
“We really enjoyed making the anime and felt it turned out well in the end. Although the anime takes a break here, we’re still working on it. We will put our best efforts into making season 3,” Araki started.
“Will the person wearing glasses at the end of season 2 play a part in season 3? Will everyone be able to survive? Will somebody die? It’s hard to know. Look forward to the next season. We’re still having fun making Attack on Titan.”
For fans familiar with Attack on Titan’s manga, the question about the “person wearing glasses” in a very important one. Fans learned a bit more about the man during the anime’s recent finale; The mysterious character was seen coming out of the Beast Titan as he looked over one of Paradis’ walls. The confirmed Titan Shifter seemed none too pleased by the Survey Corps recent victory against Reiner and Bertolt. And, within the manga, the character becomes one of the series’ most important villains.
