Check it out below.

Attack on Titan Day Confirmed for September 9th

Attack on Titan Day has been announced for September 9th in Japan, and the franchise has announced some big events for the day of to help celebrate the new holiday. It’s not only going to launch special exclusive merchandise in the region and offer some of its manga chapters for free with an app in Japan, but there’s something that will hopefully make a bigger impact as a special livestream event has been confirmed for the holiday too with news about the franchise’s future and to help just honor the new holiday in general.

A special Attack on Titan Day livestream will be taking place with Eren Yeager voice actor Yuki Kaji, Mikasa Ackerman voice actor Yui Ishikawa, and Connie Springer voice actor Hiro Shimono in attendance. It’s not quite clear what kind of announcements could be expected for the livestream, it’s been teased to be “delivering lots of information about ‘Attack on Titan’ on that day!” Which could be big if there are new anime projects for the franchise in the works.

Is Attack on Titan’s Anime Coming Back?

Attack on Titan‘s anime franchise came to an end with its final feature film release in 2024, and that seemed to be the true finale for the story overall. But despite the fact it’s ended sometime ago, studios involved with the franchise have been jumping at the chance to work with the series and its characters wherever possible. It seems like while an Attack on Titan anime return might not be the most possible considering that its story ended, it’s not entirely improbable given just how much interest there still is for it all.

Both WIT Studio and Studio MAPPA have shown interest in returning to the franchise with new visuals or projects for Attack on Titan, so it’s not totally outside of the realm of possibility that a remake or something along those likes could exist either. It’s certainly something to keep an eye out for when this holiday hits next week, so Attack on Titan fans should catch up with it all now streaming with platforms like Crunchyroll in the meantime.
