Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the highly acclaimed anime series in a theatrical experience delivering the epic finale in a colossal-sized omnibus film.

Humanity lived quietly behind massive walls built to protect themselves from the threat of monstrous creatures called Titans. Their century of peace was shattered by an attack on their city that left a young child, Eren Jaeger, motherless and vowing revenge on the titans.

Years after joining the Survey Corps, Eren finds himself facing a deadly foe, and ultimately gains a special ability that unveils a new truth about the world he knows…

After venturing beyond the walls and separated from his comrades, Eren finds himself inspired by this new truth and plots the “Rumbling,” a terrifying plan to eradicate every living thing in the world. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a motley crew of Eren’s former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission. The only question is, can they stop him?

Based on the manga by Fumiyo Kouno, this heartwarming, sweet and uplifting coming-of-age tale by Sunao Katabuchi (Mai Mai Miracle) took out the Animation of the Year award at this year’s Japan Academy Prize.

It’s 1944, and as the Second World War marches ponderously towards its inevitable end far overseas, 18-year-old Suzu moves to the port town of Kure, near the city of Hiroshima, to marry a man she has never met. Suzu is wed to a young clerk from the local naval base and moves in with his family – and while he’s at work, the talented budding artist pitches in with the household chores, toughing out the wartime rationing, preparing creative meals and keeping morale high with her cheery demeanour.

However, it’s not long until this routine is shattered by air raids and bombings by the United States military, wreaking devastation across the area and changing the townsfolk’s lives forever by unleashing the world’s first nuclear weapon. Suzu must reach deep down to find perseverance and courage to live on and rebuild her life.

Teams of researchers painstakingly worked to infuse the story with facts and true stories from the time, and recreate the pre-war look of Hiroshima by poring over photographs of the apocalyptic atomic bombing and interviewing surviving residents.
