Finally! ATTACK ON TITAN SEASON 2 Will Premiere In April

The cover of the 21st volume of  Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga won't be released until Friday, but scans of the cover have leaked online, revealing that season 2 of the hit anime will be airing this April. This reaffirms a previous report back in July that season 2 was set to debut Spring 2017.  As we previously covered,  much of the key staff from WIT are returning from season 1.

Season one of Attack on Titan aired from April-September 2013 for a 25-episode run.  It adapted the first 8 volumes of Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga.  The first season was then truncated into two compilation films, which were released in 2014 and 2015.

A second season was confirmed back in November 2014 and given an initial premiere date of 2016, however, before long, it became obvious that WIT wasn't close to meeting that date. 

The question on the minds of most anime fans is how long will the new season be?  After waiting four years, and given the series' popularity and ample source material to adapt, surely the new season will run longer than 25 episodes?  Also, with the new partnership between Crunchyroll and Funimation, there's the strong possibility that a simuldub could also be released as the series airs in Japan.  

As the weeks march on towards April, be sure to to stay tuned to Anime Mojo as we continue our extensive coverage on AoT season 2. 

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.

After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Based on Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga, Shingeki no Kyojin follows Eren, along with his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and his childhood friend Armin Arlert, as they join the brutal war against the titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.
