Attack on Titan Prepares for Goodbye With a New Key Visual

The long-awaited Attack on Titan Final Season finale revealed a key visual during the MAPPA Stage earlier today. Yuki Kaji, Yui Ishikawa, and Romi Park attended the event, alongside Yuichiro Hayashi, the director of the anime. The cast did a live reading of the most impactful scenes from the previous installment, which was titled Attack on Titan Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1. The big finale is slated for the fall of this year.

According to director Hayashi, this is the final key visual for the anime. He stated that they decided to take the simple route and that he hopes it invokes imagination because “there is nothing on it.” Hayashi also said that the work is steadily progressing but that he feels like it still isn’t done. The visual has “I’ll see you later, Eren” written on it and it is the first one in AoT history without any characters or titans.
