Do you wonder if we’ll get an Attack on Titan season 5 after the fourth season is wrapped up? Is there enough source material available to warrant another season of this hit anime series? This article will answer all your queries about the series’ renewal!
Despite the crazy controversy surrounding Attack on Titan’s fourth season, fans around the world loved how thrilling, entertaining, and unpredictable it all was!
Because of the drama surrounding the series and its production, though, fans are now wondering if another season is going to be released or if another medium will be used to finish off one of the best anime series and one of the top-rated manga series of all time.
Season 4 isn’t even over yet, as fans are still eagerly awaiting the release of the second half promised by Studio MAPPA, who animates the series. Originally, the story’s final arc was meant to be one long season but was split into multiple “Final Chapters” for the animation quality to stay as high as possible.
This is why fans are waiting for the next part of Season 4, as MAPPA is working tirelessly on the project alongside many others in their catalog.
Part 3 of Attack on Titan’s final season was one extended episode, which aired in early March of 2023, but the next extended-length episode, which will be titled Part 4, isn’t due until later this year.
However, with the end finally in sight for all Attack on Titan fans, the fan base is looking towards the future for how this fantastic series will see its end. Is another anime season coming to wrap up Eren, Armin, and Mikasa’s story? Or will something else entirely happen to wrap up this series?
Will There Be an Attack on Titan Season 5?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like MAPPA or any other studio will be creating a fifth season for Attack on Titan anime! There are multiple reasons for this, so let’s get into them.
Season 4 was titled “The Final Season,” and the manga by Hajime Isayama ended in June of 2021. Because of this, it should have already dispelled rumors of another season wrapping up the series.
Though there is still a good amount of content to cover before the show can close its curtains for good, one final extended-length episode will be enough to cover the controversial ending and its aftermath.
Fans were originally skeptical of how MAPPA was releasing Attack on Titan’s so-called final season, but it looks like the upcoming episode will finally be the FINALE, and not another part added onto the ending.
Since the original “Final Season” aired, fans wondered how long MAPPA would draw out the series. Some assumed that the ending would be turning into one massive feature-length movie to give Attack on Titan an even larger send-off with some changes from the manga, and others assumed MAPPA would delay Attack on Titan anime for years to come.
However, it does look like we are about to end the series with this final episode, not a movie or another season!
This final episode should cover the last few chapters of Attack on Titan manga and the extended ending that Isayama released shortly after the main manga finished. Whether the ending will be changed or not is a different story, but at least this show will finally end.
The fourth season’s first episode was fantastic, and fans were left wanting more. But we can’t rush these animators, as MAPPA is trying to create one of the best anime of all time with the monumental and controversial ending of Attack on Titan.
So, it looks like the series will conclude with another extended-length episode, not another season or a movie created by MAPPA. This also means there won’t be an Attack on Titan season 5 after this!
What is Attack on Titan Anime About?
Attack on Titan is a manga series created by Hajime Isayama that began in 2010 and ended in 2021, and its anime adaptation began airing in 2013. This decade-long series is set in a world where humanity resides in enclosed walls to protect themselves from massive creatures with humanoid features known as Titans.
These Titans are known for devouring humans who get in their way for no reason, which has led humanity to the brink of extinction. The remaining humans live inside these walls, where they live normal lives and train soldiers to defend humankind from these creatures.
Attack on Titan follows Eren Yeager, his best friend, Armin Arlert, and Eren’s adoptive sister, Mikasa Akerman. At the story’s beginning, they are normal kids, but their lives change forever when the Colossal Titan breaches the city walls.
Eren and his friends join the military to fight against the looming Titan threat and uncover their world’s secrets. The trio becomes soldiers in the Survey Corps, where they slowly uncover the secrets of the Titans, the walls they live behind, and their history.
Because of Eren’s transformation, they learn that certain humans have the power to turn into Titans and have complete control over their new form. This leads to various internal conflicts, but this revelation makes Eren one of the most powerful weapons the Survey Corps have against the other Titans.
Across the entire series, the narrative deals with moral dilemmas, political espionage, and various complex character relationships. From the political side of the walls to the tender relationship between Eren and his friends. Throughout the story, our characters deal with personal growth, loss, and various battles against increasingly powerful Titans.
But it’s not just Titans they fight because as the secrets of Titans and the world are revealed, we learn that humanity is not on the verge of extinction. In fact, Eren and all the other characters living inside the walls are basically living in a prison of sorts and are being punished for being ‘Subjects of Ymir.’
When Eren discovers the world’s truth, his goals take a dramatic turn. We see his transformation from a good-natured guy who wants to eradicate Titans to the ruthless individual we see in the final season who’ll go to any lengths to ensure the survival of his people who live on the island and within the walls!
When Does Attack on Titan Final Season Part 4 Come Out?
Part 3 of Attack on Titan’s Final Season was released in March of 2023 and was an extended-length episode covering a few chapters of the manga. There is still a good amount of story details left to cover within Attack on Titan, so a few more episodes, or another extended-length episode, are needed to end the story.
Because of this, MAPPA announced that another episode would be released sometime in the Fall of 2023, so by the end of this year. Hopefully, if this episode gets delayed, it won’t be for long, so Attack on Titan can end in early 2024 at the latest.
Conclusion
Attack on Titan is a phenomenal show that has been running for almost a decade at this point. The story is coming to a close, though, as the anime only has a few chapters left to cover. However, these chapters are some of the longest, most in-depth, and thought-provoking in the entire series, so MAPPA has its hands full.
In MAPPA we trust, but will fans love this ending? We already know the manga community is torn over the series ending, even years after the manga concluded, but what will the anime space think?
That’s the main question fans have been asking for a while now. The main thing we do know is that another season isn’t around the corner, as this part is the ending of the series, no matter how long it takes to release.
The ending of Attack on Titan will be controversial, but it will be more than worth the wait at the end of the day. And make sure you watch it as soon as it’s released because there won’t be an Attack on Titan season 5 after this! This is really the finale we have all been waiting for!
