Attack on Titan Countdown Reaches Day 3 With New Illustration of Pieck, Isayama Thanks MAPPA

There are only three days left in the Attack on Titan countdown to the final episode and today’s illustration is once again Pieck, who already appeared twice in the illustrations. Studio MAPPA is animating the finale, which will air on November 4. Yesterday’s visual featured snuggly Mikasa with Eren, and Armin. Michel Sugimoto drew the new countdown visual:

The finale of the anime will air as an 85-minute special. Linked Horizon and Ai Higuchi will be performing the opening and ending theme songs, “The Last Titan” and “See You Later” respectively. Both songs will be released on November 5 and will be used for episode cuts for the special. Hajime Isayama, the mangaka, issued a statement thanking MAPPA for all their hard work and apologizing for the difficulties they face. He says that the final battle was hard to draw in the manga and he is sure it was difficult to transform that into anime. He got to draw some rough drafts at the end:

In addition to the event, the series is also getting its first-ever art book, slated for April 2024 release. The book will contain colored illustrations, but also a new 18-page story about Levi’s childhood, titled Bad Boy.

Crunchyroll will be streaming the Attack on Titan finale and describes the plot of the special episodes:
The fate of the world hangs in the balance as Eren unleashes the ultimate power of the Titans. With a burning determination to eliminate all who threaten Eldia, he leads an unstoppable army of Colossal Titans towards Marley. Now a motley crew of his former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission, the only question is, can they stop him?
