Kodansha is giving Attack on Titan fans in the United States another chance to check out its massive gallery of art from the series.
Anime Frontier, a convention based in Fort Worth, Texas has announced that it will host the titan-sized exhibition of Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama's art. The gallery was previously featured as part of this year's Anime NYC convention. The exhibit explores Attack on Titan's entire 11 year history and shows how Isayama's art style has evolved over the last decade. The exhibit will also showcase messages from fans who previously shared their thoughts on the series' finale with the hashtag #ThankYouAttackOnTitan.
Kodansha put together the gallery to celebrate the series' history and hype fans up for the anime's impending finale, which will be broadcast in Japan on Jan. 9. Crunchyroll will simulcast the series as it airs in Japanwith subtitles in eight languages to over 200 countries globally. Funimation will also simulcast the series in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Australia and New Zealand. As with the first half of the final season, which aired last winter, the series' final run of episodes will be produced by animation studio MAPPA, who took over production of the popular shonen anime after Wit Studio produced the show's first three seasons.
Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2 will begin where the first part left off, with Reiner preparing to fight the series' main protagonist, Eren Jaeger. The last batch of episodes will adapt the remaining chapters of Isayama's manga, which published its last chapter in Japan earlier this year. Kodansha published the final collected volume of the manga in October.
In addition to the gallery, Anime Frontier will also feature a Q&A session with Eren Jaeger's English voice actor, Bryce Papenbrook. In addition to portraying Jaeger, Papenbrook is also known for filling the role of the boar-headed swordsman Inosuke in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba and for portraying Kirito in Sword Art Online. Other voice actors making appearances at the con include Aleks Le (Demon Slayer), Christopher Sabat (Dragon Ball Z), Amanda Lee (Zombie Land Saga), among others. The convention will also host a panel from Crunchyroll, who is cosponsoring the event, a virtual concert by Jpop band IRIS and screenings of anime such as studio Trigger's Promare and the sleeper hit Odd Taxi. Anime Frontier will be held in Fort Worth Convention Center from Dec. 3 - 5.
