“Yea that’s definitely a movie announcement for Attack on Titan cuz I don’t think that’s enough to finish the manga,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another user tweeted, it could be “potentially announcing a movie for the ending or/and an anime original ending maybe, that’s my naive hope.”
The fans are disappointed as well as excited with this delay. Whatever happens, we are definitely in for an epic conclusion to Eren’s tale that started way back in 2013.
