Alright, fellow Attack on Titan fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say, the colossal titan stomping its way towards us: When. Does. Part. 3. Actually. Air?
It feels like we've been waiting longer than it took Eren to grow his hair out. Remember when we thought the story was ending? Good times, simpler times. Now we're all detective-level analysts trying to decode cryptic trailers and release schedules.
So, What's the Deal with Part 3?
Basically, AOT's final season became a marathon. It was so epic, it needed multiple pit stops. Think of it like a delicious cake that kept needing extra layers of frosting.
Originally, it was supposed to be one big finale, but then someone (probably a titan shifter in disguise) decided to split it. Now we have the grand finale, split into two parts!
The Great Split: Part 3A and Part 3B
Part 3A? Check. That was released in March 2023. But the real head-scratcher is when we get the *actual* final, final, FINAL chapter, Part 3B. And trust me, this isn't just any old anime finale. We're talking about the end of a decade-long journey with Eren, Mikasa, and Armin.
It's like waiting for the final rose on *The Bachelor,* except instead of romantic drama, we get world-ending conflict and existential dread. Much more entertaining, obviously.
Release Date Rumors and Realities
The internet's been buzzing with whispers and theories faster than a scout regiment on ODM gear. We've heard everything from "summer" to "fall," with various hints and leaks scattered across social media. Imagine all the speculation!.
Officially, what we *do* know is that it's expected to air in Fall 2023. Think pumpkin spice lattes, cozy sweaters, and the end of the world as we know it. Fun times!
Why the Hold Up?
Animating titans is no walk in the park. It's not like drawing cute kittens. It's complex, time-consuming, and requires a dedicated team of artists who probably subsist solely on caffeine and the tears of emotional fans.
Plus, MAPPA, the studio behind the animation, has been incredibly dedicated to getting the ending just right. They want to do justice to Hajime Isayama's masterpiece.
How to Survive the Wait
Easy! Binge-watch the entire series again. Develop elaborate theories with your friends. Write fan fiction where everyone gets a happy ending (because, let's face it, they deserve it).
"Dedicate your heart!" to other anime. You might discover a new obsession to fill the void. Maybe try *Vinland Saga* if you are in a Viking mood.
And most importantly, stay away from spoilers! Trust me; you want to experience the ending firsthand, without having it ruined by some random online comment. Think of it as dodging titan bites; you gotta be quick!
Final Thoughts (and a Tiny Bit of Hope)
The wait for Attack on Titan's final installment has been agonizing, but it's also built up incredible anticipation. This is it; the culmination of years of storytelling, character development, and shocking plot twists. So even though it might be a rollercoaster of emotions, prepare to say goodbye to the world within the walls.
And who knows, maybe there will be some heartwarming moments amidst the chaos. Maybe Levi will finally smile. (Okay, probably not, but a fan can dream!)
So, stay tuned, keep your eyes peeled, and get ready to witness the end. Because when Part 3B finally arrives, it's going to be epic!
