The conclusion of Attack on Titan marked the end of an era for the Scout Regiment, but its reverberations within the anime community will endure. Hajime Isayama’s narrative sent shockwaves through fans, and Studio MAPPA continues to make waves.
The release of the Attack on Titan Blu-ray for the final episodes in Japan has drawn attention to significant animation enhancements in portraying the Survey Corps and Eren Jaeger’s climactic showdown.
MAPPA’s animation challenges have been well-documented, particularly highlighted by recent events such as Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season. Reports surfaced regarding the demanding work conditions and tight production schedules faced by the studio’s animators.

With the Jujutsu Kaisen Blu-ray release, fans witnessed substantial improvements as animators had more time to refine the depiction of Yuji Itadori’s battles in Shibuya. Similarly, it seems that the final episodes of Attack on Titan received a similar treatment, with animators adding extra detail to the pivotal battle scenes.
The enhanced Blu-ray release of Attack on Titan has reached Japan, although a confirmed release date for North America is still pending. Given the global popularity of Attack on Titan, it’s expected that these final episodes will eventually find their way to Western audiences.
Attack on Titan’s Blu-Ray Improvements
This year, Attack on Titan surprises fans once again with the upcoming art book, “Attack on Titan: Fly.” While Hajime Isayama isn’t penning a new sequel or spin-off, he’s crafting a new narrative for the publication set to arrive next month.

Details about the new story remain shrouded in mystery, but Isayama has hinted at exploring a tale from Captain Levi’s past. Like the Blu-ray set, there’s no indication yet of when or if the art book will be available in North America.
