Attack on Titan is undoubtedly one of the best series of all time. Intended for an informed audience, this acclaimed Japanese anime, highly complex and ingenious, surprised by being both beautiful and violent and above all surprising.
With its engaging characters and stunning visuals, the series is a dark, epic, barbaric, inventive and dangerous gem… and it’s also a musical! Yes, the anime phenomenon also had its own theatrical version – complete with bonus tracks – that debuted in Osaka, Japan at the Orix Theater on January 7, 2023, before moving to Tokyo. Internationally, the musical will be available from October 11 to 13, 2024 in New York.
The script for this live and musical version is written by Masafumi Hata with music by KEN the 390. Gō Ueki is the production director. And above all, Hajime Isayama, author and artist of the original manga, claims: “I felt that a musical was the perfect way to tell the story of Attack on Titan“, we can read in the trailer, which you can see below.
Recall that in the series (as well as in the musical), giant human beings called Titans, who appeared more than 100 years ago, destroyed most of humanity. Then the survivors were forced to remove the barricades in the fortress-city. After witnessing the murder of his mother, who was swallowed by one of these creatures, young Eren now has only one goal: to join the army and get rid of these titans once and for all.
While you wait to watch the musical close to home – unless you’re headed to New York for the occasion – Attack on Titan can be found on Crunchyroll, Netflix, ADN or even Prime Video with Warner Pass.
