‘Attack On Titan’ Is the Live-Action Anime We’ve Always Dreamed About! (Trailer)

Attack On Titan

Every since Akira, Fist of the North Star and Ninja Scroll, I’ve been dreaming of a live-action anime/manga adaptation on the scale of a Godzilla film.

With Japan’s Attack On Titans, in theaters internationally September 19th, it looks like I’m finally getting my wish.

The new Attack On Titan trailer has been released and it’s a Manga fan’s wet dream. In fact, it looks like the most realized adaptation ever, while also appearing to be about infinity times cooler than the latest Godzilla.

For those who haven’t yet seen the awesome anime, it’s now on Netflix.

Toho, who also makes the Godzilla films, is behind the two-part live-action adventure that features “Titans” that are actually larger than the biggest and baddest Godzilla (120m vs. 108m in Gareth Edwards’ remake). And unlike most movies these days, the Titans will be a mix of both CG and practical SFX – under the supervision of special effects director Onoue Katsuro – much like Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Take a look at the shot above and try not to orgasm. Oh, and if this isn’t cool enough, there’s also a tie-in series in the works.

In Shinji Higuchi’s Japanese Attack On Titan:

“The sudden arrival of the Titans–mysterious, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour human beings one after the other–brings mankind to the brink of extinction. Fast-forward more than 100 years later. What remains of the human population now live in relative peace behind massive walls that were erected to defend themselves against the Titans. Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Titan measuring over 50 meters tall smashes through the wall, allowing a horde of other Titans to enter. The protagonist, Eren, had been resigned to a life confined behind these walls. Nothing I do would make a difference, he thought. But when he joins the “Outer Wall Restoration Team” set up to fight against the Titans, he is reunited with Mikasa, a childhood friend and someone he had long rued not being able to save. The new recruits embark on a mission to obtain explosives, which had become rare and precious, before getting past the waves of Titans to plug the gaping hole in the wall, with humanity’s survival on the line. Will there be a future for Eren and Mikasa, and for mankind itself?”
