We don’t suppose there was any doubt that the Jujutsu Kaisen anime would be continuing, but it was confirmed by studio MAPPA almost immediately after the last episode of Season 2 was released in Japan. No specific release date was announced for it, but….Season 2 just ended, so it won’t be tomorrow. The series is about Yuji Itadori, a high school student who excels in athletic activities and is otherwise normal….at first. But one day he finds himself catapulted into the world of the supernatural when he has to save his friend from a deadly curse. The only way to cure the boy is to eat a cursed object called “Sukuna’s Finger,” which just means that HE gets a curse instead. He’s now got a powerful spirit sharing his body, and though that means he gets to access the spirit’s powers, it also means he’s going to have to leave his place of education and instead hit the books at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, which specializes in training folks

Attack On Titan Final Season Part 3 Finally Launches

There’s drawn-out goodbyes, and then there’s Attack On Titan. What was billed as the “final season” by Studio MAPPA has ballooned into three now, with the third being the most unusual. Instead of a traditional batch of 24-minute episodes, AOT The Final Season Part Three will be released as two one-hour specials. The first of these premieres today. It’s the final (?) confrontation between the crew and their former friend Eren, who has now joined the Titans and plans to destroy everything. He’s marching toward Marley with an army of muscular, gigantic humanoids, and it will take all the citizens to save the world now. After these specials air, MAPPA swears this will really, truly be the end of Attack On Titan. Forgive us for being skeptical; we think they’ll find a way…maybe not a Final Season Part 4 but something else; a spinoff or a “next generation” series. Just watch. And no, you weren’t just having Internet problems….the episode is late. Crunchyroll promised this special would be viewable on

Attack On Titan Final Season Goes Into Overtime

Looks like we called that one. When Crunchyroll released a trailer for the “finale episode” of Attack On Titan last week, we wondered why they weren’t making a bigger deal out of it, or avoiding the words “series finale.” We suspected an announcement was coming at the end of that episode, and we were correct. There will be an Attack On Titan: Final Season Part 3. Studio MAPPA may have moved too early in applying the “Final Season” label when they started animating this arc back in 2020. Given the timeskip and the radical situation shift that occurs in the story, it’s definitely the final storyline, but you can’t make three seasons and refer to each one as the “final” one. The Attack On Titan manga is 139 chapters long. As it stands, only nine chapters have yet to be adapted, and those chapters include an ending that was not popular with Titan fans. Rumor has it MAPPA is planning on going in a different direction, which would help them
