Airdate: Attack on Titan

Next week SBS VICELAND will premiere 2015 film Attack on Titan which is based on the Japanese manga series of the same name.

This was split into two halves (98 mins / 87 mins) with Part I airing next week. Part II screens a week later.

Attack on Titan: Part 1 is the first instalment of a two-part live-action adaptation based on the wildly popular dark fantasy sci-fi manga and anime series. This film is an all-new story, written by the manga creator Hajime Isayama.

In present-day Japan, 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 100 years, what remains of the human population now survives in relative peace behind massive walls erected in defence against the Titans.

Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Colossal Titan, measuring over 50 metres tall, smashes through the wall and allows a horde of other Titans to enter. Eren Yeager had resigned himself to a life confined behind these walls. But when he joins the ‘Outer Wall Restoration Team’ set up to fight against the Titans, he is reunited with Mikasa, a childhood friend.

The new recruits embark on a mission to plug the gaping hole in the wall and stop the waves of titans once and for all. If this mission fails, it will spell the end of humanity. The last counter-attack to save human civilisation is about to begin.
