Attack on Titan: End of the World will open in Japanese theaters on September 19. The first movie opened in Japan on August 1, and in Indonesia on August 26. The film debuted at #1 in the Japanese box-office and earned about 600 million yen (about US$4.8 million) in its first weekend in Japan.
Encore Films Indonesia also unveiled the film's Indonesian poster on Monday.
The films star:
Haruma Miura as Eren
Kiko Mizuhara as Mikasa
Kanata Hongō as Armin
Satomi Ishihara as Hans/Hanji
Nanami Sakuraba as Sasha
Takahiro Miura as Jean
Hiroki Hasegawa as Shikishima
Ayame Misaki as Hiana
Pierre Taki as Souda
Jun Kunimura as Kubal
Shu Watanabe as Fukushi
Satoru Matsuo as Sannagi
Rina Takeda as Lil
The cast includes seven characters that are new to the film versions of the story. Hasegawa's character Shikishima holds the key to the films' story as "humanity's strongest man."
Director Shinji Higuchi stated that, with the supervision of Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama, the story is based on the world and characters of the manga, while incorporating new characters and new formidable enemies. Yuusuke Watanabe (Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, live-action Gantz, Gantz II: Perfect Answer, 20th Century Boys, Gatchaman) wrote the scripts. Film critic Tomohiro Machiyama, who is also friends with Isayama, worked on the scripts together with Isayama and Watanabe.
The band SEKAI NO OWARI is contributing the first and second films' theme songs "Anti-Hero" and "SOS," respectively.
Hajime Isayama's original Attack on Titan manga depicts the battles between humans and the giants who now rule the world outside humans' walled enclaves.
Isayama's original Attack on Titan manga has inspired four spinoff manga, a 25-episode television anime version that aired in 2013, and two compilation films, the second of which will open in June. Additionally, a second season of the television anime series is slated to air in 2016. Isayama launched the series in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2009.
Elex Media Komputindo publishes Isayama's original Attack on Titan manga in Indonesia under its Level Comics imprint. Elex Media also published Ryo Suzukaze's Attack on Titan: Before the Fall light novel prequel series in Indonesia on June 24, also under its Level Comics imprint, and is also publishing Satoshi Shiki's Attack on Titan: Junior High comedy spinoff manga, and the Attack on Titan: Before the Fall manga, based on Suzukaze's light novel series.
