Attack on Titan Climbs the Streams Years After Its Series Finale

The anime series Attack on Titan is back in the top ten most popular shows on Crunchyroll, per data cited by MovieWeb. This resurgence comes despite the show concluding its 89-episode run in late 2023.

The anime's renewed popularity coincides with a wave of franchise activity. The series' anniversary in September was officially recognized in Japan, leading to new announcements and commemorative art from creator Hajime Isayama. Compilation films also returned to theaters this year in special formats.

Meanwhile, new franchise projects are fueling interest. A video game sequel is set for a December release, and a stage musical is planning a world tour for next year.

MovieWeb's analysis notes the show's divisive but now widely accepted ending may be key to its lasting appeal. The report suggests the finale's uncompromising nature gives the entire series a sharper focus on a rewatch, helping it maintain a strong fanbase long after the credits rolled.
