The ending of Attack on Titan marks the end of an era for the Scout Regiment, but its resonance in the anime community will live on. Hajime Isayama's story has shocked fans and Studio MAPPA continues to make waves.
The release of the Attack on Titan Blu-ray disc of the final episodes in Japan has drawn attention to the significant animation improvements in the depiction of the Survey Corps and Eren Jaeger's climactic showdown.
MAPPA's animation challenges have been well documented, especially highlighted by recent events like the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Reports surfaced regarding the demanding working conditions and tight production schedules faced by the studio's animators.
The Attack on Titan Final Season Final Chapter Blu-ray/DVD sold 2,136 copies in its first week of release.

With the Blu-ray release of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans witnessed significant improvements as animators had more time to refine the depiction of Yuji Itadori's battles in Shibuya. Likewise, it appears that the final episodes of Attack on Titan received the same treatment, as the animators added additional details to key battle scenes.
The enhanced Blu-ray release of Attack on Titan has arrived in Japan, although a confirmed North American release date is still pending. Given Attack on Titan's global popularity, it's expected that these final episodes will eventually reach Western audiences.
Titan's Blu-Ray Enhanced Attack
This year, Attack on Titan once again surprised fans with its upcoming art book, “Attack on Titan: Fly.” While Hajime Isayama is not writing a new sequel or spin-off, he is creating a new story for the publication that will launch next month.

Details about the new story are still a mystery, but Isayama has hinted at exploring the story of Captain Levi's past. Like the Blu-ray set, there's no indication yet when or if the artbook will be available in North America.
