Attack on Titan is a highly acclaimed and obviously very popular television series that returns in 2020 for its fourth season after years of waiting. If you haven’t already seen the trailer for the final season of the series, prepare to have your mind blown. (Unofficial English subtitles are provided.)
After so many revelations at the end of the third season, who knows what kind of world we’ll find Eren, Mikasa, and Armin in. Time has passed in the story since we last saw them, and it feels like forever until we finally find out how the earth-shattering war between Titans and humans will end.
