Attack on Titan is one of the best anime out there right now, and it's been very successful. Because of this, the makers are planning to create a new version for children called Attack on Titan: Junior High.
The story first began as a manga with the same name, but it seems the manga was successful, and as such, an anime is in the works and will be ready for its first episode in Japan by October.
Here is the returning cast, according to Anime News Network:
- Yuuki Kaji as Eren Jaeger
- Yui Ishikawa as Mikawa Ackerman
- Marina Inoue as Armin Artlelt
- Kishô Taniyama as Jean Kirschtein
- Yu Shimamura as Annie Leonhardt
- Yu Kobayashi as Sasha Browse
- Shiori Mikami as Christa Renz
- Hiro Shimono as Conny Springer
- Ryota Ohsaka as Marco Bodt
- Yoshimasa Hosoya as Reiner Braun
- Tomohisa Hashizume as Bertholt Hoover
- Saki Fujita as Ymir
- Hiroshi Kamiya as Levi
- Daisuke Ono as Erwin Smith
- Romi Park as Hanji Zoe
- Susumu Chiba as Eld Gin
- Shinji Kawada as Oruo Bozad
- Kouzou Mito as Gunther Schultz
- Natsuki Aikawa as Petra Ral
- Michiko Kaiden as Rico Brzenska
- Kenta Miyake as Mike Zacharias
We should point out that Saki Nakagawa is the man behind the manga, Attack on Titan: Junior High, and not the overall creator, Hajime Isayama.
We doubt many adults or teenagers would tune into this version of Attack on Titan directed at children, but that doesn't mean the show won't also turn out to be a success.
We'd love to see more of the show than what the reveal trailer shows off because it looks interesting. From what we have seen, the characters, the same from the original anime, are younger and are also in school. They don't seem to be fighting the Titans because not a single person was shown in a 3D Maneuver Gear kicking butt.
It seems everything will take place in the classroom, and a little bit on the outside where the characters do no fighting at all.
Hey, don't get upset. We've hadn't read the manga and might never.
