First of all, I want to thank all the individuals who put great effort into making today a reality. Thank you for everything you’ve done so far, and please continue to support us from now on,” Isayama told fans.

“I myself am quite proud of this rough-looking work that was created by an inexperienced novice — but now that it’ll pass through the creative minds of some of the most skilled people in the world, how will they craft it.” Isayama continued. “I’m overwhelmed with a sense of good fortune. If I had one final wish in this lifetime, I would hope that this film adaptation will bring happiness to the long-time fans who have enjoyed [Attack on Titan].”
