For those eagerly awaiting the return of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) in 2016, the news came as a shock. Spanish distributor SelectaVisión, known for revealing information early, announced that the highly anticipated second season will only arrive in January 2017.

This revelation was released by the portal OtakuPT, which recalled that the same distributor had previously agreed to bring forward the premiere of the first season, back in 2012. This time, SelectaVisión stated that the information came directly from Kodansha , the publisher responsible for the original work.

Delay surprises series fans

Despite the anticipation for new episodes, the studio behind the animation hasn't officially confirmed a new premiere date. However, SelectaVisión's track record and Kodansha's involvement reinforce the credibility of the information. Still, fans should wait for an official statement for added security.

Meanwhile, anticipation only grows. The first season raised the bar for anime productions, delivering impactful scenes, a striking soundtrack, and intense characters. Naturally, the pressure to maintain this quality may have contributed to the postponement.

Furthermore, internal changes within the production team and the adaptation of the manga's plot may have influenced the schedule. Therefore, it's best to wait for a season that's up to par, even if it takes a little longer.
