Here’s how to watch Attack on Titan Season 2 this weekend

Fans of popular anime Attack on Titan will be excited to find out that Season 2 is premiering this weekend.

Those wanting to watch the next chapter in Eren Yeager’s story can tune in to the broadcasts online without the usual delays – and get up to speed at the same time as those watching in Japan.

The second season will be live today at 3.30pm UK time, and will be available on Crunchyroll and Funimation.

They will need to sign up for an account, or watch the episode with adverts – but the episode will be available to stream for free on Crunchyroll for non-subscribers next week.

For those who haven’t seen Attack on Titan, check out our guide to the first season – or watch the trailer for Season 2 below.

Season 2 had originally been planned for release last year, but was later delayed to 2017.

It will span a total of 12 episodes, which makes it half the length of Season 1.

Animation creator Thomas Romain explained in a tweet that the reason for this was a shortage of staff due to anime overproduction.

However, after a victory against the Female Titan, he discovers that a new horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose – and the battle for humanity continues.

Attack on Titan Season 2: Release Date, Trailers, News, and More

Editor's note: This article is our news hub for Attack on Titan season 2 and will be updated to reflect new information.

Attack on Titan season 1 took the Internet by storm in late-2013 with its high concept apocalyptic premise, drool-worthy animation, and sick metal opening theme song. Since then, it's spawned a number of video games, several attempts at live-action adaptions, a crossover with Marvel Comics, and a fanbase so undying that at one point we could actually amass ourselves into one titanic super being and eat our ways through the squads of haters (metaphorically). Good times.

Now after an unusually long four year hiatus (four whole years, four), our favorite anime about man-eating titans versus parkour-inclined soldiers is finally coming back...

Attack on Titan Season 2 Episode Count

In a somewhat disappointing turn of events, there will only be 12 episodes of the second season of Attack on Titan, according to the studio, which confirmed the episode count in this tweet. Animation creator Thomas Romain (Oban Star Racers) further explained in this Tweet that this reduction in episode count is due to budgetary reasons.

With his new powers, he fights for humanity's freedom facing the monsters that threaten his home.
