petrea_mitchellFans of the Attack on Titan anime are used to waiting.
The first season ran in 2013. After that, we waited four whole years for another installment, and it ran only 11 episodes (the usual would be 12-13 if running 3 months, 24-26 if running for 6).
Season 3 started in 2017, and was announced ahead of time as a split cour (3 months, then a 3-month hiatus, then 3 more months). The break in the middle wound up being 6 months instead, and led to permanent differences in how the second half was labeled. Some people call it season 3 part 2, some call it season 4.
To dodge the numerical arguments, the next season was branded Attack on Titan the Final Season (yes, no colon) and pitched as the conclusion to the story. Except it became clear these last few weeks that there was going to be a bunch more manga left to adapt at the end of March.
So the last episode came with an announcement that there will, in fact, be some more episodes.
In January 2022.
Aaaaaaaaaargh.
