Attack on Titan the Movie: Part 1 - Crimson Bow and Arrow is a re-edited version of the popular anime Attack on Titan that began broadcasting in April 2013. Part 1 - Crimson Bow and Arrow will release countrywide in Japan on Nov. 22, and Part 2 - Wings of Freedom will release sometime in 2015. In addition to the sound getting a 5.1-channel remastering, the movie will use a re-edited version of the fully mastered visuals from the series’ Blu-ray releases. An unaired episode of the TV anime will also be included in the movie, so there will be plenty of must-see content for fans.
The movie will premiere at the 27th Tokyo International Film Festival, one of the world’s 12 international film festivals and Japan’s only officially recognized international film festival. Since it began in 1985, it has had a large role in the development of Japan’s movie industry and movie culture.
