Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK hits select American theaters today, and though Crunchyroll advertised it as a one-day release, it turns out its theatrical run will be slightly longer. The franchise’s official English social media explained, “Due to overwhelming demand, Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK screenings in the US & Canada have been EXTENDED! More chances to experience the epic conclusion on the big screen—don’t miss out!”

Now the movie will be available in theaters for three days instead of one, so you have through February 13.

Director Yuichiro Hayashi explained that he “originally drew the storyboards [for THE FINAL CHAPTERS] with the idea that it would be watched as a single movie. So, having the opportunity to have everyone watch it in the best possible environment, the theater, is a dream come true for me.”

The film is being offered in both dubbed and subbed versions. You can check out the dubbed trailer here, and the subbed trailer here. It also includes a brand-new tag at the end.

Crunchyroll gave this description for the plot:

Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK Plot

Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the highly acclaimed anime series in the franchise’s first-ever theatrical experience delivering the epic finale in a colossal-sized omnibus film.

Humanity lived quietly behind massive walls built to protect themselves from the threat of monstrous creatures called Titans. Their century of peace was shattered by an attack on their city that left a young child, Eren Yeager, motherless and vowing revenge on the titans.

Years after joining the Survey Corps, Eren finds himself facing a deadly foe, and ultimately gains a special ability that unveils a new truth about the world he knows…

After venturing beyond the walls and separated from his comrades, Eren finds himself inspired by this new truth and plots the “Rumbling,” a terrifying plan to eradicate every living thing in the world. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a motley crew of Eren’s former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission. The only question is, can they stop him?
