User blog:Manuel de la Fuente/Attack on Titan Season 2 pushed back to 2017

Unfortunately I have bad news for all Attack on Titan fans. The last month I informed you that the long awaited Season 2 of the Attack on Titan anime was expected to be released at some point of this Fall, according to the official announcement from 2014 and interviews this year with the production of the anime. However, according to Spanish manga news website Movie Tokyo, Season 2 would have been pushed back to 2017, with an estimated release date expected around January.

In difference to most rumors that are being spread over there without any reliable source to support them, this information is trustworthy, as Movie Tokyo was the first website to confirm the first season of the anime back in 2012, and the recent information was given to them by Selecta Visión, the official distributor of the anime in Spain, which in turn received it directly from Kodansha. In their blog post of the news they have included part of the audio where a representative of Selecta Visión reveals the delay, and the account of Selecta Visión confirms that the interview indeed took place.

The reasons for this delay are still unknown. As revealed by Wit Studio's president George Wada on the Sakura-Con 2016, the season is currently under production, so it's very likely that given the limited staff of the company and the high number of projects they are currently working on, they were unable to meet the original schedule. As soon as we have more information we'll let you know.
