What happened at the internet cafe that inspired Isayama to write 'Attack on Titan'?
Back when Isayama was still an aspiring mangaka, he worked at an internet cafe to save money to follow his dream. Like many souls that have worked in the customer service field, Isayama found himself facing a drunk customer one day.
According to a report from Anime News Network, the drunk customer inspired Isayama to create Attack on Titan. Isayama was struck by the fact that he and the drunk man were both human beings, and yet they couldn't communicate. This theme would later play a significant role in the plot of the series (when the real villains plaguing Eren Jaeger and his friends are eventually revealed).
What makes Attack on Titan such a beloved story for fans is the fact that there is no clear "just right" or "unhealthy" side in the story.
Although Isayama concluded the Attack on Titan manga in April 2021 with a final chapter that ignited many fan debates, the anime series will not conclude until 2022. Season 4, Part 2 of the Attack on Titan anime has been confirmed to premiere on Jan. 9, 2022.
Now that Isayama has finished 'Attack on Titan,' what's next?
Right now, there's no word on Isayama's next project. The mangaka did make an official statement about his excitement over Season 4, Part 2's premiere next year, via the official Attack on Titan website. Isayama apologized to MAPPA Studios for the fact that they had to animate difficult scenes from the final chapters of the Attack on Titan manga.
He said, "I'm actually taking a look ahead to the get started of the 2nd final season. Even in the unique, it was truly difficult drawing many scenes that the assistants had a difficult time with. I'm very sorry to have afflicted MAPPA again. I'm having a look ahead to [gazing] the difficult scenes. I'm hoping that individuals who see it for the first time in the anime may also experience it. "
It could also be daunting for Isayama to take on a new story after the massive success of Attack on Titan. It would be understandable if he took a genuinely-earned smash. The mangaka has surely worked exhausting for 11 years, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with subsequent.
