Last year, the anime adaptation of Hajime Isayama's <em>Attack On Titan</em> dystopian dark fantasy manga became a cultural hit, grabbing worldwide attention. This success has seen the release of spin-off manga, light novels, a video game, a live-action movie that's still in production and now, anime movies. The official website for the anime announced today that the events of the first television series will be retold through two compilation movies: <em>Attack On Titan Part 1: Crimson Bow And Arrow</em>, which will open in Japan this winter and retell the story of the series' first thirteen episodes and <em>Attack On Titan Part 2: Wings of Freedom</em>, which will follow the events of episodes 14-25 when it is released next year.

Lead cast members Yuki Kaji (Eren Yeager), Yui Ishikawa (Misaka Ackerman) and Marina Inoue (Armin Arlelt) have been confirmed as reprising their roles from the TV series for the movies, which will feature a new dub and a 5.1ch remaster.

Manga Entertainment UK have licensed the <em>Attack On Titan</em> TV anime and are releasing it in the United Kingdom later this year.

I am a big fan of the series but unless there are some new scenes, this is what I would call making money, milking the cow, etc...
 
I was just thinking to myself yesterday that I was surprised no AOT films had been announced. Anyway, I'm happy with this - someone I know only watches anime in movie form, so this would be a great way to introduce them to Attack on Titan.
 
These may actually turn out better than the TV series as all the time-wasting nonsense (like several minutes of recaps in most episodes) can be edited out and the at times terrible pacing put right.
 
If this sorts out the stupid pacing issues the series had, then this could work out far better than the series did. Sure the series had a fantastic first episode, but it doesn't save the rest of the series from it. I'm not sure if i'll watch it though. While it could quicken things, they didn't actually miss out on too much in the series, so i don't know of much else they could add.
 
This reminds me, I totally forgot about this show. I was loving it, but then got too busy and completely forgot about it. Just need to remember what ep I was at.
