Attack on Titan Creator Breaks Silence on Upcoming Musical

Live-action musicals are nothing new for the anime world, with Japan diving into productions for Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, Pokemon, and Death Note being just a few examples. Now, a new musical was announced that will bring both the Scout Regiment and the behemoths they hunt to live as Attack on Titan is receiving a stage play of its own.

This wouldn't be the first time that Attack on Titan was brought to the world of live-action, as Japan released live-action movies telling a very different story of Hajime Isayama's creation. Unfortunately, one of the past stage plays resulted in the death of a performer in a tragic accident, which Isayama mentions in his thoughts on the upcoming musical:

"When I heard about this stage production, I was worried because there had been a very sad accident in the past. However, I believe that the people involved in the stage production are very aware of this and will take extra care in the production. Having said that, I would like to congratulate and look forward to this stage adaptation. Above all, I hope that both the viewers and creator of Attack on Titan, now that the mange is over, will enjoy it. Thank you very much.
