The second season of the Attack on Titan anime television series was produced by IG Port's Wit Studio, chief directed by Tetsurō Araki and directed by Masashi Koizuka, with Yasuko Kobayashi handling series composition and Kyōji Asano providing character designs. It covers the "Clash of the Titans" arc (chapters 35–50) from the original manga by Hajime Isayama. It was broadcast on MBS TV from April 1 to June 17, 2017,[1] and later aired on Tokyo MX, FBS, TOS, HTB, TV Aichi and BS11.[2] Funimation and Crunchyroll streamed the second season on their respective websites, while Adult Swim aired Funimation's English dubbed version.[3]
The season follows Eren Jaeger and his friends from the 104th Training Corps who have just begun to become full members of the Survey Corps. After fighting the Female Titan, Eren finds no time to rest as a horde of Titans is approaching Wall Rose and the battle for humanity continues. As the Survey Corps races to save the wall, they uncover more about the invading Titans and the dark secrets of their own members.
The score is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. The opening theme song is "Opfert eure Herzen!" (心臓を捧げよ!, Shinzō wo Sasageyo!, lit. "Dedicate your Heart!") by Linked Horizon, and the ending theme song is "Yūgure no Tori" (夕暮れの鳥, lit. "Birds of Twilight") by Shinsei Kamattechan.[4]
