The live-action adaptation of the popular manga 'Attack on Titan' has just released a new trailer, and this time it finally features the much awaited 3D gear maneuver.
'Shingeki no Kyojin,' as the manga is known in Japan, takes place in a future where the few remaining humans live inside enormous walls. The legend dictates that the walls were put up to protect the humans from the Titans, who are gigantic creatures that have developed a taste for human flesh. However, it has been over 100 years since humans have seen a Titan.
One day, a large Titan attacks the wall and reminds humanity that the war is not over.
The story revolves around Eren Jaeger (Haruma Miura), his sister Mikasa Ackerman (Kiko Mizuhara) and their friend Armin Arlert (Kanata Hongo). The three friends enlist into the Survey Corps, a group of soldiers who battle against the Titans outside the safety of the walls.
The new trailer shows the Survey Corps in action, using the 3D gear maneuver. The video is in Japanese, but a translation has been provided by ANN.
