News On Attack On titans

The live-action feature film adaptation of the dystopian "Attack on Titan" manga series won't hit big screens until 2015, but fans can get a peek at what the human-devouring creatures will look like as early as next month.
In collaboration with the film's director, Shinji Higuchi, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. Is going to air a commercial in January for its Subaru Forester SUV that will include the giant live-action Titan monsters for the first time.
The TV ad will air in late January during the "Kinyo Roadshow!" (Friday Roadshow!) movie slot held by Nippon Television Network Corp. and its affiliated broadcasters.
FHI has set up a special website with storyboard illustrations drawn by Higuchi and behind-the-scenes photos from the set. The latest information about the movie will be shown on their site.
Created by Hajime Isayama, "Attack on Titan" has been running in Kodansha Ltd.'s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine monthly comic anthology.
It talks about the story of humans forced to live within high walls that protect them from the Titans, giant creatures that eat humans but don’t necessarily have to eat to survive since they get energy from the sun. When one of the walls is breached by a colossal giant, the humans are thrown into a hopeless battle with the titans in order to survive.
Currently spanning 12 volumes, the manga has over 28 million copies in print. An animated TV series adaptation aired earlier this year. "Attack on Titan" has been published in other languages, and the English volumes have been on The New York Times' manga bestseller list for many weeks.
Higuchi took over the live-action adaptation project from Tetsuya Nakashima after the "Confessions" director dropped out of the project. Higuchi is best known for the "Gamera" monster film trilogy, "Japan Sinks," and the short film "A Giant Warrior Descends on Tokyo."

Scrap a company that makes real escape games is developing an attack on titans game Players take on the role of new recruits into the Scout Corps the people who fight to protect people from the man eating titans. On the players first day as members of the corps the city is attacked by the titans. Instead of the pairs of sword and the other gears used to fight the titans in the anime series your goal is to flee to the inner sanctum of the walled city, solving puzzles to pass through the gates in the anti-Titan walls along the way. Players only have a limited time of one hour to escape any person left outside of the inner sanctum of the walled city will presumably be eaten by the titans (or politely guided to the exits by Scrap staff).
