Attack on Titan 10th anniversary project announced at Anime Japan 2023 will have a live cast event and more

The Attack on Titan panel on Anime Japan 2023 consisted of Kaji Yuki (Eren Yeager), Marina Inoue (Armin Arlert), and Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa Ackerman). The event began with each of the cast members recounting their favorite scenes from Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 part 1. Ishikawa chose the scene of Eren and Mikasa as children in the flashback, Kaji selected the scene of Eren apologizing to Ramzi, and Inoue’s favorite was Armin and Annie’s talk on the boat en route to Odiha.

The moderator then announced the commencement of the 10th Anniversary project of the anime, which first aired in 2013. The cast commented on their journey during this 10 years, and how much they have been affected by their characters. Yuki Kaji’s interpretation of Eren was particularly impressive, seeing as mangaka Hajime Isayama has stated that Kaji’s portrayal of Eren compelled him to reconfigure the character’s final moment.
