We knew in our early planning stages that we wanted something special to use for the Attack on Titan Part 2 packaging cover. We wanted something that would be a companion piece to the original Key Art featuring the Colossal Titan and Eren used on our Attack on Titan Part 1 packaging. But we also wanted to take advantage of plot lines in the second part of the series, as well as feature characters not previously showcased on the Part 1 cover. What would be better than to show Mikasa facing off against the Female Titan?
So we reached out to the animation studio, and worked in development with them to create something unique! We sent a rough sketch of our concept and our source inspiration images to the studio. They then supplied us with their sketch of the concept, and after a few small tweaks, presto, we have this amazing piece of artwork that no one has seen before to use!
Attack on Titan Part 2 will be available on September 23, 2014, but you can jump over to Shop.Funimation.Com and order your copy today! Click here to buy now.
synopsis:
Eren Jaeger vowed to rid mankind of the bloodthirsty giants who devoured his mother and destroyed his city. Now, after discovering that he has the ability to turn into a Titan, the world Eren promised to protect looks at him like he is the monster.
Narrowly avoiding execution, Eren’s fate is entrusted to the Scout Regiment where he must prove capable of following orders. But on an expedition outside the wall, a unique female Titan appears and cuts through the Scouts, leaving a trail of carnage and splintered bones behind her and making it difficult for Eren to control his rage. As it becomes obvious that a traitor is sabotaging the Regiment from within, Eren must ask himself who humanity’s true enemy really is. Bloody revelations await beyond the wall in this jaw-dropping series io9.com calls “Japan’s equivalent of The Walking Dead.”
The Attack on Titan Part 2 Collector’s Edition is EXCLUSIVE to the FUNimation.com Shop. Collector’s Edition includes the following:
Attack on Titan Ender Art Box mock (artwork and configuration are subject to change)
- 3-D Lenticular Art Card, Notes From Beyond the Wall: Part 2 (24 page digibook featuring character information, interviews, 4 panel comics and more!), 3 Exclusive Banners (Wall Maria, Wall Rose, Wall Sina), an Exclusive Good Smile Picktam! Strap of Eren, and a Collectible Ender Art Box
- On disc extras include: Episode 14 & 25 Commentaries, Attack on Titan at Anime Expo, “Chibi Theatre: Fly, Cadets, Fly!” Days 14-25, Eyecatch Gallery, Textless Songs, and Trailers!
Please include the artbox with the limited edition too!!! I don’t have the money for the collector’s edition, but I really want the artbox to hold the entire series in!!!!
Really guys? You’re gonna charge $30-40 extra for a box? I don’t want the other bonuses, I just want the chipboard box.
Nice to see that Funimation listened to fans’ suggestion and made a beautiful art box, but PLEASE make the art box available for the limited edition too! Limited edition comes in the same digibook format as the collector’s edition, so the owners of the limited edition have the same shipping/handling/shelving issues as those who purchased collector’s edition. The main reason I got the LE was because I couldn’t afford the collector’s edition, so if LE can have the box too it will be really great.
Hopefully they make the artbox available for the limited edition and it also needs to be large enough to hold the 2 parts without trying to pry it out or shake the box to get it to come out.
Will we be able to purchase the art box separately?
FUNimation please include the artbox for the Attack on Titan Part 2 Limited Edition set too! And not just for the Collectors Edition!
please add the artbox to the limited edition version
I agree. Please add the artbox to the standard LE release. Even if it adds an additional $5 to the price, I’d be happy to pay it if it meant getting the artbox as well.
Please consider including the artbox with the limited edition too. I don’t have any need for the other extras from the collector’s edition.
As others have already said, please consider releasing the LE edition of part 2 with the ender art box along with the CE edition. I’m not personally interested in the other things included in the CE, but would pick up the LE over the RE if, and only if, it has the ender art box included. Thank you for releasing the series and licensing all the anime you do. I certainly appreciate all your efforts and hope for the best products you all can put out.
Maybe its just me, but there is a reason why collectors edion is called collectors edition.
Pretty happy that I have the 1st collectors edition (( even though one of the pins was broken 🙁 )). Definitely getting this.
Artbox with LE of part 2 as well please for those of us with the LE of Part 1 Currently who don’t want all the extra (swag) in the collectors edition. I just would like the artbox to hold my current part 1 LE and soon to have part 2 LE of AOT. If I have to purchase the collectors which is like 40 dollars more for just a box to hold the parts (only reason I’d buy it) I’d be very sad. Please put the Artbox on the LE as well. (Maybe throw rightstuf some artbox’s too please).
Please add the art box to the LE ;(
I’ll add my voice to the chorus demanding the ender artbox for the LE edition of part 2. I’ve already ordered and received my LE of part 1 through Right Stuf, and would really like to get JUST the artbox for my LE part 2. I don’t need or want the extra swag that comes with it, as I have no room for all of that.
Like the others have mentioned, PLEASE add the ARTBOX to the Limited Edition as well! I live in Denmark so I couldn’t even buy anything from your site if I wanted to! (I do all my anime shopping at Rightstuf.)
You’ve never cheated the majority out of getting Artboxes for anime, you have always made them readily available everywhere: DON’T STOP NOW
I hope for an artbox too in the Limited Edition release. It would be nice as others have mentioned to have the Limited Edition Part 1 release to hold within the Attack on Titan LE Part 1 artbox.
Please. Please.
Wow. The sketches sent to the studio and it brought about this gorgeous packaging. So amazing. Cover art for many of the FUNimation releases lately are quite beautiful. Attack on Titan’s cover artwork is no exception.
Correction: It would be nice as others have mentioned to have the Limited Edition Part 2 have an artbox to hold within the Attack on Titan LE Part 1.
With a series like this making it look nice and put together would be great. 🙂 Kind of hoping for it to look as fantastic as Guilty Crown Limited Edition Part 1 + Part 2.
I’m also hoping for an artbox for my Limited Editions. Funimation, please at the very least consider making it something a person could choose to buy separately if they want it.
