Attack on Titan fans anxious to see how the anime concludes won't have to wait much longer. We already knew that the long-awaited finale is premiering on Saturday, Nov. 4, but now Crunchyroll has revealed exactly when subscribers outside of Japan can stream the series finale.
In a blog post, Crunchyroll confirmed that Attack on Titan Final Season: The Final Chapters, Special 2, will hit the service tomorrow, Nov. 4 at 5pm PT in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS and Southeast Asia. For those doing the time zone math, that means it's actually streaming on Sunday, Nov. 5 in Europe and the Middle East.
It's hitting the streaming service just a few hours after it's scheduled to air at midnight in Japan, which should make for some welcome news for international fans. There was some confusion over The Final Chapters, Special 1, back in March, when a delay in hitting Crunchyroll and Hulu left many scrambling to find the episode online.
The release date previously leaked last September, when an unlisted video description on a YouTube channel noted Nov. 4 would seemingly be the day the final episode airs.

Attack on Titan premiered in 2013 and quickly became one of the most popular modern anime, with its brutal story of a world in which giant Titans have forced humans to hide in terror inside massive walled-off cities. The two specials for the final chapters of Attack on Titan were actually Part 3 of its final season. However, in January, Crunchyroll revealed that it planned to split Part 3 of the final season into two halves.
In our review of Attack on Titan: The Final Chapters, Special 1, which we awarded the episode a 10/10, we said, "Attack on Titan returns with the penultimate part of its final season to remind us why this anime became the global sensation it is. The animation, story, themes, emotions, and the characters all reach their highest potential."
