Funimation is bringing an Attack on Titan panel and a screening of Josee, The Tiger and the Fish to the upcoming Anime NYC 2021 convention.

Funimation announced on its official blog that the company will take part in Anime NYC’s return to in-person festivities this year. The anime streamer and distribution company will host two events at the convention: the first, scheduled to take place on the expo’s first day on Nov. 19 at 4:30 P.M. EST, will be an Attack on Titan panel that will discuss the show’s final season with its English voice cast. The cast will discuss their characters relationships in the first half of the season, and will also talk about the changes coming in the last part of the show’s run. Funimation will follow that up with a screening of the critically acclaimed Josee, The Tiger and The Fish on Nov. 20 at 11:30 A.M. EST. The film will be screened with its original Japanese audio track with English subtitles.

Anticipation for the second half of Attack on Titan‘s final season is at all time high, following the release of a new season trailer last week and a short preview video for the next episode several days ago. The last run of episodes for the series will adapt the final few chapters of Hajime Isayama’s globally popular manga series, including its controversial ending. Part 2 of the Final Season will premiere in Japan on Jan. 9. A series of recap specials, which will go over the events of the show’s first 75 episodes, will air on Japanese TV shortly before Part 2’s premiere. The recap specials will also feature scenes from the series’ OVA (original video animation) releases, which retold certain key scenes from the series through the perspectives of Annie, Mikasa and Levi. The recaps will also feature newly animated scenes from studio MAPPA, who took over production of the series from Studio Wit, who animated the first three seasons of the series.

Josee, The Tiger and The Fish was directed by Noragami‘s Kotaro Tamura and is based on a 1985 short story written by Akutagawa Prize-winning author Seiko Tanabe. The movie was nominated for Best Animation in the 75th Mainichi Film Awards and Animation of the Year for the 44th Japan Academy Film Prize. The BONES animated film is the third adaptation of Seiko Tanabe’s short story to be made. Josee, The Tiger and The Fish was made into a live-action film in Japan in 2003 and was adapted for film again in South Korea in 2020. Funimation gave the animated movie a limited theatrical run in the United States and Canada in July.

The Ackermans are known for their superhuman abilities, but little is known about all the hardships the clan had to go through to get where they are now. The pain and suffering of their ancestors still place a heavy toll on the current generation.

The Ackermans’ History Has Been Erased

The Ackerman Clan was sworn to secrecy and not allowed to talk about the Eldian Empire’s past. The existence of the clan itself was also lost throughout history as no mention of their name can be found in any public documents.

The current generation of Ackermans has little to no knowledge about themselves or where they came from. Their existence is only found in stories and legends told by the Royal Family.

They Were Forced To Serve The Royal Family

The Eldian Empire conducted experiments that lead to the accidental creation of the Ackerman bloodline. They were researching Titan science, which led to the existence of the clan. Upon completion of their research, they were forced to protect the Eldian King. There was a lot of pressure put on them to make sure that humanity survived past the Titans era.

Kenny Ackerman had a close relationship with the Royal Family and began working for Uri Reiss, who was the King at one point. Although this seems positive, Kenny planned to betray the Royal Family when he found out they were using him for his strength as an Ackerman.

They Were Hunted Down Heavily

After the collapse of the Royal Family and the Eldian Empire, the Ackerman Clan was hunted to near extinction. They fled for safety within the walls, but because the King could not control them, he decided that it would be better to have them all killed. The King was scared that the Ackermans would overthrow him and decided that eradication of their bloodline was the only way to protect the Eldians.

Fearing decimation and in order to protect their children, the Ackermans took a vow of silence to never discuss the existence of their clan. The combination of the hunt and the vow is what effectively eradicated the Ackerman clan.

Their Powers Awaken Through Trauma

In order to obtain the Ackerman abilities, each member of the clan must experience severe trauma to awaken their dormant powers. Mikasa awakened her powers in order to protect Eren and herself. The murder of her parents was the moment that changed her life forever. Mikasa’s abilities were triggered by Eren telling her to fight, allowing her to take on the criminals in her home.

The awakening is determined by the fight or flight mode. Their instincts allow them to get stronger, but not without suffering first. If an Ackerman never experiences mental trauma, they will not be able to gain any abilities. The pain and suffering leaves the Ackermans with a past that will impact them forever.

An Ackerman Has To Die To Pass On Their Powers To The Next Generation

In the Royal Government arc, Kenny explains that the Ackermans’ powers are also inherited. In order for the abilities to pass from one generation to the next, a previous heir must die. Similar to Titan Shifters, their awakening depends on the loss of someone close to them, such as the murder of Mikasa’s parents or the death of Levi’s mother.

The clan’s memories and abilities are also linked to one another’s, which can only be passed on through death. If there is no loss of life, then the powers will not be passed onto the next generation of Ackermans.
