Attack On Titan X Star Flyer: Design, Theme, And All You Know About
One of the most beloved and acclaimed anime series of all time, Attack on Titan, is preparing to bid farewell with its finale episode scheduled for November 4, 2023. To celebrate the conclusion of Eren’s journey, a unique collaboration between Attack on Titan and Star Flyer, a Japanese domestic airline, has taken flight. This marks the first-ever collaboration of Attack on Titan with an airline, promising an unforgettable experience for fans.
The Evolution of Eren
Attack on Titan introduced us to an innocent Eren, the series’ central character, whose initial wish was for the survival of his people, the Eldians. Over time, Eren’s innocence gradually faded, leaving fans longing to revisit his younger self. Thanks to Star Flyer, we have the chance to do just that. The specially designed aircraft features characters from Attack on Titan’s early seasons, allowing us to reconnect with Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Sasha, Marco, Jean, and others.
A Flight to Remember
On September 12, 2023, exciting news surfaced about the first-ever Attack on Titan-themed aircraft. This unique flight experience is set to take off on November 4, 2023, aligning with the airing of the series finale. The aircraft’s design pays homage to Attack on Titan’s earlier seasons, with iconic characters donning the attire of the Survey Corps, a nostalgic nod to the anime’s beginnings.
Anime Takes to the Skies
The collaboration between anime and aviation is not new in Japan. Several popular anime franchises, including Pokemon and Demon Slayer, have seen themed aircraft. Demon Slayer, for instance, boasts three specially designed jets. Now, Attack on Titan joins this exclusive club, bringing its captivating world to the skies.
A Unique Journey Awaits
Star Flyer’s “Attack on Titan Special Jet” is set to commence operations on November 4, 2023. Passengers can embark on this unique journey from various destinations, including Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. The aircraft, with the translated logline “The Battleship of the Colossal Warrior,” will feature characters like Eren and others wrapped on its exterior.
A Tradition of Anime Planes
While this collaboration is a first for Attack on Titan, themed airplanes have a well-established tradition in Japan. The Demon Slayer franchise, for instance, has had three anime-inspired planes in service over the past few years. These themed flights offered passengers a unique experience, including in-flight announcements by beloved characters, episodes of the anime, and even flight attendants in anime-inspired uniforms.
Tomoji Ishii, Executive Vice President of ANA, noted the significance of such collaborations, saying, “This partnership highlights Japan’s rich pop culture and restores a coveted in-flight experience.”
Final Thoughts
As Attack on Titan prepares to take its final bow, fans have a unique opportunity to soar through the skies with their favorite characters. This collaboration between Attack on Titan and Star Flyer promises to be an unforgettable experience, blending the magic of anime with the thrill of aviation. So, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a journey like no other, as you celebrate the epic conclusion of Attack on Titan.
