The Ape Titan is just one of two titan shifters debuting in the second season of Attack on Titan which will be airing starting April, 2017

After the immense success of "Attack on Titan" Season 1, the anime returns on April 1 for its second season installment.

However, even if the day of its debut is fast approaching, there are hardly any hints as to what to expect in the coming season. According to Comic Book, in the most recent update, the magazine "Revo" featured the anime. Accordingly, the images of the characters released consumed almost two pages of the publication.

 Fans are more than happy to see Reiner and Bertolt again. In "Attack on Titan" Season 1, these members of Survey Group ended up as traitors, but it seems that the table has turned in the upcoming season. Another familiar character featured was Krista. She is riding a horse with her hair dramatically flowing. With the details of Krista's image, fans already speculated that she will have bigger and more mature role.

In addition, reports claimed that the show's director, Tetsuro Araki, shared some exciting details about the anime during his interview with ANIPLUS Asia,

Among others, he hinted on what fans can expect in the upcoming season. As per the development in the manga, Araki shared that he is happy that some of the characters made it out alive. With the pictures of some familiar faces, this could only mean a comeback of other characters in "Attack on Titan" Season 2. He hinted the bigger roles of Ymir and Krista as the story may focus on them.

To date, the working synopsis of "Attack on Titan" Season 2 includes that of Eren Jaeger vowing to eradicate titan species, and his battle to save humanity will once again commence with the horde of titans coming to Wall Rose.

For those uninitiated, "Attack on Titan" is known for its nerve-wrecking and gruesome storyline. The story revolves around the battle of Eren Yeager against creatures called titans who already infested their cities and abode. As they get more caught up with the battle, the true evil they must confront with unfolds before their very eyes.

Meanwhile, according to Asiastarz, the director is very positive on the success of the show. "Attack on Titan" Season 2 is expected to feature the beginning of Titans' domination - from the building of the wall and how the rest of other things happened.
