Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom

Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom (2015) is a feature-length anime you can watch online on iFILM. Director Tetsurō Araki condenses the back half of season one into a single film, running from the retaking of the Trost District out to the first scouting mission beyond the wall.

Eren Yeager already knows he can turn into a Titan; controlling that power is another matter. He's placed under Captain Levi, humanity's deadliest soldier and its coldest stare, while the Survey Corps prepares an expedition outside the walls. Somewhere among the ranks moves the Female Titan — an intelligent shifter hunting Eren specifically. Yūki Kaji, Yui Ishikawa and Marina Inoue lead the voice cast.

Keep in mind this is a recap, not new material, which makes it a clean way to refresh the arc before season two or to step into Hajime Isayama's world without grinding through 25 episodes. The ODM-gear motion, the grim tone and the franchise's trademark brutality all carry over. Stream Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom (2015) online on iFILM.
