An “Attack On Titan” Subaru Commercial?!

The popularity of Attack on Titan has now spread to car commercials! The team that will be working on the upcoming (slated for 2015) live-action adaptation of the popular anime/manga series gave us a glimpse at what the titans may look like in this exciting Subaru Forrester commercial. Take a look!

Also, there is a creepy/cool behind-the-scenes video, all in Japanese, that shows how they did the effects. Now, when I first heard they would be making a live-action version of Attack on Titan I was extremely skeptical (still am) but seeing what the titans could look like in this ad puts me a little at ease.

As for the brutality that will be in the film, I hope they do not shy away from how intense the show is. The violence and shock when someone dies is part of the viewing experience. It makes the world of the show real and shows you this is not just some game. For example, I liked how Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters depicted the troll smashing humans (the talented effects team at Spectral Motion who also did Hellboy!). Hopefully the filmmakers for Attack on Titan will go a similar route. Then there is the 3D maneuver gear! Imagine all the work that went into making Spider-Man swing around town, put that on crack and do it for five to ten characters zipping around all at once! We shall see.

Either way, the advertisement is epic just like the show! What do you think of the ad? Do you like how they made the titans come alive?
