On The Shoulders of Giants. Oh, Wait a Second..... So yeah, this week, Allen ended up covering the final stretch of AoT, known as Attack on Titan: The Final Season. It's a bit of a complicated setup, but this does cover the remainder of the show all the way to its end -- I mean, "The Final", right? And again, next week's a bit up in the air. See you next Monday. -Stig Høgset.
