Attack on Titan Episode 15 “Special Operations Team” Preview Images and Synopsis

I wonder if seeing Rivaille in vague cleaning clothing will send any fangirls into fits.

Yeah, something like that.

After much deliberation, it has been decided that Eren will be a new member of the Scouting Legion’s Special Operations Team, affectionately known as the Rivaille Team. The Rivaille team is made of up of the Scouting Legion’s most elite members that all compliment each other. There will be an expedition to explore outside the walls in 30 days, but for now, Eren is to observe two titan specimens captured for research during the Trost operation.

Screenplay is Hiroshi Seko, who I’m almost tempted to just not write anymore and only list the screenwriter if they’re an exception. Storyboarder is a new guy, though, sort of. Keiichi Sasajima has worked for the show before with Art Setting Assistance on the last episode. He’s otherwise had a good mix of storyboard, Samurai Champloo, Gunbuster, and key animation, Now and Then, Here and There, Armitage: Dual Matrix.  Director is Kiyoshi Fukumoto back from Episodes 3 and 11. Animation Direction team is a whopping four people, Satoshi Sakai, Satomi Miyazaki, Hatsue Koizumi, and Daisuke Saito, all familiar faces from earlier in the series.

There’s no new “Training Corps” this week, so I’ll buffer this with a little extra Titan news until one shows up.

To promote the blu-rays, this slick Ferrari was sent out with fliers. Everyone got an eyeful of a cool car, cool poses, cute characters, and also some information about the show. But who was passing it out? Who else?

His sash says “Shingeki no Kyojin Advertising Captain,” and who better suited to that job?
