"I basically think all of it is one big highlight. But there was a three- to four-year gap in the production process. During that time, work was still getting done on the scripts and stuff, but it's not like we kept animating the series and beyond," Koizuka said.
"Meanwhile, the staff have polished their skills, and they're now capable of expressing themselves at a higher level. Whatever I picture as the finished visuals, the staff put out stuff that is far more creative," he added.
When asked about specific character highlights in the next installment of "Attack on Titan," the director easily responded that Krista and Ymir will be the ones that "really shine in Season 2."
In the upcoming second season of "Attack on Titan," Eren Jaeger, after discovering that he is also Titan, uses his new powers to defend humanity from the monsters that threaten their home. Though he managed to defeat the Female Titan, he has no time to celebrate, because a horde of Titans is already approaching Wall Rose, threatening to erase all of humanity as they know it.
The second season of "Attack on Titan" is scheduled to debut on April 1.
