Wit Studio President Reveals Attack on Titan Was Their Only Choice

Before Wit Studio became a household name for hits like SPY x FAMILY and Ranking of Kings, they were a brand new team looking for the perfect project to start their journey. Company president George Wada recently shared that there was never any real debate about what their first anime should be.

In a conversation at Anime Expo, Wada explained that Attack on Titan was the only option they considered for their debut. At the time, the studio needed a strong start and they believed this story had the potential to make a massive impact. This gamble paid off, as the show quickly became a worldwide phenomenon and put the studio on the map.

It is fascinating to think about how different the animation landscape might look if they had chosen a different path. Because of the success of that first production, Wit Studio built a reputation for high quality action and storytelling that continues today. Fans of the studio surely have that early decision to thank for the incredible work we see now.
