The official website for Shingeki no Kyojin ~ Hangeki no Noroshi ~ (Attack on Titan: Counterattack’s Beacon), the live-action series based on Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan manga and its live-action movie adaptations, released a trailer on Friday. It announced that the show’s theme song “Hangeki no Ha” (Blade of Counterattack) will sing by Wagakki Band.

“Shingeki no Kyojin ~ Hangeki no Noroshi ~”, the prequel series ties in with the two live-action movies, will have three 30-minute episodes and stream on Docomo’s revamped steaming video service dTV on August 15.

The series will tell a new story about the everyday lives and secrets of soldiers, especially Hanji’s “Titan research” and the origin story of the 3D maneuver gear. Satomi Ishihara will star the series, and reprise her role as Hanji from the two live-action movies.
