'Attack on Titan' Season 2 release date news 2016: Anime series to conclude after season 2?

It was already revealed that the second season of the 2013 hit anime series, "Attack on Titan" will premiere in Spring 2017. The production of Season 2 has encountered several problems, and it took several months before the production stage of the series commenced. However, as the fans have been rejoicing for the confirmed Season 2 air date, the next chapter of the megahit series might actually be the last.
It was noted by Enstarz that the current developments in the story of "Attack on Titan" manga version might be leading to the conclusion of the series as a whole. As the original manga series is the primary source material of the anime series, it is expected that these events will also be featured in the second season. In this case, the series finale of "Attack on Titan" might happen towards the end of season 2.
Specifically, the present events in the manga have featured the shocking deaths of two of the most popular and heroic characters in the series. Enstarz reported that Armin and Eren both died during their intense battle against the ruthless titans. The two well-known villainous titans in the series, the Colossus Titan and the Beast Titan, have finally faced the leaders of the Survey Corps for one last showdown. The outcome of this battle is telling for the future of the Scout Regimen, that will also impact the actions of the squads that sworn to fight the titans and protect the remaining human survivors.
Even with the great titan villains defeated, the death of the two lead characters of "Attack on Titan" might just signal the end of the story. As the manga chapters get translated into the anime episodes for season 2, it can be expected that the second part of the series might show this kind of ending as well. However, as the manga series has not formally concluded yet, there are still many possibilities that could happen in the story, especially with the fate of the protagonist.
