Attack on Titan's third season airs on the public broadcasting channel NHK General TV. The channel has preempted almost all of its regular programming on Sunday evening to provide updates on Typhoon Trami (also known as Typhoon #24).

Tokyo Disneyland closed one hour early at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday and will reopen one hour late at 9:00 a.m. on Monday. Universal Studios Japan closed entirely on Sunday, but tentatively plans to open with regular hours on Monday.
East Japan Railway Company, the main train operator in eastern Japan, ended service in the Tokyo area early at 8:00 p.m., but then reported that it will operate on a normal schedule by Monday morning except for some lines.
The television anime of Attack on Titan manga premiered in April 2013, and its second season premiered in April 2017. The ongoing third season premiered in July.
