I think, Attack on titan is probably gonna be a 12 episode anime that will make everyone hate the source material, happened with zetman and deadman wonderland.

There are a few other series to, but I can't think of any, off the top of my head. What are your thoughts, the PV looks good, hope it will be good, I really do.

Also it will probably be 12 episodes, not enough manga to adapt, and by the animation, they probably won't be able to afford 24 episodes.

Edit - I think I was completely wrong, I love this show so far, I just finished episode 2 and realized, almost half of it was filler, but even the filler developed the characters bonds and relationship, something you barely ever see in filler.

Stop judging things based on nothing, you have no idea how it will turn. Just because you think it will 12 episodes, doesn't mean it will be. Also a lot of people loved the animation in the PV

I don't see why not.

They could probably pull 24 episodes too if they wanted to. Every chapter is 40 pages + and most manga standards are about 20+ pages a chapter.

So it would actually be like they have 80+ chapters if going by those numbers.
They could easily do 12 episodes. Who knows how many they plan to do though.

As for the animation that is something we have to wait and see, but the PV shows a little promise, but I don't know if it will stay A-grade quality all the way through.

I didn't say anything was wrong with the animation, I was saying if you see how detailed it was animated, i doubt they can afford to do that for 24 episodes.

I read that the manga has gotten pretty popular so it may end up following the manga with 24 eps, I see no reason to change the story or anything

You'll never know. I mean I'll be damned IF it's the same thing like Code:breaker where it didn't really follow-up the manga as well as previous High School of the Dead then BTOOM! which it didn't really finished.

More like it's another Guilty Crown because of producer (Production IG) & director (Tetsuo Araki) are the same.

Nothing will beat SAO in terms of being SAO. Nearly 38k posts in its sub forum (as of 1/20/13). Even One Piece hasn't gotten pass 30k with over 500 episodes.

So unless this anime gets 400~500+ post per episode discussion, I'd say it'll be more in the level of GC as well.

I think they could get about 22 or 24 episodes out of what they have.

I won't complain about the art at all, because the manga has some pretty bad art. The only thing I'm worried about is the giants, they need to look creepy as hell.

The giants is fugly as hell
For me, first impression is important. It will decide my choice on watching the anime or not

But aside from the ugly giants, the BGM is awesome, it's I.G., and Kaji Yuki for main role attracts me

It'll be on my trial list (trial list : watching 1st 3 episodes before deciding continue watch the series or not)

Let me first start off by saying popularity=/quality. Just to throw that out there. Whether this anime is popular or not will not change my opinion on the show. As long as the writing and animation stays consistent that's all that matters.

Now on to this shows popularity. The first preview has reached 1,294,214 views in less than a month. This is completely unheard of. Anime previews like this have never reached that number of views ever and in under a month at that. To this day the original SAO preview only has 435,243 views.

Second, this is a manga not a LN adaption. In terms of popularity manga sells much more than LNs and this particular manga sells close to 2 million a volume. Last I checked SAO LN sells aren't near that from volume to volume. This means more than likely twice the people are keeping up with this in Japan alone.

Basically, if this show can deliver and not disappoint then I fully to expect this to be the biggest show in terms popularity and discussion that this site has ever seen.

I can only imagine what the Blu-ray sales will be like as well..

Currently looking at their track history and the only recently bad thing they have done is Guilty Crown. That's only because they hired a bad writer. Production I.G has some if not the best animators in the industry. Not to mention they can always make their projects have huge budgets.

Honestly can't think of a better studio to adapt this. Certainly not A-1, Studio Pierrot, current Ganiax or current Madhouse.

Why wouldn't it be 24 episodes? Production I.G. is pretty rich, plus they are trying to build hype for the new branch, they don't want to half ass it.


Agreed, I don't see why it wouldn't be at least 24 episodes since Guilty Crown and Psycho Pass are also "high-budget" anime that are 22 episodes.

I also think it's mainly the writer's fault not the director or the producer...UNLESS the director is also the writer, then that would be different. I think people get confused at what the primary job is, which is to direct the animation, meaning the cinematography. If it's the just the directing, I think Tetsuo Araki did a great job with Guilty Crown. It's time people learn that there is a difference between directors and writers. So you can't base the fact Tetsuo Araki is the same director for Guilty Crown and say that this will be a bad anime...unless he is also the writer. But it is unlikely that he will be considering what he mainly does is storyboard and directing.

Same director as well as same actor like Yuki Kaaji, of course!

I mean great, I never thought why he always potrayed as an obnoxious characters like Shuu Ouma in GC, Haru from Accel World & Hanemura Megumu from recent Zetsuen no tempest

I already hate how the SAO kids will swarm into the manga discussion threads once they discover this series.

I am rather pessimistic about the whole show, the gritty tone of the manga as well as the fight scenes might be hard to adapt.

I hope not. The manga is great and the PV looks good. One thing beside the possibility of a bad adaptation that could destroy Shingeki is the hype or expectations. But for now, I think it's gonna be fine
And some people expecting this to be the new SAO? lol
That's just a horrible wish expecting an anime to be hated like SAO (not that I hate SAO)

Yeah, really tired hearing people talk about SAO, even in non SAO thread....But, SAO is not as bad as some people says. It's just overhyped and overrated imo. And please don't call people who likes SAO stupid, you don't have any right to call people stupid just because they like SAO.
I like SAO and I realized there are many weaknesses. But, I just really enjoyed watching it. I watch anime for entertainment and SAO entertained me a lot. Maybe, some people are more picky about plot holes, characters, etc and that's why they dislike SAO. But, imo some people really went overboard in criticizing or even hating SAO.

production IG s capable of having high budgets. They are quite the capable studio with great animators. If you're just looking at track records, you won't get much. they have shown great capabilities in some of their best works. I'd say production IG is probably the best choice for studio.

Nobody is saying it's going to be a great adaptation, and you don't know if it will or not for sure. You're right there are series where they don't follow the manga and people hate it, but there are also others where they do and people love it.

Are you psychic or something? Teach me your ways sensei.

In honest opinion, the directer and other staff are good, the seiyuus are good too. This doesn't seem like it'd be 12 episodes, since it's Production I.G. stuff I expect it to be around 22.

If you're wrong, you'll be pretty embarassed... but whatever floats your boat I guess.

So forum members are wondering whether or not this adaptation will suck huh? I would hope id doesn't suck but only time will tell.

I.G is known for its top notch animation but recently with one of their latest works being GC I guess anime watchers have lost some faith in the staff.

I personally don't think this will be as bad as SAO or GC unless the creators do what they did in GC and put the focus in all the wrong places. With a source in hand, it should be easier to approach the storyline so this should not be an excuse but I guess it's also a matter of execution.

The director is clearly capable of setting the right tone in the anime and this is one of the things I praise in GC despite having poor plot and characters. What I hope is done right here is having the emphasis on characters. If the writers are bad then there could very likely be problems but I hope I.G learned from their mistakes with GC and have a backup should the writers fail to take the plot in the right direction in the first few eps.

Tl:dr If I.G learned from their mistakes with GC then this anime should be an improvement over everything GC did wrong if we consider PP which has turned out to be good so far.

it's PRODUCTION I.G, guys.

even if it's going to be 12 episodes in length, there would probably be a sequel, or a movie.

just look at Kuroko no Basuke, Ghost in the Shell, xxxHOLIC, Kimi ni Todoke and Sengoku Basara.
all of these titles have sequels.

i believe that Production I.G won't screw up this one.

Can't wait for this one! I really hope it is 22 episodes or more, but 12 episodes is fine if it gets a second season.

Also, I love how much SAO bothers the vast MINORITY of those that dislike it. It makes me love SAO even more :)

There are a few other series to, but I can't think of any, off the top of my head. What are your thoughts, the PV looks good, hope it will be good, I really do.

Also it will probably be 12 episodes, not enough manga to adapt, and by the animation, they probably won't be able to afford 24 episodes.


There is a good anime with 13 ep's

like Fate zero, but i hope this anime to be far away from SAO
