Average? All 5 of your favorite series is average/ below average... to me.

Well, at least I saw someone on the wannabe-train by his favourite 5... /sarcasm off

Ahem. I think you've forgotten something.... THERE IS ALREADY A RECAP, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY FOR THE FIRST THIRTEEN EPISODES. DO WE SERIOUSLY NEED ANOTHER ONE?!?

Regardless, I'll watch those movies.

Are they going to recap the recaps they had every single not-recapping-episode of the second half?

I bet if they just cut those they can get the second movie to 90-ish minutes!

... wait, wasn't the animation redone for the Japanese Blu-ray releases? (which, assuming, would be used for the upcoming Funimation releases soon) Haven't fully seen the show, but from what I've found out, some animation bits were a bit of an improvement. If anything, the footage shown in the films would be the redone scenes made earlier.
But yeah, kind of sucks that they would not take the animation's advantage ('cause theater animation should be much grander than TV animation!)

>winter 2014
Is this correct? Shouldn't this be winter 2015? Or is it because winter starts mid-late December that it's still considered 2014?

EDIT: Just looked at the official website. It does say winter 2014. Huh.

The Blu-ray versions fixed almost all of the errors, so the movies will use the corrected version as the source material.

These movies are unnecessary, but they'll do the job in keeping the hype up. I'm actually more stoked to hear the re-dub and new sound mix. I'm a bit of an surround sound whore/audiophile, so I'll look forward to hear the fantastic soundtrack with a new bombastic mix. But yeah, for the others, it's basically filler until S2 is ready.

Oh well, I guess they're doing these movies to promote the series as much as possible before an eventual Season 2, and to make as much money as possible.

Recap movies seem to be the 'in' thing today, particularly for commercially popular shows.I can't believe there are ppl buying these cos they are merely recaps with no footage. I mean they wouldn't keep making these recap movies if they aren't any market for them, right?

I laughed really hard at this XD

I'm pretty indifferent to this news. Though if I lived in Japan and knew Japanese, then I would no doubt be ecstatic since I would love to see this in a movie theater (wait...the movies are going to be in theaters right?). But anyways, I'm not sure why this news seems to annoy/anger so many people. It's not like you're spending money on this...just saying.

I don't really mind recaps so long as they trim down all the unnecessary stuff from 1st season (Trost arc in particular was duh~). Because honestly, AoT anime felt very bloated, uneven, and excessively hammy to the point of total joke. Cutting off those banalities would allow for more focused and tightened plot, something that i had hoped sooo much during the Female Titan arc.

Cool. So it's like Madoka recaps too

Will watch, because I recently got into the seiyuu fandom and a lot of my favourites are in the show. Plus, I may consider reading the manga.

Not sure why everyone is getting annoyed with this announcement.
It's not like these movies are going to delay SnK Season 2, or are you forced to watch them for any reason.
Also these movies to have a purpose. They allow people to watch the series that didn't have the time to watch it with it's late-airing time, or the money to pay $70+ for each of the 9 volumes.
It's a great way to spread the SnK love around in Japan.

So before they make a season 2 they want us to remember all the disappointments from the series compressed into 2 movies, nice.

While they are many great unfinished series out there, crap gets movie recaps. Don't get me wrong at 1st I thought this series was going to be amazing but after episode 10 or so it just got retarded and cliché quick... I stopped watching it at episode 20 because there was no point in completing a disappointing series

Well, episode 1 - 13, removing all the unnecessary recaps and pacing problems, kinda fits for a movie format. CT's first appearance at the start of the movie and eren plugging up the breach for the ending. Same thing with ep 14 - 25 but, that's how i look at it anyway.

Would watch if there's some new scenes animated but for now, not interested.
