I've finally calmed down after the sudden flurry of announcement and included links above to all news.

Personally, I'm even more bloody fudging stoked for this now. Delay may be inevitable but what can we do? Just give it your best shot, MAPPA!

I'm afraid the temptation to binge the manga now is too much...

TBH i like the animation a decent one
"Where ever you are in this world. I will always going to find you.."

"Who cares if we can't see any sunshine, I want you more than any Blue Sky.."

"I hope you'll remember me, even just a little bit.."

"Even if the world is destroyed, I still want to see your smile again.."

"I'm the one who lived my life just to meet you, just like cherry blossoms waiting for the spring.."

Shuhei Yabuta confirms the Titans PV is pre-animated. He did a great job with the storyboard of it but also important to remember it wont necessarily be indicative of the TV final result. They have re-used pre-animated footage before but it remains to be seen how much if any.

source https://twitter.com/PurpleGeth/status/1266299614371516419

err ye lol it might look worse than that then hopefully im wrong

@keragamming

Imai was credited for a long time as the main ace key action animator though we all know that

MAPPA is LOADED with those projects. The pv looks generic asf but not as bad as OPM s2 pv. The director is hit or miss, so im worried. Most likely 2021 release because MAPPA is loaded is year.

@deg

It's not a stretch to assume he won't work on it. While he is a freelancer he is still closely tied to Wit and Production I.G as well as Kyoji Asaono and Tetsuro Araki and none of them are related to the Final Season of Attack on Titan so the chances of him appearing here are smaller. Maybe he does in some small capacity but I don't expect him to have major roles like Action Animation Director, etc. He is probably working on Great Pretender too. I would be glad to be proven wrong

I have.... virtually no faith in MAPPA's ability to manage their projects, more so as of late after they burned a lot of bridges with numerous talents by genuinely treating its staff worse than the industries own pitiful standards lmao

I personally wouldn't expect the same production quality but who knows... They are similar to J.C Staff in that they take shit load of projects and then aren't able to manage any of them properly

Ok, I can see why persons are being all negative, but based off the trailer that is a good sign to me, if they trailer looked horrible I would be on board that snk final season will be bad.

But personally I think this was the most hype snk trailer, only complaints is the amount of spoiler in it. Even the cgi collosal titan doesn't look as bad as the one in the season 3 part 2.

But as a fan I hope mappa does justice, but for now I'm more confident after seeing the trailer.

Keep in mind that the trailer was pre-animated (confirmed by VS director on twitter). So the cuts in this trailer will likely end up in the show but the it doesn't necessarily indicate overall quality.

The art style feels different. While i like how titans look, i am conflicted about the human characters. Especially Levi's face looks fatter and he looks... bigger?

Levi looked considerably fatter (chummy cheeks) and the stern glare looks all but gone. I'm most disappointed by Mikasa's new look, though. Only Eren, Jean and the Marley characters looked great. in my opinion.

Animation seems lighter in comparison too and I don't think this will suit AOT but we'll see in due time.

I don’t want to be misunderstood.

MAPPA has become “just” a big house for producing animated visual media upon offers from committees (corporations). Hardly any creator driven projects, hardly any original content.

It’s a valid approach and business model. But disappointing.

Colossal titan was still CGI tho. And in general i felt like everytihg was more 3d compared to the previous seasons.
