The art and the animation looks awesome! But i still preferred S1 style done by wit studios tbh. But hey, at least it'll be not like OPM S2 so to those who are upset, just calm the fuck down.

if by edited you mean they added a bunch of sakuga scenes that will be reuse later on to the actual TV series then no its actually a PV like that Ironman Madhouse PV one

the PV even has its own director and storyboards posted on the first post here

>PV Director, Storyboard: Shuuhei Yabuta (Vinland Saga)


So realistically we have no idea how it'll look then? Ugh.


probably the character designs and digital coloring/effects (director of photography related) will still be the same or close to being the same as in that PV

i was mainly pointing out that the sakuga parts might not be use at all again just because of the nature of pre-animated or pre-made PV

sorry for the late reply on this, it got lost on my notifications earlier

Guys I am really scared.Its not that the artstyle is bad.It's just that Wit Studio has done such a incredible job on this show and after the last season I couldn't bear to see any other art style.While I like the animation in the key visual,the character arts are scaring me.Wit artsyle has a bit of manliness and boldness in it.Here the characters felt weaker.I am just praying we do not have to see another OP Man S2

It's a completely different staff for mappa working on that jump series that will air in fall, high school of the God is also completed since February.

Bruh who told you GOHS has been completed since February? That was Tower of God. Gohs production hasn't wrapped up but it's very close to wrapping up. Different staffs sure but Mappa doesn't have unlimited manpower. Yasuke, Jujutsu Kaisen and AoT Final season. One of these shows will get the shorter end of the stick. We'll just have to wait and see which one though.

Just to be clear, all, and I mean ALL of SnK’s trailer of older seasons were also pre-animated, it doesn’t mean the quality will be bad.

and do you know if the previous seasons pre-made PV has its own director and storyboards too like a little anime production on its own?

They usually do have their own director. But even then, most of what is in those trailers ends up being used.

Exactly, I read some comments here that they would not watch cuz the character designs are bad lol is that even a good reason to not see the final season of an anime you love?

Also looks like half the people like it and half the people don't, personally I'm the former.

It looks...so different. I feel like the character designs missed the mark a little? I dunno it's hard to say, it just looks so different so it might take a day or so for it to sink in a little. It's just not WIT...and I guess that's okay, though I definitely would've preferred it to be, as I'm sure everyone else does.

Though that trailer was amazingly edited together - I just hope that they pull through.


IMO they just resemble the characters design in the manga from the last few chapters. Not inherently better or worse, just different.

i do not know if there is even like at least a 3-4 second sakuga cut there that can be reuse or recycled on the actual TV show though i have to watch the trailer again since i remember most sakuga cuts have like an abrupt end

I think he isn’t implying there won’t be CGI, but that the CGI from older seasons was really lacking, but the one shown here is pretty decent.

Also, it’s the same director as Dorohedoro, so any CGI-related scenes are in good ahands.

As far as we know: Dorohedoro already finished and it seems basically most of the staff moved to AOT, GoH was finished back in february, so the staff is also free to work on AOT or any other MAPPA project (most likely JJK), Jujutsu Kaisen has completely different staff, so it shouldn't affect AOT, and finally, it seems like S4 has been delayed to 2021.

I love MAPPA but I really wonder if their style will suit SnK? Just looking at the preview, it looks great, but it lacks the crispness that WIT Studio has.
Oh well, I guess we'll see.


I actually really like how it looks, probably because the composition director is the same as Mob Psycho II, which probably has my favourite composition of any anime ever.

Fair enough that is what I have been hearing so it could be false, the point though is that the same team isn't working on both series. I see why persons are skeptic here with a new studio etc but I'm going to be optimistic and the trailer even though is pre animated give me hope that this has a chance being a good adaptation.

But I see some persons be like "oh no studio change Aot season is dead" without giving it a fear chance, like if you are a fan of the series you should hope for the best or atleast be optimistic, calling doomsday on your favorite anime before the first episode has even aired is not the way too do it, you can be worried but persons should also be hopeful.

We do have an idea, as every older SnK also had pre-animated PVs and the final product ended up looking pretty similar.

The fault is of the anime production committe,not of the any of the studios to change the way to handle anime productions.
The committe is the one with all the desicions to give all the work to different studios.
Like what happened with Madhouse and J.C Staff to take care of One Punch Man season 2.
The anime production did'nt care to give Madhouse a year to prepare with all the team that make the first season and give that to J.C staff.And alot of stuff of the money shot animation that was made in the first season of OPM was outsorced to other studios,no only Madhouse.And besides all that you call 'sakuga' animation,is only the tecnique of the money shot that gives the best animation by only a little while in the anime.
All that information and more i get for a spanish speaking channel call "Animacion Arteasanal" that talk's about animation and all the styles beyond Disney,anime and other stuff.I am only recommend to watch if somedy here know spanish.
Thank you.That's all. I give Mappa the final judgement when the anime premieres next year.

This is the right answer, we shouldn’t pre-judge a show before it airs.

Ah i see, I still have my doubts but MAPPA for the most part seems to be pretty consistent with their quality and the character designs seem more true to the manga. If MAPPA can manage to make GoH, S4 and Jujutsu all proper good shows I think/hope they can garner some newfound respect in the industry!

AoT is an ambitious project for any studio. It's understandable why people would be concerned or nervous since this time an unexperienced staff is handling the final season.

Tbf those preanimated PVs like the one in season 2 were storyboarded by Imai who was part of the team since s1. Yabuta was CG director in s1 but we don't know if he's involved in the new TV series. The PV they've shown is his vision not the new director's. For all we know, the actual TV anime could look drastically different like what happened in Dororo or just like the PV.

that was done by Arifumi Imai and a lot of sakuga of previous seasons are done by him too

but he is no longer listed as main action animator in this final season heck there is no main action animator info provided by this news too

and before someone says Imai is a freelancer so he can join later "yes he can" - Obama but it will only be few sakuga scenes at most since he is not the main action animator anymore or not listed as such here

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he is involved. He already worked with MAPPA on Inuyashiki, and now is working with WIT on the recently finished Vinland (and hopefully a future S2), and, based on the comments from WIT workers, they are working closely to deliver S4, so maybe Yabuta may be the CGI director, which he has been on some other projects.

MAPPA studios have great animators and directors.

The quality of the show will depend on how much the production comitte (Kodancha, Port IG) is willing to invest in Season 4 (budget, time)

I hope Kodancha doesn't rush their biggest gem on it's grand finale, that would be a stupid decision. Give MAPPA enough resources and they will deliver a good adaptation.

Haven't felt so hyped for an anime in a VERY long time but watching this PV fully awakened the latent fangirl in me. Shingeki no Kyojin, I love you <3

I still wish WIT were still in charge, though. The trailer looks amazing, but I admit I'm not very optimistic about the studio change. However, I'm grateful that one of my favorite series is going to be fully adapted.

Thank god Hiroyuki Sawano is still in charge of the music. Bomb OST incoming!

Ohh maaan... What a cast... Thank God they at least keep Sawano and voice staff, it could be worse if they doesnt (I consider that almost all the money went to pay for their labor). Anyway, I am glad that the series will finally over.
The anime industry is already going through hard times, and the current crisis due to the pandemic will finally finish it.

Very excited about this and it makes me actually want to rewatch the whole series again (since I wasn't fond of it when I watched it for the first time).

Hopefully Mappa doesn't pull out a Seven Deadly Sins Season 3 on this.

Also, wtf happened to Mikasa and Armin? I know they've gone through some shit but still...

Also Erens pretty damn hot just sayin...
But Armin's still best boi to me...

im sure that is intentional for him to say that lol since pre-production of anime is usually done 2 years ahead of the actual year of the anime release anyway
