Attack on Titan
Do you think The Final Season will have a split cour (part 1- part 2) or a full cour (25-30 episodes straight)?
| Idk but I really really hope it's not a split cour! the wait is way too much for me even though I know everything that will happen as a manga reader. |
knizel said: My guess is it will be a split cour. I think (these are just my speculations) Kingdom S3 will be delayed to Spring 2021 so we will have 16-17 episodes for AoT S4 Part 1. Knigdom S3 will be broadcast Spring and Summer seasons. After that, in the Fall 2021, AoT S4 Part 2 will air. What do you guys think? Nope it would be full cour otherwies they would have probably announce it already if it was split cour.Their was no reason to hide the number of episodes unless its a split cour. |

I wasn't active with the seasonal anime during that time.What I said was that they would have announce it sooner if they are keeping it as split-cour.Keeping is wait like that doesn't make any sense.So my opinion would be it will be a full cour. |

| The most likely reason AOT was given to MAPPA is because the production committee wanted to finish the final season with one full cour, and they couldn't trust WIT to do so after their splitting of season 3 into two parts. If they already planned to do split cour they probably would've been advertising this season as part one of something, but instead they've insisted on calling this "the final season". Take what I say with a grain of salt of course, as I don't know what's actually going on behind the scenes of the very mysterious production of AOT, but I'm just saying it's more likely we're gonna get a single cour, MAPPA is after all a very capable studio. Let's just hope they do their absolute best to do the final season of the masterpiece that is AOT justice. |

Let's just hope they do their absolute best to do the final season of the masterpiece that is AOT justice. I'm pretty sure that's because season 3 was really supposed to air all at once. But once they ran into major production issues during the season they realized they would have to split it. So AOT S4 right now is probably planned to run it's full length with no breaks. Now if they start running into major production issues during the season, then they may make the decision to split it. |
| My guess at this point would be a full cour which will cover around 28-30 episodes and take us up until the end of the Spring 2021 season, though personally I'd prefer a split cour to allow the development team more time to work on final arc of the anime. |
| Full cour baby! ~30 in a go. Maybe even end the season at 132 and finish the story with a movie adapting the remaining chapter. Not a fan of the split cour idea. I'd prefer MAPPA to just do everything in one sitting. A lot of people think split cours are a miracle to give a series better animation or something like it but what they do is stop the production from falling apart even more. Doesn't mean that the animation that was being done (or is being done) is anything decent at all, whether its 2D or 3D. Don't get me wrong, it would be good if MAPPA could produce the series without the production fall apart, and if the split cour helps, go for it, but we are talking about MAPPA here. It will happen regardless of a split cour or not. |
JJ_jose said: Sometimes. But other times it's just to avoid all the productions in the studio from suffering due to the overlap of staff. tzarye14 said: sooooo a split cour only means that they're buckling under the weight and need a break rather than them using that time to continue animating? If that's the case then fuck it, go for it if you can, MAPPAFull cour baby! ~30 in a go. Maybe even end the season at 132 and finish the story with a movie adapting the remaining chapter.

It will happen regardless of a split cour or not. Re:Zero 2 was split probably because they had no time to finish all the 2nd cour episodes in time. AoT season 3 was split for the same reason but worse. This also allowed WIT to focus on other projects like Vinlad Saga without worring that much. Bookworm was split even though its production kept going normally after the first cour ended because the studio didn't want to pressure other shows. This resulted in the 2nd season being completed weeks before it started airing. You can't think only about one production. Staff always rotates between productions so it'd be cool if your studio didn't do as many project as it can grab and especially one after the other... *cough* *cough* |
UltimateRishi said: WIT was never onboard to do season 4 lmao. All this time the pre-production and production has been under MAPPA. Also, October has never been stated anywhere. Only "Fall 2020" was used. And most likely by NHK and Kodansha, without any agreement between them and MAPPA for an October release.Bababazooka69 said: Remember aot final season had its own panel back in march in anime expo this year but due to covid they had cancel it. I assume that if there was no pandemic occurring this year, it surely would've aired on october. Wasnt october the earliest release date WIT said they`d adapt the last season? Wouldnt that have changed since it was passed onto Mappa? |
LA_REEMIGRATION said: https://twitter.com/tzarye14/status/1311946336770625536?s=20 Kingdom S3 will be returning in Spring 2021. Season 4 in two parts I guess with 16-17 episodes for Part 1, and Part 2 will begin in Fall 2021 maybe ? What if Kingdom S3 changes timeslot? |

LA_REEMIGRATION said: Change the timeslot for NHK is very difficult because it's a National TV Channel. There is no other empty timeslot to put Kingdom. Ah I see. And the Final Season is still in the same timeslot as Kingdom? |

| i dont think there will be split cour cause there isnt many projects mappa is taking next yr(aot s4 is in december 7th so its the last month of the yr and im really sure they finished 8 ep or so by now) ....only thing that mappa will be (maybe) focusing next yr is yuri on ice movie(i think they almost halfway done with this movie) and the second half of jujutsu kaisen(but by that time they probably finished it ) so next yr onwards they probably gonna only focus on on aot s4 (mappa has over 200 staff so ye)sorry if my eng is bad |

| Wow this is an even match 50% for both with 101 both each damn,! It really can go either way. JJ_jose said: Apparently there's a high chance it's gonna be split now. Kingdom is airing in spring 2021 and has 2 cours, so there's gonna be no time slot for the 2nd part of the final season Just to play devil's advocate here, it is airing in spring but what month in spring? Snk is airing in fall but it is airing late fall, December. Are we assuming Kingdom will air in April just like many assume snk would air in October? Just putting that out there. |

It really can go either way. Just to play devil's advocate here, it is airing in spring but what month in spring? Snk is airing in fall but it is airing late fall December. Are we assuming it will air in April just like many assume snk would air in October? That's a possibility too. Huh? I just check the Calendar and final season could end at episode 26 on May 31 2021, and Kingdom would Start June 7th, 2021 it is still during the spring season as spring anime would still be airing, summer anime starts in July. Kingdom would be doing the same thing snk final season would be doing, not to mention NHK doesn't follow traditional anime time slot. |
JJ_jose said: keragamming said: that is assuming it has 26 episodes, the chances of it having more episodes are relatively high since reliable sources have said it's an odd number of episodes, such as 27-29. Nothing is confirmed yet, but the chances of it being split have increased now that kingdom is in the pictureHuh? I just check the Calendar and final season could end at episode 26 on May 31 2021, and Kingdom would Start June 7th, 2021 it is still during the spring season as spring anime would still be airing, summer anime starts in July. There is not much big difference between 26 episodes and 27 episodes, also 26 episodes isn't a norm for two cour series 24 or 25 episodes are what most 2 cour series gets. When the person said odd number they may not have met it literally but in the sense that it is not an episode count you will normally see, which can be apply to 26 episodes as well. Yeah I totally agree with on that Kingdom spring release has increase the chances of snk being siplit, but I think my point is also valid as well, the fact that it lines up so we'll to end before June and Kingdom starting June 7th just like snk starting December 7th, it almost seems too perfect to be a coincidence. Yep, I could be wrong but just keep this possibility at the back of your head, before leakers said anything when snk final season was announced for fall 2020 most if not everyone assume an October release, but instead we got a December release, the same is happening with Kingdom we see a spring release and assume it will be releasing in April, not to mention we know NHK doesn't follow the norm of other anime channel as it is not an anime channel to begin with so it's schedule is all over the place. It can go either way just like the vote is showing. |

Although if Kingdom aired in April, that would leave AOT part 1 to end in an awkward spot at around episode 17-18, right in the middle of an arc, then part 2 would have to consist of ~10 episodes. That is assuming AOT would air all the way until the start of Kingdom, idk if it's possible with the scheduling for it to end earlier, but then what would happen during that timeslot after AOT and before Kingdom? |

It can go either way just like the vote is showing. I think that's a bit harsh to say when 99% of anime do air in the first month of the new season. How many tv anime is airing after October has pass excluding snk? It's very rare. Also you are doing the same thing as the people you call idiots, since you are assuming Kingdom will air in April too. I agree there is nothing concrete until we get confirmation on when exactly Kingdom will air so for now it's all speculation. |

I agree there is nothing concrete until we get confirmation on when exactly Kingdom will air so for now it's all speculation. Fair enough I got that part wrong, but as I said before snk ending on 26 episode on May 31st is certainly possible, and if it's 27 episodes what is stopping it from airing the final episode on June 7th and airing Kingdom on June 14th? As I said before NHK isn't the norm here so there schedules are all over the place. |
| So basically december - probably april/may continuous airing for AoT. Which either means 22 episodes at most, or a split, but if this is split cour then kingdom s3 has to be too. |
| Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not... |
Bababazooka69 said: Lmao get worried no split cour https://twitter.com/TheCheckerAnime/status/1312315281751060480 I mean if MAPPA can get it all done in one go, why wouldn't they? I think someone mentioned here before that split cours are usually done to prevent a schedule from falling apart more so than it already is, meaning this is actually good news as MAPPA are confident they can complete it all without a break. |
