kaiser17 said: anyone knows which manga chapter is this? 2 chapters, and we all predicted it because those two chapters were action packed. |
| Mappa really saved anime lol |
| The CGI is better than i have expected but it goes from tolerable to horrible in seconds. Its complete garbage compared to the original hand drawn animations. Looks more like the Nintendo switch game adaptation. I hope 3dmg movements wont be CGI atleast. And i have no hope for fast paced fight scenes. Will look trash. |

| Pretty much what i was expecting tbh, it was a good effort by mappa, although still not as good as wit despite what some people are saying, (the actual movement of the characters is certainly worse than even s3pt2) but it is certainly works for the episode. |
| This first episode was great. Gabi is showing off her skills, nice seeing Falco too. Pieck and Porco's titan looks good. Hey, it's raining titans. Reiner looking great and Ziecke beast titans look a bit weird with the CG. CG this episode was alright. Was that Jean at the end?. I think Mappa is doing a great job adapting this season. That ED has a lot of foreshadowing and my boi Falco is the focus too. I heard there will be only 26 episodes for this season which is not enough at all and it worries me a lot I just hope it's a spilt cour. |

MAQS said: Apart from that the rest of the quality was pretty good, the question now is....can MAPPA maintain this quality for all 16 ep? wait at least after episode 3 or episode 6 to find out if they can maintain AD consistency to be honest the AD consistency on this first episode is average to me the close up faces are drawn on model but for the rest i see some off model drawings but i like the composite its close to what the pre-animated PV has done |
| Mappa did an amazing job |
| check out odd taxi |
deg said: Considering how hard these designs are to draw, characters in a far or even mid shot will probably be impossible to draw. So i think it will also depend on who storyboards the certain episode and if they are brave enough to try more risky things because this episode for example was pretty mediocre when it came to direction as it had A LOT of very close of shots, probably so the art would be more consistent.MAQS said: Apart from that the rest of the quality was pretty good, the question now is....can MAPPA maintain this quality for all 16 ep? wait at least after episode 3 or episode 6 to find out if they can maintain AD consistency to be honest the AD consistency on this first episode is average to me the close up faces are drawn on model but for the rest i see some off model drawings but i like the composite its close to what the pre-animated PV has done |

DruMzTV said: Although i liked the CG i can agree with the rest. The compositing although not particulary bad is very agressive i guess? I get what they were going for considering it was a battlefield but it still was a little too much.yeah this was not really good. - The cgi wasnt incorporated in a good way, too noticeable and looked ugly. - a lot of blur especially with the gunshots and in many scenese in general. - weird filters that make it impossible to actually see something sometimes... - i think about the OP Visuals i dont need to talk about since thats a meme. - the cliffhanger revealed a major spoiler so i disliked that. Would´ve loved it to be hidden. - animation overall very very static if its not moving, the art looks clean so thats good at least. Music was goated Voice acting was great pacing was very good The CGI for the Jaw titan looked good in some scenes so thats the thumbs up i can give to the CGI overall... probably a 6/10 (my ratings are usually pretty generous) with the knowledge in mind that the first episode is often the most important episode, i am very afraid what the future has to offer and especially the later episodes. If the meltdown already starts here... im seeing black. Bad CG https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EokKkTnXMAEC5gy?format=jpg&name=large Filter https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/785145601348075540/785172709206261760/EokMJKaXEAASQPy.png Blur ( no, thats not the quality of the stream ) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/305417012203749377/785173435495481344/Screen_Shot_2020-12-07_at_1.58.03_AM.png Good CG (still very blurry overall) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/785145601348075540/785170821445845022/image1.png Single drawings can look very good https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/785145601348075540/785166566969835528/AOT4_270.png Close-up non-CG titan shots can also look really dope https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/785145601348075540/785166234974945290/unknown.png for the ones interested, the CG isnt even done by MAPPA. Its outsourced to Studio V-Sign. Lets see what the next episode has to offer. I expected to be Vsign considering the CG director. |
petergsme said: I don't know if I'll get hate from this but whatever, I myself enjoyed the episode but can't understand why people are rating it so highly as it isn't exactly a flawless episode I am not gonna criticize mappa as I'm sure they have done their best and if this could have been better, it would've been. Thing is, even if you study and give your all for a test but then fail the test, thats it, you failed it. You've done the best you could so even though you failed the test you tried your best and nobody can judge you on that. However that doesn't mean you deserve a 10/10 in the test because you tried the hardest, you simply don't have the knowledge to deserve that 10/10. And here this episode doesn't deserve those extremely high ratings it's getting. IMHO It's because us manga readers know what it's coming. Even if the animation isn't flawless, the plot and writing will be GOAT level, so unless the production meltdown halfway or the adaptation gets really sloppy, yeah, it's an easy 10. The adaptation in this chapter was great. |
| What saddened me the most was there were glimpses of big potential throughout the episode. I think they could have made something that everyone can accept and love if they had the proper conditions and time. Such a shame, I feel sorry for the staff. |
MAPPA96 said: FUUUCK FANDOM SNK Dude, you're wasting your time doing clones to spam 1s. It doesn't work anymore. Go outside, spend time with your family or something, get a life. |
| The animation doesn't have to be kimetsu no yaiba to rate it a 10/10 they were faithful to the manga and they did a brilliant job, yes we would have rather 2d Titans but what we got is not bad at all. Plus most of the people that are giving it a 10 read the manga we know the quality, so don't tell persons how to rate. If it stays faithful to the manga I'm giving it a 10/10, so persons can cry all they want. |
| Imagine being mad that others like it. This episode was 9/10 at the worst. I gave it a 10 and if it stays like this it will remain a 10. |

Yeah, you can see the incredible effort they put and they absolutely delivered, one of the most hype episodes of SNK imo however i agree the potential it had was so much bigger. Well, it is what it is. I'm not mad at all tough just sad for the staff and the horrible schedule |
 |
| It's finally here, the final season of Shingeki no Kyojin. I was afraid that Mappa wouldn't be able to make a good adaptation but I was wrong. The animation, including the cg, was GREAT. The soundtracks and sfx were awesome. I didn't like the op that much but I really liked the ed. I'm definetly looking forward to the next episode. |

I'm not mad at all tough just sad for the staff and the horrible schedule I didn't like the ep at all for the similar reasons that posted above, but it was obvious the issues were a result of time constraints and not the laziness of the staff. This season will be way controversial than the PV and will split the fandom in two unfortunately. OPM S2 and 7DS about the happen again if there will be decrease in the quality, like always do in anime production. |

petergsme said: I'm a manga reader aswell, and even with the good pacing and superb story, it doesn't serve as an excuse for the technical quality it has, because anime is about that, animation, and while everything else can be awesome, if animation isn't on the same level I think it still doesn't deserve a 10. If that were the case then lets bow to our animation god Demon Slayer. That's not it my dude. S3P2 animation is quite inconsistent and still is the #7 best rated of all time. |
| As much as I love AoT (My favorite manga and anime) this episode is definitely not a 10/10 and the MAL rating is inflated. |
chillbagels said: Hello, kind of new to these threads. just had a question as to why the episode looked kind of different from the trailer. Scenes looked different (some with the CG obviously, but not bad), for example the Falco opening scene and Jaw titan biting the train track. I originally thought that the first half of the trailer was what they had done already for the most part. Hello, in summary; production was/is a disaster and this is what we'll get from now on. PV showed the most we can except from the season, but I guess it was too much to reach to that quality consistently so they changed things after all. Also, it was pre-animated, which means everything was specifically made for the PV. This can be good or bad news for you depending on how you liked both the PV and the episode. |
