It appears the official website for Attack on Titan has confirmed that the Final Season is only slated to run for 16 episodes. Do you guys think that's enough time to cover everything so far in the manga?

So far we've gone through 7 chapters of source material, and are now 25% through the season. We have at least 40 or so more chapters to cover. Assuming we continue the pattern of 7 chapters per 4 episodes, we'd reach Episode 16 at around Chapter 119, out of at least 140. Unless the anime skips A LOT, I don't see how 16 episodes is enough to tell a complete story.

Perhaps a high-budget film would wrap up the final arc?

Thoughts?

Its also confirmed by the director he doesn't know the ending of the story and that there is still a long way to go, so yes, this 16 ep season is either a part 1 or there will be a movie or something in the future.

Oh and him and Isayama also said the anime will cover the manga to the end, so that pretty much proves this 16 eps wont reach the end.

The anime will probably cover up to chapter 119 or 122 . Then after that maybe part 2

The final season- 16 eps will cover from ch 91-122, they can't cover until final chapter because pacing is too slow to cover the whole manga in 16 eps+ the last chapter and last ep will release in the same month- impossible for MAPPA to know what to animate for last chapter. After final season I assume there will be a movie or two

based on confirmed eps titles for eps 5-8, on the assumption ch. 106 will be the start of eps 9, then it'll go like this:

106-107 = eps 9
108-109 = eps 10
110-111 = eps 11
112-113 = eps 12
114-115 = eps 13
116-117 = eps 14
118-119 = eps 15
120-122 = eps 16

if i'm wrong and ch. 106 turns out to be in eps 8 as well then the pacing would be better i think. (i'm not gonna complain about pacing anymore after i've done the math, it's expected and unavoidable regardless which studios or script writer or series composition who handle this Final Season with tight schedule.)

i personally think Part 1 should end on ch. 122, if it ends on ch. 119 then it will be a huge cliff-hanger though ch. 119 as the ending for P1 is still possible, whether MAPPA will end it on ch. 119 or ch, 122, they will still have to cut a good chunk of dialogues like usual.

if they have to make it as a movies then they'll either make it as 1 or 2 movies

with the assumption of 2 movies, i assume ch. 129 or 130 as the ending of the first movie, it will be underwhelming tbh if it ends there since nothing much happening there except for ch. 127 and 129-130 but...

if they'll proceed with one movie, then they'll have to make it maybe 2 hours and 48 minutes, that's equivalent as 8 eps of seasonal anime. (excluding OP and ED which takes roughly 3 mins of each eps, the math goes like this 21 mins * 8 eps = 2 hours and 48 mins)

I have to mention that ch. 122 - 135 don't have staggering amount of dialogues like previous chapters so maybe they won't have to cut a lot of dialogues if they decide to make it as 8 seasonal eps or 1 movie or 2 movies.

i personally want it as seasonal Part 2 though.


Hmmmm

As much as a Part 2 would be nice for it to come out faster, I would personally prefer very HQ to lower quality but come out faster. Although from the looks of it, I have doubts they'd make 2 movies or even 1 movie that's 2 hours and 48 minutes long (from what I've seen only TWO anime movies have even gone past 2 hours and 40 minutes, one being a 1983 movie and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya). But hey, I'm all for waiting for an almost 3 hour long Attack on Titan movie.

For that assumption to be true, episode 16 should be 30-40 minute
They can't cover that 3 chapter in 1 episode

Yes, since they announced S3 at the end of S2 and S4 at the end of S3, I bet it will be the same for whatever comes next.

Be it a movie, Part 2, OVAs, a puppet show, whatever.

it would be very disappointing if the war for paradise arc gets the same treatment like the uprising arc :(
Attack on Titan ended with chapter 123 and 130/131 is the epilogue

Doubt it. Wit never really rushed it and this is the same director. Plus, other than episode 3 the pacing its going at now doesn't really seemed rushed. Unless they adapt like 5 chapters in to 1 episode which I doubt. The anime is probably gonna have fine pacing.

Also just wondering if you can please show me the rumors so I can know also. Have a good day!
I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol.

It’s been teased by Netflix Japan that there will be 2 parts. I personally think that they rushed the release of AOT season 4 and think they should’ve waited till the series had ended or was about to end. It also doesn’t help that the director doesn’t know how it’s gonna end.

It's possible though, they are working with Isayama and it was this way for FMAB, the anime finished before manga. So it's not unrealistic.

16 episodes are a lot of time if the studio uses the 20 - 25 minutes of each episode the most effective way. I mean look at the promised neverland, in 12 episodes they reached chapter 37 of the manga, basically 8 -10 chapters for 4 episodes. If Mappa studio will do it right there is a big chance that the anime could cover all there is to be covered. But there is a high chance that we will see another part for season 4 like we saw in season 3. I personally think that this will make a lot of noise in the aot fandom cause people will go crazy till the second part will come out, on the other half, if we will get a second part for season 4 we will see longer fight scenes and more detailed conversations and scenes because there will be more episodes to give us the information we need and end aot in a way that we will never forget, without removing pannels from the manga or making scenes shorter because there are not enough episodes. I trust Mappa on this but we will have to wait and find out together.
