I didn't expect the quality to be this good, well done. (trailer and anime are most of the time different but we'll see ) A lot of great people are working on the anime. Hopefully this becomes a really popular show. (it is hella popular already xd)

PV looks really good, to be honest. Given how many projects they're working on though, it'd be difficult to imagine that we'll be seeing this constant quality throughout. But well, they pulled it off with JJK so you never know.

Good to see Ushio Kensuke-san on board for this!

The pv is great, although its pre animated, so the show wont look the same as this. Im not too worried tho, the staff is insane with yoshihara as action AD and ushio in the music. And im also happy they still havent announced the release date, makes me think they wont just release the show early and fuck the entire schedule (although the staff has already said the conditions aint great at all). Either way, this WILL look good.

You can the trailer was pre animated by how bright it is, no way they’re airing something that over saturated, still hyped tho and it will still be great

While yeah it is probably pre animated AOT did actually look exactly how it did in the trailer outside of the titans itself (the big issue). Ultimately I doubt all or most of the action sequences will look that good but I think we can expect JJK like quality on it. Even here in the pre animated PV they are using some obvious CG that's not being hidden. Still that is reassuring on it's own. They got a good staff and I don't think they have as bad of a situation with the publisher.

This is not the second coming of Jesus Christ. Stop wetting yourself. Watch the anime first. The trailer was PRE-animated by JJK staff, so not by the same people who will animate the anime.

P. S. Why is there a beach scene? It wasn't there in the Manga, why is it there? There are Denji, Power, and who? Kobeni? She would have no reason to be there,so who is it?

This trailer was hype af, and it looks like it isn't being censored. From what I've seen from the manga, this needs to be uncensored so I'm glad that's the direction it's going in. Can't wait for this one.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

kViN of sakugablog already said there are staff that are complaining already lol so im expecting the production schedule to be tight

Yeah I guess that's just the state of MAPPA shows these days. He did say in that tweet (I also do follow him on twitter) they might be prioritizing CSM too but kinda unfortunate that the situation couldn't be better. MAPPA obviously has a lot of talent and it could be even better used if things were spaced out better.

Though while the animators struggle they probably will deliver a good final product I am just happy it's not going to be full CG. It's kinda the same situation I was in with WIT you love their products but it's hard to sign off on their practices.

it should be fine either way, p sure aot trailer wasn't as hype as most thought it would be, it wasn't the exact same (I don't think so) but it was pretty much near enough each other.

would laugh if it ended up being bad tho lol.

To those saying this is another “generic battle shonen”… you’re off the mark.

A lot of people who read this thought how on earth was this published in Shonen Jump. The fact that it’s moving to Jump+ for part 2 tells you everything. Give it a try. You can just search for some CSM panels on images and see if that’s to your liking.

It's a pre-animated PV, but I'm not too worried. Given the staff's experience with 2D animation and lack of experience with 3DCG, the anime will most likely be mainly hand-drawn like the PV. Yoshihara as the action director is a big, big, big plus.
