Things that I noticed: Mappa's art style has some sort of low frame fluidity to it. It's not bad, but it definitely different from WIT's style. It almost makes the movements look like CGI. The pacing is also too fast imo, bit I don't think they can slow it down without losing the audience which just want the action.


It's called rotoscopy. Aku no Hana and kizumonogatari are bad and good examples of this animation method. I think that in snk it's pretty messy, the framerate is obviously a problem.

Finally watched it animation for the static dialogue scenes are much better than WIT. More movement and interesting direction which is good. The frame rate at times can look kinda weird but the dialogue here is so much more interesting to watch (S3 dialogue scenes use way more images of characters just talking). Makes up for some of the lost elements (CG on the Titans being iffy) elsewhere considering outside of Uprising these are some of the more dialogue heavy arcs in AOT. Backgrounds also look nice.

People are talking about pacing honestly I guess it's maybe because I haven't read the manga in awhile but I didn't notice anything if there were any cuts (Edit: and going through the manga again yeah it was adapted pretty faithfully lol I will also add they aren't keeping to a strict order so if that is what people are talking about it's likely to get added in later episodes. Manga jumped back a lot between flashbacks and the present day order is different here.). The things in the pacing thread are pretty stupid complaints. S3 Part 1 was way worse paced than this.

I am pretty confident MAPPA is going to nail that one very important exchange in this series. Honestly really just some of the CG Titan scenes is the actually only thing I think MAPPA has done worse than WIT everything else they are in my opinion exceeding them in. Problem is that was a notable big part of the series.


Regardless this probably will be the last time I am going to talk or care about WIT and just enjoy the adaption that is there. I think the WIT vs MAPPA has at least poisoned the discussion around this season. For me I wanted to see what anime onlys thought of the story more than anything versus constantly comparing to the manga or asking who was better.

Bruh that one kid who was kicking the fucking stone thing before Reiner came out to the port was so poorly animated lmao.

Otherwise very solid ep, am excited. The poor animation quality at times isn't a huge detractor for an anime only it would seem.

Also, can't wait to fucking go bonkers when Eren shows up.

Yeah we had a small discussion about it, we think it's cause of her being in titan form for too long. She said she was in titan form for 2 whole months, so she's having a bit of trouble walking normally.

bruh. the latest episode allowed for the encapsulation with the setting as there was little to no action at all. instead we are presented to a realistic fascist dictatorship. I want there to be a later development in the world building as I'm finding the etiquette characters such as Reiner quite interesting, such as his apparent PTSD and also his spilt personality disorder taking control over him at times.

It was amazing episode. What a show off if I should say, you know the the scene with weird camera movements? Or the scene where the movement of character seems off? That was not pure CG or pure hand drawn. And if I should say that was well execute scene, MAPPA manage to combine CG and hand drawing so fluently, the only japan studio that manage to do such thing are both kyoani and ufotable. Well both are veteran in this matter so it's wasn't worth enough to be a comparison but I think you got the point. From my point of view the reason it was felt weird in our eye I think it because there's a different in total frame used, more like MAPPA make a total of hand drawing frame catching up with CG frame, so when it felt weird it because hand drawing are lacking in total frame compared to CG frame, easy way to say like hand drawing were 40 fps but the CG was 60 fps. Take when zeke and colt walking for example, both of them were hand drawn but the background was CG background or when udon talk in port scene, Udon were a CG but everything else were hand drawn. But there is a good scene for this like when gabi talking at dinning table, when she tell the story she and her parents are CG but when her father touch her head she was completely hand drawing and everything else were CG. For note all of it nearly slip trough my eye :v so I think MAPPA do quite job in this episode.

Another good episode! Some scenes had shorter or rearranged dialogues, but nothing major was lost (mostly exposition and some humorous scenes were cut, RIP Pieck's quadrupedal walk). The episode was probably the best of the franchise in term of character animation (not that the bar was high lol).

I think it's due to the overuse of the titan form. When Eren used too much of his power he started bleeding from his nose. When the body is heavily injured, titan regeneration and titan powers seem to not work properly.

So, they really went and killed off Ymir. That's shitty. God, I liked that arc a lot, but it really just doesn't work with the new plot revelations. Ymir had no reason whatsoever to cooperate with Bert and Reiner. Like really, if they had taken Christa, what would've happened to her? She'd have eaten Eren and become a pawn of Marley. Stupid.


The reason why Ymir decided to go with Reiner and Bertholdt was because she realised that even within the walls there is a future and Historia would be okay. She didn't really have any other motives besides protecting Historia.

Well, contary to most comments, there were a lot of informations in 2nd episode.
We ve learnt,
Gabi and Reiner's relationship,
Reveals of Cart and Jaw titan,
What happened to Ymir,
Who was the guy who saved Reiner from getting eaten in the past, and his relationship with Galliard (Marcel, if i dont remember wrong),
Who is handing the war hammer titan (Tybur family)
And more little credits, i cannot write cause of spoiler alert.
And i feel like everything is going very fast to make the final season 16 episodes. Normally 2 manga chapters are equal to 1 anime episode. We have a lot of manga chapters but not episodes, just 16.
Anyway, it was a good episode, im not gonna talk about the animation already, im used to like WIT more but mappa is also okay. My curiosity about anime is superior to aesthetic concern.

Fantastic episode, a look in the life of Marley gang and more of a build up episode. Well, there's going to be a lot of build up but, the payoff will be fucking fantastic. I am really looking forward to the next episode, give it to me n o w.

Once again this episode was also outstanding. Need them to come out quicker, also that 2 week break is going to be awful.


if you saw the trailer you'd have known him,just like who is the guy at the end of ep1 and probably the war hammer guy too

PV spoiled a lot i guess

This episode was great. Pieck looks so hot in the anime.
Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is.

It’ because it’s not as if she’s actually injured physically. Think of it as a cognitive deficit...titan powers don’t heal mental processes.

Well, the episode was okay to say the least. It was more focused on the world building and character development and has no action whatsoever, which I do like but the episode was okay overall. Reiner's anecdote about Paradis was a little comedy though, although might not be funny to some but it's that comedy element that was rarely seen in this series so there's that.

Right, but if she hadn't gone with the Titan duo, none of that would be different, and she'd get to spend her last few years with the girl she loves, instead of dying to help some brainwashed fools.

If I had to guess, Ymir knew how the Eldians from Marley felt after her experience as the cult's goddess. She knew that Reiner and Bert are not actually bad people and she felt bad for eating Marcel since she was the only one who understands how they feel ("I am returning what I borrowed back then" is what she said). After all, Ymir died with no regrets, other than the fact that she couldn't marry Historia, which couldn't have been possible either way. I don't think Ymir hates Marley for what happened, she accepted that the world they live in is fucked.
I agree that Ymir's reasoning is weird, but she was for sure an interesting character, she didn't defend either side and she only did what she wanted to.

This episode was amazing! Pieck and Galliard got to be introduced, Zeke managed to give a couple of important talks, we got to see more of Gabi, Falco, Zofie and Udo. Reiner told about life on the island and, frankly, it did not even sound bad.

The soundtrack was just so good, it gave me shivers during the reunion scene. The animation was spot on as well.
