Sourire said: tirthasg said: They were lit by the moonlight in that scene. No I’m not being sarcastic.Are you being sarcastic or is this a genuine question? If so then I take a moment to check out the manga panels. Isayama-san didn't dark them out just because it's a night scene. This is ridiculous! You're supposed to see the faces of the characters to a certain degree or else it's no different from a silhouette. Also, we had numerous night scenes in the past seasons and the faces were clear as day. Utgard castle is one that came to my mind right now. Let's be real here. MAPPA failed to deliver. There is more light here than moonlight in a jungle. It takes place in the middle of a district and large lights focusing on the plaza, so... |

WillofFire700 said: Once again I don't understand how people think the WHT looked bad in this episode i didnt think WHT looks bad, its even better than AT imo. my only issue is the scouts being CGI. also the musics kinda lacking, though the warhammer ost was good |

Its just that jujutsu has a way better schedule and its director is probably one of the best when it comes to handling fights, while aot is more experienced in overall directing and storyboards.I can agree on the talking scenes . They were pretty good . Mappa shouldn't have handled so much anime in a single year . #MappaPrefersJJk I just wanted to say that they shouldn't have handled so much anime . Especially anime like AOT which requires a lot of time and experienced people . JJk getting such a superior adaptation despite airing at the same time as AOT just bugs me |

| First of all too much CGI but the fight still looked good. It's war time. The squad is here still missing a few people. Yay Floch is here excited for him. Mikasa looking good plus Levi badass as ever. Jean looks great too. Rip Willy Tyber, Udo, and Zofia. Warhammer titan looks alright. |

solele said: I don’t think the CGI will affect the viewing quality for the anime-onlys. Since they’ll be focusing on the story, they won’t notice the CGI. And as a manga reader, after watching episode 1 a second time, I got used to the CG. So it’s a pretty perfect scenario for the anime onlys. So when they rewatch, the episode will still be just as fine. I don't really agree with this I'm an anime only but the CGI still bothers me. Yea I love the story and all but the animation is a huge factor in enjoyement. No matter how good the story gets if the animation is poorly done then its going to affect the enjoyment aswell. But I still love the show what can I say I'm a fanboy |
BlakexEkalb said: It is just different opinions?Ya know, I always go into these episode discussions before the episode starts and see the people getting up and arms saying it’s so terrible and awful, yet every time I watch it it’s not. Quite hilarious. I guess a few people are disappointed at this, others are just fine though. Everyone is going to watch this to the end so genuine toxic fans will just seem really dumb lol. |
| Just remember that the whiners of this thread were doing the same last week, and the result was an episode with 3000 votes and a 90% of 5/5, the rating going from 9.07 to 9.15, an 9.9 in IMDb and breaking the record for most upvoted episode of all time in Reddit. So enjoy it. |
shingojira-chan said: Oh that i very much agree, mappa should not do as much stuff as they have been doing. The thing is tho, when a studio does to much at once, not all anime they are working on will get affect, just the ones with the worse schedule and less experienced teams, attack on titan, although being affected, it wasnt the one that got the biggest downgrade, it was actually taisou samurai which had some episodes with around 20 animation directors, which is terrible. And lets not forget that the animators are being very harmed by this, and because of that, i dont even mind the CG that much as it at least helps the people working on the show keep their health. (although it was still not good at all overall visually)VP2003boi said: Its not that mappa prefers jjk, thats not how it works.

So enjoy it. Same talking points, want people to read the manga for the "real attack on titan experience" and yet keep coming back every single episode and complaining about the same things. Honestly, if the manga is the best version of this material and you've said the same thing since episode 1, what makes you think it'll change? Perhaps it's best you drop the anime instead of torturing yourself every week. |

IamdevilBtw said: Erehhhh... I was defending mappa this whole time, but now it is time to shit on them.I though that they were saving money for most epic fight in a manga and I expected great cgi. But damn this is not even ep1 level lol... dont blame MAPPA my dude, blame the production. they give a shit schedule to MAPPA. |
xenosys said: Thats my chain of thought too. And even though I do prefer the manga overall, I still dont dislike what MAPPA is doing under ridiculous working conditions and scheduling due to the production committee. More time given would’ve definitely improved the anime quality overall but it’s nowhere near as bad as these people make it to be. And the storyline is 10/10 material.Sourire said: Yeah its the same group of users every week and usually with the same negative talking points Same talking points, want people to read the manga for the "real attack on titan experience" and yet keep coming back every single episode and complaining about the same things.

| Where are the CGI scouts everyone mentioned ? I didn't see it . Maybe its because I'm seeing it at a lower quality . The ODM scenes look much better than I expected . It was the best part about this episode . |

yuukongpark said: DomineLkira said: No they wouldn't be. The CG use is already better than 99% of anime. The anime is only hated so much by some people BECAUSE it is attack on titan. Lmao, ton of CG anime looks hundred times better than this shitfest, it's complete failure. I can point every scene that using bad CGI, oh wait, every cgi scene is bad anyway, so I don't have to point anything. Especially they fucked up with character model, I wonder why Levi gain weight in this episode? Show me the bad Levi model you are talking about. I was actually concerned because Levi looked awful in the trailer but he looks much better here. Plus show me the "good" CG in recent anime which isn't by ufotable or Studio Orange. |
| Still very disappointing episode, just MAPPA don't have a passion to make a good adaptation like WIT.Their overuse of 3DCGI is shit, choice of OST is same.Changing studios was a big mistake. |

| I don't know if this is considered a spoiler question, but: |
| according to all those complaints the cgi looks even worse than in berserk. |
 |
| I thought the titan fight in CG mostly looked great. And most of the ODM scenes looked quite good, especially the moments where the camera is also moving with the CG models. During those moments, it really hard to pick out if it's CG or not. However, scenes with a static camera really makes the CG ODM stand out in a bad way. Two scenes that came off as jarring to me was the scene after the eyecatch, where they attacked enemies on the roof with their ODM gear (same scene where Jean appeared). The other jarring scene would be at the end, where they were circling around the Jaw Titan. For scenes with a static camera, they should stick to 2D animation. CG's fine for everything else. As for the episode, it was pretty good. The stuff that'll happen in the next two episodes will interest me more, but this was a good follow up episode to the last one. It was nice to see the characters from Paradis Island again, especially with their new time-skip designs. |

| The CGI looks amazing in 1080p. I take back what I said earlier about it not looking as good as the first ep. |

For example when Mikasa landed on Eren's titan or when Jean landed on the rooftop Why would they use CG for humans ? Is it so hard to animate humans for MAPPA ? |

Reiner_undieable said: Why do you tune in every week? No reason to.Ask yourself these questions: Is this what you were excepting after watching s3p2? Is this what you were excepting after seeing the trailer? Do you realize that this is the best produced ep of the season? This is opm s2 quallity, I don't know how I will watch this with my sisters tommorow it is embarassing please help, it would be ao cringe seeing these scenes with someone else. |

| Not going to lie, this is the first episode where I felt disappointed after finish watching it. There was a lot of mix bags imo. The positive. - The Mikasa entrance scene was really good! with usage of the 3d gear. - The Warhammer titan actually doesn't look bad in cgi and his abilities look good! - Ost usage was decent. -Direction overall is good -Basically no censoring The bad. - The characters when using the 3d gear, switching from cg to 2d when the characters are close up is jarring, not all scenes but some where really jarring. - The beginning scene after the op was happening was way too fast for my liking, Eren body slamming into the crowd was just way too quick and had no weight into it, I was expecting even a slow mo in that scene, same for Udo scene they did a Usain bolt on that whole scene. -When Eren was punching the Warhammer titan when it was down, the clang, clang sound effect didn't sound right, was the Warhammer titan made out of metal? the titan was skinless so I am not sure why they used that sound effect and the worst part it was happening while Magath was talking so it took me out of that scene for a while. :/ This is the first episode where I am imaging if Wit was still animating this series and thinking how much better these scenes would have been, the 3d gear movements and the 2d titans were the main reason for attack on titan attractive animation and this is now mostly gone, except for the one or two scenes that looks good. This episode was the episode that will make or break the series, I am not sure if snk can get the #1 spot anymore, depending on what the majority thinks imo is on this episode the score may start to drop and that is disappointing.... I hope I am wrong. Maybe my opinion will change on a rewatch when its out in subs and in 1080p but for now this is my first impression. 3.5/5 I am hoping because anime only didn't read the manga they wont be in the same situation as me on how I was imaging certain scenes to be animated, I really hope they enjoy this weeks episode way more than I did and that those things I mention will not be much of a bother. @deg you were right, no sakuga for this season. I don't think we can even compare it to jjk as snk doesn't have any sakuga to compare it with, except for the quick scenes in episode 3. Cao wasn't lying when he said keep expectation low, he tried his best though I can see it and I appreciate his effort but that doesn't mean his work can't be criticize. |
