I don’t really get why people are saying they’ve lost hope just cause the overall animation may not be exceptional because of staff change. While the show’s animation has always been above average, it was only season 1 where the animation actually carried a huge chunk of the show’s quality. Yes, season 2 and 3’s animation was never trash or even just Average. They just weren’t sakugafests like season 1 was. But they still provided some really good to downright amazing Sakuga such as Levi escaping the mp. But season 3 part 2 (the show’s most acclaimed season) honestly didn’t have through-the-roof animation aside from the Levi vs Beast Titan fight. In fact, I distinctly remember people complaining about the CG colossal titan and the underwhelming Eren vs. Reiner rematch fight. The animation overall of s3p2 was very good but it wasn’t its claim to fame. It was its story and directing that really put it over the top (and of course, GodWano’s soundtrack). I guess what I’m saying is people are complaining too much about animation when that’s not what made AoT go from a great show to a masterpiece. Yes, I’m aware that the director changed. But I trust the new one to execute (he directed Dorohedoro which I adored). Especially since he and the staff have been in touch with the previous director and staff members in regards to the final season. And with the excellent source material and the return of the previous script writer and Sawano to boot, it’d take some Seven Deadly Sins level of animation to ruin the upcoming season imo. And I don’t think Mappa’s gonna allow that. I’m not saying that season 4 is guaranteed to reach the expectations set when season 3 ended, but there’s too little reason to just downright say that season 4 is gonna be a dud just cause staff changed. |

Just to add: it’s unfair to compare this to OPM season 2 and Seven Deadly Sins. Mappa is definitely more competent than JC Staff and Studio Deen. And the situation are different. We knew OPM s2’s animation was questionable as soon as the trailer dropped. And while yeah, The new AoT preview is pre-made, it at least shows what the staff is capable of and that they actually care about the show enough to not give some PowerPoint presentation level of animation like OPM s2 trailer had. |

The only negativity I’ve seen is by some concern-trolls around here. Almost everyone around the internet is happy with the animation displayed by this trailer. |

Yeah I think you’re right. I was mainly talking about a lot of comments I’ve seen in MAL and Twitter. I’m glad there are more people hyped for it than not |

no matter what you say animation carries an anime popularity just look at other action shows like One Punch Man and Demon Slayer no Arifumi Imai as the main action animator is concerning too and before you say well he is a free lancer anyway so he can comeback yes he can but for only few sakuga cuts at most instead when he is the main ace animator the character designs being like from Banana Fish anime concerns people too but i personally like the director of photography staff here since im a sucker for those ufotable instragram kind of coloring effects |

I’m not saying the show doesn’t need great animation to be great. I just think it won’t be nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. |

Imo based on the PV it looks like a bit of a downgrade. Not a massive downgrade but still a downgrade. |

look bro even if it was handled by Bones instead of Mappa they will compare it with WIT and makes irresponsible comments |

Hmm, I don't know if I've 'lost hope' per say, but as a big fan of WIT Studio's works I am disappointed. There may have been a quality drop from S1 to S3 (I didn't really notice), but I'd still take WIT Studio's rendition over MAPPA's. Of course, AoT's strong points don't lie solely on animation, but you can't discredit the fact that AoT was pretty amazing because of it. I'll have to agree on this one. Banana Fish is a wonderfully adapted work by MAPPA and their style perfectly suited Banana Fish. I don't think it works well with AoT but I'm eager to be proved wrong. |

also im gonna wait for actual PV that have actual scenes from the actual TV show before going doomsday mode |

Ideally, I want no one else but Wit to work on it. But considering how disastrous major changes in staff can be and has been, I think AoT kinda got lucky to be given to a capable staff that has shown care and dedication to their work. |

This scheme seems to reoccur all the time. In a battle of optimism vs. pessimism, the optimistic ones tend to feel better about themselves for showing hope and support and suppressing negativity, but are usually the most vocal when hit by the harsh disappointing reality. Tower of God is a good example for this: When the episode count and studio of Tower of God got revealed, I immediately realized it won't be as great as I'd want it to be. Therefore I'm not too surprised or disappointed now that the adaptation did indeed turn out to be nothing spectacular. But the fanboys that criticized me for being pessimistic, implying that the studio is fine and how 13 episodes are enough, are now the ones clogging the internet with negativity, emphasizing how disappointed they are with how rushed and underwhelming the adaptation is. The odds for AoT's final season to turn out as good as the previous seasons are factually low, therefore it is wiser to not cling to the hope of success and have it come as a pleasant surprise (should it actually happen).

Your ToG example is a perfect analogy. I didn't even bother watching it because I was under the impression that it would be a flop. I'm not too positive about GOHS either. I love this way of thinking about it, thank you for putting it into words. I completely agree and makes me feel better about being pessimistic upon hearing the news. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. That's how I usually go about it. |

A lot of people are mixing up animation with art style difference, the animation looks smooth as fuck, the levi scene in the forest looks like what Imai would do, if its not him goddam it looks good. And for the person saying it looks like banana fist, all I'm going to say is that Mappa actually made this season look identical to the manga art style what you are witnessing is how the character should have looked in season 1, wit simple change the art style, which I personally didn't have a problem with. Not to mention, I don't think this is a spoiler since its pretty obvious but there is a time skip which is also why the character design look so different, you can't really compare it when the character designs have made a massive change because of the time skip which is probably why its the best time to change the studio if there was a time. @deg Honestly I get the impression as if you want attack on titan final season to be the next one punch man season 2 based off what I have seen. You have been very pessimistic about this, but I have watch a ton of reactions and seen how the key visual on anime reddit upvote of the key visual is at 17k it seems the majority of fans love what they are seeing. |

So what i think is that the atmosphere created by wit studio is what most people are used to specially the anime only people. It used to be clear. I just didn't like the way sky looked in the trailer. It might be stupid but i loved the way how wit defined the atmosphere using skies. Change in art is not an issues , the issue is the new art is not that eye poping as we have seen. There are less colors and vividness. These are the issues that can be fixed. Lets hope they do get Fixed. I just hope that teaser is not the peak quality animation we gonna get.That will be sad |

A lot of people who are not into anime also watch this show. They are not gonna get it. I mean just look at these. Everythings looks clean af. lighting is perfect. Minimal use of smoke and blur even at distant objects. this is what we have been watching for the past years. of course there were bad frames but there were better ones than these too. and dont forget we are comparing to the teaser of final season of the show which is meant for promoting the show show and should have some peak quality visuals we will be getting in the show and also how how much they have spoiled in it. watch these. some frames from teasers. all are at 1080p. These are in no way bad, but it is a significant downgrade from what we have seen. Criticism is understandable. |

Plus, you just said yourself the director is changed. Honestly I agree with you to some extent and would be perfectly fine with everything if the director and key members was the same but it is not the case here. We have no idea if the tone and atmosphere will be preserved and it seems it won't from the looks of PV. Also whole studio transition process at the last moment is a ton of work and I don't think they had enough time to handle it well. Good wishes from Araki and few key notes won't cut it. |

Obviously everything will look better when the production actually gets completed. This is not even the finished product. But go ahead and talk trash for now, as mappa will do an incredible job and shut everyone when the season starts airing. |

Banana Fish is a wonderfully adapted work by MAPPA and their style perfectly suited Banana Fish. I don't think it works well with AoT but I'm eager to be proved wrong. Yes, yes and yes.

Yes, yes and yes. yeah, i understand why lot of people are criticizing the teaser. they are like" this is shit.. im out..". i dont blame them. not every one is veteran in animation and art department neither am i. i just have a little experience. i mean i can tell why the teaser is not visually appealing as the previous seasons. A lot of people who are not into anime also watch this show. They are not gonna get it. I mean just look at these. Everythings looks clean af. lighting is perfect. Minimal use of smoke and blur even at distant objects. this is what we have been watching for the past years. of course there were bad frames but there were better ones than these too. and dont forget we are comparing to the teaser of final season of the show which is meant for promoting the show show and should have some peak quality visuals we will be getting in the show and also how how much they have spoiled in it. watch these. some frames from teasers. all are at 1080p. These are in no way bad, but it is a significant downgrade from what we have seen. Criticism is understandable. All of this is nothing but nitpicking. MAPPA has done an incredible job. Not a downgrade but a big upgrade by switching to awesome manga art style. Also it makes no sense to compare something that is in production to something that is a fully completed product. |

I think that "too" is redundant when used with "overreaction" |

The amount of people who think the season is gonna look better than the trailer is funny to me Nothing is funny here if someone uses their brain. Obviously everything will look better when the production actually gets completed. This is not even the finished product. But go ahead and talk trash for now, as mappa will do an incredible job and shut everyone when the season starts airing. I sincerely hope I get proven wrong but the chances of that hapening are slim |

You got to realize that this trailer may have been rushed because they had to make the announcement of the studio change and they most likely havent started production. I dont care too much about animation but i do hope that it looks the same as the trailer or even better |

Personally I dont have problem with animation but with plot shown in trailer, the only thing I saw was boring boom boom everywhere from guns/bombs, no typical sword killings with 3D gear (that are for me more typical in SnK than anything else) and only 1 close combat (titan vs titan) of course it was only trailer but trailer usually showing main type of stuff in anime. I don't know what will happen in plot next (didn't read source because I preffer anime) but if it will be mostly about "modern weapon war" with few titan vs titan fights then it will be bad season for me. |

Why did they even risk changing the studio? No doubt MAPPA would do a great job but its still a big step to take. I'm pretty sure there will be more than a few people who would downgrade the season just because of the change in animation. They should have just clung to WIT studio and never introduce the thought of introducing another. I was surely looking for the season 4 to get a solid 9+ rating. |

deg said: KitCa19 said: deg said: no matter what you say animation carries an anime popularity just look at other action shows like One Punch Man and Demon Slayer no Arifumi Imai as the main action animator is concerning too and before you say well he is a free lancer anyway so he can comeback yes he can but for only few sakuga cuts at most instead when he is the main ace animator the character designs being like from Banana Fish anime concerns people too but i personally like the director of photography staff here since im a sucker for those ufotable instragram kind of coloring effects Yeah I know. I’m not saying the show doesn’t need great animation to be great. I just think it won’t be nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. well even slight amount of animation quality drop is hated by fans proof of this for example is My Hero Academia last season about that Mirio vs Overhaul fight in slideshow scene and you said it yourself the first season of Attack on Titan got a lot of great animation so that carries it to be this popular too in the first place while succeeding seasons have drop in member numbers here on MAL alone but ye that is trend for most anime with sequels here on MAL anyway well MHA S4's schedule was better than OPM S2 so can't deny i'm saying that but bones shouldn't have make Carole and tuesday a two-cour anime because it was having some of MHA's animators on it which wasn't on MHA S4 until the second half. |

If we talked about the pre-animation of this trailer, animation was incredibly good. Funny how only manga readers were the only ones to recognize every character lol. I’ve seen some reactions, and people couldn’t recognize Reiner WTF. Maybe because he looks exactly how he looks in the manga. But if they keep the animation like this with good directing/pacing, this could be top 5 anime in MAL. |

KitCa19 said: Just to add: it’s unfair to compare this to OPM season 2 and Seven Deadly Sins. Mappa is definitely more competent than JC Staff and Studio Deen. And the situation are different. We knew OPM s2’s animation was questionable as soon as the trailer dropped. And while yeah, The new AoT preview is pre-made, it at least shows what the staff is capable of and that they actually care about the show enough to not give some PowerPoint presentation level of animation like OPM s2 trailer had. the pre-animated PV doesn't mean anything actually and it isn't showing much since it was done by someone that might won't be in the staff like what happened with dororo (the pre-animated PV's animators or staff were different than the tv anime's one) also i agree MAPPA having more talented people but they're spreading their talent thin like J.C.Staff did and their two-cour anime's quality isn't consistent (banana fish was the most consistent although it was stiff at times) so wait for the PV that present the final season and not a pre-animated PV by other director. |
