Someone here knows why they changed the studio?

Don't get me wrong, I like MAPPA (this is not like Deen with NnT). And I liked the PV. But Wit Studio was in so high level that anything else would feel like a downgrade. Also, MAPPA seems to be on fire this year with adaptations.

But personally I think this was the most hype snk trailer, only complaints is the amount of spoiler in it. Even the cgi collosal titan doesn't look as bad as the one in the season 3 part 2.

But as a fan I hope mappa does justice, but for now I'm more confident after seeing the trailer.

The trailer is really well-done and it makes me feel hyped af, unlike the previous trailers, tho there might be some problems here and there in this trailer but overall, the quality looks decent af, the CGI looks not that bad as well, compared to OPM s2's and NNT s3's trailers, this one is really decent.

I’m not very known to all of this but did the production commitee completely change as well?

Kodansha, Pony Canyon are certainly there still, Dentsu too probably. NHK might be in it this time too. Production I.G might be out now that neither them nor Wit are animating it.

honestly for me its all good, though the animation and character design looks different (that levi face tho, they made him looks chubby lol)

its a shame lots of staff from previous season isnt making a comeback, especially araki and amano since it changed the studio. thank god atleast sawano still here

better to delay this and make everything good, big hope for imai to make a come back as well

Could it be that Imai will still animate a couple of scenes despite not being credited?
There's no action animation director mentioned here. Maybe its a surprise?

When an anime staff is announced, the list of staff always includes the main ppl who will be present throughout the whole series. As the anime progresses, the studio will start adding new staff members to work in especific episodes and scenes (like in action scenes or scenes that need some sakuga stuff)...So, not exactly a surprise, it's just that the "action directors" are not part tof the main staff. If they were to include everyone who's going to be involved in this seaon, list could very well be over 100 ppl.

I'm still somewhat reluctant but the trailer was impressive and I assume it'll be delayed so am still hopeful for the final product. I feel like people in this thread are being very picky. I don't see any problem with Mikasa or Levi, trying to criticise a character over the size of their neck is ridiculous, at that point you're basically trying to find a way to dislike it.

Good news it's far from a OPM 2 situation. Bad news is that the change in characters design and direction will probably annoy me throughout the season. The terrible news is that, if I'm correct, Sawano is not doing the OST. This is will most likely be crucial if I'm gonna give another 10/10 for the final season.

EDIT: Apparently, Sawano will be doing the OST, but this time with another composer, Kohta Yamamoto. Although this brings hope in my heart, I'm still pretty disappointed. Specially after hearing the OST in the trailer. Don't get me wrong here, the music in the trailer is pretty good, but it's far from the masterpiece quality we're used with Sawano.

Exactly, From this arc there is like a diffrent story because most of main character change their mind and becoming diffrent person. I think its fit because this arc going more dark and serious story

Colossal titan was still CGI tho. And in general i felt like everytihg was more 3d compared to the previous seasons.

Seems more 2D to me. the titans in PV look sort of better than the ones before and i think this isnt even the final product.

I think MAPPA did great in Dorohedoro and Zankyou no Terror. Not a bad pick at all.

The preview doesn't look that bad although the character models look a bit like goblins.

The hate some of you have for this studio just doesn't add up with the shows they've done. Of course they aren't WIT, nor IG, and their artstyle is different (which might be annoying, yes), but they made a bunch of high quality shows already. Zankyou no Terror would still be one of the prettiest shows of the year if it came out now, Dororo had some cool action scenes, they somehow got Dorohedoro to work in animation, which is insane considering the Manga's artstyle. Make fun of Yuri on Ice all you want, but that show's animation problem was solely because they wanted too much, it had some gorgeous parts. And they adapted Manga well before this, so that's probably not an issue either.

Really, you just remember all the best cuts of 3 seasons and compare that to the worst cuts you remember MAPPA doing, which isn't fair it all. I don't want the studio to change either, but if it had to, MAPPA is still a good outcome. Only other studio I'd trust with this is Bones tbh.

Some of the characters changed a lot which can be seen in pre-timeskip shots but I guess it's not too bad since the designs changed with the time skip so a dramatic character design change is not as noticable.

Kinda weird that Sawano is only co-composing now.. but at least he is still on board.

Art style in general looks kind of generic now but its okay, could be way worse.

I just hope from the bottom of my heart that Arifumi Imai returns.

Animation in general can't really be judged after the trailer since it was pre-animated. All we can do is pray.

Please be good.

It doesn't matter how profitable or popular a show is, if the people behind it (studio wit) say they don't want to do it, nothing anyone can do except change studios. From bits and pieces I've picked up around the internet, the production if the first 3 seasons were very stressful for studio wit (they were a relatively small and new studio taking on a large project) and had a messy production generally. So it seems that they became "tired'of it and decided to drop, maybe in favor of original IPs(just my speculation, don't quote me on that lol)

If you want more info into some of the more specifics on the messy production, see sakugablog

I'd be lying if I said I'm not at least a little bit preoccupied with Mappa being the new studio. Sure, they're no Deen, but my experience with most of their past work is still not great, to put it simply.

The director did Kakegurui, which I didn't like at all, but he also did Dorohedoro, which was one of the best anime of last season (though, I will say the Manga is still miles better). So I'm not sure what to expect from him.

I hope they don't fuck up.


Was the production of Kakegurui bad? I mean a director can only do so much if the manga material is just bad in general

Well, while that trailer looks super great, sometimes a great trailer can be cheating. vinland saga trailer was top tier, but the animation went downhill somewhere in the Middle. The music and the script are still my main concerns. Im still positive, but I guess someone should always have some doubts.

I know what you are saying, but imagine if the trailer was bad and the character design sucks? Then no one would be looking forward to it, all I'm saying is that this is a good sign. I was worrying to get a disappointing trailer ever since I found out wit wont be animating it, so this is a good start for me.

Sigh...
I knew it was coming, I expected the worst, but it's still painful to actually have it confirmed.
MAPPA is not a bad studio per se, but we can't lie to ourselves; it's not WIT.
Even if you disregard the flair and unique style of WIT that we all got used to throughout the 3 previous seasons, the most glaring red flag is the Staff change. Especially the director.
This is unfortunately very common for amazing series. (GOT, can you hear me?)
Most of them always downgrade and worsen in their last installments...

Wasn't that big a fan of the way Wit and Koizuka handled last season, so it's a relief to see AoT S4 being done by different studio and director. I really liked Mappa's work on Dorohedoro, glad it's the same staff handling this one. I'm mostly worried about the episode count, since if it's a 2 cour then they're probably gonna skip a ton of stuff. Also, no Imai or Sawano is definitely be a big yikes.

Sawano is there (as a main composer, correct me if I am wrong) and Imai might still be there as well to work on specific scenes like he did in previous seasons. This isn’t the whole staff guys.

This could've been a masterpiece of the decade. I know the story will carry this so i won't be bad, but not way they'll bring the god tier quality of Wit :/ I would've gladly waited another year or two just to see it produced by Wit. Also changing the visuals midway (even though they're good) feels just weird, i don't know if i'll be able to get into it if they look so different.

I don't know how well the anime will be. But I definitely felt the chills watching the trailer.
I also had similar doubts about the studio so I checked the recently released trailer of Gods of Highschool by them and it also looked well animated. So I don't think animation will be a problem But they need to look out for how the plot is presented.

Edit: Here's the trailer of God of Highschool by MAPPA.

Everyone got quite a change in looks, but in a good way imo! Even Eren! Everyone looks so good (except Levi ; w ;)

It's Wit Studio's fault for adding lipstick to Mikasa in the first place lol. The new looks is closer to the manga art style imo.

It's not that big change if you think about it, she only cut her hair short.

Not gonna lie, I feel conflicted.

On the one hand, disappointed that WIT isn't doing this season. On the other hand, MAPPA have proven themselves in the past and what was shown was very impressive.

I'm glad it's still high quality, but there is a loss of consistency when it looks so different.

Hopefully Sawano is still around. Some say he is while others say he's not. Not sure which one it is.
