A little too much overreaction about animation

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.

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.

>i word things seems offensive to them

yeah you was offensive to me too don't forget that. but i think it's okay since you have your own reasons.

dude i was really angry at you at that time considering you persistently insist all the time that JC Staff only needs more time to make better quality animation with regards on One Punch Man season 2

and you seem to always deny that talent>time when push comes to shove in anime production

ye thats the point of sakuga its usually the money shot and its been known that most sakuga of attack on titan is done by Imai and Ebishu if i remember to spell his name right

JJ_jose said:
he's been following the main channels related to attack on titan final season, so he might be coming back. He's a freelancer, so he's not directly exclusive or tied with specific studios

deg said:


even if he is he is not the dedicated or main action animator/director anymore so all he can do now is just fewer sakuga scenes at most well the last season he only did fewer sakuga already so what more now?

JJ_jose said:
he's never done all action scenes, he was essentially there for the big demanding money shot scenes, more specifically with levi. He's never done more than a few in a season, so it's possibly the same here

deg said:


obviously but you are missing my point entirely just look at the sakugabooru of Arifumi Imai and how much sakuga he did for Attack on Titan like 73 of them right now here https://www.sakugabooru.com/post?tags=arifumi_imai
