Get hype!

Some people might be angry with this delay, but Kabaneri just ended and Arakai implied that they barely started working on season 2. Fall 2016 was too close and would have resulted in something really bad. With this delay they now have more time to make a great season 2!

Well so much for "2016" announcement date way back in 2014 and the winter 2017 rumors...

Oh well on the bright side they have "more" time to make it, so it should hopefully be top notch.

No doubt this will be 2 cour (probably exact same # of episodes again). Hope they begin more advertising for S2 this year.

Hopefully it's not shit since it's been in production hell™ for so long.

Also man, they missed the hype train. It's reached the end of the line and derailed and it ain't coming back now. Should've aired at the latest in winter 2016 imo.

I know part of the reason for the gap was waiting for enough material from the manga but they didn't need to wait four fucking years.

I was waiting for the announcement and I was afraid that season 2 will be delayed from 2016 to 2017.

Now I feel a little relieved since we will definitely have this season 2 but I can't help being angry with Wit Studio because I'm sure that Kabaneri is the main cause of the delay (since it has the same staff). Since the end of season 1 of Shingeki, we had the oav, the movies, then the announcement that season 2 will be coming in 2016. And then what ? They announced Kabaneri for spring 2016. And few days ago, they announced two recap movies ?

Seriously, after what I heard of Kabaneri, who wants two recap movies rather than Shingeki season 2 ? How many are we, waiting for season 2 of Shingeki instead of Kabaneri ?

Wit Studio is completely stupid. They had enough material to adapt the manga, and bring season 2 this year, but they prefered working on Kabaneri.

Well, I for one still have my hype at its maximum! Come on...four years of waiting is child's play when you've waited almost a decade for D.Gray Man. And THAT series did not even have any confirmation for any continuation and just left the fans bare.

I do hope that their 'experimentation' with Kabaneri will be used well for the production of SnK...I mean, despite the flaws of Kabaneri, you can clearly see Wit Studio's progression and throughout the series, I am just thinking to myself: "Damn I hope they apply every aspect of animation/art/sound to Shingeki no Kyojin's 2nd Season...if not even better!"

To all ya whining kids, feel free to hop off the hype train because your complaints won't change the thoughts of us excited fans.

Now that would be a good way to make up for the 4 years wait. 39 weeks of Snk goodness would make my year.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I'm excited! But honestly, I'm not sure two cours could cover all the way up to the current arc. I'd say 3 cours is gonna happen or else it'll be pretty damn rushed and I don't think they want to do that.

The first season adapted up to chapter 33 right? And the manga is now on 82...

Just judging from the visual, it seems like it's gonna adapt up to the current arc.

It seems most peoplhe forgot thst the clash of titan arc exist. Every time people talk about snk s2 they only tslk about the uprising arc as if itw the onl arc we will have in s2.

Well, I guess more time to read the manga slowly but surely until S2 actually comes out.

S2 needs to be better than S1 for the delay to be explainable by now.

I think they're just confusing the two because

It would be great if they could fit the current arc as well (a 3-cour adaption), but it's unlikely.

The current events in the manga are very worth animating so I'm excited : ). I think that content is enough to get people back on the train.

I was never the biggest Attack on Titan fan but no denying there is a lot of great moments coming up for the anime.

as for a manga reader i m can assure you that s2 would be a hell lot of a masterpiece and as for hype the sole reason you are reading this topic means that you still have that hype


and for soundtracks even if they don't replace the soundtracks s2 would still be awesome ( i will even prefer then to not to replace the soundtracks because those soundtracks were made by gods! )

Ah this is true. Thank you for reminding me. I tend to forget about that arc since it happened so fast and so much has happened since then. Honestly I always thought chapter 66 or 67 would be a great place to stop for the next 25 episodes. That cliff hanger would be killer.
