Yeah, seems almost certain that Asano won't be Chief Animation Director for Season 4. Though that doesn't mean he won't be a character designer.
It does seem that the Great Pretender will take a lot Wit regulars though as the project looks ambitious and really important to the studio. I don't blame them, it looks fantastic and I am really excited for it. I just hope AOT finds good substitutes.

My entire being wants to see it, the tears of so many who were so confident that AoT Final Season would be top rated lol.
Of course i would like to see it be adapted as good as possible because its really good, but it would be way more entertaining to see it be adapted by JC Slideshow.

My assumptions are, that another studio has already taken over and started working on it, as the release schedule is fall 2020 which is gonna creep around quicker than expected

I mean, it would be funny if JC Staff got it somehow, but then i remember that i'm an anime only and i also really dont want that since its been doing great personally.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Production I.G tho and it would be ok if its them.

Maybe it could end up being delayed. Season 2 took 4 years to come out. I wouldn’t mind waiting another year for the final season.

I really have to wonder why this season isn't for 2021. With how things look it would just make way more sense. The manga also looks like it could have a good 10 chapters left, if not more. Why does it have to be this year? Is it really that hard to give this series a comfortable amount of time for shit to get done? Is Isayama's new onsen really going to be that good once it opens up? Like, why 2020?

poor planning it looks like, trying to conclude a anime with a deadline when the manga isnt yet finished can have some really messy results that lead to rough development, look at how gintama turned out, they originally booked the year time slot for Gintama° with the promise that it would be for sure he end of it all only for that to keep getting pushed back literal years and they kept having to find new time slots with progressively worse and worse production values as they couldnt keep alot of the same staff longer than they were expected till the seasons just stopped alltogether and they are doing some movie of the remaining chapters cause they basically wound up stopping midway into an arc since the manga still hadnt finished.

Shingeki probably wont be that extreme, but they need months upon months of planning for the overall production and generally planning out how long it will go, even if they do a split cour, its gonna still be a very crunch heavy production that will likley result in some shoddy looking aspects even if WIT did it. Thats probably why they bounced.

What are you all on about? There is the fight at around chapter 100 and then levi's fight at 111 or so then the final arc fight but none of those are gonna be as costly as levi vs beast titan or levi vs kenny squad to animate
Production wise this will take the least money out of the 4 seasons

Animate a scene like Eren vs Warhammer Titan or Levi vs Beast Titan round 2, it will take more than 3 months, The first fight in Season 3 Part 2 of Levi, take 1 month to storyboard and 3 months to animate, just for this. There is a lot's of stuff after chapter 113, like the rumbling with colossal titans, and post-chapter 125.

I don't know what someone was talking about,,, looking at the manga, season 4 has the most difficult fight scenes.
It has Levi vs Beast Titan, which happened in the forest of giant trees, where Levi wasn’t cutting the beast titan but he cut all the branches of the trees and killed all the mindless titans there. That fight scene is more hard to draw as it has more objects, 3D movement and also,the thunder spears.

Then again, the fight between Eren and the warrior unit in Shiganshina and Eren vs Warhammer titan and Jaw titan was extremely hard to draw for Isayama, these scenes have too many lines,specially for Jaw titan.

Then again the rumbling, which is sure to be done through CG, animating 100s of colossal titan surely takes more efforts.

Surely it doesn’t have that much 3D maneuver actions but still season 4 will take More money than season 1, unless they fucked it.

I'm not worried, actually I want WIT to quit because they haven’t given full treat to AoT after season 1. It's a shame,
Production IG has earned enough money from AoT I hope they will do the job. Also, the casts from Season 1 alongside the animators working on AoT previous seasons should resume.

Money is not the problem, that's time. Production commitee of of attack on titan can finance the project easily. Time cannot be finance lmao.

How do you know? Before s3p1 no one would have thought the levi vs kenny squad chase would be so well animated. They could add so much to the fight and action sequences from the manga to the anime and make it look amazing, there is so much potential in these fights to make them the best we've seen instead of making them 1:1 with the manga (not that they weren't great in manga)

I wouldn't mind waiting, for even a year, but S4 should be done properly. After doing every Season so great every single time, messing up Last Season would be just tragic. I hope it's only Wit Studio who does it, any other studio have high chances of messing up, given the action scenes in the series

WIT can still do it but with different staff like animators so that is like the same as changing studios lol

What the fuck are you crying about, there is no confirmation of WIT dropping the Attack on Titan, in fact, it is not very likely. Just use your fucking mind. Firstly, they can very possibly delay Attack on Titan, and Great Pretender may not even be the main reason behind it. The manga is not over yet. Maybe they won't have all the material in time. Secondly, Great Pretender may not affect Attack on Titan's production at all. They are premiering on two different seasons. WIT has half of the year to make Great Pretender, and half of the year to make Attack on Titan. There is no reason to panic.

That's the thing, nothing is confirmed. Those are all possibilities and potentially not. And as we've seen in this industry, production committee's make a lot of bad decisions because money, which can affect any adaptation no matter how popular or unpopular. Optimism is the last thing most people feel when it's been proven time, and time again that anything can happen in these sorts of circumstances.

Guess the fans just have JC Staff PTSD with how they carrying over a bunch of anime at the same time just to screw everything up. Flashbacks of Toaru, DAL and One punch man sequels...

lol it takes at least 2 months to animate a good episode

source

Sometimes, a really ambitious show will allot 3 months or more of production to each episode, but that's not the norm for most anime. For an average TV series (though again this is by no means definitive) each team will start with two months or more to complete each episode, but after a few episodes schedule creep sets in, and start date will slip later and later. Some episodes will get seven weeks. Then six. There are times when whole episodes are produced in as little as four or five weeks. With digital animation, it's getting easier to cover up quick-and-shoddy animation with effects like lighting, mist, different coloring, and impressive-looking CG layers that are cleverly re-positioned and re-rendered from earlier episodes. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2018-03-16/.129066

thats why anime production usually takes around 2-3 years overall to complete

yeah and i'm not sad that wit won't work on it though in fact maybe that's better for the animators since the schedule was stressful for them and great pretender might having better schedule than AOT lol which i won't blame the animators here it's their choice after all
