leakers said that marley arc will have 10 episodes in total but it's not confirmed yet so we have to wait a month more, i guess.

In my opinion it's gonna be 28 episodes....it has been hinted by leakers that the Marley arc will be 10 episodes, so I guess 18 episodes for the rest should be enough...(plus The Checker said that the number of episodes was "special" as in an unusual number)
Plus Kingdom airs on Spring, but it wasn't mentioned when, so my guess is that Kingdom will start airing on June 20th, that would make 28 weeks/episodes for AoT.
I think Kingdom was listed for 26 episodes too, so that should bring back the rotation as it should be, 2 episodes in the Spring, than 2 full-cours (24 episodes) from July to December

27 episodes is the best number we got since Gurren Lagann already have that kind of number of episodes too so there is a historical example of it

25 or 26 episodes because the Marley arc will probably run for 10 eps or so and 16 episodes is more than enough for the rest of it

The Marley arc has 16 chapters, so 1.6 chapters per episode if the 10 episodes rumor is true.

At that pacing, if the manga ends in 138, it would be around 30 episodes in total.

agree with you. 10 eps for Marley arc and 15-18 eps for endgame arc should be fine(depends on how many chapters are left).

I believe manga will end around 138, give or take. That gives us 48 chapters. 3 arcs with 16 chapters each: 1st arc 91-106, 2nd arc 107-122, 3rd and final arc 123-138. I believe we will have anywhere from 27 to 30 episodes, with 9-10 episodes adapting each arc. 9-10 episodes adapting 16 chapters is amazing pacing IMO.

Whenever I look at a thread concerning Attack On Titan's Final Season I always see you in the replies being overly negative/pessimistic about it. You are not wrong for being so, there is a clear lack of communication between the production and the public/fans, but seeing as you are a fan of the source material why not try to act at least slightly optimistic about it.

Production could have started in May 2020 when it comes to actually animating episodes. That's 7 months of animating before the premiere. I'm sure pre-production started much earlier than that, maybe even as soon as the transition from WIT happened. That would give us more than a year of pre-production, drastically improving the schedule now.

In the range 25-30. Anything less than that will result in a rushed adaptation.

The leakers that I follow already know the number of episodes this season will have but all they have disclosed so far is that the number is unorthodox and higher than the usual number for 2 cours (24-25) but lower than the dream amount (30). 26 isn't unorthodox per se, so I expect anywhere between 27-29. Whatever the case hopefully Mappa gives a lot of love to this.

We'll get a New PV in like 3-4 weeks, It Will Be Very hard to figure out something now. I do have a question:

https://mobile.twitter.com/Sunma47/status/1313546084677906433

https://mobile.twitter.com/Sunma47/status/1319301046976430082

Aren't these two tweets Of the sound director talking about the same event in diferent time periods? (If the translation is correct) the First one talks about how they are selecting the songs for the New season to present to hayashi, and the second about his answer to it. The sound director Said on the second one that he just got an answer to the songs he presented and It would be for the First 2 eps, i may be dumb, but wouldn't this mean they had the animation for the first 2 eps ready by October 6th? I find It really hard to not belive these tweets have no Connection, but If i'm wrong feel free to correct me

As I understand it (with auto translate) in the first tweet he says that Sawano and Yamamoto gave him the completed songs and he has begun choosing music for an unknown number of episodes. In the second tweet, I think he's saying that he received feedback on his song choices from Hayashi (the director) for episodes 1 and 2, saying that he has to rework his choices as they didn't match what Hayashi had in mind.

i agree, if he was choosing the songs for an unknown number of episodes and got feedback for eps 1 and 2 wouldn't this mean the animation was already done for those two?

We usually get a PV one month before the premiere so we might get one in 2 weeks. 6th Dec is also a Friday.

That’s because it’s exceptionally well edited and paced along with Yamamoto’s fantastic OST. The animated cuts itself are very limited though, like way way way below MAPPA’s usual standards type of limited.

Yeah, the animation is really limited. Like there are some really well animated scenes but they last like 0.5 seconds so we can't really gauge anything from them

probably 30-35 episodes, thats my guess.
i think if i remember correctly. 1 episodes=1.3 or 1.5 chapters

If split, I honestly want an 18 episode Part I adapting everything up till chapter 123. That's 32 chapters adapted at the 1.7 rate which is fine IMO. AND ending at chapter 122 would be the most hype cliffhanger ever. It would end in the first week of spring allowing Kingdom to air completely and the last AoT arc would then air in Fall 2021.

18 episodes then a 6 month break is much better than 10 episodes then a 8 month break.

Attack on Titan has so far adapted 89 chapters in around 59 episodes, which is roughly 1.5 chapters per episode. Given S1 was probably about 2 or 3 episodes too long and S3P1 was probably an episode or two too short, this pacing seems decent.

There's a lot of action in the final arc, so anything between 27-30 episodes would probably suffice. Whether MAPPA will deliver on that is another matter. However, they'll have enough time for 17-30 episodes depending on whether it ends in Winter 2021 or Spring 2021. I can see the manga ending by March-April next year at the latest. It probably has no more than 5-6 chapters left.

Personally, I'm hoping for a split cour (unlikely) and for Episode 17 to end on Chapter 122, which would be an epic cliff-hanger.

Depends on the manga, Attack on titan chapters are long, and dialogue heavy, so the adaptation would likely be slower than that, and most AoT seasons have been around 1.5 chapters per episode roughly

It also helps MAPPA that between all that action is a LOT of scenes that could be done more easily in limited animation
