General Leaks & Rumors Thread

I recommend watching the episode 1 reactions on YT. They're the cure I'm telling you.

Mattinator95 said:


From the comments it seems like if they didn't pick it up, the season would never happen

deg said:


lol thats impossible imo especially a cash cow like this anime

ImJMC said:
I think it's fair to say that if Mappa didn't pick this up it would of been another S1 situation where we'd wait for 4 or so years. Obviously this isn't a problem to manga readers, but for me personally, I'd probably stop caring about the series by then.

If that is one of the best episode then it's a good thing it got delayed.

BourBon-7so said:


New year type of delay I assume ?

deg said:
somewhat related to the thread

The secret to gaining followers fast is stalking Chinese forum sites for anime leaks and then posting it on Twitter without a link so people are forced to use your tweet to share the news.

lol where does the chinese fandom get their news then if they are the source?

hinako49 said:


TRUEEEE lolll, weibo & baidu are the biggest forum in china and we have group chats (like discord) where people will share & exchange infos there, these years there are more & more chinese animators working in japan and they will share news on their weibo account to promote the anime they work, some fans with keen eyes will follow the animators on weibo and ask them all kind of questions, thats how they got the infos lolll... literally how I follow Mr Cao's weibo and check his replies with fans to get the info 😁 but i don't use twitter so i don't care hehe

MironBiron said:

9 episodes is great imho:

chapters 91-100 = 6 episodes
(1.65 chapters per episode)

chapters 101-104 = 1.5 episodes
(2.6 chapters per episode)

chapters 105-106 = 1.5 episodes
(1.3 chapters per episode)

9 or 10 episodes for the first part would suck in every possible way though:

deg said:


damn you could be the next SpyTrue on twitter though lol

ah so chinese animators working in the anime industry leaks stuff first

hinako49 said:


nah i am happy with my status here lol and i don't care for other anime except AOT lmaoo

No they don't leak (not explicitly), some fans are too smart when they asked questions in tricky way and the animators may not notice they actually said and imply something loll

dompsterfire said:
dac said that anime onlys will die after the 2 week wait lol. Is it that big of a cliiffhanger?

dompsterfire said:
so is it time to make a weibo account?

Neil1998 said:


Oh buddy you have no idea!

MAQS said:


THAT moment is not happening on ep 4 but ep 5

What will happen at the end of ep 4 will be the start of the event that leads into THAT moment.

hinako49 said:


lmaoo manga readers are trying hard to protect the anime onlys from spoilers but knowing those episodes are important really itched them to be curious of it lol, i really hope none of the anime only will be spoiled for that 'moment', it's the peak of this arc, cant wait to see their reactions on it

berutoruto said:


I really hope mappa will handle this moment well, i am so excited for it but also worried my expectations may fail me...u have any more news from Cao or other animators that will join?

dompsterfire said:

hinako49 said:


don't know the exact number, but Cao says his episode will only air around Jan and he is currently doing some final edits, and SPY already leak the title for ep 3 & 4 , so i think they are at least ready until ep 4 for now

Neil1998 said:


Oh, I know IT is going to happen on episode 5. I was actually trying to say that the cliffhanger at the end of episode 4 followed by a week delay is going to kill us manga readers as we all know what's going to happen next.

dompsterfire said:
could it be the reason why there's a break is because of the final edits?

Neil1998 said:
So I reread chapter 93 and 94 and I have no idea how the hell they are going to cram all that into a single episode. These are two very dialogue heavy chapters and I feel like every line is important especially for 94. I wonder what all things are going to get cut? There are definitely moments early on in chapter 93 that I don't mind getting trimmed but I hope that they don't leave that much things out of chapter 94.

hinako49 said:
AOT manga FINAL vol.34 is scheduled to release in May or June 2021 😢

deg said:


damn i can finally see the ending so chapter 138 is the finale? we are currently at chapter 135

hinako49 said:


Yup most likely cause 1 volume usually contain 4 chapters...

Vol 33 will be released on Jan 2021 but we got these chapters in Nov 2020

So there's like a 2 months gap of getting the volume after the chapter released

assuming chapter 138 is the final, manga chapters will finish on March 2021, and the volume will be released in May/ June so yeah either ch 138 or 139 is the finale

deg said:


i see thanks for the info dude

hinako49 said:


no problem and i was just reading some comments in the chinese community, many said it is likely to end on March 2021 (ch 138).... because Eren's birthday is on March 30 lol and
