Important! Clearing up confusion and mistranslation of the recent news about Part 3 being split into cours.
Attack on Titan
| A reliable leaker posted a few days ago that the season will be split and the first cour will start on March 4th. However, this leaker's English is not the best, so their ''cour'' doesn't mean what we know it does. This tweet has since been deleted as this leaker always does once the info is officially out. Today Mappa largely confirmed this, except one very important thing seems to be misinterpreted. AoT Part 3 (officially named Conclusion Arc) is not 2 cours as in X episodes each. It's just 2 long episodes TOTAL airing in an unconventional way. So basically Part 3 is two TV specials (read long episodes) with the first releasing on March 3rd. We're only getting ONE episode on March 3rd and nothing until they announce the date of the 2nd episode. English news sources keep reporting this as 2 parts suggesting multiple episodes, even if the Japanese original tweet clearly states there will only be two broadcasts. One on March 3rd and another yet undecided but still 2023. EDIT: Here are the tweets: https://twitter.com/anime_shingeki/status/1615273218671104001?t=rhXRDSFW0Z9Kgq-Ivjj7Lw&s=19 https://twitter.com/MAPPA_Info/status/1615273706049400832?t=ob5irwBBNmCdl8docbAJKQ&s=19 And here is an example of a Japanese person confirming this: https://twitter.com/jurkieriver/status/1615316537925341186?t=zRQ5Mk17ptpTsIxVvESsVw&s=19 |

They should definitely be at least an hour each.I_Am_Freeballing said: 2 episode ?

| Important part is, it's still split. |
| Remember what Master Oogway told us: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. |

| Very important thread. Linguistic nuances have proven to be as helpful as confusing when it came to leaks. This leak has also proved that many anime fans do not have any idea on what exactly is "a cour". They just blindly repeated "two cours, ayo" without even giving it a second thought. I can see Kanketsu-hen being aired in such unconventional way. In fact, it'd be surely an interesting experience, imitating movie vibes, but without being a movie itself. |
ashcashg said: The initial plan was to do just one even longer special. But as their statement says, the work expanded significantly so they had to split it into two specials instead.honestly they should’ve just made the last 9 chapters into a movie instead of this splitting and making us wait. i do appreciate them taking time into the animation though King_common said: We will see. It is unclear how long they will be but I assume both will be over an hour long.9 chapters crammed into 2 episodes they would both have to be movie length 😬 |

VeryGhoul said: I expect minor changes but not anything that would constitute a new ending.you think theyre gonna add more content or something? Its such a weird way to end aot (now dont get me wrong, i dont want an aoe but it sounds like they could actually add more things so im open to that possibility ) |
|
| I hope they won't rush this part and will keep the pacing right. |
| 2 movies length ep. I hope they release 2nd part in theater. |
| Is the word "movie" also a mistranslation? Is it just 2 episodes that'll air on the usual streaming services? Or is it going to be a theatrical release? |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |

| There will be no anime original apart from a few additions. The first episode is adapting 131-134 and the second episode is adapting 135-139. |
|
| Well, this is the best alternative to what we were expecting to be a normal broadcast of an 8 or 9 episodes season, I guess. I definitely like this more than the idea the badly translated leak seemed to suggest. At least we know the second episode is going to air this year. I'm fine with that. |
| The only True Ending is the Harem Ending. |
| This means at least the final episodes can be paired together on MAL without creating another entry for them. |
 |
| at this point we're left to see nhk schedule for march 3rd because we can't seem to agree on anything which is a very shingeki no kyojin-like thing |

pillows2 said: There are nuances only people who read Japanese can see. Their statement says they wanted to release ALL of Part 3 on March 3rd as a single special which was impossible due to the amount of work increasing. The tweet says there will be a ''special broadcast'' solely on March 3rd which is one episode only. There is no mistake here. The english translators messed up.I'm a bit confused on where the two eps info is coming from. The official tweets say 【TVアニメ「進撃の巨人」The Final Season完結編の放送に関するお知らせ】 このたび、TVアニメ「進撃の巨人」The Final Season 完結編が、前・後編の二部構成での 放送となりますことをご報告させて頂きます。 ご理解を賜れますよう宜しくお願い申し上げます。 https://twitter.com/anime_shingeki/status/1615273218671104001?t=rhXRDSFW0Z9Kgq-Ivjj7Lw which roughly means "Notice relating to broadcasting the TV anime 'Attack on Titan' The Final Season, Concluding Part. On this occasion, TV anime 'Attack on Titan' the Final Season Concluding Part will be aired in two parts, a before and after part (could also be prequel and sequel/conclusion)." I'm gonna skip the rest because it's polite PR speak and apologizing. More literally, "the broadcast has changed and will be structured as two parts, a before and an after." From what I can see, there is no explicit confirmation of a single episode vs multiple. The fact that the first part is airing at a weird time in the season (3/3) seems reasonable that it could be one episode, but AoT has had unorthodox episode counts before so maybe it will be 4-5 episodes throughout march concluding the remaining 9 chapters in time for the spring season to start. Depending on how far they get in part 1, the second part might finish the story, or might be a special for the extra chapter. The last chapters are quite long, which makes me think this will be more than two episodes, unless they are really long or content is skipped. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I've made an egregious misinterpretation. Something is definitely off though. |

AppiXx said: They won't. It's confirmed both episodes will air on TV and various streaming services. We just don't know when the 2nd one is airing.Abdf said: 2 movies length ep. I hope they release 2nd part in theater. I really hope they don't do this, as epic as theater releases are, some people will have to wait very long for the release, and some will not get it at all before it lands on CR or Funimation |

pillows2 said: Glad to see we're on the same page. As to the length of the episodes, I just posted another thread with my predictions: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2070807I_Am_Freeballing said: I read Japanese lol. The tweets have the same text so I thought they were the same, but they both append different images. The official AoT Anime account that I referenced makes no mention of it, but for some reason the MAPPA one does.There are nuances only people who read Japanese can see. Their statement says they wanted to release ALL of Part 3 on March 3rd as a single special which was impossible due to the amount of work increasing. The tweet says there will be a ''special broadcast'' solely on March 3rd which is one episode only. There is no mistake here. The english translators messed up. The relevant part is 弊社は当初、完結編を３月３日に全て放送することを目標に制作を続けてまいりました。 しかし制作を集めていく過程で、想定より大幅に作業量が膨れ上がってしまい、委員会各社に相談のもと前編、後編と二部構成にて公開することとなりました。 Roughly: "Our company, initially, proceeded working with the goal of releasing the concluding part on 3/3 in it's entirety. However, in the process of readying production, we realized the work load was a lot larger than initially thought. After consulting with all the committees and companies, the release to the public will be structured as 2 parts." Certainly looks like two episodes. I really hope this means they realized it was going to be more than two hours, meaning we'll get two hour+ episodes. But after how rocky the years-long release of the final season has been, I'm not holding out too much hope they'll be much longer than 30 mins. |
