Attack on Titan
What format do you want the sequel SnK to be in?
| I was unsure of which forum (anime or manga) I should be posting this on, but since it has to do with the parts of the manga that hasn't been adapted yet, I think the it's more appropriate to discuss it here. Edit: Oops, accidentally posted it already while my post wasn't done yet. I've heard from the experiences of a lot of people that marathoning Attack on Titan after it ended was way more enjoyable for them that it would've been if they watched it weekly. I then began to realise just how true it is in the nature of the manga and the anime themselves. This got me to think that my actual preferred version of SnK's sequel is to be a 2 1/2 hr film like the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is my favourite anime film at the moment, and it's mainly because of its length and its pacing. I'll just add what I think some pros and cons if the Castle Utgard arc, for example, will be adapted into a movie. Pros: + Very high and consistent quality of animations + With the arcs happening within a day or two, having a movie format will give it a more understandable pacing than waiting weekly. + Non-repetitive soundtrack (Though it wasn't bad at all during the TV series, but it was only repeated a lot of time) + Eren vs. Armored Titan will be a historical fight scene to see in a movie format + The amount of dialogue is heavy in each chapter, so having a movie can make the dialogue more tolerable, rather than having a few episodes of pure exposition and arguing that turned some people off like in the first anime. +/- For better or for worse, less cliffhangers Cons: - A 6-month wait the DVD and Blu-Ray to release will be a B!7$# to wait for. - A chance that a lot of small details will be taken out of the adaptation. - No awesome OP or ED songs. - Waiting 2-3 years for the sequel of the movie - There isn't really a 'Good' ending point of the film, except for Chapter 45, which will still leave everyone hanging. - Some scenes might become less memorable than in a TV series because it could be overshadowed by other events in the movie. |

| How about a "none of the above" option? |
Xinception said: TV series. Specifically a reboot, which sticks like 95% closely to the manga, while adding them Mikasa x Eren scenes + any other good expansions to the plot as the rest of that 5%. ... Basically, Attack: Titanhood. :P Do you really want the first season to be adapted into a full 25-episode reboot, or did you want it to be adapted and cut down into 10-15 episodes like what Brotherhood did? Because honestly, those first few episodes were rushed like hell, especially for the anime-only viewers. |
| all changes to the manga adaptation was wished by Isayama himself i heard so all the complains about the anime not adapting the manga well are invalid a TV sequel is more appropriate since a movie like a 2 1/2 hour will just consist of like 5-6 tv episodes max |
| Probably just a tv sequel. Hopefully with a higher budget, I admit those stills bothered me a little in the first half. |

| One of the things that i hate about OVA and animated film is that they butchered a lot of important details that really helps with character development and it really takes away from the show when i can't relate to any of the characters at all. Especially with story like Snk, it would be hard to do it on OVA and film format unless it is an stand-alone show. It reminded me of a similar experience where people said the berserk film were pure shit compared to the original tv series because it butchered a lot of stuff and people didn't really care for it. But if they really have a good idea, i suppose why not? On the other hand, I've seen quite a few OVA series that was adapted from the manga in the past and frankly speaking, i was not at all impress with it at all. I was left with a bitter taste and angst in my mouth like what happened when an adaption was ruined (example: Code:Breaker wow that was a piece of shit). Perhaps the experience might have been more enjoyable if i didn't know the original sources at all. But what i do know OVA that will work well when the story is based on slice-of-life genre but if it is an ova of a fantasy story that has a plot and it's still ongoing. It's very hard to attain and i don't even think i have seen one that's actually worked. I'm going to make an assumption that if it is an OVA, it's going to come in various episodes since it is impossible to finish off the ending in just 25 minutes with everything resolved. If that's the case, wouldn't it be much better to make it a tv series why bother with 2-6 ova eps. At least that's what i'll do if i was the director. Imho, i would prefer a tv series because i like it better when there's the extra details in there. TV series>film>OVA |

Throttlee said: why not all of them? Don't you actually have some kind of preference? You want to see a movie, second season or OVA? Surely you have a preference. Or something you don't want as much. |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
BdaaN said: Only problem i had with the anime was the last two episodes. Didn't like how they built off the throwing away your humanity to defeat a monster to make the fire titan stuff make some sense. Manga version was less flashy but made sense and was very important for character development. personally I would simply prefer a tv sequel, and maybe something adapted into movie which for sure I would go o see it so the waiting wouldn't be such a problem or an OVA as an extra (of those spin-offs and prequels) |

Basically, Attack: Titanhood. :P Why? A reboot like that would be pointless if the original anime already followed the manga 95% of the time. |
