It starts to look like that Season 2 only will adapt one arc (Clash of the Titans Arc). Of course, it would make more sense if they made 25 episodes after these 4 years, but I'm starting to wonder when seeing these facts:

1. Linked Horizon album already listed all its songs and only 1 will be for Attack on Titan.

2. Sawano (the composer) finished the OST in 5 days.

3. Eren's voice actor said recording was only finished for a few episodes, which seems likely if it's 12 episodes.

4. The Season 2 shots from the Bessatsu Shonen Magazine only features the Clash of the Titans arc:

It makes sense why Araki said he didn't expect it to take 4 years in his interview. It's possible they spent those 4 years only making Junior High, the OVAs, the compilation movies. Besides, Ao no Exorcist had a 5 years gap but only 12 episodes. That might be the case here too.

Look back at the first season, there was no mention of the female titan arc being animated, all the pv/promo was about the first arc. A lot of persons thought the first season would be 1 cour.

Sawano finish the ost for the first arc probably.

They simple haven't started animating the second arc yet. Relax it will be 2 cour.

Don't know about the other points, but it's fairly common for promotion of 2-cour to only feature stuff from the first cour. Even with series that are only 1 cour, usually what you see in PVs is stuff from the first episodes to avoid spoilers.

There would be a shitstorm if they only did 13 episodes. People have been waiting for 4 years, and SNK is a money machine, so it makes no sense.

Either way I will be happy with 13. 25? Even better. However I know that there will be outrage if it's 13 episodes.

Pretty much confirmed for 1 cour unless they announce more BD boxes.

http://shingeki.tv/season2/product/bd_1.php

I still expect it to be split cour like Owari no Seraph but yeah I pretty much saw this coming knowing the production starting pretty late and WIT being busy as fuck this year.

They have mahoutsuki yome in october and it is confirmed for 24 episodes, and also kabaneri season 2 in 2018.

So I hope they announce more bd boxes if not, we wont get a next cour until 2019.

Do you know if they had annouced all the BD boxes in the first season?

Only 12/13 episodes after 4 years would be very disappointing, especially because the wait literally becomes inexcusable when 1 cour of material could have been done 2 years ago.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

The info so far implies only one season until we find out more in the future.

One other clue we can pick from indirectly is check how many 2-cour shows there will be for Spring. It may not seem much but Spring tends to have more 2-cour shows than Winter (usually similar amount as Fall) but if there are a lot already, SnK might be one that isn't.

It is doubtful SnK will be a split cour. Very unlikely in fact as it would mean Wit Studio would have 3 shows for Fall, something that I can't picture them doing.

People need to go on social media and Bombarred them with question if it is 2 cour or 1 cour. Because 4 years for 12 episodes is bullshit, not to mention mahoutsuki is confirmed for 24 episodes, are they really going to priotize mahoutsuki over a international hit like snk?

Personally, I like to see Ancient Magus as 2-cour lol

But I agree that this show deserves 2-cour. We'll probably find out more info later next month or May.

Yea, I'm cool with it getting 2 cour too, I'm just looking at it on a business point of view.

But hopefully we get confirmation soon.

I can't remember. I'm not even sure what the pattern for when BDs are announced or how many at the same time.

Sometimes, they are announced before show airs, sometimes during as show airs, and sometimes even after the show is finished airing. It really varies depending on the show.

#1 - Where did you get all that information from? Considering the high quality/volume of the OST that Sawano gave us last season, I highly doubt it took him 5 days to record the entire Season 2 OST. Some evidence of where you got those facts would be appreciated.

#2 - It will be 24/25 episodes. Why? They made fans wait 4 years for this, and despite the Blue exorcist wait, SnK is simply an another level and they have more than enough source material to cover it.

I guess we could "blame" Mahoutsukai no Yome for stealing WIT's attention. IG Port (the owner of WIT Studio and Mag Garden, which publishes the Mahoutsukai no Yome manga) prioritized its ressources toward a project that would be more profitable for them. They are basically financing an anime adaptation of their own manga with their own studio. If it's a success they will get a lot of money since they are financing 60% of the production.

1. Where? All the places I checked (LH homepage, amazon, etc) showed that the album will have 11 tracks + bonus tracks, and the Opening (心臓を捧げよ!) is the only track that is revealed. The CD is called "Shigeki no Kiseki" - translated to Trails of the Attack, and Linked Horizon is Revo's collaboration label, so it's expected that all tracks are SnK/AoT related.
http://shingeki.linked-horizon.com/release/index.html

2-4. Not familiar enough to comment. Although Sawano is pretty talented enough to finish the whole thing in 5 days, considering the image/style of SnK soundtrack is pretty much set, and he had 4 years to work on it on and off.

Shingeki Chuu (High School) is animated by IG. I don't think the current staff of SnK have anything to do with the production of that.

Also for people asking about the BD, there were 9 volumes for Season 1. There are only 2 volumes announced for season 2 at the moment. It's too early to tell how many episodes each of those will contain. Wit's schedule shows that they will have a new series in Fall, so it's possible for them to have 2 cours. (It'll be dumb for them not to!)

EDIT: The 2 volumes costs 21,384yen, so I assume it's going to contain more than 2-3 episodes like each volume Season 1 had. Although the August 18 release date isn't too optimistic if it ends up holding the 2nd cour.

Production IG isn't that high in the production team, and Wit isn't in it, so you could have a point.

Still, Shingeki sell A LOT.. it's so strange, let's wait for another information.

In a way, we already have 3 animes with 2-cour confirmed. (Shingeki no Bahamut, Re:Creators and Sakurada Reset) and there's already more anime that i have a feeling they could get 2-cour or +.
Like Sakura Quest, the other 2 ''working'' animes from P.A. Works has been 2-cour
or
SukaSuka since the LN is finished and they could try to fully adapt the 5 volumes of it, they'd need more than 1-cour Lol nvm just being confirmed for 12 episodes
Hell, even Boku no Hero Academia has rumors of being 2-cour, so i wouldnt be surprised if its 13 episodes.


But would pretty fucking bullshit if this was only 13 episodes after all these years.

Volume one has a lot of extras (VR goggles to watch a special VR clip), a full-colour booklet and a ticket for the October event mentioned above.

There's no indication that it's only 1 cours, guys. We have absolutely no info to suggest that. Of course they're only going to promote stuff from the 1st part of the series anyway, especially with something as spoilery as SnK.

Also, the key visual


Whether or not they'll animate volume 12 remains to be seen, but if it is only 1-cours then I think the end of volume 12 would be a good place to stop it.

Also also they could just be using "season 2" to refer to the 1st cours of this season, because Japanese numberings can be weird sometimes.

Basically we shouldn't be making assumptions until someone's actually given the episode count. All the "evidence" of it being 1-cours is flaky, except for maybe WIT's broadcast schedule. But even then, it could be that different people are working on SnK as opposed to Mahoutsukai no Yome or whatever else.

It's not impossible that it's only 13 episodes, but there's hardly anything to actually suggest it is yet.

It's not impossible that it's only 13 episodes, but there's hardly anything to actually suggest it is yet --> Exactly what I'm thinking ^.^

Just some corrections, and analysis/speculation on the BD stuff:
The "ticket" is the privilege to buy the tickets for the October event early (先行優先購入券). And the "VR goggle" can be made out of cardboard (see Google Cardboard) to put your smart phone in. I do not think they'll put in a full blown electronic w/ the BD just for a short clip. There was also a 12-page full-colored booklet in volume 1 of season one, which cost 6000yen. These aren't worth the mark up in price (3~3.5x compared to a season 1 volume), so it's definite that they include more episodes each volume compared to season 1 (they had 2-3eps).

Then how many episode in each volume? Judging from the release date, volume 2 won't include 13~25, because season 2 Episode 21 wouldn't have aired on tv by then. (There are <20 weeks between April 1, the premiere to August 18, the release date of vol 2). So unless more volumes are announced, there will be roughly 6-7 episodes each volume (i suppose, which roughly rounds up to 3x the price of a 6000-7500 yen volume). It is possible for more volumes to be announced. I do not remember when the later volumes of season 1 were announced, but i do remember there being placeholder pages for a majority of the season.

TL,DR: Each BD volume should contain 6-7 episodes, so we will have 25 episodes if and only if volume 3 and 4 are announced. This does not suggest that we will have 1 cour this season.

Well so far for spring season we got 3 anime that we know will be 2cour and normaly we get around 6~8 anime that are 2cour so there are still good chances for SnK to be 2cour i would also think they waited until spring season instead of winter since its a more popular season with usualy best anime coming out.
So yeah anyway bit too soon to say anythin will need to wait until some official news but if they really do only 13episodes it will be a huge dissapointment since we waited so long and they got more then enough material to use....

Guys I need to clarify something. I don't think it is the same staff that is working on snk season 2 will also be working on mahoutsuki no yome. If you look at the producers for the ova mahoutsuki its Production I.G, flying DOG https://myanimelist.net/anime/32902/Mahoutsukai_no_Yome__Hoshi_Matsu_Hito, and the staff is different.

for snk first season it says Shingeki no Kyojin Team, and I remember in a interview Araki said that it took a while to get back everyone that was in the team from 2013, plus they have gotten new staff.

The point I'm making is that it doesn't seem like the staff that is working on shingeki no kyojin season 2, will be working on mahoutsuki no yome, like kabaneri for example which had most of the 1st season snk staff.

So I don't see why snk season 2 will not be two cour, and if you are saying production issue, they are in a way better position than where they were in season 1, but yet they still pull it off by making it 2 cour. So there is absolutely no reason to not make season 2, 2 cour.

So mahoutsuki has nothing to do with snk season 2 production.

I may not be remembering this entirely, but did they not say in one of the interviews (can't remember which one exactly) that Krista in particular will play a very major role in this season? if I recall correctly, the story only goes into detail about her background in the second arc. She does get some screentime along with the other side characters in the Clash of the titans arc but

The point I'm making is that it doesn't seem like the staff that is working on shingeki no kyojin season 2, will be working on mahoutsuki no yome, like kabaneri for example which had most of the 1st season snk staff.

So I don't see why snk season 2 will not be two cour, and if you are saying production issue, they are in a way better position than where they were in season 1, but yet they still pull it off by making it 2 cour. So there is absolutely no reason to not make season 2, 2 cour.

So mahoutsuki has nothing to do with snk season 2 production.
I heard they barley got one episode done, or something like that

it's an assumption based on the number of dvd/blu-ray volumes so far on the anime's official website: http://shingeki.tv/season2/product/bd_1.php

Guys I need to clarify something. I don't think it is the same staff that is working on snk season 2 will also be working on mahoutsuki no yome. If you look at the producers for the ova mahoutsuki its Production I.G, flying DOG https://myanimelist.net/anime/32902/Mahoutsukai_no_Yome__Hoshi_Matsu_Hito, and the staff is different.

The first episode was finish in December which is a lot sooner than the first episode of season 1, which I heard was finish in like February. Plus the second season has more staff than the first season.

@kpopluv1

Not confirmed, people are just basing it off the blu ray disc release, but I don't think the first season announced all their BDs as well, since many weren't expecting the first season to adapt the female titan arc, because there were no trailer showing that arc.

They never show the 2nd half of animes in PV, because they aren't finished yet....idk why other people are so confused about that

This is the "facts" that make me worried https://www.reddit.com/r/ShingekiNoKyojin/comments/6001ce/discussion_about_the_length_of_season_2/?sort=new

It starts to look like that Season 2 only will adapt one arc (Clash of the Titans Arc). Of course, it makes more sense if they would make it 25 episodes after these 4 years, but I'm starting to wonder when seeing these facts:

1. Linked Horizon album already listed all its songs and only 1 will be for Attack on Titan.

[snip]

It makes sense why Araki said he didn't expect it to take 4 years in his interview. It's possible they spent those 4 years making Junior High, the OVAs, the compilation movies. Besides, Ao no Exorcist had a 5 years gap but only 12 episodes. That could very well be the case here too.


1. Where? All the places I checked (LH homepage, amazon, etc) showed that the album will have 11 tracks + bonus tracks, and the Opening (心臓を捧げよ!) is the only track that is revealed. The CD is called "Shigeki no Kiseki" - translated to Trails of the Attack, and Linked Horizon is Revo's collaboration label, so it's expected that all tracks are SnK/AoT related.
http://shingeki.linked-horizon.com/release/index.html

2-4. Not familiar enough to comment. Although Sawano is pretty talented enough to finish the whole thing in 5 days, considering the image/style of SnK soundtrack is pretty much set, and he had 4 years to work on it on and off.

Shingeki Chuu (High School) is animated by IG. I don't think the current staff of SnK have anything to do with the production of that.

Also for people asking about the BD, there were 9 volumes for Season 1. There are only 2 volumes announced for season 2 at the moment. It's too early to tell how many episodes each of those will contain. Wit's schedule shows that they will have a new series in Fall, so it's possible for them to have 2 cours. (It'll be dumb for them not to!)

EDIT: The 2 volumes costs 21,384yen, so I assume it's going to contain more than 2-3 episodes like each volume Season 1 had. Although the August 18 release date isn't too optimistic if it ends up holding the 2nd cour.


Well, here is the reason why it is so expensive. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-03-25/attack-on-titan-season-2-blu-ray-dvds-to-include-vr-anime/.113946

So it probably wont have that many episodes as you were predicting. Would actually be dumb to release so many episodes on one blu ray disc.

People are reading too much into the "VR movie" thing. I read Japanese, and I'm analyzing the 1st hand source for all the info. The season 1 BDs had full blown 2 hours long Visual novels and stuff like that, and they never exceeded 7500 yen. You should read my other post here on why.

The amazon listing (cited in your ANN source) also states >> 進撃の巨人オリジナルデザイン組立式VRゴーグル, confirming my thoughts that it'll be a cardboard VR set. I don't think WIT will make a full blown movie for that.
The name of the "movie" (「進撃の巨人展360°体感シアター“哮"」) also coincides with the VR thing in the SnK Themed Art Exhibition in 2014/15, so they probably didn't even make an exclusive video as a bonus. Is this what costs more than 12500yen/122USD extra? No way!
