The CG in EP 9&10 in Dorohedoro was very good but I don`t think the quality of the CG depends on the episode director, for example, episode one director was not a CG specialist, but it was a very good CG, people who are in charge in the CG of the series are the CG director and the CG producer but having an episode director who knows a lot about it will give advantage in imagining some of the scenes better, but in terms of models, movement, I think it`s the same.

So, you really think the majority of people that will finally rate the season once it ends will off set the results we are getting now and place AOT as #1?

Assuming the rest of the season doesnt melts.

Lack of episode leaks is a shame

deg said:


they just finished the full production of the episode today so maybe tomorrow there will be leaks but im not counting on it though since its just a day before the airing date already

CePl17 said:

Source? Did someone state that they finished today? If so that's better than WIT working till the last minute on some episodes.

So, i see a lot of people talking about dorohedoro's 3DCG, so i want to ask, are the 3DCG fights in dorohedoro awesome?

dompsterfire said:
yes. without a doubt. you can't even tell they're cg at times. they're well directed too.

This episode is apparently "special" according to SpyTrue
Yeah, this is gonna be one of MAPPA's prioritized episodes huh.

defan752 said:


What does that mean? Have they prioritized other episodes so far?

Fax001s said:


I think this is the first

Zprotu said:


Yeah, this is the first one. Let's see what MAPPA is capable of.

MAQS said:


Its the first out of the 3 of the most demanding episodes.

PrasantGrG said:


Yes, my main assumption is it doesn't shit the bed.

I didn't say once it ends but rather till it airs and a short period after it ends (maybe a week). Completion boost will be huge considering duplicate accounts which didn't list as watching past the 3rd episode will not even be considered instead of being weighted. And I don't think there's ever been a better conclusion to an 'arc'.

A reference for how high the content is rated btw.

The manga has averaged over 9 in terms of new votes since the PATH chapters dropped, 9.15~ over the last 6 months and 9.4 since the anime dropped.

#1 is a foregone conclusion in my book unless the adaptation fails severely,and it could happen as soon as Episode 7. Whether it can hold a long term 9.3 what I'm curious about. The current score of 9.14/5 was it's rate of growth between episode 3/4.

DoW numbers are near impossible to replicate but since the scores given around episode 3/4 were already averaging around the current displayed score. It'll keep going up for a decent amount of time.

If Demon Slayer can go from 8.4s before episode 19 to 8.95 overall at its end due to completion boost and new member boost despite being considered overrated really quick, AoT given its hype maintains can easily break and maintain a 9.3

yaegerist-15 said:
3? I mean at least 5, what about the next 2 episodes, battle in the forest, war for paradise and paths. But okay if you mean action packed then it would be this, the next and the episodes that cover chapter 116-119

Zprotu said:


because people realized it had an average story lol

MAQS said:


AOT S3p2 reached 9.24 once, its .15 lower.

Its because casual fans digg in, those that find AOT really damn good and give it a 8 or 9 but not a 10, and they come en masse when the season ends.

Zprotu said:


you are correct, but keep in mind that the MAL glitch was also largely at fault for the huge drop in numbers

I_Am_Freeballing said:
When did it reach that? If it's the initial score after ep1 then it doesn't matter since even this season was 9.22 on the premiere date if I remember correctly because it was only rated by fanboys.

MAQS said:

After ep 5, it was for like 2 hours.

Blackkatsu001 said:
Guys, im trying to lower my expectations to not get disappointed, but I can'tlol im so damn excited.

PrasantGrG said:


It peaked at 9.23 after a day after the season ended, it didn't peak at episode 5 at all. It was however what increased the pace of the score increases. A week after ep 5 aired, the score hit like 9.13 according to the numbers I found on Waybackmachine.

The movement was basically

The week episode 4 aired 9.04-9.08
The week episode 5 aired 9.08-9.13
The week episode 6 aired 9.13-9.16

PrasantGrG said:


Dunno bout 9.22 but it hit 9.23 the day after finishing. It was 0.01 behind FMAB at that time

MAQS said:


I remember fma was 9.12 or something close to that, it was like that for several days, people were freaking out, it was something to do with a bug most likely.

Hey! Why do you people think Hayashi hasn't been as involved with SnK as his previous projects? IIRC, he storyboarded all 12 episodes of DOROHEDORO, but so far he has only co-storyboarded two episodes for SnK. More surprisingly, he hasn't directed a single episode for the adaptation yet, not even the premiere of this season. Since SnK was a project that wasn't really planned for by MAPPA, I have a suspicion that MAPPA had a project in the pipeline for which he had been chosen as the director (a la Park with GoH and JJK). The preproduction phase of that anime must be keeping him busy. As such, he must be left with less than the ideal amount of time for working on SnK. That's why a veteran like Jun Shishido has been called in as a Chief Unit Director to lessen Hayashi's workload.

Do we know if episode 6 will cover to the end of 102? If they’re adding the Willy convo which should have been in last episode, maybe they will end before the end of 102? I can see Eren grabbing the WHT shifter crystal as a good cliffhanger.

I saw some people saying Levi’s VA wasn’t listed in the next episode which is why I’m speculating. Not sure where they got that info or if it’s even true

keragamming said:


Yeah, I heard that as well, but Levi didn't say make any dialogue in 102.

aidree1 said:


See the last page. Unless, They have a different ending sequence for it with no dialogue.

Edylson said:


Cuz he was busy with Dorohedoro, i mean at some point he was taking care of Aot and Dorohedoro at the same time. I have a feeling that at the very least he will storyboard the paths chapters, we are not halfway thorough the season yet so there's still a lot of time for him to be involved more

yaegerist-15 said:
we won’t see the paths episodes this season, I think they will adapt till chapter 119
