dont get your hopes up it'll 1000% air this fall the greedy pigs from CRAPPA and kodansha knows that casuals will eat anything that is thrown at them, wheter it is quality or not.

LMAO you are the ONLY person who doesn't like the way Armin is drawn. MAPPA literally wanks him in every frame he appears in especially when compared to Eren and Mikasa and you don't like the way he's drawn. He literally has the Gojo treatment because he's easier to draw compared to the rest of the characters, but it's still clear as day they use 10x more budget on him than on Eren for example, just look at this shit, the bias is so obvious




Armin looks way uglier in the manga while MAPPA made him a supermodel, Eren however...

el3mel said:


I don't care about others opinions. I liked Mikasa and Armin design in old seasons more than this one. It doesn't have to do with the adaptation because I didn't read the Manga so if it's the same as the Manga then my opinion applies to it too.

Stop bitching about it in public forums if you dont care about other's opinion

random person: AOT movie please

eslam ( a leaker like spytrue):Is it the fastest way to finish the series?

random:Nope..it will require 3 movies to finish all left in manga

eslam:Guess what, production committee + MAPPA want to finish it asap

dompsterfire said:

lol but most of them think it’s a movie

I_Am_Freeballing said:
No movies for AOT fans! They've been very naughty. Mappa is now going to use 3D CGI for all Mikasa and Levi scenes, even dialogue ones. Just to spite you.

yaegerist-15 said:
they aren't doing that to spit on us lol, they're doing this because most of the fans would eat it, even if its bad and that's not bad for them. I mean imagine being a cook at a restaurant who gives the costumers bad food and they thank you. so why improve if everyone is grateful for bad quality?

I_Am_Freeballing said:
Exactly, why would they? Why do better if it's rated above 9 everywhere? This is a business. No one at Mappa cares about your satisfaction. They care about the money. I would do the same. Money in my pockets > you being hurt about key frames missing.

yaegerist-15 said:
yeah and that's why they should be prepared for criticism (shitstorm) if they only think about money and not the quality. and dont some mappa bootlicker dare to say I should be grateful if Mappa gives a shit about the consumer, they dont deserve the praise for mediocrity. All this hype came from a good adaption from wit.

I_Am_Freeballing said:
But the hype is staying. It's not going anywhere. That's what matters. No one is saying you should be grateful to Mappa for anything. You have all the rights to complain and criticize. I'm saying at the end of the day the criticisms fall flat because they don't matter since this season is very successful anyway. And Part 2 will be even more so, even if we get even worse visuals than Part 1.

yaegerist-15 said:
that's true, and this wouldnt be the same if the quality would be this bad from season 2 on, now the hype stays thanks to the incredible story and not the mediocre adaptation. Thats my point. ofc the hype will stay but more people will complain. there is more action so the difference will be more clear in the quality

I_Am_Freeballing said:
You keep calling it mediocre adaptation. Apart from visuals, the adaptation is better than ever. And we're talking about action animation to be specific. Dialogue scenes are animated better than before too. This season is nowhere near as bad as some people here make it out to be. The faults it presumably has aren't enough to actually complain about IMO.

yaegerist-15 said:
I wouldnt say that, sure the direction for ep 9-13 was splendid but the animation there was sometimes that off that it hurts the character acting. But Im not an asshole, I think the adaption for ep 1-8 was very good, sure could've been better but the quality drop after ep 8 was to significant. I thought it would be redeemed with Levi vs zeke round 2 but yeah whatever.

I_Am_Freeballing said:
Apart from ep12, which I think is possibly the worst looking episode of AOT, I find the latter part of this season better animated than the first.

yaegerist-15 said:
really? I thought ep 9-10 had more character off models than ep 1-6 together, and dont forget the butchered Eren mirror scene lmao. The blur filter is so embarrassing trying to hide the bad drawing. But hey its only a guy looking into a mirror or wearing a jacket, like it isnt the same with so many other iconic moments in anime. Gojo wouldn't be that hyped if his iconic moments would be drawn that good

finally someone with a brain thank god this is what ive been saying for the past couple of the days now but the blindfamboys get mad at me lol.

Awesomeness_1307 said:
I really wanna believe that the production committee isn't stupid enough to shove all the chapters in just one movie. So, if there is indeed a movie, covering War for Paradis and the paths stuff would be perfect. Would also probably have a better schedule and be more attractive for freelancers. If done right, it could be the best AoT content to date. Then perhaps a CGFest part 2 for the rest lol. The scale of the finale is off the charts.

The difference is you're not paying for the food, you're sitting in the cold outside the restaurant begging for food with no money and what you've been given is out of courtesy.

I feel like what Eslam said about the sequel already being in production since October 2020 is true since we got that picture of Colt in anime and it looks identical to a manga panel in 119. (From the CGworld magazine btw, they were talking about the overlays and backgrounds)

Peeti said:
first they took too much time like 3 and a half years. Now they can't give a proper time like 2 years in-between. Weird production.

dompsterfire said:
season 2 needed more time because there wasn't enough material lol. Now that the manga is ending there really is no reason to put part 2 on hold.

Peeti said:
nope chapter 50 (which covers upto season 2) was released in 2013 (not too late after season 1 ended). 2015 would have been a good release date.

dompsterfire said:
that's still way too close though and when they're done with season 2, we'd have to wait a lot longer for the next one.

ig they planned for it so that they can air season 2,season 3 then part 2, and now season 4 every consecutive year.
