New leaks? (Spoilers)

I get what you are all saying, but this is milking the cow at its finest. There's absolutely no need for a movie, specially if the movie is only gonna have the trashier parts of the ending. This feels completely unnecessary. Push the season further back but why split it yet again?

there might also be a possibility of an anime original ending....

That's possible and the original ending was pretty bad, but at this point I kinda just want to be done with it lol

Guts_Yeager said:
What's the problem with milking when we are getting movie animation I don't get it 🤷

Lone_wolf2021 said:
yeah I hope they do an original ending coz I didn't like the manga's ending too but if they are going to adapt it then maybe an well paced ending with more certain elaborated plot points and some alternative dialogues might make the ending watchable.

Because it's simply unnecessary. They first announced the fourth season as the last season and as it became obvious they would not finish it then, they announced it would have a second cour at a later point. So they once again announce the final season, only for now to be a movie? I get your point of "the more content, the better" but they could have just finished it in this season. They are essentially buying time to get more money. It's a matter of opinion, but I'd much rather they just finished it this season.

mikasareads said:

Right, the ending felt rushed AF, that was my biggest issue with it. If they resolve it, great. But if they're doing 8 chapters in a movie, it doesn't sound very likely. Well, guess we gotta wait and see.

MAQS said:


The naming for this final season is all wrong yes, it should have been season 4 from the start.


However they are in not milking the content, the remaining 23.5 ch could not possibly be adapted in 13 eps without cutting.

And on top of that there are chapters like 132 and of course 139 that are rushed and need more time/extension, especially ch 139 since it introduces so many points and goes past them in just 60 pages, it should have been 2 chapters instead of 1 at least.

The minimun was 16 eps for a proper no rushed/cutting adaption and 17-18 for a proper extension of the rushed chapters. and if they do a movie or 6 more eps after this part 2 then thats pretty on point.

mikasareads said:

But that's what I mean, they could have done another 16-ep cour and be done with it that way, even if it took longer for it to be released, which I'd be fine with. I wouldn't mind it taking another year if it was released at once. Being released in pieces is what bothers me.

Guts_Yeager said:
Bro you are just being selfish here,

First off this is still the final season cause the continuation is movie and what's the problem you have in Aot getting the proper treatment and animation due to movie budget, there's legit no way a fan would not want a movie unless he just wants to be done with the series

mikasareads said:

How is it selfish for me to want it to be released in ONE GO instead of in pieces? I hope it gets the treatment it deserves but what MAPPA has been doing with this release, continuously saying it will be the end to then add something else is misleading at the very least.

Guts_Yeager said:
Getting a movie after part 2 is best for adaptation, do you agree with this or not?

mikasareads said:
honestly? I think it greatly depends on what they actually do with the movie. If they simply follow the manga, no, it's not needed. If they expand on the poor pacing and some of the really rushed parts towards the end (esp. the last 4 chapters), then sure, it could be great. Just it being a movie doesn't mean it would give it the treatment it deserves. Idk, I hope I'm wrong but I don't really have high hopes here.

Guts_Yeager said:
Adapting it within this part literally closes all the possibilities for it, it's only possible in movie

mikasareads said:
I sincerely hope you're right.

samashi20 said:
Everyone here seems to be happy about the movie thing, but aren't y'all at all worried about the wait time or the gap we might get between the last airing episode and the movie? If it doesn't get an international release, we'll have to wait even longer. Sure, animation will probably be better, but I'm done waiting honestly.

samashi20 said:

I totally get what you're saying. I made the choice of waiting and I should take full responsibility for that. I'm just saying I have already waited for over 7 months now, I'm going to wait for a couple more, but I feel like stopping mid season and probably leave us on another cliffhanger is just going to piss off not just me, but many others.

MAQS said:


You can tell me its gonna take 10 more years for AOT anime to finish and as long as they are not rushing and expanding the rushed parts of the manga then fuck yeah take as long as it needs.

If chs 132 to 139 are a movie or a part 3 of 6 eps it doesnt matter as long as the story is properly adapted.

My biggest fear until today was giving 13 eps to 23.5 chapters, of which many are rushed.

I rather wait and have a properly adapted/improved story than one that had to be cut to meet the ep requirement of a season.

samashi20 said:

Trust me, I am just as worried as you are about the number of episodes, but how the fuck does a movie solve that? Unless it's a 3 hours long minimum, we're going to still face the same problem. Everyone is happy that the animation can be potentially better, no one is concerned about the pacing. Mind you 3 hours is basically the equivalent of 6 episodes minus the OP and the ED, or 7 at best. Which is why I'm saying if I'm going to end up with the same pacing anime, might as well just get it sooner.

EDIT: Never mind, I don't know why I thought that the second part would only be 6 episodes long. I was thinking about it in a completely wrong way. It's either a movie or 20 episodes or so. I'm pretty sure MAPPA won't just try to fit 23 chapters in just 16 episodes regardless of how fast the pacing of the first few episodes is.

Damn my biggest fear was the rest of the adaptation would get rushed, but now with ths, oh i feel so relieved

If they take 12 episodes to adapt 117-131, then I feel like we might run into the opposite problem. For example, I really think it would be more ideal if they adapted the 121 cliffhanger, 122, and the 123 cliffhanger in episode 4 instead. As good as 120-122 are, stretching them out into almost three episodes could be a bit of a drag if they don’t include some strong anime original content along with them. I wouldn’t be particularly keen on returning to season 1-style pacing.

MAQS said:


Remember there are chunks of ch 116 not adapted, and judging by how they extended and improved Warhammer titan death in the anime I trust whatever extension they do will be good, the days of the battle of Trost are over thankfully.

its in total 15.5 chapters, they can certainly make them into 12 eps like season 2 which was only 16 chs

and only 5 of them are action heavy most of the chapters are dialogue focused.

Darken-san said:
Instead of finishing the series, they're planning yet another season or movie?

Damn, they really want to milk out what's left from SnK, don't they.

mikasareads said:

But that's what I mean, they could have done another 16-ep cour and be done with it that way, even if it took longer for it to be released, which I'd be fine with. I wouldn't mind it taking another year if it was released at once. Being released in pieces is what bothers me.

neranyxx said:


They're not milking anything lol, they are still adapting AoT straight from the manga chapters. They choose movie because final arc is hard to animate within a limited time.

samashi20 said:

Well during the wait time, fans feel compelled to buy the manga which means they make more money by making people. Not to mention that if they end up making a movie and release it in theaters, it'll gross millions of dollars. Taking the movie route means more revenue usually.

neranyxx said:


But if it's a movie means a good animation and consistent drawing + good pacing then i wouldn't mind it, not to mention if they're expand a bit more of the story to fix rushed manga, that would be a dream come true.
