Crunchyroll is screwing AOT up and disrespecting MAPPA

LucisCael said:
Huh? We still don't know how the episodes will connect, and literally no one said that the last episode is gonna be 15 minutes, where did you get all of this?

You kmow sometimes when stuff gets made with unconventional runtimes, the director and editors also have alternative cuts in mind to comply with demands of different networks. Don't get so worked over literally nothing OP. Makes you look ridiculous.

so many reliable leakers out there, can't somebody leak me the lottery numbers pls?🤧🤧

(btw, it literally will be aired in 3 days, why are we getting worked up on leaks? even if the random cuts part is true, the story will be the same, can't we just appreciate what we got? i doubt they would cut it randomly though, it would most likely being cut on cliffhangers or something, not during half of a sad scene for istance or whatever. i can understand that it's annoying but there's nothing we can do about it, even if we rage here on MAL. also, i am pretty sure even if crunchyroll really does that, after supporting the series, you can watch it again in one episode anytime on the internet)

Go cry somewhere else, idc if crunchyroll is splitting it into 3 episodes. They released Burn the Witch the same way.

_Kitsuchi_ said:

I agree that cutting an 1 hour special is stupid and idk what's the point in that, but I am afraid we can't do much about it. And I honestly lost hope in CR when they let go of Bleach TYBW so🤷‍♀️ But we can still hope the leaks aren't reliable.

"according to a leaker"

Maybe hold the outrage until it's actually confirmed yeah?

just you know it's one of the party who made the decision to split in 3 for streaming platforms (mostly on the Japanese part) Crunchyroll don't decide these things. What can be assumed of these it's maybe one of the producers involved in Burn the witch (since it received the same treatment) is involved here and it's decision to allow licensing. So unless you have a copy of the contract for licensing with the terms and modality you can't spur they disrespect it since you have no knowledge of how the negotiations went.

Enri_eu said:
Whoever made this decision was not Hayashi, it was not the directors, writers and animator that actually made the episode. Hayashi said this is a mini movie, this is disrespectful regardless.

Otakupervert890 said:

it's not up to them that decision it's not how licensing work. unless they are part of the negotiations team it's a useless argument because it's not how it works. the only question here it's who negotiate with the licensing platform and what deal come out of it . here it's most likely Pony Canyon since it's a lot of music company who strike licensing deal.

What leaks?
Where's the source?
A certain episode having 15 minutes was a misunderstanding by certain people, since the image where it was mentioned 15:53 was just the time at which the message was sent. It meant nothing important.

Are aot fans just this dumb they can't think clearly? or is it just limited to this person only

Enri_eu said:
They made this as a one hour mini movie, any other way is disrespectufl to their artistic vision. End of story. The details are meaningless, the result is the same and it is bad. it is right to be upset.

Otakupervert890 said:

you don't understand how licensing work if it's what you think and yes I already know it's a 1-hour long special that don't mean that the licensing will go that way. it's childish thinking that because one the industry work with freelance in most sectors including animation and direction meaning those jobs have zero negotiation power on the table coming for the licensing and two because of the committee system it's very rare that it's the anime studio who negotiate deal as it's one of the other companies in the committee mandate to do it. the fact that it's 1 hour special only mean it's how it was deal with the broadcast station which is NHK here. NHK have nothing to do with the licensing platform it's a TV station.

You will see in 3 days, this thread will still be active and many users will agree with me.

SnK screwed itself up ever since it was revealed what was in the basement in the manga, Chrunchyroll didn't need to do shit. And MAPPA has been disrespecting themselves since like 2016.

Enri_eu said:
The director, Hayashi, said the new AOT was written and made as a mini movie, it was made this way by the artists. Yet according to reliable leakers, Crunchyroll and maybe other streaming services decided do disrespect that and now we will have 3 episodes, the episodes will get random cuts without flow. 𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙈𝙊𝘿𝙎 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝘼𝙇, 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙨. 𝙇𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞.

I know many people will say this isnt a big deal because it is easy to just go to the next, but this is not about it. This is about respecting the vision of the team. Now we will have an episode that ends in a random scene and the last episode will be 15 minutes, it was not made as episodes. This is not what the creators wanted. It will age horrible in the future when someone watches AOT for the first time and watch these badly put together episodes instead of a mini movie. And it is true, the leakers are 100% reliable, there is no doubt about that.

LucisCael said:
So the anime got screwed because it revealed the story? It would be very boring if it was Humans vs Titans for 4 seasons straight, with no plot whatsoever.

Enri_eu said:
It is literally true, you will see in 3 days lol

Catalano said:
you know you can watch it one after the other, right? right?

Spoopy69 said:

if you payed attention, the sound director accidentally leaked that s4 p3 was 7 episodes. so based on the fact that it was 1 hour long special everyone was confused. but what if this means the 3 episodes they are about to release are intended to be 3 seperate episodes from the start and they just release in the same timeslot??

Enri_eu said:
Thats not the point and the post explains it very well, nobody watches an episode that ends randomly without coesion.

Enri_eu said:
No they are not and this isn't true. The DIRECTOR Hayashi already explained that this should be watched and was made as a mini movie.
