    Even though that is the general consensus by PP fans, I don't agree at all. I rated S2 the same as I rated S1, while rating the movie lower.

     

    Whether he wrote S2 or not, the movie follows the events from it, so you'd be missing out on at least some small details. Just because you disliked it, doesn't mean everyone else will, so it's worth them giving it a shot. To me it felt very similar to S1 and it was great having more in that universe to see. Most complaints I've seen about it have to do with a certain character not being around and another character being introduced that most people hated; even though they wrote that character in a way that I believe was meant to be hated but eventually somewhat redeems themselves.

     

    In any case, there is no indication that S3 has any involvement from Urobuchi either as far as I'm aware. So if that is your sole reason for disliking S2, you may as well be in for some major disappointment.

    To be honest these are not the main reasons why i dislike season 2.  I disliked it because they recycled the basics of plot from season 1, but with worse characters, worse pacing and too much focus on over the top blood and gore. The writing was horrid, some fans argue that it breaks established things from S1 and the plot is pointless imo, not even the movie really makes any connections to it, and it brings absolutely nothing new to the table. So the entire season is just filler hence why i don't recommend it to anyone.

    I think it's quite clear to me in hindsight why it turned out to be so underwhelming to many people. It's animated by a different studio and written and directed by a different team as Urobuchi and his team completely focused on making the movie. S2 was basically just there to gain some hype for said movie so that's why i said it's just filler. 

    Season 3 will be directed by the guy who directed season 1 and written by the guy who wrote the first season with Urobuchi so i think it's in good hands.

    The manga has a lot of mind games and internal thoughts, kind of like Death Note. The anime completely skips over this aspect of the story and has everyone talk about their plans out loud, or they simply skip over it entirely and hope that anime-only folks will catch on.

     

     

    This part bugged me to to end. They spent a good amount of time establishing that the 3 main characters are super smart and then they pulled this nonsense. Seriously what was the director thinking? The show is still very intriguing tho and i'm enjoying it so far. hopefully they don't pull a tokyo ghoul and butcher the entire thing in the future.

    Avoiding spoilers is easy as long as you just don't play dumb by going into forums threads that would obviously be discussing it ahead of what you've seen (and stay away from dumb places like reddit/4chan). Or if you've got assholes for friends that love to ruin things.

     

    I haven't been spoiled on any show in years aside from a single slip up about DxD by a Discord user a few weeks back.

     

    Hell I actively had to skim through AoT2 episodes weekly to gather frame numbers for encoding it several episodes ahead of what I was watching and still managed to not spoil myself.

     

    You pretty much have to be asking to be spoiled to be spoiled.

    That's true but i have no luck when it comes to avoiding spoilers for popular shows like Aot and GoT. Last season i avoided all the forums, i avoided reddit and i left all the anime groups on facebook but i got spoiled because loads of non-anime facebook pages decided to post AoT screenshots for some reason. Anyway i just checked the subbed version and the voice acting is pretty damn good (eren's VA in particular blows the english VA out of the water) so switching to it isn't a big problem for me anymore.

    They will. Usual gap between sub and dub is 2-4 weeks. I believe for season 2 last year it was three weeks. Maybe two.

    So, either watch it sub-only, both sub and dub, or watch dub-only and try to avoid spoilers at all costs. :P

     

    Alternatively, you could start reading the manga. I was spoiled the contents of S2 as well, so I decided to read the manga and experience everything fresh.

    Luckily for me, I barely remember anything of the arc(s) season 3 is going to adapt, so any spoiler is basically just a reminder for me. :D

    I guess I have to watch it subbed then. A 2 weeks gap is too much for a popular show like AoT because avoiding spoilers isn't easy. 

     

    I tried the reading the Manga from the first chapter but I stopped because I prefer the anime version tbh. The art is better in the anime and the soundtrack is 🔥 🔥

    AoT S3 has already been confirmed to be on Funi's summer simuldub list, so I'm definitely gonna watch it weekly as the simuldub airs.

    So they won't delay airing the episodes like the previous season? I stopped following the dub last season after the 6th episode because I couldn't avoid all the spoilers from sub watchers. I'm gonna be really upset if they don't release the dub shortly after the sub version airs. 

  6. GODDAMMIT. This is going to take a while to sink in....

    Extremely surprised this show only got three seasons, was so well done. 

    I'm not tbh.The show is great but it was cancelled because it was expensive and didn't draw a lot of viewers. Basically the same reason every cancelled show gets cancelled. It was a very niche show, and everybody knew this was coming since Season 1. It's been a constant struggle to keep the viewer numbers even mediocre, and Bryan Fuller said he deliberately designed every season finale to also be a series finale because he expected it to get cancelled every single season.
