Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) (Wit Studio)
bortorrrxx0 replied to † RazorDan's topic in Airing Anime
Interesting Well no need to discuss this any further since we both have strong opinions on this matter. My point being is that this season had so much potential to be Grade A quality, but they settled with Grade C quality. That is very disappointing. -

Because why going for fast pacing if their plan was for a split season right from the start anyways? And quite frankly cutting out important details and passing over interesting nuances was disrespectful to the original content and the audience. Despite the fact that season 3 is already completely done, which becomes quite apparent at the end of Ep49, they split it in two only to cover a 2 year airing schedule. So yeah, really got to hand it to them. They know perfectly well how to screw around with their fans. -

I used to only read the manga but stopped in favor for the anime to pick up. After this grave disappointment now with the large season split and the "questionable" adaption of the Uprising Arc, I'm getting back to reading. Stopped at chapter90, which is most likely the point at which this season is gonna wrap. A LOT to immerse myself back into ^^ -

The episode was fine, however So in the end it turns out that there was no need at all to modify and condense the uprising arc like they've done. And now when you want to check out how they'd handle the next arc, they announce the show is gonna be on break for another 6 months. The small teaser during the ending even shows that Really gotta hand it to them, they know perfectly well how to screw around with their fans. Back to the manga now. Not sure if I'll pick up on the 2nd part. -

If that turns out to be fact.... Oh well, I've been wondering why the airing schedule didn't update further than episode 49 -

Since last episode didn't air due to typhoon, I'm kinda hoping for a 2 episode special sometime later down the road. -

You can agree to a lot of what has been said there When an anime changes things and those changes are actually plausible and preferably favorible as well, then it's okay I'd say. This season so far condenses the plot for fast pacing and for whatever reason even puts filler into there as well. I can't understand why people didn't like this particular arc in manga, but each to their own and of course the anime has to appeal to the mass which allegedly is mostly an action-loving audience. When the studio is being faithful to the source for adaption, the scenes turn out exceptionally well. I really want a gif of Historia running up the stairs Next episode we'll see if another core element got cut or not, but the preview kinda looks like it's gonne be in there. Btw, -

I just would like to mention that the pacing so far is insanely fast. Episode 3 was so far the best one. It really did its best to wrap up all changes that have been made with the first two episodes, with the exception of the portayal of Historia of course. The confrontation between her and Rod Reiss was immensely disappointing though, it almost felt like she reverted back to her former broken/weak girl persona. There was absolutely no need to do that just for the anime. No idea why they felt the need to make that change. Episode 4 was nice too. I had my worries concering the Flegel and news press subplot, but this got handled pretty well. However, Levi Squad's fell WAY too short. I was looking forward to how the anime would adapt their first real assault on the MP, but it got reduced to a tiny checkpoint. That was underwhelming, to say the least. But of course, saved a lot of time for the sake of fast pacing I suppose. If this keeps up then we'll get to the "the place where it all began", like Rod Reiss put it, starting Episode 6 already. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing... -

Now after two episodes I can say that so far the only things I really like are both the OP and the ED. The rest I'm not so sure about. Yet. I don't know if it really was such a good or wise decision to cut up two entirely different events, mesh them into a single one and set up everything else to somehow make it all fit. -

I'm also looking forward to see the new ending ^^ "Requiem der Morgenröte" has a good ring to it. -

So no proof, alright. All we got is mere speculation. Well I can only see it going to work out in a satisfying way if the split would be something like 16~18 episodes for uprising arc and then as many episodes needed for the following one. Unless their goal is quantity over quality. Of course, with just one episode to take as a source you're just grasping at straws. Time will tell. All I'm doing is looking out for facts that can tell me how this will go down, that's all ^^ I'll start complaining (perhaps) later on if my worries are getting confirmed at some point. -

Well, I definitely want to believe that this season is gonna cover two arcs. Is there an official statement by the producers themselves somewhere? I just hope that the producers won't cut out too much material just to make these two arcs somehow fit into one limited ~24 episode season. I don't know how much Isayama has been involved, but it's just hard to believe that this is going to work out in a satisfying way. Surely the first episode has been specially prepared in this way to get you pumped for the new season, so there's still room for neglected content to be fully implemented later on. There were some very important aspects that you just cannot remove like that. -

Hmm this first episode is difficult. First of all, the new opening is awesome! Sure it's not as upbeat as previous ones, but this arc is also entirely different that any previous ones. I love how it's entirely about one character that's about to become central in this arc. Plus it's featuring very important elements for this new arc as well. I had to go back to the source material and wow, a lot has been skipped. Probably because this is a pilot episode to rile up the audience. I wonder if you can interpret into the first seconds that the season is actually going to end 'there', but I'm not really sure about that... There's just not enough space to work with. I can see three scenarios: 1) They skip a lot and somehow cram two arcs into this season 2) They adapt this one arc only with about 21 episodes (referring to the BD and DVD release dates from official website) 3) They extend this season with a couple more episodes (idk, 26~28) and adapt two arcs and make them good That being sad, I enjoyed this episode very much. I could get immersed into this anime once again without any problems. Almost felt like I've ended 2nd season right before diving into this new one ^^ -

Patience is a gift , and what are 6 more days? Just one thing though: Is this first episode of regular length or is it some extended special episode? -

Only 6 more days left. I can hardly wait. I managed to avoid any kind of spoilers, manga or anime related. Stopped reading the manga at around ch88 or so and now I'm curious about much this season is going to cover. There were two scenes in season2 that have been shown way ahead in time, involving Marco and Ymir, so I really hope that in order to make any sense of especially Ymir's content this season is gonna cover until books and shores. -
