Omertaskaya said: People who compare this with Berserk 2016, are there some problems in your brains ? Okay. I get it now. People don't like this adaptation because they basically watch this show JUST for action scenes. Attack on Titan is Attack on Titan because of it's story. And besides from CGI, this adaptation is PERFECT. Just one word: Perfect. They basically didn't cut anything. This means, you don't like the action scenes. Not adaptation. Because the adaptation is same with manga. They basically nailed it except episode 3. God. Imagine a person who watches Attack on Titan for it's action and not for the plot. This must be a joke or something. Once and for all. CGI is not THAT bad. And you know that too deep inside. It's better than most anime. They didn't cut anything ? They skipped a lot, especially in ep 2 and 3... Lmao "the same as the manga". And AOT is popular because of the story AND the hype moments |

NextUniverse said: what really is going to make me laugh a lot is if this actually tops FMAB. that would be so ironic for something as AOT to artificially make it to the top like that when people are disappointed. |
| I don’t think we’re giving the staff enough credit man. They have done such an incredible job with storyboards and overall direction that even when the animation is stiff or CGI, the presentation is still fantastic. I definitely prefer MAPPA S4 over Wit S2 and S3. The adaptation of S3P2 was abysmal at points, and I’m glad to see it finally getting a deserving adaptation |
| So they chose CGI instead of 2D for the titans, not a very safe choice to be honest. Well I won't complain too much, the episode was extremely epic anyway. It was incredible to see Mikasa, Levy etc again, and they were already great. So much action in this episode, I can't wait to see the next one now xD |

armchair3 said: So can someone answer me, why the fuck did they use 2D for Annie's titan, but this fight is all CG? Maybe because Annie's titan was there for 10 seconds instead of a whole episode.. |
| I believe that all the complaints of those of us who have read the manga, are because we had other type of experience and, in my opinion, we want that all of those watching the anime to have the same epic experience. I think this episode was great, the shot of Mikasa was amazing. But I'll still say that, given enough time, this season could have been SO much better, regardless of whether WIT or MAPPA had taken over. And it could have probably been even better if no studio had taken the project back then and the committee decided to give WIT enough time and money. This adaptation is not as perfect as some people say. Edit: neither goes near as the past seasons quality overall. Still, it's what it is and we can't do much about it. |
| Beyond underwhelming. Mappa needs to stop trying to adapt classics left and right if they can't give them proper animation. Banana Fish, Dororo, Dorohedoro, this, next it will be Chainsaw Man. They all look like shit. They can cry as much as they want on Twitter, if you pick up SnK you better step up your level and not give us this mediocre bullshit like it's another seasonal garbage. |
| Great eipsode overall, kinda anticlimatic at the start, but then it was just pure goodness. I realy enjoyed the ODM gear scenes and the warhammer titan fight. The only times the CG was somewhat jarring was then they rendered people with slow movements. I think it looks really well for CG in fast paced scenes, they should stick to that. |

| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
Taifu_15 said: Yeah people overreact like mad, used to it at this point. Love the adaptation of Mikasa’s entrance and fight.https://youtu.be/8knHSwXKBHc Y'all are overeating with the "cg bad" it was decent-good Yes some looked awkward but overall decent |
 |
| Awesome ep, but usual comments in the episode topic. Sigh. If people are so fixated with animation/cg and wants only to shout and scream SAKUGA!!!! go watch the myriad of copypaste battle shonen available. Its not that difficult. |
tirthasg said: To me 20 years from now, I hope you're watching a well-made remake with proper animation of Shingeki no Kyojin S4. For now, I'll be dropping this train wreck. We can always hope. No doubt, you'll be back in a weeks time, saying the same thing. |
| This adaptation is fine. Is it as good as wit? 100% no. But it does its job. The CG this episode was stupid inconsistent tho. Some shots looked quite decent (those with well done camera movements) but others just looked very odd, especially when it was about humans in 3D (and the hammer titan crystal was honestly terrible). The sound design was also pretty funny in one scene, fine overall, but when eren was attacking the hammer titan with his fists their sound just made me laugh. Its still a fine episode thanks to the source material tho, and again, i dont mind the CG that much because it at least makes the animators jobs easier. |

And AOT is popular because of the story AND the hype moments I already said "except epsiode 3" right ? Please at least don't write before read. That was the only episode that wasn't adapted faithfully. Episode 2 just cut some dialogue and and so the other episodes. Just fucking dialogue. And acceptable minor insignificant scenes. Nothing important to the pilot. Nothing. They even add the fucking Pieck scene for fuck sake. Don't act like they cut Eren vs War Hammer or something. And all adaptations have this kind of minor cuttings. I swear you guys act like didn't see a real "bad adaptation" before. You treat this anime like the Tokyo Ghoul level. You said the adaptation is "perfect" and it's the "same as the manga" lmao, if they skipped contents how can it be like the manga ???????????? Be logical And stop saying 'fuck', it makes it hard to not laugh while reading your comment |

armchair3 said: Making a CG model actually takes a lot of time. Once the model is done though, it can be used in animation quickly and efficiently. The thing with Annie is that her titan form only appears for 5 seconds in this entire season. So there's no point in spending so much time making a CG model for her titan if it's just a lot easier to hand-draw her titan for those 5 seconds.So can someone answer me, why the fuck did they use 2D for Annie's titan, but this fight is all CG? |

Omertaskaya said: Reiner_undieable said: if you are just watching for the story then why not just read the manga? Saying this season doesn't need good animated fight scenes or good osts and sound effect is just stupid good stories can be ruined if these things are done wronge You don't fully understand what I'm saying. Why the fuck should I do that. Is loving the story is an obstacle to watch the anime ? And I never said animation and osts doesn't have to be good. I'm saying didn't have to be fucking GOD-TIER. And people are basically expect that. And why shouldn't people expect god-tier animation and ost? That was the high bar set by the previous seasons of the same damn show not only for itself but also for other anime. We can understand and empathize with the animation studio but people still have the right to criticize the end product despite that. Just that the blame lies on the production committee and not the studio per say. |

Reiner_undieable said: still enough to make a masterpiece season with atleast 2 or 3 good sakuga fight scenes unlike this season which has nothing to look for Do you think WiT had this series taken away from them or something? They didn't want to continue with the project due to extenuating circumstances. I don't care if you think they would have done it better. It's completely irrelevant because they were never going to do it in the first place. |
WhiteTestament said: Awesome ep, but usual comments in the episode topic. Sigh. If people are so fixated with animation/cg and wants only to shout and scream SAKUGA!!!! go watch the myriad of copypaste battle shonen available. Its not that difficult. Ok. I'll then go praise the sakuga and criticize the story for those 'copypaste' battle shounen you speak of. But, that won't stop me from praising the story and criticizing the animation for AoT S4. What? You were expecting all hate for AoT and all praise for other shounen? Too bad, everything is not so black and white in the real world. |
|
| I got more enjoyment from ex-arm than from this episode. |
| Idc with cgi or 2D or whatever. I just enjoyed watching this eps. 10/10 |
 |
| It's sad that they had no choice but to use this janky CGI for the titans. Would've been better if they didn't move in 10fps. Also, CG for maneuver gear soldiers? Hope they don't do that for a certain Levi scene later in the show. Flock look a bit off model from their manga designs. Also, I feel like the music choices during the fight didn't match very well, which made the previously mentioned concerns easier to notice. Still a enjoyable episode but I'm gonna hope we get some substantial improvements on the Blu-ray version. |

Sondfer said: It's not really a surprise that all the same users shit on this season in every episode discussion, while saying "im not hating MAPPA, BUT". I mean we really aren't hating on them. Maybe some are. I know it isn't the fault of the Animators but the committee, but I can't help but get disappointed and mainly sad when I look at the lost potential. So, does hate is what comes to your mind when you see criticism or someone not liking the stuff as much they wanted to? Then the problem lies with you. |
|
| WTF ARE THOSE CGIS????!!!!! Nah, honestly the story is so good I don't even care, as long as you don't go Berserk 2016 its pretty hard to ruin the manga at this point. |
BoguKamBek said: Great episode. Liked the usage of CG. I think it was on par with episode 1 Galliard and Reiner scenes. Floch looks chubby. Jean, Connie and Sasha look nice. Gabi looks and sounds amazing. Not only did I like the warrior candidates more in the anime, I will probably like them even more as the series progresses because of Gabi's and Falco's VA's lovely performances. Tybur and Magath performances were also nicely done. CG survey corps seemed off to me at the start and it still does. Hopefully they will get better, but eh, what can I do if it's not. I don't care much for perfection anyway. I can handle bad parts of it when the overall is good. Didn't pay much notice to soundtrack usage since I don't enjoy AOT tracks besides the openings that much anyway. Mikasa's lips were weird and Levi is badass as always. 9/10 for me. I also liked the warrior candidates way more than the Paradisians even when I read the manga. So I doubt you're liking them more because of the voive acting alone. |

armchair3 said: I sure would like if they don't use the trailer music for the 29th time this season Idk why they're shying away from using the more epic osts of the previous seasons and just play the trailer the ost ad nauseum. That wouldn't be much of a problem if the placement and remixes were better like Samuel Kim's remix for ep5 for example. |
