but I predict something like 14 eps 😆 I just hope that for perfectly paced adaption for dialogue chapters and for the chance that part 2 airs march (late winter season)

No way will they adapt chapters 132-139 if the work for part 2 began in October of 2020, I mean none of those chapters were even released at that point anyway. Part 2 will cover 117-131 and a movie will do rest unless y'all are expecting a part 3 lmao

I think they worked on chapter 117-123 eps (colt picture in magazine). They dont have to work on the latest chapters but the paths chapters surely. They could already started animating the alliance chapters while polishing the eps that cover chapter 117-123

if they adapt the entirety of 117-139 in the next part this series is truly doomed chapter 130-139 would atleast take 2 and a half years to look decent.The final arc is nearly inpossible to animate in suh a short timespan,the best case scenario is that 117-129/130 2nd cour then 130/131-139 into a movie.

Imagine thinking 130-139 needs 2.5 years to be adapted. This fanbase is legit losing braincells as the years go by. No studio will be given that much time so in your mind it's doomed to fail from the start. 2021 accounts are bringing comedy back to MAL forums.
They most likely started working on 132-139 in 2021, use some logic. 124-128 won't take them that much time or effort to adapt.

Anyone still expecting a movie is just OD'ing on copium.

Let's be real here. No animator will accept working on the final fight which is madness to animate just for it to be released with just 9-11 months of work considering everything in there has to be hand-drawn since no one will be investing in so many CG models as CG models are really expensive, especially when they will only be appearing for a few seconds per model.

I think there’s a misunderstanding of how CG works. I don’t know myself but in the season 2 opening, WIT used CGI on a bunch of titans when the scouts jumped off the wall. They can probably make one model and reuse it. The colossal titans look all very similar anyway.

The blu-ray has been delayed. https://twitter.com/AoTWiki/status/1380084337287163906

This is good news perhaps? The first half of part 1 has been delayed a few weeks longer than the second half, so, I'm expecting decent improvements to episode 6.

Possibilities:
1) This delay is because they have been improving it all this time and want to make it as good as possible. They grasp how popular this show is, and have taken all the criticism into consideration, and hence want to polish it as much as they can.

2) The staff has been so busy on other projects all this time that they haven't had time to work on the blu-ray at all. They've just started heavily working on it.

Conclusion: They definitely do care about the blu-ray, and I think it's safe to expect that it'll look a bit better than the TV version, otherwise they wouldn't have gone through the hassle of postponing it. If they really didn't care, they would just release the TV version as is. When I say 'they', I refer to whoever makes decisions regarding the blu-ray, most probably the production committee.

Yes it's possible but don't set your expectations too high, it's not the first time a blu ray anime has been delayed and didn't receive many improvements.

JJ_jose said:
bro the last time a bluray for attack on titan was delayed, it ended up looking much better. Season 1 as my reference

Awesomeness_1307 said:


Yes, I am optimistic, but we can never know, MAPPA is a much different studio than WIT.

JJ_jose said:
then it should serve as consolation for you to know that MAPPA in particular change a lot for their blurays, sometimes "too much".
