The one thing I dont understand now is, why WIT censored so much the violence?

WIT did show a lot of gore, and seeing Vinland Saga, we can see that WIT doesn't have much issue with violence either. You must've watched a censored version

Another one trying to make WIT looks bad to make people forget that MAPPA ruined AOT season 4.

Examples:

Grisha sister being killed

Levi hurting Zeke after defeating him

Gross being chewed after Kruger push him.


This season stuff that I was thinking was gonna be censored like Reiner pointing the gun inside his mouth or Fort Slava soldiers being eating by titans were not censored, that is my question, its odd, all other changes we know.


They cannot make the Titans 2d mostly because they dont have the staff talented enough for that, they are forced to rush so much because of the ep count being 16 eps, instead of what it should have been 20, etc.

That is excessive it's more like 18 episodes over 16 pacing should be more close to previous seasons after this and this was actually the first episode where I would argue anything notable got cut. Like the important scenes cut honestly in this backstory at most needed 5-6 more minutes. MAPPA has talented staff the issue is the time needed to produce all of this

Appropriate pacing for me is S2 which adapted 16 chapters plus almost a full chapter of ymir backstory in 240 min, for comparison Uprising in anime was 216 min, and RTS was 258 min. Fun fact is that both RTS and S2 are 12 ep long.

Also MAPPA in the Friday interview said they did not have enough qualified animators for titans to be 2d all the time.

censorship is always mandated by the TV station anyway so who knows why the TV station change their stance, maybe the government regulatory board also agreed to it or they change their TV censorship rules

TolkienFan365 said:


Never saw the interview I assumed that it was the biggest issue considering how intense the production was for past seasons and it would free up time.

Also S2 was kinda drawn out to me mainly in the beginning I think that was a bit too slow something slightly faster than that would be ideal.

S2 was perfect for me, S1 was the one with the drawn out parts specially the stretch of eps 10 to 13.

Tv version always get censored bro... Just wait for the blu ray version

xenosys said:


Well, they adapted 32-33 chapters into 25 episodes, which is one of the reasons why some of that season dragged. 22 episodes would have been more than enough.

Nope, I think it was a artistic choice by Wit studio. Nothing else nothing more.

WIT'S S3 aired on NHK station and it has the strictest censorship control than any other tv stations in japan, reason why is, NHK is considered a national-level broadcast media in Japan which is very influential among the viewers.

Though it is privately operated on the surface, it was once state-owned after all so it literally represents the overall image of japan broadcast media, thus the strictest values and standards on the content it airs.

In fact, this season also has a lot of requirements on the colour and the shooting style of certain gory and bloody scenes, they couldn't use strong saturation and contrast composite for the sensitive scenes....

However this doesn't mean these scenes wont appear at all, negotiations can be made with the tv station...
For example, if certain scenes are censored... then the plot development will be inconsistent and non-logical, or the original manga have that particular scene and it is widely accepted by everyone or that scene is needed for character development e.g.. reiner's suicide scene.

The production studio had to compromise for the censorship on some parts but they can also fight to get the important scenes through or improvise the animation for those scenes like the scene of levi cutting through the throat of zeke in anime instead of cutting into his eyes like manga did.
