I have always preferred Wit because it really made you enter the world of Aot, with Mappa it was a horrible experience, with bad cgi, poor direction and animations not up to par I have always regretted that Wit did not complete this adaptation. And you?

Wit's art direction and fluid animation are the clear standout. But I also like the switch to Mappa's grounded approach due to the dramatic, even darker shift in the story and characters, not to mention the time skip. The only things I didn't like about Mappa were how much they broke up the season into parts, how they handled some cgi (Wit occasionally had struggles here too), and how they tended to "fix" animation for the physical releases after airing. Unfortunately, this was all due to time crunch and overworked staff. If they were treated better, the final season would have been near flawless. And yet, despite everything going against them, Mappa's staff seems to almost always deliver—and the final season delivered.

both studios were pretty good. s4 part one was kinda lacking but considering the time restraints it didn’t really bother me. season 1 is probably the best looking season by far tho.

WIT, but idk if they had done the final season if I would like it more tbh. The story really rubbed me the wrong way with that self-victimizing genocidal maniac and how he was accepted for being that way. And then they justified it with an out-of-nowhere plot convenience for the happy ending. Like bruh, at least shame him to oblivion if that’s how he’s gonna be.

I agree. We got two of the best studios around animating a great story, can't ask for more.

Wit was really good for the first 3 seasons, exploring the outside world. Mappa style was perfect for the tonal shift and dark, nihilistic theme of season 4.

WIT bc the art style was just better. the bold lineart made the show really stand out and MAPPA makes everything so much gloomier. and i guess that makes sense bc s4 is a monster of a season but it just doesn’t stand out as well as it used to

Yeah thats like saying "Wouldn't every movie be better if Scorsese made it?" or "wouldn't it be great if every quarterback was like Brady?"

Yeah...I mean...sure
But that's not really a point or how the world works, you know. It's always easy to demand a "better" product/result after the fact....

Both did greatly, but it would have been batter if animation was like in a trailer for the last season. I recall how I watched that trailer for the first time, Eren got me bricked up with his majestic looks 😂
I was like damn is this Eren ?!
also, everything looked smoother, so the only thing I would have changed is mappas schedule of work.

CGI was bad only in part 1 due to the short time period but direction wasn't in any way bad. Episode 5, 6, 7, 14 & 15 still in the top 15 episodes of AOT. So Idk what you're talking about. Also CGI and animation in both part 2 & 3 of the finale was top notch, you're just hating.
Although I prefer WIT any day, Mappa did an excellent job.

I mean they’re both good but imo mappa fit the show way better than wit studio did.

Like I could imagine s1-3 animated in Mappa’s style and work

But realistically I couldn’t picture wit studio animating s4 it just wouldn’t fit well in my opinion.

i think it was animated by same staff from wit but using a different art style of mappa's.
i like mappa's skin polish, it looks like a real skin and stands out frm other anime's
and their (eye's) 👀 animation are very good,I've noticed in lot of anime's after success of aot 4th season...
even in jjk

well I agree wit studio's art style complement AOT's art style more but how the heck can you say that mappa did a bad job? the animation is excellent and the CGI isn't bad at all and did you watched the final part? and if after watching it you say that mappa did a bad job then the problem's in your eyes.

People really need to get over it because both look great. Mappa's work on AoT is extremely underrated based on how much i see it get dragged. It's not anywhere remotely close to looking bad.

I really like Wit studio animation so i prefer wit over mappa. But mappa's art style was more suited for the final season. So it is perfect as it is.

I love Wit studio, but I won't hate on MAPPA just because I preferred Wit. Season 4 looked and was a masterpiece just like the previous seasons, so I'm satisfied and happy with what MAPPA created.

Imo the two memories of the future/from you, 2000 years ago showing the wit scenes with Mappa’s art style were a lot better. Just the overall shading and backgrounds.

MAPPA for some subtle attentions that are a bit more faithful to the manga. Wit for just about everything else. Well, at least they kept Sawano for the music. Would've taken a nosedive in atmosphere if we lost him.

I felt like if Mappa animated it from the start and already made a dark atmosphere from the beginning, it would've slapped. But since Wit started it I'm gonna have to go with them, also mainly because I liked their animations and artstyle more.
