| I don't mind recap movies in general, but do we not already have 3 full-length recap movies for Seasons 1 through 2? What's the point of this? Why not just make a recap movie that summarizes Season 3 alone and complete the "tetralogy"? Why cover the exact same material from S1 and S2 yet again? |

| Why not? It's purpose is to just simplify the preparation for season 4 by condensing everything into a single recap. It goes without saying that this Chronicle is only meant for viewers who have watched all previous seasons a long time back. |
| Lmao as soon as I read the synopsis the only thing that came to mind was "Why" Then to find this thread with the exact question ^^ Definitely feels weird to make a recap covering season 1 to 3. It's got to be a really long movie aswell, there's no way you're going to put in 20 hours of story into a 2 or maybe 3 hour movie. |
 |
| It's going to be a long-ass recap that's for sure, or just hella rushed lol I do find it strange when considering that we've had separate movie recaps for previous seasons. I expected the same this time around for the 3rd season, but I guess not xD |
 |
| ye thats my question too just why, but im tempted to check this out just to see if it even pass as decent recap of all seasons so far |
| Well, if I can see it on the big screen (when everything opens back up) I'll be down. Otherwise I'll probably just rewatch all the previous seasons. |
 |
| A recap of a recap? :V |
 |
| why not? they got the money :o |

| Lmao why ask. They do it for you lazy ass who dont want to watch everything from the beginning. |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| Why? To.... 1) Promote Attack On Titan that their franchise will start again 2) Assure fans will get the same kind of quality they have seen so far 3) Rewatch : To make fans understand how much progress we have gone so far 4) Earn a substantial amount of funds to animate the other season 5) And so on... |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

| I may watch this since i already forgot about the story..and more short more better for me |
| I wasn't interested in the first two movies, won't be interested in this third one either. I wish they would make some SoL OVAs instead of wasting their money on recap movies. |
Gator said: I wish they would make some SoL OVAs instead of wasting their money on recap movies. SoL OVAs definitely cost more money than just editing cutting and pasting old scenes to make a recap movie |
| Because I'm senile and already forgot what happened in season 1. MAPPA is doing this right? Maybe they wanna show of earlier scenes in their style lol |
 |
| Well ... it's been a long time since season 1. And the manga exists for a long time. With the upcoming stuff happening in the last season ... I guess it is good to give a recap. And I prefer it the way they are doing it now. Better than having countless movies. Code Geass I think hat also lots of movies recapping or retelling the stuff. One movie for 3 seasons does not sound too bad. Better than having 3 movies each 60 minutes or so. |
| Loool they so want to milk it as much as possible. Xd |

| This one should be a truly long movie. It’s a good thing because it can be a hint of how Mappa’s work on the series will be. |

| Because you can make money from recap. HectorBlaze said: This one should be a truly long movie. It’s a good thing because it can be a hint of how Mappa’s work on the series will be. Why? It's not like they gonna animate new scene. Recap just use previous footages from the previous studios. |

Moreover, I think they can add some new short scenes, probably. |

| How are they going to recap 59 episodes? Is that even possible? |
 |
| I'm all for it ! Not a big fan of recaps in the middle of a season but since It's going to be SnK's last season ever, this compilation movie is a great opportunity to look back at the crazy story so far. And It will be WIT's last work on SnK :( |

 |
| I think a compilation movie per season is already stretched but fair, now this on the other hand. Is it really a single movie? |

| BRUH! 59 episodes into a single movie?! ooF! This is gonna be worse trainwreck than Kabaneri. LUL. Not watching it |
| Good luck with nearly 50 episodes, especially considering the devil seems to be mostly in the details with this story. |
  |
| I don't see any issue with them creating a recap of all the episodes till now, but I'm actually curious of they can wrap up all of the episodes in a movie-format... It's like they're challenging themselves; 'Can it be done? Let's find out'. |

| Well I'd love to have a recap of everything in AoT just before the final season. This recap movie is definitely going to improve my S4 watching experience. |
 |
| It's not difficult to make a great recap. Do it like Gintama, instead of trying to compress everything in a rushed movie, just add narration explaining in detail every single thing that happened with key scenes playing the background, documentary style. You don't need to re-adapt 20 hours of anime or anything, just be sufficiently informative with the content in hand. You can easily cover most of the ground in one hour or so, going very in-depth at that. I've seen Youtube videos covering every single thing that happened in big ass arcs from other anime in much less time and just as efficiently anyway. The big problem of recaps is how well they are covering the content to be talked about, not how much they are trying to cover in a short amount of time. So many recaps listed in this site are pointless attempts of doing something like that, when just narrating the happenings in detail with the important things going on the screen while they are at it is just so much more easy, well-made, well-executed and most of all, handy. And considering the famous Armin's PoV canon narrative coverage, I bet this will be extremely easy to do just like that. I'm looking forward to this recap. |

| Just ignore it like the S3 recap you would've ignored anyway |

And I would rather watch a single 20 minute OVA with new content instead of three 90 minutes recap movies. gonna share this here But more than anything, compilation films are just really, really cheap to make. Even if nobody goes to see them, the cost of producing them is a small fraction of the cost to make a single episode of anime. No new animation needs to be made (and if it does, it's usually only a couple of minutes' worth). Usually only a single voice actor is required to add new narration. No new music needs to be composed. Most of the sound design can be re-used. When an entirely new product from an existing franchise can be made for only the cost of hiring a few editors, making it becomes a question of "why not?" https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-12-02/.109367 |
gedata said: Just ignore it like the S3 recap you would've ignored anyway But i wouldn't have ignored a lone S3 recap, though. I watched all the previous recap movies just fine, and i don't plan to ignore this one either. I don't hate recaps, plus i'm a completionist, anyway. I just don't see why they have to cover the same ground that's already been perfectly summarized before. It makes me worried that this movie will turn out to be a rushed, incoherent mess. |

That would definitely be the best way to go about it. I recently watched a YT video that summarized the entire Tsukihime visual novel in just 40-ish minutes, by simply narrating the main events while showing key scenes in the background; so it can be done. Unfortunately, i don't recall seeing this kind of storytelling format being used in recap movies very often. Though in AoT's case, i suppose it wouldn't really feel out-of-place since, as you mention, the series has a history of using Armin for voice-over narration a lot. |

| Honestly them making this recap make more sense than the last one because this is the last season so it will be self-evident for them to recap everything once and for all |
       |
| The first season came out years ago, it's a good chance to refresh your memory. Though, rewatching the whole anime would be a much more enjoyable experience. |

twinkul said: Not sure if there was a recap for s3 p2. Honestly, rewatching the anime would be a lot easier but many people don't want to. Yes, there is no recap movie for either parts of S3. That's my point: it would have been better if they recapped S3 alone, because we already got 3 perfectly fine recap movies that cover S1 and S2. |
| another recap of an anime great |
| dont't watch that anime if you are going to give it 1* and cry 10000 words in review about it. |
| No one forces you to watch recaps. |
 |
| On one hand, I understand that this is aimed at people who know the basic plot outline thus far and just want a refresher. As such, a LOT of content will be cut (assuming it's not some kind of absurdly long movie). However, the previous recap movies could stand on their own. So I do agree that this seems somewhat out of place. Regardless, I want to watch it anyway. I would have no problem with going to watch a 4-5 hour movie in theaters. Speaking of which, I hope Funimation releases this in theaters like they did with the Season 2 recap. |

| It makes sense if you want a recap to prepare for S4 or to show it to people who wanna get into the Manga/Anime but don't wanna commit to a longer Anime. I'll prob just watch it anyway because SNK has really good animation in general and I can't get enough of that. |
