I have been reading the manga since season 2 ended. I just had to know what was going to happen next. And the story just gets better and better. I was initially hyped for this because of the studio change. I love WIT studio but I have also loved the work MAPPA did for anime like Shingeki no Bahamut, Kakegurui, Banana Fish, Punch Line and most recently the phenomenal work they are doing with Jujutsu Kaisen. So I thought the final season would be in good hands.
I wish I wasn't so wrong about that. I forgave WIT's use of CGI for the Colossal Titan
...
during the previous seasons. It was really the only time they ever used CGI. But MAPPA's heavy-handed use of it is just so disappointing. From making EVERY titan a plasticy CGI figure, to using it to shortcut quick scenes with humans using 3DMG, to episode 6's use of it for the more heavy action sequence. It's just going to get worse as time goes on. There are going to be points where 80% or more of scenes are going to be this bad CGI. Those who are reading the manga will know what I am referencing. And it will be on par with Berserk 2016.
I know MAPPA is pouring all of its resources into Jujutsu Kaisen, and I appreciate them for that. I just wish Attack on Titan didn't have to suffer for it. This show could easily end on a 10/10 for most people. But if this usage of CGI continues it's only going to drag that number down. This first part of the final season is only 16 eps long and the manga is still way far ahead with still some months to go. So hopefully they stop this and properly animate the rest of the season one Jujutsu ends.
