Shingeki no Kyojin

Heard some leaks from animators working on the finale season:

-Production is fucked, some early episodes are not even finished.
-Staff is desesperaly recruiting freelance animators on twitter to help them, many of them being young animators from oversea who accept anything despite the horrible pay and conditions
-New character design sheets are really close to the manga and way too complex. They're basically asking them to animate the characters with the designs from the manga, with no compromise to simplify them. This is what is killing the production. One animator said that it takes 3-4x more time to animate a character in AoT compared to a character from a regular anime (faces are too detailed, uniforms are too complex,...). It would be fine if the schedule wasn't so bad.
-Production Committee is stubborn and has always insisted on Fall 2020 for the release date, which fucked the schedule. They accepted to delay it until december due to COVID, and another delay is not impossible due to the state of the production. If another delay happen they will just blame it on COVID.
-"Part 1" of the finale season is supposed to be 16 episodes long. Staff and PC are thinking abouts splitting Part 1 in two cours to ease the burden (second half after Kingdom ends in September) but it's unlikely.
-Overall you can expect something around OPM S2 in term of animation (nothing fancy, maybe some good cuts here and there). Staff is aware of those limitations and they're trying their best to work with them.

Why are we still making threads?
We got nothing to talk about

>Production is fucked, some early episodes are not even finished.

Is this why we have see nothing of the real product besides those two frames of Falco and Colt? First PV was preanimated.

Wow japanese animators are vocal about the new season and they are not happy. Theyre discontented with the way the show's development is going and the whole merch stuff. I guess they were holding out hope for a season 2 route. There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the lead animators changed. Obviously that wont happen but it shows how unhappy they are.

>OPM S2 in terms of animation
So nothing to worry about then.

Jesus Christ. They really don't give a shit anymore.
JJK looks fine, so why do they do this? "Manga is ending" is not an excuse. Kimetsu no Yaiba just ended and the movie looks top tier.

Sources on that?Everything sounds fucked.

Probably, the CM used recycled footage from PV 1.

Why was Magath even killed off if we were going to get a peace ending with a Marleyan general anyways?

>There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the lead animators changed
Can you post a link?

Good riddance, the manga has been quite garbage for a year, this is the treatment it deserves

The source is deep in user's ass.

>JJK looks fine, so why do they do this?
JJK's production started way before AoT's. They had the time to take care of it.

MAPPA a Shit

is the Production Committee honestly retarded? what's the point of making AoT so fast? what do they gain from releasing it prematurely? Fans survived 4 years without season 2, we would be perfectly fine to wait 2 for season 4 or something simmilar, is it the whole autistic thing with matching the anime ending to manga ending at the same time?

Plot kino and canon.

Wow they are fucking pathetic. I expect this kind of thing from the west, not japan. Ive lost all respect for them.

Quality of the final product rarely matters to production committees. See Nanatsu no Taizai. Popular in Japan and extremely popular on Netflix in the rest of the world. Season 3 was disaster but they didn't care. Season 4 of NnT will air soon with the same staff and probably the same quality

EMina is canon

With all of the babies that are shoved on our faces and the whole children are the future theme, is there anyone that still believes the final panel is Grisha holding Eren? Even the baby being the cliff baby encompasses this theme better

You have no source but it's been consistent with what we know about the production so far. Don't forget the sound director was utterly shocked to learn about the December air date, and it was via marketing rather than internally.

>December air date
That was the first red flag. Fall anime usually start on late September/early October

>Character goes off to commit genocide
>Readers are mad because the reality is fucking awful
What the fuck did they expect, Eren is too stupid to pull off an "I'll be the demon lord the world will unite around" gambit

OP here. Well I can't share my sources or they will be in trouble. I just wanted to share what I know about the final season so people would stop to overhype themselves. Shit's probably going to be bad and the main culprit is the production committee for not delaying it.
