130 and 131 were already difficult but then the battle of heaven and earth happened and we saw all those past titans , it was absolutely INSANE to animate and every manga reader was saying "RIP mappa"

Go and read the manga threads from that time , people said that mappa won't be able to adapt tis and it would be a CGI fest , it would not look good

But the rumbling looked so good , the anime battle of heaven and earth was LOWKEY BETTER , the additions to the anime improved so much

Seriously for all the time mappa took , they fucking delieverd , I am so GLAD they took up the project after WIT dropped it

S4 p1 was the only thing they were decent at , S4 p2 was awesome and S4 p3 and p4 are genuinely the greatest aot seasons animation wise , nothing beats those

It is my personal belief that due to the severity of the walls nature the people of Paradi have become incredibly adept at using every part of an animal to get as much sustenance and use out of it.

It would follow that they have gotten pretty good at it: sausage and other items for blood, grinding up bone for garden use, using the marrow reliably. All deeply ingrained into their culture.

From an outside perspective I think this would be very interesting: they could have five hundred different ways to cook a deer.

Thoughts?

"put an end to 2000 years of hatred!" by what, genociding every eldian alive? sure, he cares for the warriors, but something tells me he wouldn't shed too much of a tear if they were executed to "atone for the sins of their ancestors"

At the end of season 2, he doesn't just slash Bertolt, he also amputates Reiner's hardened thumb. I can't unsee it anymore, it's crazy and I love it.

You know what happened today.. My friend and I were talking about the animation of Attack on Titan, how in season 4 Mappa did an amazing job. This is his first anime, so I told him that Mappa is often accused of overworking animators, and whenever they do something great, people talk about how employees are overworked. He then said, "How can you have great Pyramids without exploiting slaves?"..😳

Idk if this was already discussed in this sub. But I do think it’s strange king Fritz allowed for the survey corps to actually be allowed to be created following the creation of the walls. If he went through the pain of erasing everyone’s memory to believe there aren’t any humans beyond the walls, why would he not stop the creation of a military branch who’s whole objective is to go outside the walls to learn more about the secrets of this world. If they had reached the shore and found ships with other humans (marleyans), that would create havoc within the walls and ultimately lead to the fall of the kings dynasty and control over it’s people.

I understand that he could just erase their memory again and start over but imo it would be easier to just not allow the creation of the survey corps lol

Annie killed the 2 captured titans and she didnt get caught initially because she presented Marco’s gear instead of her own. Because if she just used Marco’s to kill the titans, she could have presented her own gear at the inspection and Armin wouldnt have noticed she had Marco’s gear. It wouldnt have prevented her identity being revealed, but it seems more smart to use Marco’s gear to kill the captured titans instead of her own and Annie is very smart.

And another thing, if they kept reccords of when everyone uses their gear, how come anyone else didnt figure out Annie presented someone elses gear? Armin knew bc of the scratch marks, but the people who did the check should have known too right?

I just finished Attack on Titan and wow. Such an amazing show with such amazing characters, but the one who stood out the most to me, for whatever reason, was Keith Shadis. The most underrated character, the unsung hero and an absolute badass.

During armins sacrifice, Bertholdt wanted to kill armin as quick as possible as a mercy. Wouldn’t it have been quicker to simply crush him? I get Bertholdt still respected him and was also not thinking too hard in the heat of battle, but still.
