Heichou!

I guess I’m first from China

To all the people who said we wont be getting an episode on the 14th of October, look whos laughing now.

Well at least this makes the wait for next arc 2.5 months rather than 3...lol bieng optimistic here OR unless they air second part in the last 10days of january like what happened this season in july. Sigh!

Silver

No it doesn't give him more time. Its all the same, its not like the second cour of S3 is delayed as well.

Raykel

Damn I could imagine people will pissed first the 3 month delay for the 2nd part of season 3 and know no episode today probably until next week because of the typhoon but hey it could be worst this just give lm even more time to catch up

Jeremiah

Today's episode of AoT stands for Attack on Typhoon.

I'll have 3x1 up on YouTube at some point today, shouldn't be a problem. Disputing copyright claims on a couple of the other vids and trying to re-edit them at the moment. I really wanted to put up AoT 3x1, Black Sails 1x1 and Doctor Who 2x7 at the same time on YouTube but copyright claims on a couple of them have made things very frustrating.

FILMBuFF

With today's S3 episode cancelled, Im's really the only AoT content I can expect today - hopefully!

Yeah that makes sense also just read that today's episode will be delayed due to the typhoon in Japan. Hope everyone stays safe and looking forward to your discussions!

I might scale it down to watching 2 episodes at a time instead of 3, not 100% sure yet.

FILMBuFF

Yeah because he is always on point 😅

RedSlifer

Don't worry today is the day for at least 1 episode.

Silver

The wait is killing me

RedSlifer

So is the split going to be affecting how you release the remaining episodes or are you sticking to the previous plan?

@ArtificialFlvrz oh! then its good.

Silver

The "spoiler" that shows in Mikasa's lost girls episode should be covered in the last episodes before the break, so there's no issue if Im watches all three of them. If season 3 aired in April like it was supposed to and still had the break, It would have come out just in time to be watched.

ArtficialFlvrz

Oh I should be able to squeeze in the Lost Girls specials. I was ready to do the poll winner as the long running anime and AoT S3 as the weekly Anime, so a few specials should be no problem :)

FILMBuFF

Yep right on, should be a much cleaner catch up this time. Lol it's bit of a relief actually, that it will be going on break.

FILMBuFF

Indeed very convenient :D after those failed attempts, I can finally actually watch with everyone in January.

FILMBuFF

Yes! it's such a great feeling to finally be on the same season as everyone else, only 3 episodes in but at least i'm into S3 proper! very excited to get the DW vids flowing again!

FILMBuFF

he said that he'll start new anime when he is caught up with AOT, so I doubt he will check Lost girls

GeorgeYTG

not lost girls 3rd episode before RTS arc at least.

Silver

Few month break before the second cour starts sounds fine, better than a rush job. Lots of time for Im to catch up cleaner than what happened with season 2, can even fit in Lost Girls 1-3 during the wait.

ArtficialFlvrz

By the way, it's confirmed, after releasing 12 episodes they will do a break until January 2019. How convenient for Im :P

GeorgeYTG

Loving your reactions and I'm so hyped that you're watching s3 with us!! I'm going to have to start watching your DW reactions (love DW) so I can consume more of your stuff in the wait for more AoT, hahah!

Ellie

Yeah that would be good too. I guess i've been spoiled here on patreon getting 3-4 vids in one go :p.

Silver

Do it. 1 video per day would be awesome.

Thanos D. Alexioy

@RegulusCorneas completely Agreed. Break can make RTS even more great than it already is in the manga panels!

Silver

The new videos should be up by the 30th, Black Sails is giving me some copyright problems. Still deciding how to release the AoT vids on YouTube, leaning towards one vid a day over the span of three days.

FILMBuFF

@RegulusCorneas Agreed.

I was wrong about the animation point. Silver is right, however I still see no reason for complaining about a break. The animation can be topped and Im can catch up, so he can gather more subs.

Raykel

I don't understand why people hate CGI in anime so much. I don't think it looks better than animated, but for massive things like collosal titan, CGI makes them feel even larger. When you mix 2d small soldiers and 3d massive titan, it imo looks really good

GeorgeYTG

Why not Friday? XD

I bet 10 cents the videos will come out this weekend

Sebastiano Barreca

"if you think the usage of CGI in non CGI anime is somehow good, you must be delusional" i don't think you noticed but the whole show is almost 50% CGI. Even the producer George Wada said  this in the interview way back(not making it up).Look at the backgrounds in MOST of the episodes throughout the show wherever they need to show those beautiful feilds, the houses and buildings in the city or the scale in general (that is a lot of times) they MOSTLY use CGI. also there is CGI in other background characters in scenes and that occasional realistic smoke in show that feels like its right out of some high end game and even in the one just above in this post. look around Levi. the buildings are fkn CGI and yet its the most amazing peice of animation this year. its all about EXECUTION. and they did the execution of the latest CGI that stood out pretty good(IMO) .It adds to the creep factor that was needed (FOR ME at least and many people liked it too for the same reason).

Silver

Please dont start this kind of tonal discussion. We can all state our points without name calling. Lets try to keep this community as clean of toxicity as possible.

Jordan Blackmore

If you think the usage of CGI in a non CGI anime is somehow good, you must be delusional. One of the worst things I have ever seen in AoT. Then, we had a lot of still images. This is not an indication of good animation quality. Nothings comes close to what I have seen in the beginning of Ep 2.

Raykel

Animation bad after EP 2 !!? REALLY !? Are we watching the same anime xD ?

Kopplex

"I" don't think the animation was bad after ep 2 at all. it was just less action more TALKING. they did pretty good animation for every piece of ACTION after that. can't go into details here. but TO ME everything looks crisp even after episode 2. maybe its the little changes in character art. Granted I know a break is still better for the show in the long run to even enhance that Animation.

Silver

Vinland saga is a great manga, its a blessing that a studio like WIT is adapting it. That's why its a bit worrying to hear that the production time will be shared, but I think to have 3 months more is still better than nothing.

Raykel

Don't know about that. WIT is a small studio and the next AoT episodes wil apparently share production time with Vinland Saga. I hope they get help from another team like in season 2.

Krydda

Thank god, there is a break, so they have enough time to do the animation properly. The best animation was in Ep2, afterwards you could see how it got worse and worse, I started to doubt that THAT MOMOMENT is gonna be done properly, but now my worries are gone... please be 3 months. With a longer break, Im will catch up and we get top notch animation quality, it's a win win situation. People who complain about this, should really be a bit more patient. In a couple of years no one is gonna say things like: " Oh but this season had a split cour ..." They either are gonna say: The adaptation was amazing!!!" or " The animation was trash!"

Raykel

Go on AoT Wiki, they share all the informations. There wont be new episodes for at least 3 weeks, we don’t know when there’ll be the second cour. However, in my opinion, it’s just good we know that there will be a second cour.

Sebastiano Barreca

I saw that post too but I think all it said was season 3 voice acting was over. Considering season 3 was supposed to start airing in spring but got delayed, it could really mean that season 3 voice acting is done

Rory Borcherding

Where is it confirmed that the season will be split cour? Haven’t heard that.

Rory Borcherding

I heard on twitter that they finished the first part of voice acting. I’m assuming from this info that it will be split.

Mehdi

Really eh ? so they'll do something like a mid season finale and then go on break for a few months ? or weeks ? Indeed that would work out nicely for me, would be so nice to be fully caught up and then watch along with everyone when it returns for the second half. I just hope they don't give you all the most major case of blue balls with a potential Mid-season finale XD

FILMBuFF

looks like season 3 might be a split cour, im so sad :( but that means Im could catch up while there's a break

Im, can't wait for you to catch up to AOT! Goosebumps from me <3

Mehdi

I honestly wonder how many frames that were used in this shot. You should have kept in the part where he enters the bar. That was a cool way to end the scene.

Yeh man it’s suspended at the moment, working on getting it unsuspended. The FA got butthurt over a 4 second clip of players hugging each other in celebration of a goal.... 😑

FILMBuFF

Was your twitter account suspended or something? It doesn't exist anymore

GeorgeYTG

Such an awesome little moment of animation and kick-assery. Also, stellar reactions again. I've never cared about videos where people watch something and scream their lungs out at moments where they know their audience want reaction (exaggeration for example's sake), but it's entertaining to watch someone's take of series that they seem to be as invested in as you are and they really pay attention to.

Arthur

I remember you wanting more Levi action for next season in your 2x12 post-discussion. Well...

Seeing this chapter get animated was so unreal to me. It's been over 4 years since it was released, so to see that they put this much effort into this scene is amazing. And the scene with Levi and Kenny in the bar was always one of my favorites as well. Such a different feel and yet so good.

RaijinCloud

I hope they keep this animation for some moments in the second half of the season

Raykel

Studio wit never disappoint when comes to Levi's action scene, the female titan battle in S1, going God mode in OVA and now this👍

this scene made me hit puberty

The soundtrack was epic too. kenny the ripper track. Lol I am in love with this too and watched it on daily basis past month. btw i have this scene down to science and the actual tracking begins a second or two earlier when he jumps from one wall to other..Lol

Silver

What a scene 🙌🏼

Mehdi

Yeah hundreds of drawings for this

Mehdi

I heard it took one month to animate it. Not quite sure ,saw comments on the official page on fb. Pretty amazing
