Tbh with ya, I never notice any 3D CGI animation at all

true the CGI sucked, but I don't watch AoT for its animations, I watch it for its story and the how much deep it goes... So I will like AoT even when they turn human beings to CGI..

wait i never knew the reason. why did they have mappa take on aot instead? was it budget?

I was expecting a good 2D animation from MAPPA (just you have to see what they are doing in Jujutsu Kaisen, it's a really good animation), I'm disappointed that they used 3D animation for the armored titan and the beast titan, as you say, Wit Studio only used it for the colossal titan and it was not 100% CGI, they were switching between 2D and 3D depending on the scene. From what we saw in this first episode, MAPPA used 3D all the time for whatever moves smart titans did.

That's the things I didn't like at the moment, but I liked the rest of the animation and colors.
I hope MAPPA improves that aspect in future battles where Titans appear.

The thread "Attack On CGİ" and it's comments have been merged into this thread.

You can view the merged thread's body below:

I'm also a manga reader and the CGI ain't even THAT bad at all, in fact id say its good. Obviously, i have some complaints here and there but its not that bad and i think MAPPA has done a great job, especially the Warhammer vs Eren fight which was great.

As much as the production quality is the worst for the series, i wouldn't say its BAD. I'l wait it out for now and see if it becomes better at the end.

" ELDIAN SOLDIERS CGI this like sucks"
Some shots were off, but the Mikasa scenes were top tier cgi usage for this medium imo.

"I really dont love CGI and people say "TheY haVE onLY 6 MOnThS iTs gOOd" I dont want a series like Attack On Titan this shitly 10 fps animations" It was definitely more than 10 frames per second.. Have you seen what 10fps looks like? Not trying to be rude, im actually curious.

"but this CGI making anime cringly remember when S1 Attack Titan closing wall with rock how everyone hyped in that scene or Levi vs Kenny Squad there is no CGI And its very very good" Levi vs Kenny Squad and Levi vs Beast were done by a freelancer, not by wit studio. Actually, a lot of their high budget action scenes you see for AOT are done by him.

" when Eren punchs Warhammar titan like TINK TINK TINK Like Hardened Titan punchs Iron Bars." Yeah, different types of armor usually make a clanging sound when they bash together.

" i can wait for 2 years WIT make new S4 with hand draw and WIT`s draw style... its big disappointment."
Wit doesnt decide the production schedule, if they picked it up it would of been cgi because they would of been forced to animate it within the same amount of time as mappa ontop of a pandemic.

Dont worry about your english, its fine just try to put periods and commas so people dont have a hard time reading your posts.

yeah they only had 10 months. i hope you realize that they cant animate all of those titan fights in 5 minutes. it takes over a month to animate a single episode. be grateful we are even getting a season 4.

The CGI's fine.

So true !!!

Then don't watch it

Didn't even notice (most) of the CGI, criticism is necessary but for the love of God, the CGI is GOOD. Did you also complain about the colossal titan in previous seasons? This is a huge improvement, please stop bitching.

MANGA art also isn't the best.

oh no, it's a war thread

i actualy enjoy the cg ( it has flaws obviously)

I haven't seen above episode 3, but I saw some clips on youtube and it looked....bad. It is still not a reason for how the community(the toxic ones anyway) has been harassing MAPPA staff on twitter though. It was unavoidable for them to use CGI and not even that surprising since this adaptation was rushed by the committee. I am not a manga reader but I can't imagine this ending in 16 episodes.

I'm not sure what is your intention with this topic?

CGI costs way more than hand-drawn animated scenes and they're tight on the time because of covid.

No studio was brave enough to take up the project because of the expectations and haters that was gonna come with (like you example) so there wasn't any choice at all, MAPPA was the only one who wanted to take it.

You are one of the many who hates the CGI, some are way worse who actually harasses the actual staff working on anime. Don't take the anime for granted, staff works with sweat and blood to make it for you then you just pirate it from some illegal site, end up writing about how you dislike the CGI and are disappointed. That's moronic.

Yeah, in all honesty, the animation and CGI for this season has been disappointing. I think Eren's model is the worst one, probably because he has long hair (which looks very bad in CGI) and his eyes look kinda dead, I was expecting them to glow like the Beast Titan's. Then again, we're in the middle of a pandemic and the studio had very little time because of the production schedule that they were given. If I'm not mistaken, the animators wanted to release it till later this year, but the production committee didn't allow it.

It's a shame, because it could've been so much better if they were given more time. Still, all the staff over at MAPPA have a lot of passion for the project and I'm really grateful that they're making it, since we wouldn't have gotten a final season at all if it weren't for them (no other studio wanted to pick AoT up because of the horrible schedule). Although the animation leaves a lot to be desired, the story is still there and that's the thing that is most important to me.

The Final Season is yet another victim to the anime industry, so I hope this incident can highlight a bit of the extremely poor way it currently works and, in the future, make higher ups of other projects think a bit more when making schedules.

Man, if you think that this CGI is bad, then you haven't seen a bad CGI yet. trust me. And also Mappa > Wit Studio (if we're talking about art style), fight me lmfao

it could have been a lot of things- could have been worse, could have been better
i'm still enjoying it very much even with the CGI and as a manga reader i'm pretty satisfied

ugh

not this shit again

Is this satire? Reads a lot like it. Especially the comment on Mappa's Sasha.

Attack on Worst Fandom

The CGI is fine. Be grateful that we're even getting a season 4.

-
Studio WIT didn't want to do S4 so they dropped it. Out of all the studios MAPPA was the only studio that actually picked the anime up, you have to respect them for that.

If you hate the animation just don't watch it. You already know what's gonna happen cuz you've read the manga. The animators are already having a hard time with the on-going pandemic, with animating jujutsu kaisen and Time crunching. On top of that, they're dealing with death threats just because y'all are getting mad that they didn't use the right ost or CGI. Give them a break.

Still, remember what the Colossal titan looked like?

Do you really want this.....

over this?

Be grateful that you're even getting a season 4 otherwise, just don't watch it and go re-read the manga

This post is essentially every bad animation take wrapped into one. Idk how people can post this type of stuff and think they said something coherent or intelligent.

There is a reason people like you are the ones watching the anime and not helping create it. Clearly you don't understand how it's not as easy as one click of a button to make good CGI, especially under the current conditions of the world. Just go back to being a loser like every other AOT manga reader lmao.

I would rather wait much longer if it means not watching this god awful CGI... I hate it when people say we should be thankful because they had little time to work on it or whatever lol. Is it really worth it for people not waiting long enough and getting a shitty product? What a shame.

the cgi was revolting. this episode was an ovverated peice of shit in terms of animation quality.
as for the plot, very good as expected. this studio change is such a shame, I honestly think I may drop this and switch to the manga.

The CGI actually looks really good when compared to most action-packed CGI anime (Berserk, Kingdom, Aijin, Kengan Ashura, etc.)

You should be thanking mappa for picking it up, because kodansha set that absurd deadline, a global pandemic messed up all of the anime industry, WIT studio didn't want to produce it, since they were working on Great Pretender already and mappa was the only studio willing to do it. They have some of the best CGI uses in the industry, compareble to the likes of ufotable and KyoAni. And since the deadline was so short, any studio would've used CGI. So it was either this or no S4. I had some problems with the animation too, some soldiers looked kinda off (ep 1 and 6) and some titans could look better (Beast Titan and Attack Titan), but overall it is still an above average production.
