The budget on each episode better be damn high...

What matters more is if they can keep a consistent production schedule. But its WIT Studio which has the tendency to taper off after the opening episodes. Not saying the show won't look good, but if it doesn't it won't be because of money.

 

[yanipheonu]

Honestly, I've seen enough crappy original endings and filler arcs to manga adaptations that I'm okay with them taking a break to actually have material to work with. People are too impatient.

 

[TheChaos0]

Excited but only 12 episodes... is disappointing. It's not like they are lacking in the source material.

 

[jett]

Will watch.

I wish I hadn't read some of the manga after S1 ended. My expectations story-wise are pretty low.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

The budget on each episode better be damn high...

Manpower + time/scheduling > Budget

 

[Solideliquid]

So will this be releasing every Saturday on HULU?

 

[GoldCrusader]

I just noticed , but great thread title.

I really wonder how well WIT will handle all these shows.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

So will this be releasing every Saturday on HULU?

Should be.

 

[Jigolo]

Goodness it's been so long since I've used crunchyroll. 3 months for $20 ain't bad. This and boku no hero season 2 for the next 3 months

 

[Merchandise]

Some crazy people told me Crunchyroll is free?! So on Saturday whenever the show releases I'll be able to watch it for free?!

For the first episode on another network as noted in the OP. If you don't mind waiting a week, the previous weeks episode will become free then.

I agree, I'd take them breaking it up as opposed to going for 3 years without more. In hindsight they should have done split cour for the first season so that there wouldn't be an insanely long gap

 

[Kaizer]

Man, this and My Hero Academia coming back tomorrow is bliss. I've read quite a bit ahead in both, so I'm excited to see them in action. So this is only going for 12 episodes? Have they said whether it's a 1-cour or 2-cour?

Just the 1

They'll be even more surprised once

monkey trouble's actual identity is revealed

, in like, 4 years from now when the anime finally catches up with the basement arc.

 

[Kaizer]

Just the 1

Mehhhhhh, okay. Sorta bummed on that note, but as long as they don't make us wait another 3 years for another season, I'm good. There's definitely enough material for a 2-cour if they wanted to though. Hopefully this helps with breaks for the show.

 

[cLOUDo]

any news on the new OP?

 

[GoldCrusader]

IT's fixed now.

 

[Arksy]

Oh wow this is actually happening, why did it take so long? Anime development hell? Studio strike?

 

[brickarts295]

I think people have issues with the episode count because they have more than enough manga content to cover a 24 episode season. Unlike with S1, in which by the time they finished, Isayama barely finished the arc that is getting adapted in S2.

Anyways, I hope this means we get a season per year now, the manga definitely seems like it's getting close to its final arcs.

 

[Cornbread78]

Very nice. Just finished S1 and looking forward to continuing on.

 

[Puruzi]

Bad show, will still watch tho because why not.

Next gen boredom awaits this season

 

[iBlue]

Do I need crunchyroll for this?

 

[Tuck]

Not even the better AoT opening, let alone the GOAT anime OP.

Second opening is garbage.

First opening is what got me into japanese music. GOAT.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Oh wow this is actually happening, why did it take so long? Anime development hell? Studio strike?

The production committee didn't have it made until now for whatever reason.

 

[ShadyK54]

'Attack on Titan Season 2' feels good to say. Been waiting awhile for this.

Love the first season & was caught up on the manga for a bit (I've since fallen behind & don't remember most important story bits), but I'm excited nonetheless.

 

[cDNA]

How long it took to the first season to get to Netflix?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

How many more seasons are expected after this, if any?

 

[Tagg9]

I'm hoping the simuldub comes out within a week. Funimation always does quality work in that regard.

 

[Hellwarden]

How many more seasons are expected after this, if any?

They could feasibly make 2-3 more seasons after this one.

We'll probably get more seasons, since AOT is big.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

12 episodes after four years?

Hot damn.

I'll still watch tho.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

We'll probably get more seasons, since AOT is big.

Oh wow, that many huh? For some reason I was thinking this was the final one!

 

[Relix]

Wait only 12 episodes? Or is it a cour?

 

[Barajas_201]

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Nope, there's a lot more left.

Wait only 12 episodes? Or is it a cour?

Just these 12 at current. I expect us to get another 12 next year, but thats not concrete.

They'll probably do this like Gintama.

 

[cryptosporidium]

Let us celebrate by listening to the GOAT anime OP:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dLqUADUNZ0

Man the entire strength and con class bac in HS used to listen to this while we worked out. good shit.

[KeyBladerXIII]

ALSO FEATURING - Potato Girl, Bert and Ernie, a girl made of crystal, Speed Weed, Based Erwin, Christa and Gay for Christa, The Skulls Parasite Unit, Marco’s Corpse, King Kong, The Basement and Jeans. Oh yeah and Connie.

Hey fuck you! The short little twat is my favorite.

Sooo, basement or no? I'm guessing no.

 

[kurahador]

I was expecting this season to be at least double of the first season episodes count to even cover half of the next manga materials. Oh well.

 

[Qvoth]

in just for the OST since i just can't hate samewano

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Connie? Ohhhh, you mean Krillin

 

[Narag]

[catpurrcat]

Signed up for Crunchyroll premium trial, $7 canadian after 2 weeks for anyone up north. If AoT season 2 is good, will keep it. Spent $7 on a sandwich today.

 

[J@hranimo]

Despite the 12 episodes, this season should be hype! Can't wait to see this arc animated.

 

[munchie64]

Bout time. I'm ready for some people eatin'.

 

[Defuser]

Oh nice the most overrated show second to Cowboy Bepop is finally here!

Wait, its only 1 cour? Despite a 4 year break? They got enough material to cover 2 cours.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

As a reader of the manga i can safely say everyone will love the beast titan

 

[AlimNassor]

Only 1 cour? 4 years for 1 cour? pathetic. Do they really want to kill AoTs popularity?

 

[Death Metalist]

Waiting for that blu.
