I was reading a Reddit thread on it and apparently, that's not a good thing. I thought my computer was fucked up when watching the end credits song of the 'The Night of the Battle.' episode but apparently other people had similar issues when watching it.Ībout the production of Attack on Titan.Īpparently this last episode had like 52 animators on it. Not much happened in 'The Night of the Battle.' but I enjoyed the characters discussing and theorizing about Grisha Jaeger's motives and what's outside the walls.It adds some additional mystery and atmosphere to the story. It left out some stuff from the manga, like Keith noting that there was an unusual lack of Titan activity in the area when he found Grisha wandering outside the walls. The moment when Grisha has his back to Keith and is leading Eren into the woods was perfect. I was worried it was going to be crappy animation and voice acting like the Grisha/Rod Reiss revelation, but no, it was great. The previous one with Keith Sadies telling how he first met Grisha was great. I'm sticking with the manga only from now on. Maybe they should have stayed at 12 episodes if the quality was going to go down this much. The whole thing felt rushed and not dramatic at all. This scene and the previous one had static stills combined with brief, poorly animated scenes. Then we found out that Eren ate his own father. This should have been epic looking, just like every single appearance of the Female Titan/Annie's titan. It looked like some Saturday morning cartoon animation from the 80s. They managed to make the introduction of Titan-ized Grisha and Frieda, and their battle look dull. In this episode though, they must have run out of budget or saving it for later in the series because it was poorly animated. The scenes are in motion, dramatic music, etc. So far, just about everything in the anime has been done better than it was in the manga. We also see Frieda Reiss's Titan form for the first time, and a brutal battle between the two. We find out that Grisha was a titan, and get to see his Titan form for the first time. This chapter, in the manga, was portrayed very dramatically.
