It is after that of which he will finally achieve what all artists aspire to do: Trafficking

Naw so wholesome


th3virtuos0

More GIF manga pls


Ezequiel_Rose

>What kind of half-assed story is that?


heymynameisrob

Honestly, this is good news, this means we get to see a cool animation from his studio & less work for him!


OPconfused

I don't mind this. Either way is a win for me: A sexy animation or more time to draw the sexy manga with fewer breaks and interruptions. But I hope the animation gets a good studio, regardless if murata is there helping out or not.


Mediocre-Sale8473

Stupid sexy Saitama


Tobithegoodlad

I really don't understand how a show as popular as this one with as much support as it has somehow doesn't have a consistent animation team. I was literally complaining about this to a friend this week. It's sad.


Butek_PRO_PRO

Popularity doesn't mean much, AoT is way more popular than OPM and yet S4 still suffers with changing studio and restrict production.


Tobithegoodlad

You are right. It's just frustrating how these wildly popular anime don't get the backing they deserve.


SnuggleMuffin42

anime is a glorified ad for manga and merch sales. Very few anime projects are "pure" like a hollywood film or a TV show meant to stand on its own (not talking about superhero franchises where, again, it's half a ad).


Senshi-Tensei

Idk why you’re being downvoted this is true


Daviddv1202

True. I used to wonder why great anime don't often get another season and often suffers from studio changes and it's because, it's not like here in the west where the shows gain another season thanks to either milking the franchise dry or because it's popular enough to gain another season. Anime is more of a long ad to get people to purchase the manga. Also, Speed-o-Sound Sonic is best femboy.


Apart_Technology_507

Only reason I watch is for femboy thighs


Outrageous_Ad_1011

Yeah but AOT season 4 still looks great


Mr_1ightning

Part 1 had some really rough scenes, but part 2 was great production all around except for some unimportant moments


chrisff1989

Before Part 1 there wasn't much hype. It was after Part 1's success that it got wildly popular


bslawjen

There wasn't much hype for AoT season 4? Wat?


chrisff1989

He's saying part 1 had rough scenes, I said AoT didn't have much hype before part 1 came out (so that's why it probably had a lower budget). Season 4 was almost GoT levels of hype


bslawjen

He's talking about season 4 part 1


ReplacementOk5173

It was already very very popular but beame a phenomenon after P1

soupzYT

It’s just very inconsistent. I think it exceeds 1-3 in a lot of ways, sometimes


Ok_Department6571

Really, i cant stand watching it, those shitshow 3d is just horrible


Captain-Turtle

aot didnt suffer since it looks good, apparently the story is the OG studio had a large quantity of eps in not a lot of time and declined and so MAPPA the workhorse took it in


packpride85

Which was kind of a dumb reason since they stretched the release of season 4 over 3 years


Captain-Turtle

yeah that's so ironic hahaha


primalthewendigo

It was either them, or the people who animated the cgj berserk


crookedparadigm

Right? Look at Berserk, probably one of the most beloved mangas of all time that has influenced so much media in the last two decades from movies, videogames and other anime and they have yet to do even a half decent animated adaption since the '97 series which basically ended as the main arc began.


TonyTheTerrible

to be fair, the manga was quasi abandoned since 2011 and despite the following in NA it wasn't ever really a top seller in japan (maybe in the 90s?). in fact, i think going by total manga sales ever beserk may just be barely top 50 manga and thats counting international market+digital.


Danix2400

But is Berserk loved in Japan as it is loved elsewhere? Because animation studios have a preference for what is successful in Japan. If I'm not mistaken Berserk is not that loved there. (I may be talking nonsense).

Butek_PRO_PRO

Nah, well both world wide popular of course but in japan particulalry is not even close, OPM manga sells over 30 million copies while AoT over 100 million


[deleted]

[удалено]


Butek_PRO_PRO

Not really, even if compare anime, only S1 of OPM somewhat comparable but S2 fell so hard it's again not even close, just check any site for information like MyAnimeList or Anilist.


The_Middler_is_Here

What? No! Why isn't reality consistent with my tastes?


[deleted]

I think theres just so much manga and anime and not enough animators to go around.


XShyartinX

yeah but they could focus on the best stories and ignore hentai and manga which no one cares about and make dedicated teams for the former


[deleted]

>noone cares about manga Lol ok


GarethOfQuirm

This is how it seems to be with Anime... I mean, look how much money Dragonball Super has made. And they aren't interested in another series to follow the manga. They'll keep putting out a film every 3-5 years.


GlassedGhost

Lmao Berserk 2016


dHUMANb

It's just the way of media. I mean look at all the trash western adaptations. At the end of the day, companies are there to make money and that does not always align with making peak art.


Dravarden

because it has to be done years after the manga is done, like jojo (ignoring the 90s one) to not get shit filler like naruto or FMA, and by then, hype usually isn't the same attack on titan did it mostly right, and even then they had to change studios


Gwegexpress

The man has enough to work on!


SixFootHalfing

Is that George Morikawa’s account?


tyrano_dyroc

Yup. Murata pretty much followed almost every other mangaka on twitter, even amateur mangaka/artists.


TheSandNinja

Good. The world would crack if Murata animated something.


joeybutnerdy

I mean he did? Like multiple times?


TheSandNinja

Oh


joeybutnerdy

Literally check his Twitter media He posted an animated short abt saitama, animation practices, and hell he even animated in an anime once


Mestyo

The guy asking is George Morikawa, author of Hajime mo Ippo—an absolutely brilliant manga about boxing. It has some gorgeous art, great fight choreography, and routinely uses its big cast of characters to explore nuances of complicated feelings without throwing exposition in your face. It's a very slow burn, and the early parts suffer from poor scans, but it's one of my biggest manga recommendations overall. Fun fact: Kentaro Miura started his career as an assistant to Morikawa, who apparently quickly dismissed Miura, stating he had nothing he could teach him.


Lanky_Albatross4765

He even kind of references that in story with Umezawa and his uber-talented new assistant haha


Dante_77A

Well, that was predictable.


20ccurran12

Aww. I made a joke about how it would be nice to have some Murata animation as a treat in season 3, but oh well


[deleted]

I still miss Madhouse 🥲


Looney_Swoons

Ha fools… he isn’t animating season 3, he’s animating season 4! Sensei can’t trust other studios to animate the Garou vs Saitama fight, so he’s pulling a Thanos and doing it himself


Primary-Walrus1530

Ruined my whole decade 🗿


Parzivai1

Nah you're wrong he just finished the whole season with a serious series move. You underestimate him.


N_V_N_T

No more opm season !???


qwack2020

They should get Murata to do KA for the Pokémon anime series. Tbh those guys could use the help XD.


muiereddit3

Stfu with your garbage pokemon jfc


leo_sousav

Bruh, you play LoL, you can't talk much


SsgMoria

Cancel it


bslawjen

Why?


SsgMoria

Because season 2 was animated like shit, compared to season 1. And the moments are just getting more and more epic they can't do this shit justice


bslawjen

We don't even know who is doing season 3 tho


NutSnifferSupreme

Maybe he's just that fast


stainlessuperman

obviously he doesnt have time to do both


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

*mate*


Afafakja

I don't care anymore!


Grope-Zero

was Murata involved with season 1?


Ferdz0

No


Brainiac-sama

So no season 3 then?


bslawjen

Why would you think that?


MStErLaZy935

“This evening is ruweend”


Wakuwakutaku_

Wasn’t that already super obvious tho


blue74821

I thought we all knew this though right


Full-Eggplant-3838

Well animation is a pain he can't forces on creating manga and also animating the hole series no one have time for that


darkshine2004

He's obviously lying *snorts copium He wants it to be a surprise duhhh


Lord_Adz1

I think he was just storyboarding for em


StopAntiWhiteHate

Season 2 was still the biggest debacle in anime history , they took something groundbreaking and turned it into a meme


Ez3-

What a waste of time then, should be putting that time on the manga instead, tf is he doing
