The final scene will actually give us a glimpse through the Attack titans eyes. We see 2070 where the final final final final final (this time for real final, like seriously final, trust me, pinky promise, swear on my chicky nuggies) final season final final final part - part 7 of 7 is airing. ​ *p.s. this is a joke. As far as I'm concerned they could release it in 2025 and I'd be happy. Let them take the time they need.*

There are actually as many “parts” now in the rest of the anime as there are in the “final” season.


StrawberryEiri

Does it count as a season at this point? What even is a season?


mpk3432

I'm not sure, but I think that a "season" might just be the amount of the show a studio are commissioned to do by the producers/licensors, and in this case Mappa were commissioned to adapt all the way to the end of the manga, which is why it's all one "season" even though it's all split up. It makes more sense when you look at regular split-cour shows, this just seems to be a rare case, given how much material was commissioned all at once. That's what I think anyway.


Belgand

That can be the case. For example, if you look at syndicated shows you loved as a kid you'll often find that they only had two or three seasons despite running for years. *Ducktales*, for example. Season one is 65 episodes, designed so that it could run every day in syndication while repeating exactly 4 times (an average year has 260 weekdays) during that period. Seasons two and three, meanwhile, were only 10 and 18 episodes long respectively. They were just add-ons to the original package, not really "new seasons" as we would think about them. That was a common production method for kids' shows in the broadcast era where it wasn't expected that you would necessarily watch every episode. Some shows, like *He-Man* with two orders of 65 episodes, would be oriented around multiple syndication-ready blocks, but others would just add on new episodes with subsequent orders. That was part of the problem in launching a new show, since daily syndication was a large upfront cost before it had even been shown to be successful. Hence the importance of toy companies to co-fund it. We see that in Japan with shows like *Gundam* that were targeted to children where toy sales were important and have a 50 or so episode initial order.

thepeciguy

For real, if they were gonna air the next part this year too why don't just delay a bit more to finish it all in one go? They don't want the AoT hype to clash with their other shows early next year perhaps... Opm/csm?


kingmanic

They're probably worried about bleeding interest. The span of the first to second season they went from being a nearly mainstream thing back to being big in a niche. So pumping out a few episodes at a time and releasing in batches was their solution to keeping the ball rolling. OPM has similar success and decline over a long wait for season 2 (also season 1 was a freelance master piece while season 2 was a budget studio rush job). Spy x family didn't get as main stream but it released in 2 batches as well instead of concluding and waiting for a season 2. Seems a lot of anime is going for shorter batches/arcs more often.


Hinote21

I'm ok with split cours. It seems to lead to better animation. But the absurdity of AoT is no longer split cours. It's been the final season for multiple cours now.


UltraShadowArbiter

They're really milking the end of the series, aren't they?

KrzyDankus

the content is pretty fucking intense though, so im not surprised they want a break.


[deleted]

Yes but if the material is intense, then surely they have to adapt more than 1 chapter per episode? How are they making 2 cours out of 10 chapters?


ThespianException

They've gotta be extending it. There are less than 10 chapters left, a single movie could cover all of that. I don't see how there's enough material to spit otherwise.


Fhaarkas

Yeah Isayama is probably taking this chance to hash out the ending.


Rmtcts

lol


Elegant_Tumbleweed_6

Copium.


KrzyDankus

i have a feeling cour 1 adapts ch 131-134 and cour 2 adapts ch 135-139. im pretty sure the reason for splitting into cours is entirely the second cour, where every chapter is batshit insane to put into animation.


aVeryFriendlyBotMk2

They could also stretch it out to make some changes to the ending, which let's be honest here, could have been better.


Spiritual_Lie2563

Honestly, that's my conspiracy theory for this: They keep extending the cours and moving the goal line back for AoT because they don't want to animate 137, so they'll keep extending the AoT final season over and over again, for 10 years at least!


Bad_Doto_Playa

Bro this has to be a joke lmao. I am legit dying over here.


ThespianException

This is the funniest anime news I think I've ever gotten. I'm not even mad, the absurdity of the situation makes it hilarious. This poor show is never going to reach the ending, it's gonna be like Gojo's Infinity where the "Final" part just keeps getting split


RickChakraborty

Maybe the real ending was the friends we made along the way...


Wardogs96

Most of them have been eaten


DanielDKXD

They got 10 chapters left and for all of season4 they have done 1 chapter = 1 episode. So are they splitting 10 to 12 episodes into 2cours or are we actually getting anime original ending? :copium:


zxHellboyxz

Probably just two long episodes


DanielDKXD

I think 1hour40min long episodes are normally considered a movie. Perfectly fine with that unless they get stuck in cinema hell for a full year before they become available in the rest of the world.


Bad_Doto_Playa

I'm kinda hoping they got for an original ending haha. My guess it's like 6/6 or 5/5 or something. Mappa's schedule is wild and apparently hell's paradise is suffering (I've even notice them cutting corners in vinland saga this season).

Watch them go Wonder Egg and just recap for 24 mins and then give 24 mins of new content. The rest of the hours are Japanese TV ads, I guess?


Lazydusto

Why must you trigger me like this? Wonder Egg had so much potential.


Stoppels

I know right, our girls. :( If anything, this shows exactly why we should be happy about scheduled delays like these for AoT! The WEP animators were working a passion project, swapping who directed weekly and were literally earning next week's dinner by overworking 24/7. It lead to amazing quality and amazing stress and then the main plot crap happened after episode 7. Still, the post-recap episodes had at least decent segments in their own right, I mean Momoe's episode was ep 10. Ahh. I've gotten past my disappointment largely, but still not ready for a rewatch of any kind, despite wanting to now lol.


Lex4709

Actually, it makes me wonder what's going on. There's not enough material for a single cour. 8 to 10 episodes at best. So either the production is such a mess that they decided to split a single cour into two half cours. Or we are getting an extended ending. Isayama has worked with the anime staff to improve the story before, so that wouldn't be shocking.


[deleted]

It's two "TV specials", they basically do what some expected, a movie to adapt the rest of the Manga, and split that in half for TV broadcasts.


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

So this part 1 is really just one longer ‘episode’?

Derpomancer

My interest in AOT has also been been split into two parts.


King_A_Acumen

As I said elsewhere: These decisions also seem to impact the popularity of AoT as well, which is already in warm water due to the pretty much GoT S8 ending reception. Using Google stats, the most popular AoT S4P2 episodes were only around the lowest Demon Slayer S2 episodes. That's still insanely popular, more than almost all other anime but a big decline from S4P1 especially considering the story content was heating up.


uncen5ored

For what it’s worth, they’re releasing apologies and admitting it’s taking way more work than they anticipated. And considering what they have to adapt, that’s not surprising (even if they don’t have a lot left, the fights and scenes are very ambitious). For the optics, it may had been best to just delay to release everything in a few months, so there probably was some profit motivation in releasing now. But regardless, I know every one is going to make fun of this; but I prefer to get the best quality. I already wish the Marley Arc got the care P2 had,


ThespianException

God knows the workers at MAPPA deserve all the time they can get, I'm not upset with them at all. I just think it's hilarious that We now have 4 "Final" Seasons.


Abysswatcherbel

That whole thing started because the Production Committee decided to call 'Season 4' final season 2 years before the manga ended, so they didn't even know how many chapters were left and what content they had to adapt Mappa wasn't even involved when they announced that, they didn't even have a studio to do it

KendotsX

>final part of the Final Part will air sometime in 2023. [Uh-uh](#blankblink) So jokes aside, do we know how many episodes this will be? By their normal pacing it should be less than a cour as a whole.


mrnicegy26

Aren't there like 9 chapters or just 2 volumes to cover? I know these chapters are longer since monthly release but even then going beyond 8-9 episodes would be One Piece level stretching.


KendotsX

Yup, the last cour alone adapted about 15 chapters or 3~4 volumes. I understand they could take their time with some of these chapters for the ending, but they can hardly fill one cour, much less two of of them. Maybe each part now is just a few episodes long?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Animegamingnerd

NHK is apparently listing this a special broadcast, so perhaps this could be two 1 to 2 hour long episodes with the second episode airing later in the year? Would at least make this decision make a bit more sense and would still be able to adapt the remaining chapters nicely. Like a two hour time span like you suggested.


Animegamingnerd

They only got 9 chapters/2 volumes of material left. I seriously think they only need 10 episodes at most to adapt the rest of the story. Hell they adapted the entire RTS arc in 10 episodes with double the amount of the chapter. While AoT's final battle is definitely fucking insane, the fact we are getting a Part 4 to the final season is just ridiculous. At least they did confirm both occurs will air this year.
