The most notable announcement was that the entire show would now be created at MAPPA instead of the team at WIT Studio. So let's recap what we've learnt and find out the 5 Things You Need To Know about Attack on Titan: The Final Season. WIT Studio dropping their most popular franchise might seem like a big shock. It was clearly a big money maker that helped establish the studio's brand. But that's not necessarily what the team wanted. WIT was developed as a way of creating new projects without having to be constrained to working on Production IG properties. They got lucky with Attack on Titan, but having to allocate so much time and resources to it meant that they couldn't proceed with new ideas. So it's likely the case that they passed the show over to be able to try new things. Funnily enough, MAPPA was also created with the premise of creating exciting original projects, but that seems to have mellowed in the last few years. Despite the show moving on, author Hajime Isayama has a lot of respect for the team at WIT Studio and has worked closely with the team for a long time to get this series out. On the Attack on Titan website, there's a post from the creators of the new and old seasons thanking each other and one from Isayama himself as well, thanking Director Tetsuro Araki, WIT Studio, and the “Animation corp.”, his name for the animators working on the show. He even drew this illustration thanking the staff. The new team is one built from the Dorohedoro team, including the director Yuichiro Hayashi and character designer Tomohiro Kishi. Directors changing is one thing, but character designers changing are going to be the most noticeable of changes. For example, even though the director stayed on between Log Horizon Season 1 and 2, the change of designer was seriously noticeable and turned a lot of fans off. Attack on Titan's aesthetic is kind of iconic, and character designer Kyoji Asano has even held exhibitions for his work on the show. It's gonna take a lot to get used to the change. However, one thing that will remain consistent is the writing. Screenwriters generally don't belong to animation studios, so writer Hiroshi Seko is continuing in production. He was the writer of the Lost Girls novel and also the screenwriter for several episode, but he's participating as series composition, essentially the person in charge of the scripts, for the Final Season. Back during the third season, mangaka Hajime Isayama was highly critical of the upcoming content and thought that that part of the manga was particularly slow. He approached Hiroshi Seko and they worked together to restructure the story so that it felt faster and more interesting. So we can be sure that the writer in charge of the Final Season is someone who Isayama trusts a lot. The show was initially slated for Fall of this year, although more recent announcements haven't mentioned the airdate. Usually, an animated trailer would mean the show's close to being done, but in fact, this was pre-animated. This means that the scenes in the trailer were specifically animated to be in the trailer and were created separately from the main show's production. The trailer was directed by Attack on Titan 3D Director and Vinland Saga director Shuhei Yabuta. So although the show likely won't all look as good as this trailer, hopefully, they end up using these stellar shots in the Final Season itself.
