The first episode of Attack of the Giants 4 is available on VVVVID is Prime Videoand finally, fans can begin to express their opinion on the work of MAPPA. Despite being busy with Jujutsu Kaisen, Taiso Samurai and in the middle of a pandemic, the animators seem to have done a great job, but how do they relate to WIT Studio?

As you will have noticed after the premiere, The MAPPA style is more faithful to the manga, with dark colors and a character design almost identical to Hajime Isayama’s. The color palette used by the team has a “grime” feel that goes well with the main themes of the first episode, namely war and death. In contrast, when using CGI, the public was split in half, with some criticism reserved for the giant animal’s somewhat awkward movements.

WIT Studio, on the other hand, could certainly count on better designed action scenes thanks to the fabulous storyboards from the Art Department team. At the moment it is difficult to summarize as we haven’t had the opportunity to admire Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi or the three-dimensional movement devices in the first episode, but in general the impression is like that The quality level of WIT Studio is still difficult to achieve.

However, many fans have stated that they prefer the style of MAPPA, maybe a little rougher but extremely satisfying in the fight scenes. Specifically, Many users praised Reiner and Zeke’s entry, thanks to the soundtrack made by phenomenal Kota Yamamoto and the legendary Hiroyuki Sawano.
