Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 key visual sparks outrage over Mappa's treatment of Mikasa

On Sunday, November 13, MAPPA revealed the new key visual for Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3. With the anime set to be released in 2023, fans were elated to receive new information on the anime. However, a good majority of fans were left disappointed by the key visual due to MAPPA's treatment of Mikasa.As MAPPA is doing a wonderful job with Attack on Titan, the fanbase has had a wonderful experience with WIT Studio for the first three seasons. Thus, when compared to WIT Studio, MAPPA's work on Attack on Titan: Final Season is often scrutinized by fans. One example of that is the criticism regarding Mikasa in the new key visual. Attack on Titan fans wanted MAPPA to emulate the manga covers of either volume 31 or 33🌈⟭⟬Unna⁷⟬⟭🌈|EMA|StillAlive|@alphacuiterHow are their hair defying gravityMAPPA YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE MIKASA FACE ERENTHE MANGA COVER WAS SO GOOD I WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED IF YALL LITERALLY COPIED THAT3How are their hair defying gravityMAPPA YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE MIKASA FACE ERENTHE MANGA COVER WAS SO GOOD 😖I WOULDN'T HAVE MINDED IF YALL LITERALLY COPIED THAT https://t.co/xElb0e5UF1With the announcement that a special event was set to take place for the anime, fans believed that they would finally get a Mikasa-centric key visual where she would be facing Eren, who is in his Founding Titan form.michaela@crimsonarminmappa when i ask them for a mikasa centric key visual4mappa when i ask them for a mikasa centric key visual https://t.co/0SnVskS40Vmeowmuna@mikasamybae1Mappa why is it so hard for yall to give us a Mikasa centric kv??23020Mappa why is it so hard for yall to give us a Mikasa centric kv?? https://t.co/HwFMjchhmwMany fans wanted MAPPA to emulate the manga covers of either volume 31 or 33, where Mikasa takes center stage as she looks at Eren.Fazan@MIKASACKERMANBFI’m really hoping for a key visual where Mikasa is looking at Eren827I’m really hoping for a key visual where Mikasa is looking at Eren https://t.co/WmrN05ZnF1Mikasa is set to play a huge role in Attack on Titan: Final Season Part 3, and thus fans believed that the new key visual should have been Mikasa-centric.

The only thing I can hope for is a Mikasa oneI’m generally not a hater and anyone who knows me knows I love almost everything MAPPA puts out but man is that key visual just hard to look at, it’s messy in what you’re trying to look at and the fire makes everything so much worse. The only thing I can hope for is a Mikasa oneEven if fans were to ignore MAPPA's treatment of Mikasa in the key visual, many did not like how the key visual looked in its entirety. People found it to be messy with the composition seeming completely out of proportion.Marie@TheNinjaSheeep@Maci_rambles Oh, yes, also that. I don’t understand why there’s no details in at least in Armin and Mikasa’s close up, they are in the center of the composition and the absence if details is so disappointing.@Maci_rambles Oh, yes, also that. I don’t understand why there’s no details in at least in Armin and Mikasa’s close up, they are in the center of the composition and the absence if details is so disappointing.They did not like the fact that despite Mikasa and Armin being given close-ups, their faces weren't detailed enough. As for the characters in the background, Jean and Connie were looking clear, when they should have looked a bit blurry due to having been placed far behind in the key visual. Thus, fans found the new key visual to be randomly designed and flat.QuickBinger5108@DaniyalUmair2Gotta admit, I really like this key visual but it does look a lot like a fanmade poster rather than an official one. In all honestly, I wish we got a recreation of the first Season's kv with Mikasa staring down Eren rather than Eren staring down Bert.
