These last episodes are going to be peak.Meanwhile, other fans can see why the animation studio may have made such a decision, as the final fight has a lot of difficult scenes, that could be giving the animators a hard time. This may be the reason why they are splitting the anime into two halves, for more time to work on it.nao@friieren@AoTWiki They are working so hard for fans to enjoy, we will be waiting. #ThankYouMAPPA48@AoTWiki They are working so hard for fans to enjoy, we will be waiting. #ThankYouMAPPA https://t.co/mk7RzHdLDOBusterSwordUser@BusterSwordUser@AoTWiki Sad, but understandable.

I want what's best for their animators.While fans were easily angry at MAPPA for making such a decision, they were all empathetic towards the animators as they knew that they were being overworked with too many projects piled up one after the other.Thus, they understand if the anime were to be further delayed, but the fact that MAPPA is splitting the anime instead has confused fans as to why the animation studio would rather not release the whole anime together at a later date.Nevolia0ig | 3,3@Nevolia0ig@AoTWiki1324@AoTWiki https://t.co/jy4Kli97LzMuhammad Saddam Zikri@saddam_zikri@AoTWiki So final season is divided by 3 parts and the 3rd part divided by 2 parts ? ....

The fact that the studio had Chainsaw Man, Jigokuraku: Hell's Paradise, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, Vinland Saga season 2, and Attack on Titan final season all line up one after the other doesn't help MAPPA's case, as it just speaks volumes on how money-hungry they might be.Final thoughtsTruth be told, there might be a good reason as to why MAPPA has decided to split Attack on Titan final season part 3 into two halves. The fact that they addressed the issue along with the release date must mean that they must have predicted fans' outrage about the same, but the situation might have been unavoidable.With there being only nine remaining chapters in the manga, for now, one can interpret that the final part is set to be only two movie-length episodes long, which is why they couldn't release them together.
