Mappa did not shoot the charm of the original "Attack on Titan", it must be an excellent animation, but if compared with the third season of "Giant", especially the first half, the gap between Mappa's production is obvious. The difference is not the difference in picture quality, but how to understand the charm of the work "Giant", how to split the mirror, step on the points and score the music. To put it directly, Wit understands "Attack on Titan" better than Mappa, whether it is the soundtrack of Sawano Hiroyuki, or the choice of storyboards and scene switching, as detailed as the foreshadowing of the climax, the capture of the characters' movements, and even some of the characters in the climax. Controlling the rhythm of the monologue, Wit captured the essence of the original. Typical examples are "Reiner Betrayal" and "Captain Erwin's Sacrifice". Explain from specific cases. As far as the declaration of war in the Marais is concerned, this may have become the magic pen of the giant series. In the original work, the shock of the declaration of war is no less than that of "Giant Hits the Wall", "Reiner's Mutiny" and "Erwin Charge". In the foreshadowing part, Mappa is still relatively restored to the comics. The disadvantage is that it is too bland and the transition is blunt, but it has paved the way for four episodes. When the war is declared, the problem of Mappa's production is not dull, but the rhythm point and soundtrack are completely wrong, Reiner's kneeling. Too fast and too stiff. When Allen turned into a giant and disturbed the Dyba family's speech, this part could have used the variation of "Reiner Betrayal Divine Comedy", even if it was just bass and bass combined with drums, but Mappa did not, but chose to compare In the blunt camera switching, when the attacking giant wants to devour the speaker, it does not take advantage of the animation to show the actions of the devoured people in fear and the demeanor of the residents, but only colorize the black and white comics. The advantage of this paragraph is the restoration of the original work, at least most of it is still preserved. If it is measured by ordinary production, the Marais chapter is definitely an excellent work. The declaration of war will make it unexpected for people who have not seen the original work of giants, but the disadvantage is that, It still handles in a relatively routine way, which is expected, and loses the charm of the original giant in rhythm and music. It can't give people a feeling of goosebumps all over the table, but that is the characteristic of the "magic strokes" in the first three seasons of the giant, such as "Reiner's Betrayal", "Erwin Charge", the words can not fully explain, You can find out by comparing the video. This makes the Marais chapter only above the standard line, but unfortunately cannot become the first gear of the famous scene of "Giant". This gap is not a matter of intention. It is purely about how to grasp the original work and the technical level. It is not about anti-war, and you can pay for mistakes in rhythm points and soundtracks. The spirit of the third season of "Giant" also has anti-war, "Giant" The more shocking the famous scene is, the more memorable it is. The place where you are extremely afraid will have more stamina. The burning of "Giant" is prepared for the ashes. It’s not wrong for Mappa to want to be anti-war, and it’s not wrong to want to shoot the absurdity of war, so the idea is not the problem, the problem is that he doesn’t have a deep enough grasp of the charm of the original work, and Wit does it better. So it's a pity that Wit dropped out of the final season production.
