As we all know, Attack on Titan is currently airing the part 1 of 4th season. The episodes, so far, have been well received, many even calling it the best season till date. Amidst the enthralling third and fourth episode that focused on the epic war between the Eldians and Marleyans, you can imagine the kind of tension that set in when fans learned about their favourite show's cancellation rumour. The rumour came to life when the show announced that it would be taking its mid-season break on Sunday, February 21, 2021, following the release of episode 11. But the seeds of these rumours were actually sown early January when the first episode of season 4 was broadcasted worldwide. Apparently, a minority of fans didn't like the animation of this season and decided to harass the members of MAPPA studios for the same. MAPPA studios recently took over the production from Studio WIT for its fourth season. It's obvious that this time around, Attack on Titan is going to be centred on more battles and less strategizing. In order to incorporate smoother action sequences as opposed to the original 3D models and layouts the show is used to having, MAPPA was called in to take the mantle. However, fans didn't take this decision well as they went onto express heavy criticism of the show's animation on social media. The criticism quickly turned into toxic hate as the staff were called out on multiple occasions and harassed incessantly. The fiery toxicity led to a staff member from MAPPA coming out to address the issue head-on. A Twitter fan page shared the English translation of the anonymous message. (repost) Hi！I've participated in Attack on Titan episode 66 as an Animator. Thank you for watching! I know most people loved the final season so far, but I also want to let those who weren't satisfied know that Mappa worked really hard day and night until it's released on TV.⬇ pic.twitter.com/5pM8SZNdWV — ヨウ🔶 (@jason2937tw) January 25, 2021 As for the answer to the question, no, the show will not be cancelling its run. However, fans are advised to be kinder and give the new production house a fair chance. Many fans came in support of MAPPA and expressed displeasure of the toxic fandom. Honestly I’m about to find every single person who was talking trash if this became true 😒😒😒 toxic fans be killing me. pic.twitter.com/8cF18M1cUQ — Jada (@jaah_daah) January 25, 2021 Thank you to everyone at #MAPPA studio for all the hard work you've poured out on #shingeki 💖 — hange for life (@exiledturtle) January 24, 2021 If they dont like it, why dont these people try animating it? They really dont know the struggles to make the lines THAT CLEAN! 95% of people have trouble making a single portrait of someone. These people need to stop hating on creators and grow up smh. — A Cinnamon Roll (@ACinnamonRoll3) January 23, 2021 Also Read - Attack On Titan Season 4 Episode 8 Release Date: Here Is What Fans Can Expect Also Read - Godzilla Vs Kong Franchise MonsterVerse Announces Anime Series 'Skull Island' With Netflix
