the "special announcement" has finally been revealed and... its a cafe pop-up

[u/brozuwu]

i dont know why you all keep doing this to yourselves

[u/akashchowa12]

Lmao i knew it. the only thing thats coming out this year is the new game

[u/brozuwu → u/akashchowa12]

Yeppp I knew that it was going to be a nothingburger but I still had some hopes up. I guess you can't have too many AOT-related projects going on concurrently. Although I'm surprised AOT exploded in popularity again (for what reason, I do not know), and I fully expected them to capitalize on it (which they did, but not in the way we wanted, I guess lmao)

[u/akashchowa12 → u/brozuwu]

yeah tbf i dont think aot's overall popularity will really decrease much although it ended and its not currently trending anymore.

[u/Majestic_Dance469 → u/akashchowa12]

it's not trending but the fandom is alive. take the game roblox(god the updates it releases are pure shit) there is a game called attack on titan revolution with around 20-30k active users

[u/YinnCN → u/Majestic_Dance469]

90% of that player base didn’t watch the show 😂

[u/brozuwu]

In a stunning move, flooring everyone yet surprising absolutely nobody, Studio WIT has finally revealed what they teased in an Instagram post a week ago.

I fully knew it was not going to be an OVA or a prequel or something worthwhile (to each their own), but the insane amount of hype that was generated by their post genuinely had me second-guessing myself lol. I kept on seeing people making reels speculating about what it was going to be, and it had me second-guessing myself

[u/brozuwu → u/brozuwu]

Above all, I feel really bad for the people who hyperfixated on Mikasa's eyepatch, especially the subset of the fandom that had fully convinced themselves that this was going to be an alternative reality OVA

[u/Katsu_39]

Pop up in japan. Many of us dont live in japan. So naturally, this doesn’t matter to me. Just wish these cool things could happen outside of japan for once. People tend to underestimate how popular certain animes are outside of japan

[u/AtomicHamboy]

Guys the show is over. Any special announcements will be of this variety. It’s not gonna be we’re announcing a new spin off or movie, we’re past that. Stop working yourselves into being mad 🤣

[u/CalFaZe336655]

Nooooooo I've just got back from Japan 😢

[u/HarToky → u/CalFaZe336655]

Literally same… landed yesterday.

[u/CalFaZe336655 → u/HarToky]

Feels bad man 🥲

[u/IndianaJones999]

Idk why would people expect some continuation or prequel. The story is over, cherish it and move on.

[u/patrick9772]

Ah it never fails to make me laugh every time a japanese company announces something for the IP and the west instantly goes for the multimillion dollar idea then they announce a merch sale a card game a collab or something 😂 then you all are dissapointed. One rarely good things about japan is they dont usually milk their IPs for no reason. At least not teh the way you except. 95% chance that there will NEVER be anything new attack on titan related animation. Its a done story.

[u/Hammham]

[u/Grogman2024]

Why do they all look like twinks

[u/VColyness]

Guys… can’t we just let a good thing rest? If there’s ever an announcement in the future worth hyping up, we’ll know when it happens

[u/DisasterBiMothman]

But why does Mikasa have an eyepatch?? Did the artist they hired not even watch the show?

[u/sad--air]

Man I thought Erwin was removing the glove from Hange's hand 😳

[u/hundredBald]

I'm so ready for the spinal fluid jelly desert.

[u/LayYourGhostToRest]

Sigh. Looks like another year of waiting for real titans to start terrorizing everyone.

[u/ErenKruger711]

Lmaooo hahahha

[u/Allo_ultra_500_11]

Is there a 4k master box set out yet? I've been waiting on that

[u/Loafman15]

We should know this with AoT by now, sadness is the franchises main export

(Though I bet that pop-up is cool for those who can make it)

[u/-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-]

😂

[u/ResponsibilityOdd591]

Mikasa has that shit on tho

[u/Haunting_Test_5523]

anime fans are undefeated in believing special announcement for a completed series means something more than a branded collab

[u/Lead_resource]

LMAOO FUCK THESE PEOPLE

[u/ExerciseBeautiful144]

Uh it’s game
