| Mm, decent voice castings. I still have mixed thoughts on the animation style of the movie though. |
 |
| The preview looks great, good cast as well. Edit: A lot of people seem to be disliking the art/animation, I think it's ok though. |

| After watching the trailers can't say I'm too hyped for these movies. Probably watch them anyway just so I can see the old man in action XD |
 |
| I like the voice cast and the PV but I still hate the animation style. |
| Looking forward to a new era of pure CGI animation as long as it will evolve more in the future. Of course, I am not thinking of purely computer-genrated images, but with also some assistant of hand-drawn methods. IMO Ajins in CGI would look beast! |
| "I'm just your typical human being who commit sins just like you. But the difference is that I never lied and tell anyone that what I did was right. I regret and ask for forgiveness from Him." Why is my signature not anime-related? It's because who gives a fuck? Anyway I'd like to advertise to you this: SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN IS FOLLOWING A SIMPLE FLOW OF THE STORYLINE. AND IT GETS REPETETIVE IF YOU VIEW IT ON ITS BIGGER PICTURE. WITH A LITTLE PLOT TWIST AND NEW IDEAS, YOU FORGOT THAT IT HAD ALREADY HAPPENED BEFORE. Also, Tokyo Ghoul is AWESOME. Especially :re. |
| seems like a CGI-fest |
  |
| Urgh i was so happy the manga gets an adaptation but after seeing the visual i feel less enthusiastic. I just hope it won't be as ugly as God Eater. |

| That's fairly quick, given that this wasn't even announced all that long ago. It's a shame that the CGI kinda ruins it, but it still looks better than God Eater. |
| The manga is still ongoing? I might as well skip the movies... |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
random said: Watching this for Mamoru Miyano. |
 |
| I like everything, excpet not much about the Art Style! BUT!!! That is also what i said to God Eater, and it turned out being very Unique,and suited the whole anime of it. Sooo, i hope it turns out the same when i watch it! |

| I'm probably gonna stick to picking up the manga to be honest. |
 |
| Not really feeling the animation style but i'm still looking forward to this. |
 |
| Ugh CGI... |
 |
| Ugh... why is it in god awful 3d? The art style of the manga is so beautiful and this looks like shit. |
| You can tell this is as low budget as it comes. ugly cgi is ugly. |
 |
| BLEEUUURRGRHHH |
| So cg animation is cheaper than 2d? |
| Somehow, I think the animation style will fit to the movie format |
| ow..from sidonia's animators..i dont like it tho..but maybe the story is interesting |
| First volume of the manga was kind of bad, quite boring. |
 |
| Ehh CGI?? |
 |
