This just go to show you that there shouldn't be an excuse anymore for a studio to not do a sequel if they feel like continuing, but need the money. If that shit is popular, it should be easy to get enough fan support. Acquiring $190,000 in less than 2 days worth was cool to see. They don't even need to have a time limit. Just have a place available and then have as long as you need and once goal is reached, they can easily work on it and maybe pay people better if they get way above their goal.
Sure it's an issue to keep relying on it, but that's why they should place higher priority on current projects and then use the crowdfunding for side projects whenever they're on down time.

So it is CrunchyRoll being a cheapass, hiring a no-name 3D studio that has never done anything close to anime before to make an anime.

Then spent a season and half hyping up the Titans and the walls, but the ending to s3 felt bit underwhelming. Still very good show, but I was expecting something bit different. I don't know what to watch next. Any suggestions?? Something like Steins;Gate or Death note.

Well, it will make much more sense by the end of the series, which is very close to in the manga. So, don't miss the S4 next month!
I recommend Inuyashiki.

Still very good show, but I was expecting something bit different. I don't know what to watch next. Any suggestions?? Something like Steins;Gate or Death note. I thought S3 (especially Part 2) was the best thing about AoT from the intensity, to the action choreography, to the animation, to the progessive development of Eren, to some great moments like Erwin's speech As for recs. First off, I'm not exactly recommending it, it's just a FYI, Steins;Gate 0 is made, but this timeline is the Kurisu being gone so her presence in 0 is only in spurts and has only 1 episode dedicated completely to her Anyways, what people usually recommend after people watched Death Note is Code Geass. Lelouch has just as much drive as Light and there are similarities to their personality, but the rivalry dynamics that you get from Light vs L isn't as good with Geass because it's in a worldwide scale which could be more interesting as its between the nation of Britain and Japan. Plot twists galore if you like those too. Most people who don't like mecha still have a positive view of this show as they liked it not for the mecha element. If you want a rivalry as good as that, just that the intensity isn't as high and it really isn't a 1 on 1 thing where they commonly meet, but be behind leading, then Legend of Galactic Heroes OVA is good for that. This is more of a political focus between two polarizing ideologies though. Animation isn't spectacular, but the stories are one of the best in the medium. This one has classical music playing and it feels more like a visual audiobook in a really long manner. There is a remade version of Legend of Galactic Heroes (New Thesis). Designs aren't as good, but the rest of the visuals are fantastic. It's a little more faster paced (it doesn't build as well as its previous works but it executes better later down the road) and it's not done adapting as there are parts still in production. If you like a Cat and Mouse rivalry and a great story to follow up as it builds up the mystique of the villain, Monster is a show I would recommend. I do warn you though that it has methodically slow pacing with several episodic ones and overarching ones as he tries to hunt down. One of the most realistic anime you'll ever get. It will have a grabbing first couple of episodes in regards to ethics, regret, and surgical conflicts In regards to similar recs for Steins;Gate, there really isn't an anime that had intricate and well crafted thoughts on a scientific scale as S;G did with its time concept....from what I've seen. If you just want something good that focuses on a sci-fi concept, then Psycho-Pass S1 (not S2 or S3 as they fell from grace) with its cyberpunk dystopia in police enforcement and the questioning of a system defining criminals. Also happens to have an interesting dynamic between the main guy and the main antagonist If you want a more complex sci-fi, but not for it's scientific approach necessarily, but more towards a philosophical approach (it still implements the technological advancement) in a cyberpunk setting, the famous Ghost in the Shell (the 1995 movie, Innocence movie sequel, and Stand Alone Complex (not 2045)) can fill this niche. Stand Alone Complex has some episodic moments, but each season has around half of it at the least dedicating to one main arc. This is one of the best utilization of teamwork shows and one of the best mature shows If you like science stuff in general,
there's Dr. Stone which essentially is rebuilding a civilization and bringing back advancement in creation of tools/things that was essential in making humans progress the way they did. The other elements aside from this aren't as strong. there's Space Brothers which is a slice of life about a guy's journey to become an astronaut to follow his brother. Realistic take on this
there's Hataraku Saibou which essentially is about cells' life in the body. They make creative parallels as if it was an individual human society. Might get repetitive for you though and it's basic biology.
there's Planetes which is slice of life about astronauts already in space cleaning up space debris as their job. Realistic take on this.

Also I forgot to elaborate on some
Code Geass has a lot of excess entries. If you are only interested in the best of the best kind, I advise you to only watch S1 and S2. Akito the Exiled movies are part of the timeline, but its setting is on a different location and the main character Lelouch isn't involved, but his presence is there sporadically. He doesn't do anything really. These 5 movie series essentially are more of a fanservice, 3DCGI for mechs version. It is not required to watch it to understand the stories happening in S1 and S2 (you can tell by release order anyways). This franchise also remade the entire two seasons later on in the form of 3 movies. These movies are essentially remade version because there is one significant event that they modified to the point it impacts the character casting. I brought this up because there is a sequel movie to these 3 movies. It's not an exact sequel to the two seasons because of this altering significant event that was not on the TV series. Code Geass S2 (TV) had a fantastic ending. If you don't like to have your perspective changed, I suggest you stop there. If you like to watch everything, then by all means you can.
Legend of Galactic Heroes (the old one), if you want to know how to approach this, I viewed in this order: and then the side stories if you love the franchise and/or the main leaders but not necessary
and then this movie (definitely I do not recommend)
You do not need to follow my order as there are ones out there that surfaced. LotGH isn't renowned for its action, so don't have this mentality when you watch the series. If you want a little more fancy eyecandy, you should watch the New Thesis remake instead

Great Pretender is mediocre. Very character focused and the pace isn't for everyone. The payoff isn't even that strong either.
But damn I'd be lying if I said that main theme music doesn't slap

But damn I'd be lying if I said that main theme music doesn't slap Being character focused does not make a show weaker. Many SOL is character focused and your general statement from above could apply to something like Monogatari since much like Monogatari, it has character focused arcs, but the pacing can be a drag. I'd say the first arc was the best because of the mystery of not knowing the true intentions of the characters. For what it does, I thought the approach on the show and its characters, music, and visual aesthetic are commendable.

For what it does, I thought the approach on the show and its characters, music, and visual aesthetic are commendable. The character focused part wasn't a critique. My way of breaking down a show or even a player is bullet point style even though I'll write complete sentences. It's very jumbled and a big reason why writing isn't my thing. I think the characters are great, but in terms of how the scams progresses, it's sort of one dimensional. It's like stretching a tarp as much as possible to grab everything in sight. I think the show would be much stronger if there were more highs sprinkled across each arc instead of one big reveal at the end. The first arc was exciting because we saw Edamura one up Laurant by doubling the selling price only to dig himself into a hole. They could have played into that dynamic, where Edamura grows as a con artist instead of being strung along evry single time. And I agree, not knowing who is who played very well into the reveal. In future arcs, because you already can identify these characters, the rug doesn't get pulled from under you as hard. I'm not saying they should have thrown in new characters each arc, but something like disguises and deceptive animation shots would go a long way. Having the characers hide in plain sight is what could have elevated the show.

I think the characters are great, but in terms of how the scams progresses, it's sort of one dimensional. They would have had better potential if they did 2 arcs for the show rather than 4. They could still do in depth development and focus, but with this method, then there's less predictability since after the second arc ended, I knew what I was going to expect in the next two arcs. They could have made the characters work separately and then tie them together for the last arc. I think the show would be much stronger if there were more highs sprinkled across each arc instead of one big reveal at the end. That also works and then they can blend those arcs interwovenly rather than have them as separate events. The first arc was exciting because we saw Edamura one up Laurant by doubling the selling price only to dig himself into a hole. They could have played into that dynamic, where Edamura grows as a con artist instead of being strung along evry single time And it was more than one occasion in which Edamura looked like he one upped Laurent. ut something like disguises and deceptive animation shots would go a long way. Having the characers hide in plain sight is what could have elevated the show. They had a bit of disguising (although not literal disguises) on the last arc, but it ended in an anticlimatic fashion than what I was expecting.

I think the only arc you can really cut out is the Singapore one. I don't think the arcs should be so long though. It's not like the show was rushing or anything like that

I think the only arc you can really cut out is the Singapore one. I considered the France arc also not that big (IIRC, I think it had a bit of the foreshadowing scenes of the next arc that would disclose the history of the Con group, but that can still be retained). I don't mean cut them entirely either. Grab the crucial components that are key to character development and past history at the very minimum or use the scenes that take place in those locations (if necessary) as part of an entire arc for a grander mission than those. i.e. Edamura was still part of the "foreign" company in the last arc and have him travel to France in which he meets up and then don't show the fact that Edamura asked the gang to be in France to help save the store (obviously presented better but I'm trying to come up with something on the fly). Doesn't have to be the decided 24 episodes either. They could go for something different since I don't think Netflix cares about number of episodes per season. The staff also had a break after the Singapore arc in releasing episodes so they have the advantage of scheduling on their side (not airing on TV) to construct something like this despite being an original.

I think the France arc was good enough to be on its own. Cynthia's backstory was great imo and it was fleshed out from all angles. Having her being poor, but happy compared to her current rich and vein self. Her ex making a moral mistake only to right it by intentionally becoming the sucker who buys his own fakes. Abby's arc in Singapore, on the other hand, just didn't seem handled well. I mean, her arc could have been melded into the Japan arc without skipping a beat. I didn't feel much of a connection to her even though we know her past. This is despite liking her as a character.
