User blog comment:Dalmatia/Not a good time for Attack on titan fans?.../@comment-5179916-20180208152257

I know the amount of time between seasons 1 and 2 was ridiculously long and it wasultimately worth it, but I'm hoping that was just a one time thing. I thought the anime was a good start but then the long period of waiting between 1 and 2 made me lose interest and I had to be convinced to come back. Although, as the anime finally gets close to catching up with the manga, it may be warrented to take another break so there's more source material to work with.

Although I am a fan of the series and this upcoming arc is a good one, it also really tried my patience due to how stretched out it felt at times. I'm afraid that it will feel the same for the next season and alienate more viewers. Hopefully it will be a little more sped up so it has a nice balance. That being said, I don't see them going into the 'Return to Shiganshina' arc at all since that would conceivably be used as the base for Season 4.
