@Hfc2x I'll read that! It looks interesting. But I've always assumed the author will put his beliefs into his works. I'm glad you're saying it isn't true.

Sure the animation team has made a lot of mishaps, but they've done a lot of incredible things as well, such as making Hiroyuki Sawano the composer or creating scenes that otherwise weren't that visually prodigious in the manga. Who knows, if they did hire another animation team and they were completely faithful to the manga, the music could've been unfitted and the art style be similar to Naruto or another one of those cliche animes. Even though the last episodes probably did suck in manga terms, I've never heard the fandom complain... It seems it only sucked if you look at it from the manga's point of view, so I can't really comment on that I guess.

But yeah, you're right, I have no idea how they'd work around it. Maybe make Hange say something around the lines of "We ripped his nails off but he still isn't talking."
