The series will be fine, a few people kvetching on wikia won't change that.

The real threat to the series' viability is Isayama and co. dragging everything out. It's February 2016 and there hasn't been a main storyline episode of the anime (remember that thing?) since November 2014.

Meanwhile, Chapter 78 is confirmation of many people's suspicion that Isayama has chosen to drag things out. The relevant plot points could have been condensed into a third of a chapter at most.

A lot of people are eager to see what is in that basement, long time fans have been teased about it for years, but the way Isayama is really stretching things out it seems doubtable we'll get to see the basement before the end of Summer, especially considering Isayama might jam more internal monologues or flashbacks into the storyline.
