Thread: Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

    I haven't started this yet and am about to. For those of you who have read the manga, which one is better? I usually read the manga first then watch the anime, but if the anime is well paced and doesn't discard any content then I'm just gonna go along with it.

    The anime is better. It actually fills in some shortcomings of the manga, particularly in the plot development aspect.

    I don't think it's necessarily his tiredness (it plays part, a weaker mind) but more so, as mentioned earlier, his will power. I think it comes down to mental training to control the titan when in titan mode or maybe he just needs some more daddy-juice.

    His father did mention something about being able to "use memories of those before him" I think, so maybe there's like memories-stored DNA in those injections. What they're meant for though, only Yeezus or his son North West knows.

    The whole point of slicing them in the neck means that the humans controlling them are killed by that action, causing the vaporization of the titan and possibly also the human as it is merged with it. An explanation for the exception of Eren could be the injections his dad gave him. Maybe. I dunno.

    I have a feeling the mystery behind the injections his dad gave him still won't provide all answers.

    I don't think that's conclusive proof. Let's not forget Eren's titan acted like a normal titan when Eren chose to sleep. So, I reckon it's still possible the neck is a control point for a titan, but the titan can operate without a human in there (acting like normal, dumb titans). However, being a control point, the titan will die if it's destroyed as even its autonomous functions will cease.

    This post answers Carnage's question pretty well, and no I don't mean it's accurate.

    The manga is superior because unlike the anime a manga is supposed to be composed of still shots. While the artist's style is rough he has a great sense of motion and the art problems like every character looking quite samey carry over into the anime as well. Also the manga will actually get finished.

    When I hyped this series up in the OP I said it would be spoken of like Berserk. I was totally right - the problem is people will talk about this series like they talk about the Berserk anime series, as an entertaining but wonkily paced effort hampered by time and budget constraints with some pretty music that doesn't really make up for it.

    Much like Berserk the ultimate option now is to listen to the anime score while you read the manga.

    I wonder why Annie was apologizing over Marco's death... Also, I find it suspicious how Reiner is always seen together with Annie in almost every episode making subtle comments about things.. o.O Maybe they have something to do with this?

    If the theory mentioned by someone else previously that the armored titan and colossal titan are actually humans like Eren, it could be possible that they're characters that have at some point already been introduced to build on the storyline, rather than just randos.

    Hmm, I don't know. If she was a titan though, why would she apologise? She should know full well what she's getting everyone into.

    I wonder if Eren would totally dissolve into the titan and lose all control if he stayed inside for too long.

    Regarding that titan stomach ball, I was wondering if that's not one of the way we get more titans.

    Now that they captured 2 4 meter class titans, maybe they can get some intel, do some research.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Fantastic music. Makes me super excited for MonolithSoft´s Wii U-game "X", that´s featuring the same composer.

    Good episode. Though I don´t like the nonsensical power variations. Sometimes, Mikasa just slays titan after titan, then she´s suddenly in trouble because of one or two. Then their group members were suposed to be the elite. Yet they weren´t all that strong. And instead of killing the titans, they just seeked their attention, or, like Connie, just punched them, lol. And then the recon squad arrives and Levi is strong like superman. A bit more consistency would be appreciated.

    Anyway, looks like the story is about to really start now, with Eren being where he always wanted to be.

    I´d prefer it to be someone random, as it would expand the story.

    this time around, the animation was really weird.. felt like I downloaded a censored version or something, anyone else had these issues when everyone helped Jean to reach the wall?
    maybe my DL is corrupt or something..

    edit: I guess something is wrong with my version, meh

    The reason everyone had to just run out to the titans is that they weren't near any walls/buildings, which makes the 3d gear almost completely useless.
    The only thing you can hook on to is a titan, and then they can just grab your wires and you're totally screwed. You can maybe do it if they're attacking someone else, which we did see some of in this episode, but it would be pretty risky.
    The humans still ran out into the open where they knew they would die, just for the purpose of drawing the titans away from Eren.
    Levi/Revai was able to use the wall since they were close enough to it. The titans were also distracted, so he could easily take them out (and he is super amazing).

    Well, I think Levi is a bit too amazing. Feels too much like a standard-shounen character.

    Levi is just the male version of Mikasa only with no love for Eren.

    This show has been officially approved for memory disorders clinics. Already a fourth of the usable length of the ep is recap, and now we get a full recap episode.

    No wonder the casualties piled up when most soldiers, even in the areas with buildings, were only concerned about screaming and running, not attacking the titans like they have been taught to do. It makes the story look stupid if Mikasa and Levi are the only bloody people who can kill titans like everybody with training should according to the theory of 3D warfare.

    I had that exact same issue. It's like the hole in the wall was somehow making everyone incompetent. Because everyone is just standing around eating shit. Then the hole is blocked and they kill like 100 Titans in a day.

    I was really hoping Eren would go on a rampage after he finished with the rock, but I guess he just...

    ...ran out of steam.
