Azzents posted:It's a double edged sword. Either we get an anime only ending and that'll be the end of a great series or we'll get a second season a year or two down the line while we wait for the manga to pummel through. Anime only endings aren't always terrible. There was also Trigun. And... uh... I'm sure something will come to me.

Schubalts posted:It's also why training lasts for years, before the recruits officially join the military. Also, anime physics or no, I imagine 3d gear takes a lot of training to use like they do in the show. Though come to think of it, it might be the kind of thing that's best learned young (assuming you don't mind a portion of your child soldier trainees going home in bodybags).

Can we avoid the "Boy, wait until you see what happens next!" pseudo spoilers in this thread? If you really want to talk about it, there's a manga thread.

I can't help but feel frustrated by this. The manga has incredible promise for an anime, and some scenes have shown that the animators can do an awesome job with it. But whether the reason is budget, time, or whatever, they're really botching the adaptation so far and it seems to be getting worse.

my dad posted:I assume that the author didn't quite get the scale right, and the area surrounded by the walls is actually much smaller. Small enough, in fact, to make the inner two walls only contain enough arable ground to feed a million people. Wasn't there mention of trying to farm the wasteland and shots of people trying to hand farm surrounded by snow? I kind of assumed that the walled area is so far north (or possibly south) that significant portions inside the wall are too cold to raise crops. Which might also mean that the rest has a very short growing season.

Tivac posted:Germany is also a fully industrialized, modern nation with modern medicine, birth rates, farming, etc. Someone in another discussion (or maybe this one?) observed that the last time Germany had fewer than a million people, the hoe had not yet been invented. So if those numbers are right it does seem to be a crazy low population density.

Senor Candle posted:EDIT: Levi knows how to hold back and get out of situations that are too dangerous. Pretty much this. Yeah, Eren can bring down some titans, but killing some titans was never a problem for the Recon Corps. Eren is valuable for what he lets the recon corps accomplish rather than for his combat ability; this isn't a super robot anime where the one of a kind prototype wins all the battles.

TheKingofSprings posted:On another note, I've missed the last few episodes and am planning on marathoning the last part of the series with some friends and then going onto the season finale. How have the last 5 episodes been overall for animation and pacing? I'd say you're in for a treat. They don't advance the plot at a fast pace, but it doesn't feel slow either; there's lots of action to keep things lively.

If you can handle it, I'd stick with the anime for at least the last episode. You only have to wait five days, and if 24 was anything to go by they're going to blow the budget on the finale.

kater posted:I never read no stinkin manga and I regularly hate the anime, but that was not a bad episode or a bad way to end the season. Crazy awesome titanfight and also Eren got his first drop of characterization since like... episode 2. Yeah, it's kind of annoying. I've read the manga (admittedly so long ago I barely remember this part), and I thought this episode was handled fine, just differently. But it seems like many manga readers have been anticipating the finale (and reactions to it) so much that they're just annoyed it wasn't treated as a big deal. I kind of wish they'd at least keep the complaining to the manga only thread and leave this thread free for unspoiled anime reactions.

Basically, most of the manga reader complaints about this episode are a result of the fact that the manga never has a good stopping point. The changes made to the last episode were so it at least had something like a point to stop on, instead of the constant runaway freight train the manga is at this point.

Jamesman posted:"So, let's find something on Netflix to watch tonight. Oh hey, Attack on Titan. I've heard that name thrown around a lot. Let's check it out, knowing nothing about it except the name and that people seem to really like it." Given how popular it was, I think it's pretty likely they'll produce more seasons when there's enough manga to adapt. Given the nature of the series it doesn't really work with filler, though, so they kind of have to wait.

Mordaedil posted:I don't think it's going to be for a while, honestly. The anime is too close to the manga at this point. The 25 episode anime covered up to the end up the manga's chapter 33 (the OVA covered a side chapter). Without getting into what's actually in future manga chapters, the obvious assumption is that the second series could cover chapters 34-66. The most recent chapter was 54, and it releases one chapter a month, so that gives an estimate of about a year before there's material for the next series. That's about as rough an estimate as you can get, though. Additionally, they'll probably want a decent ending point for the series instead of a cliffhanger (consider how many episodes in the first series would have been good stopping points), which means they might end before or after chapter 66, depending on how the story works out. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

I absolutely love that you claim you can predict a show so easily, and then conclude that if your predictions don't match the manga that can only be because the manga hasn't reached that point yet.

So that must mean he's right, not that he's picked the spoiler free thread to gloat in and no one else wants to drop spoilers just to prove him wrong.

Also remember that AoT, like many other anime, is adapted from a manga (black and white serial comic). It's kind of harder to do show instead of tell in that medium; I suspect American comics have a similar issue from the few I've really read.
