When season 1 was written did the Manga go past the end of season 2. What I'm wondering if I should even be hypothesizing based on my Rewatching of s1

The manga was actually covering the latter parts of what was covered this season while season 1 was airing. E: but yeah the anime follows the manga closely enough that you can still pick up any foreshadowing that was dropped in there Saagonsa fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jun 20, 2017 |

What I'm wondering if I should even be hypothesizing based on my Rewatching of s1 Isayama is so adept at foreshadowing it's hard to believe this is his first professional work. He's spoken of changing details here and there (including the fate of major characters and even a presumed earlier ending point for the series) based on feedback from fans and his editor, but even so the series manages to feel like everything was planned well in advance. Either he's very rigorous and measured with his writing in order to make correct determinations of what changes he can make while keeping the structure of of the story seamless whole, or he's exceptionally talented at building upon what he's already laid down. So if you mean "should I use seemingly throwaway scenes and small details from the first season to make hypothesis about the future of the story?" the answer is very much yes.

Seeing them in the opening is a reminder of the cost for having all the awesome gear. I still hold "Bite" as one of my favorite episodes of the show. Everything's going great for the Levi Squad, then just one by one they get slaughtered, and you're like them, just being unable to process the first death long enough for the next one to happen.

For anyone who doesn't know. Sasha was supposed to die during her encounter with the Lil'Titan that she 1v1'd with a Bow. Isayama's editor was so broken up over her death that Isayama decided to change it, not realizing how much of a well liked Character he had made Sasha. Which is funny especially after the Fan-fare around her when S1 aired. (Sasha best girl)

This season was pretty great. Really excited to see how these new powers and everything go. They seem really powerful, i wonder what the catch is to them, or if they'll just introduce stronger antagonists. The author really has done an excellent job revealing the world so far. I hope we will still get creepy human Titan action because if it's becomes animals titans versus human titans or something i feel the animal titans won't be as scary, just going off my glimpse of them in the OP.

E-flat posted:My favorite is one I didn't notice until now, happening from a whim to re-watch the training episodes.  I've never seen that scene knowing about Reiner, Beartoto, Annie, and Marcel. Good catch. Man, Reiner nearly hosed all three of them over by playfully joking around like this on his big brother persona on quite a few occasions, huh?Also, my friend group has finally found time to meet up and have everyone catch up on Attack on Titan to the same point, working around those pesky things like lives, jobs, and relationships! We're going to start at the Female Titan arc for the guy who's furthest behind. Wish me luck on keeping a straight face on scenes like this, everyone.

It's okay to have an opinion man, just let it out. Catalina posted:
I must reiterate that it's a really good idea to rewatch the first season knowing what you know now and seeing how many little nods and hints you missed. There's a ton, like Reiner has smoke coming off of him after he saves Armin and poo poo like that.

As someone current on the manga, rewatching everything has been a really fun experience. The foreshadowing work that Isayama has done with the series is fantastic and the show has done an excellent job translating that to the screen. The changes to the Annie reveal and fight at the end of season one is probably my only major complaint about the show's adaptation. (Eren tossing Mikasa like a fastball at Annie climbing the wall was a much cooler climax to the fight than the cliched 'Eva-01 rage out' we got in the show.) The reveal for Bert and Ernie was fantastic, and I am very excited to see the finale of the next season animated if they break the story up the way I'm guessing they will.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Explain more ples In brief: The reveal: How Annie's psyche was expressed to the viewers when she was found out felt very different in the manga than in the anime (Her smile/laugh before she's rushed and transforms specifically.) I'm having a hard time putting it into words, but her reaction in the show felt far less in keeping with her character than the manga's take The fight: In the manga Eren is in control of his titan the entire fight, and has an internal monologue about his relationship with Annie (similar to the one he had about Reiner and Bert later.) The fight proceeds pretty much the same as in the show until the point where she crushes Eren's titan's face into paste with a kick. In the manga, she takes him down, and then immediately starts running and is well up the wall before anyone can catch back up to her. Armin realizing that they can't catch her with the 3DMG and has Eren's mangled but healing titan throw Mikasa up the wall to intercept her and cut her down. After she falls, she encases her human body in the crystal, but it doesn't engulf Eren's titan. Compare that to the show where we get a rote Shonen mecha fight where the way that the protagonists win is through an rear end-pull rage powerup and their individual strength with basically no character moments, creative thinking or teamwork to overcome a seemingly insurmountable challenge. This sequence is from chapter 31 to 33 for those interested. The shifters are all fascinating characters and I think Annie got the short end of the stick when it came to how she was treated in the show vs in the manga compared to Reiner, Berthold, and Ymir.

ATP_Power posted:In brief: That's a lot of good stuff, honestly, and I agree there are quite a few things that adapt from the manga that leave me scratching my head, character development wise, I want to mention that two of those things were specific requests by the author to be put into the anime. From what I remember, being too lazy to source 4 year old interviews right now, Annie's laugh at being discovered was actually something in the original storyboard, but not put into the manga, a fact that Hajime Isayama regretted enough to request it be put in. He's described it as portraying the feeling of her being able to discard all of the secrets burdening her down and be a normal 15-year-old girl, her true self. Isayama has also said that a specific request for the anime was to make Eren's character more useless, and that he himself didn't fully realize Eren's complete character until after he had seen the anime and heard Yūki Kaji act as his voice, as Eren was the main character and more of a "slave to the story". The final Annie vs. Eren fight I got nothing, though. I saw the anime first so I like both of them, but I understand a lot of the dislike from manga fans. I'm disappointed myself that a lot of the reaction of the characters after the battle to regain Eren from Reiner and

MOVIE MAJICK posted:One of the reasons I ask is commander Pyxis called himself a warrior and not a soldier in episode 5, and for Reiner that distinction seems to be important to his identity as a shifter.  Back when I saw the first season, I suspected Pyxis was the colossal titan, just because they both have bald heads and something else I had thought of at the time. Interesting that I was wrong, but somehow not far off.

I feel like a fool not realizing Reiner was a shifter after watching ep 17 again where he gets purposely caught by Anne He reveals that he thought Erin was in the flank that got attacked first and after he learns Eren is in the middle and he gets caught by Annie she starts running that way.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:I feel like a fool not realizing Reiner was a shifter after watching ep 17 again where he gets purposely caught by Anne That's what's great about rewatching the series, because they lay out all this information plain as day but you're not looking for any of it so nothing seems out of the ordinary. As soon as you know what happens down the line you start to see all sorts of details that really make you appreciate just how much foreshadowing there actually was. Like with the scene you mentioned where Reiner gets caught by Annie -- you're so shocked by the fact that main man Reiner just got killed (and then not) that you're not really looking for small clues because you're too focused on the fact that this character almost just died and then came back and it's overwhelming. Going back and watching obviously you know what is going to happen and can parse the scene at a different speed and so the foreshadowing becomes much more clear.

After watching Levi carve up Annie again I'm sorta hoping we get to see him take on the monkey titan, solo or with a partner like Mikasa or Erwin (can you operate 3dm with just one arm?) I like how it's apparent that if Eren didn't listen to Levi at first he could have probably stopped Levi's squad from dying and beat Annie MOVIE MAJICK fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Sure as soon as the story starts humanity gets more and more screwed and destroyed by monsters, but at least I still get the modern comforts of life and hope that I live next to Saitama. In AoT I'm stuck in medieval hell with giant disproportionate zombies with no idea any place outside the walls that is completely safe from the Titans. Plus I trust Saitama to beat up the next cosmic horror to pay me back for fixing his plumbing.
