Holy gently caress, the giants themselves are so incredibly unnerving. The way they seem to be in a content, half-mindless state most of the time... it makes me half expect there to be some sort of exposition from inside a giant's mind where they're shown to simply ~love~ humans so much that they can't properly express it though anything else than eating them.

We've just seen it from the point of view of someone inside a giant and he's in a dream-like state, which implies that the other giants have people in and they're also in a dream-like state which is why the giants are serene like that. I disagree that other giants having people in diminishes the specialness of the Titan and Eren because what is special about them is their level of control, not the fact that they are people in giants. That Eren is in the exact weak spot of the giant and at the moment seems to be pretty deeply fused/absorbed (due to the mentioned weakness/drained state he is in) implies that all giants have someone in that spot that has been completely fused/absorbed (which stops what little subconscious control they had, just look at the difference in Eren's state in the first giant and the second and the difference between the first giant using his hand to hand combat training and the second just lashing out wildly) and killing them stops them from holding the giant together, see them disappearing shortly after being killed, Eren's construct dissolving and the Titan evaporating into thin air. The other option is that he is just in the giant's special alien brain section because that's how it works and he acts as the brain or whatever and the same thing with the Titan, but that seems a little easy and nowhere near as intriguing as every giant having a person inside that they've absorbed at some point.

I just read all the chapters just now in one sitting. It's pretty good and all the characters are pretty likable. The only complaint I really have is that some of the art is a bit dodgy but it's progressively getting better.

Just read it. Amazing series. But yes, I'm getting a serious Claymore vibe from it about the "secret people doing crazy experiments and making the monsters" thing.

This series is interesting. I'd think it would eventually get licensed overseas with how well it's doing. The art isn't exceptional but gets the job done. And I agree those Titans are unnerving. The smaller ones give me the creeps the most, since they still seem to want to shove people whole down their unhinged jaws. Glutton bastards.

The scene where all the small-ish ones collaborate on dismembering and eating those soldiers while the big bald one watches is the absolute worst. Fghfghghfgjgh

Gah, I should have waited a year to start following this because 13 chapters is far too few and the monthly wait is going to be torture.

Well that's just frustrating, I'm trying to read it but the awkward phrasing of the translation keeps turning my brain to mush. e: Holy poo poo page 35. (not a translation issue, just a particularly horrifying page)

Well, I spent a while reworking the translation. About half was retyped and the other half was ye olde fashioned moving the letters around. Anyway, if it's bad I'll just take it down again. Here's a download link. I think it's worth reading?

Elysiume posted:Well, I spent a while reworking the translation. About half was retyped and the other half was ye olde fashioned moving the letters around. Some mild critique: Next time, with those very vertical speech bubbles, just make the text a bit smaller, insert dashes "-" where you have to break up letters, and try to stroke the outlines of the words with white where they overlap the edges. It's a little bit better than turning the text 90 degrees so it's vertical. Also, try to keep the words in the center -- I noticed this on pg 17, where the text was in the top left corner of the speech bubble in panel 3. Still-- very nice work!
