Well, gently caress. I stumbled on this thread by accident, never heard of this thing. Now, 3 hours of my life have just disappeared while I was reading all the 10 chapters. I wanst going to, Im not into mangas at all. But drat if that wanst the best comic book Ive read in a long time and actually one of the best read I had this year. This poo poo is just amazing, Im completely hooked. I just need to know one thing: when is the next one coming? EDIT: Ok, the art is not a masterpiece at all, but the giants are pretty drat creepy. And the argument more than makes up for it. The plot is incredible and original, the characters are pretty good, and the dialogs are great, Im not ashamed (well, perhaps a little) to admit I almost cried a few times.

One thing that really puzzles me is the titans expressions while attacking and eating humans. They usually look almost joyful, or at least peaceful. No signs of anger, rage, fear, evil. The big one is different, though, that one really looks vicious. Another obvious remark is that the titans probably appeared around the 19th century. Also, how many people are in that city and how its called? I dont remember the book saying anything about it, but I might have missed.

DrSunshine posted:How do you "aim better" when the sensitive spot is the neck of a giant who is moving towards you? Well, they do have grenades. And when the giants are inside the cities or near the walls, it would be a heck of a lot smarter to just shoot then on the weak spot from above (shooters standing on tall buildings or at the top of the walls). The "3D fighting" is a lot cooler though.

Elysiume posted:It's also not very quick to aim a cannon. They also aren't very accurate. Seems like they also got rifles. And all that technology genious they spent making incredible grappling hook things could have been better used making better rifles, stronger/faster cannons, more powerful grenades, etc, way more pratical and believable weapons. Anyway, thatīs a manga and soldiers jumping around with swords and grappling hooks are very cool, so why are we even discussing that Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Jun 8, 2011 |

Elysiume posted:You really think a rifle will do the amount of damage they need to do? What do you honestly think is more realistic: developing stronger rifles capable of punching trough the giants flesh, or developing incredible grappling hook things fueled by gas and hyper-strong blades and then fight the giants in a spider-man fashion?

Boy, this manga sure has the highest mortality rate of any comic book Ive ever read. Amazing chapters, really. The killing of the captured titan seems to imply that there are people working with the titans from within the city. Also, if I understood correctly (chapter 23, p 16), Eren was supposed to be on the right flank , where she attacked, but was actually in another position, so the commander suspects someone from the inside is acting against then.

I will have to say it again: Ive never ever read a manga or comic book of any kind with such an absurd mortality rate. Is "realistic" too, given the situation. Its both awesome and heartbreaking how characters are introduced, developed a little, and then, right when we are starting to get fond of then, brutally murdered. This chapter was one of the best so far, cant wait for the next one.

Holly poo poo this comic book. Always the most unexpected outcome. Just incredible. I would never expect that she would beat his rear end and bite him off even though (and because) that would be the most reasonable outcome (considering she seems like some kind of elite titan warrior while Eren has very little experience in titan-transforming), and then thatīs exactly what happens Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jan 12, 2012 |

Because I really cant understand wahtīs happening there, apart from Mikasa. What the hell with that girl wearing a bikini with a flower in her mouth? The angry kids at bottom?

I just re-read the whole thing cause I could barely remember who anybody was besides Eren, Mikasa and Armin. Everyone with lovely memory like mine should do this, the story gets a lot better when you actually knows who everyone is. Also, I noticed 3 things (dont think I need to spoil then, its old stuff): 1- inst a bit suspicious when Christa conveniently shows up with spare horses during the expedition right when Armin, Jean and Reiner were completely hosed up? Also, later when they are by the trees preventing titans from entering the forest, Christa is missing. 2- does anyone else noticed the Annie's father face is not visible on any of her flashbacks? It might just be bad art, but I think that probably means he is someone important, maybe some character we already know. 3- Inst a bit absurd that nobody knows anything about the outside world or how the walls came to be? Is like it happened in some very very distant past and all was forgotten, but that just dont add up. First, according to "official" history, humanity erected the walls just 107 years ago. I understand that the King and the church are working to keep people ignorant about it, but is too recent: Eren great-grandfather, for example, ought be alive before the walls. So how come not even some oral stories survived about what happened? Also, they are a pretty advanced society, the have books, newspaper etc. How come all history was lost like that in a little more than a century?

Gyges posted:Eren and Annie are human-titans. Ymir looks like she might be a titan-human. If that's the case the effects of damage in titan mode could be quite different. Nah, Im more inclined to think like Dr_Amazing above: her titan body is smaller so her real limbs got cut while she was being eaten by dozens of titans. I think there are probably different kinds races of titans and human-titans, but titan-human relantionship thing works the same for all of then. Keep in mind that she used the exactly same method to transform (self-hurting) than Eren and Annie

Well gently caress That's was very casual and sudden way of giving up such a huge revelation, and right after two other important (but not so much after that) revelations in a 3 chapter battle. Its loving insane. That was the point when they were going back home to safety to question Ymir (I knew she wanst dead) and Historia and ponder on the amazing things that had just happened, and then we were going to find some new facts and a lot of new mysteries and then the story would go slower for a bit before the next huge fact. Well, that's what I was expecting, but no time to breathe here. It was loving incredible but also a bit disappointing, it kinda feels like the story is being rushed. EDIT: gently caress this "flagada" guy from mangafox, how come he was so completely right? And how come nobody else ever noticed that Reiner looks exactly like the Armored titan??

AnonSpore posted:I thought that was part and parcel of the Reiner and Bertholdt are titans theory. If anything, Bertholdt being the colossal titan was much less obvious. I know I never noticed that (which is completely evident when you look at then one after the other), so it blew my mind when I saw it now. Actually, I never noticed any of the hints this guy found, but they all make sense and most of then are pretty obvious. So I guess Im feeling a little stupid. EDIT: RatHat posted:It's a bit scary that it doesn't seem to be a big deal that Bernholt's titan form is so big. Makes me think there may be more people in his village that can turn into titans that big as well, perhaps even bigger. Now Im starting to think that when they talk about "our village" they are actually talking about the place the human-titans live or gather Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Feb 14, 2013 |

It seems to me that "zombie-titans" will attack human-titans (it happened to Eren, Annie and Ymir). But Monkey Titan is something else, and that's why he wanst attacked.

I decided to watch the anime yesterday, its pretty good. And it made me realize that I never noticed some very important things that happened in the first few chapters. So please, help me refresh my memory: how the hell Eren got that basement key again? The anime shows that his dad had the key with him when he left (and the manga too, if I remember correctly). So when or how did he got it? Was it ever explained or it remains a mystery?

Excelsiortothemax posted:Eren's bad memory strikes again. It's to be assumed that when his dad came back temporarily and experimented on Eren (maybe Mikasa) that is when Eren got the key. It's never been officially stated when Eren took the key to the basement. And when his dad came back temporarily? Those memories with father ("You are strange ever since mom died!!") always confused me. How far as I understood, his dad went away to the inner city that day, right before the titan invasion, and then never appeared again. Unless he came back to him in secrecy and somehow Eren cant remember it properly and only have those flashbacks? At the same time, he doenst seems to be surprised or confused at all that he have that key. Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Apr 26, 2013 |

I just went to the anime thread and read some pretty good elaborated theories about how it makes sense and its actually good writing that Eren is dead and now Mikasa is replacing him as the protagonist. I was almost convinced. So cute  EDIT: also, I cant explain why, but it seemed even more obvious in the anime that Angry Titan is Eren. Or maybe is just because I already know? I remember thinking it could be him while I was reading the manga, but I dont think I was so sure myself. But I didnt had one week wonder and speculate, since Ive read all the way to chapter 15 in one go. Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 21, 2013 |
