Actually, I didn't really detect any differences between the "graphicness" of both mediums. The manga is also full of "putting in mouth/carrying toward mouth, then cut-away" moments.

Every time it cuts away, and the manga is way more graphic about this.

I feel like i should re-read the manga or something, because I don't really remember some of this poo poo at all.

Also I kind of think Mikasa is a secret titan who knows more than she's said.

The top 5 people in the trainee program, how many are confirmed titans?

That's right, four. And Mikasa is #1. As a kid she promptly crushed the handle of the knife in her hand, and broke wood simply by controlling her muscles to propel her forward. There's no way she's normal in a series that tries to back itself up with facts.

I think it's probably a mistake to try and tie things in with the real world in any way. It seems just as likely that the names are just the result of the Japanese author wanting a bunch of white European characters. I doubt that history in the world of Attack on Titan coincides with real world history in any way, and there's no reason to think that actual, real-world countries exist/existed in the story either.

The anime EXPLICITLY says that Mikasa is "asian" and they are a race of humans that came into the walls from "asia"

There's no reason not to think this is actually dystopian and in the future.

That would have nothing to do with whether or not Reiner is attracted to women or women's asses. Annie's rear end is nice. This is an objective fact. You don't have to be attracted to somebody to compliment their features.

Right, but generally a guy wont say a guy has a nice rear end even if he does because he isn't looking nor cares (in terms of heteronormativity)

I genuinely don't understand the appeal of ruining these really good revelations for people who don't read the manga. Especially when people go into these kinds of threads and post spoilers as speculation.

To be honest I figuratively put my nose up at people who don't read the book/manga before the anime or whichever one comes out first basically then complain about being spoiled by things on the internet.

Either loving read the books or avoid those parts of the internet where this discussion would be taking place.

And if you don't want to, I probably don't like that person very much anyways unless we have other things in common.

That being said spoiling someone just to be a shitbag about it isn't very cool.

If the walls for keeping away Titans are themselves made of Titans, then what must walls for keeping away anime viewers be made of?

Something I just thought of:

Is titan stomach acid a way to unfreeze annie?

What is the situation with fusing with the titan, do you lose your appendages? If you truly get "absorbed" then what is the point of cutting the neck of titans? Shouldn't there be nothing left?

Waiting on a proper translation, but unless there's a special trigger I'm missing it kinda smacks of a typical shonen rear end-pull to have this ability first manifest in chapter 50.

Manga is done around chapter 100 or so the mangaka said.

Since this manga has usually stayed somewhat grounded in terms of physics and explanations of how poo poo works, I find a tiny little girl who likely had no real muscles to speak of could crush wood with her hands and push down so hard that she breaks the floorboards anything else than signs of mild titanfication.

It's been shown several times you can sort of "enhance" your abilities by tapping into them somewhat (reiner getting out of annie's grip, eren just now in this recent chapter punching a titan)

Also the fact that injuries heal the "pilot" even when not a titan all leads to signs that it is usable while remaining in human form.

Well I mean the guy explicitly says he was just trying to mimic the original art style and also apologizes for causing a hubbub on twitter because it got reposted without a source and people thought it was Isayama BUT I'm sure it's all actually a highly calculated ruse and it's Isayama himself, posting porn of his characters on a pixiv account because

Thanks man. I don't speak moonrunes, I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for you.

I mean like who's to say that's not canon simply because the dude hasn't drawn it himself? With teens being the main force in the survey team, you think most of them dying off fast a logical step in the though process is "gently caress I need to get laid before I'm eaten"

It is underage because you can't make pornographic material of someone who is not an adult (ie 18 or 19) you loving creeps. Age of consent and the age where you can legally star in pornographic materials are completely different things. What is it about anime that makes people lose their loving minds like this? (ie the derail for the last few pages)

Are you trying to establish consent lines with fictional characters? Really?

So, here's some speculation that came to mind when watching the anime -
Me and others have made this same exact post and it boils down to: There simply isn't enough information to go past a speculative stage with this right now.

Just finished the anime. Don't like reading manga and as best as I can tell there's no official word on a second season yet.

This sucks.

Manga is way better, and since the anime burned through a good 60% of the manga at the time, and seeing how there's a chapter a month or so, you're gonna have to wait a while or they're going to make a bunch of irrelevant filler ala naruto or bleach or whatever.

I'm thinking the ape titan is the king. They look somewhat similar and the king always has a kind of dejected, distant look on his face. As if he has been kept sequestered in the royal palace for years. This would explain why when he took a stroll through the lands behind wall Maria, he was surprised by the 3DM gear.

Why wouldn't he know anything about the 3DM gear a military continent uses though?

Attack on Titan 62 will be out later today or tomorrow. Finally, plotline resolution!

Eren finally realizes the awful truth.



And we all knew it was coming. But it's worse than we thought. Eren devoured his father, to gain the ability to Titan-shift. He remembers everything. http://i.imgur.com/Fq9i11N.jpg


That's not the bombshell though.
Rod Reiss had five legitimate children. Some of them very much still children.

and all of them were murdered.

I wonder if the vague "there is a reason I can't turn into a Titan!" from the King, which actually went unexplained, will be a clue for something unexpected to happen in the next chapter. Maybe in the chaos of the fight he gets stabbed with the syringe and transforms in some horrible monster which interrupts everything or something like that.

Wait what now? I think I missed something.

Not that I'm aware. Have you heard something?

I saw something online that says 107 chapters but I only see 101 available to read.

I do remember hearing he wanted it to be done in 100 chapters though a year or two ago...

edit: it could be I'm just confused, but it does feel like it's reaching a head.

Also the art of the warhammer titan screams Bleach to me for some reason
