I'm looking forward to finding out how the sixty metre tall titan can move so fast and so quietly, that it can appear and disappear next to a heavily guarded wall without anyone noticing.

Yes, how could such a large creature appear and disappear so quickly?

I really like Potato Girl. She's the spacey oddball, the Osaka of the group.

Yea, she had some really great scenes.

I thought she had taken off Gunther's head at first, then I looked closer and thought she only hit his shoulder and went "Help Gunther!". Then you see that she severed his spinal cord and there's just a bit of flesh holding his head on.

Also this manga is amazing. It does so many things right that so much fiction just gets wrong (like actually knowing what your plot twists are going to be before you write them and having characters be able to come to the same conclusions the readers will).

Have to wonder how much foreshadowing is hidden in earlier chapters. These things take so long to come out I had forgotten they were originally heading for Shiganshina.

At this point I'm surprised the soldiers don't all wear high-explosive deadman switches. They probably stand a good chance of taking out the neck when eaten.

Actually that's a really good point. Sasquatch said that they all have something in the nape of their necks. That guy might have something, but he's not that much larger than your average person(by Titan standards), so he's definitely not piloted. What would he have in his nape?

Hey, why's Mikasa on everyone's death list rather than Eren? He's the guy with the crazy-dangerous, unpredictable superpower that's ideal for sacrificing himself to save the world with.

He can't die until the basement and/or dad shows up.

Not so much to the peanut gallery that suddenly decide they're experts and start spewing on various forums how it's filled with "plot holes" and how nothing makes sense, or that the writer is making up things as he goes.

Hope the author is working closely with this so we see the same kind of foreshadowing.

The 3d gear looks and sounds incredible. Spot Rivaille spinning like a dervish through that forest, and the pneumatic pumping noises Eren makes when he's just boosting it through the city. It would be amazing if they could give the main characters their own style of maneuvering.

Eren, no!! You're using too much gas!

Crazy theory for the sake of a crazy theory: Ymir is actually a Titan who transformed into a human, rather than the other way around. Ymir is a common Titan name.

This is what I gathered from the latest flashback with those two discussing origins, anyways.

Eiba posted:

If we're going to get a "filler ending" there's an obvious and kind of awesome potential for a very thematically appropriate one: Humanity loses.

Alternatively they could go the route of I am Legend (the book) The monstrous "survivors" of humanity form a new civilization

Titans are a limiter placed on the Spiral race in order to avoid detection from elder things beyond the stars.

I think it would be really cool for the Scouting Legion come across an independent group of survivors like that, but wasn't there something about titans being able to detect the presence of humans?

If that's the case, couldn't Sasquatch wipe any group like this out?

Oh poo poo. That reminds me of the zombie horror manga "I am a hero." It's revealed that (minor spoilers) All of the zombies are people put in these bizarre states of hallucination/dreams where their actions in the dreams cause them to act zombie-like.

When does it reveal this? I read up to him meeting the girl in the forest before tiring of it,, all I remember is that they mindlessly parrot behaviors from their former lives

Pretty much what Ghost of Babyhead said. Those 'zombies' are probably some of the most interesting zombies ever thought up.

Didn't read the rest of the comic but the ones from this chapter of Franken Fran seemed decent: http://www.mangapark.com/manga/franken-fran/c47/

the infected are still alive, but are being murdered by the frightened/bloodthirsty survivors

I'm still not convinced that there's a full on human inside each titan. I'm leaning more towards, titans being man made with the intention to be pilotable. The neck could be more like a control center that runs on auto, if it's not getting a signal from something else.

The old theory was that they were created with the intent of being operated by humans but the simple urge for pilot-less titans to 'put people inside them' spiraled out of control

obviously more is going on but that is the gist of it

From the anime thread

Runefaust posted:

I've been hankering for a good series to delve into for a long time, and although I'm normally a fan of mecha anime (last series I really got into was Gurren Lagann and Gundam00, and Fate/Zero oddly enough), this already has my undivided attention. I normally don't give anime more than 2 episodes to get me hooked after some other bad experiences, which has worked out pretty well for me, and after one episode this definitely has that special something to it - probably somewhere between the awesome 3D gear or whatever it's called and the sheer terror as helpless victims get bitten in half by gigantic humanoid titans.

Little does he know.... :v:

The scene in question:
Chapter 6, page 27
Chapter 6, page 28

MIkasa specifically crushed the knife with her own strength. The floorboard has its own panel, and it shows that it didn't collapse into the floor; rather, her foot hit it so hard that it broke.

Whoa yeah that's not subtle for an artist that likes adding visual clues.

EDIT: Colossal Titan is the principal! And the reason Eren hates Titans is because Colossal stole and ate his lunchbox!

I like the foreshadowing they added in the latest episode.

Although a few (minor) scenes they altered no longer made sense and I had to explain what the hell just happened -

Eren not making up with Jean, then Jean going "My trust ~~in others~~"
Why Mikasa was upset at the look Eren gave her

at least the potato came out alright

That gesture they made kind of looked like the SNK equivalent of a high-five. A sort of 'all is forgiven but I've got stuff to do' thing.

Well either way, between that and Jean's line being shortened, it didn't come across as well as in the manga.
