davidHalestorm posted:Man, those first two volumes felt like a prologue to me. Mainly because people kept dying left and right and we're not sure who's going to be the main characters, yet (except for Erin and Mikasa, obviously). Now, it seemed that we've got a bunch of them. If you're talking about all the characters that popped up during the flashback Im pretty sure all of em are dead jim, the only new character introduced that seems to have a pretty big role is that scout dude. e- Maybe Im just remembering things incorrectly but I could have sworn I remember seeing a lot of these characters before. Like I vaguely remember a girl eating something at a completely inappropriate time before and my first though during the new chapter was that it was her. It doesnt help that everyone looks the same in this manga. e2- Yeah my mind was playing tricks with me, the girl with the slab of meat didnt get eaten but the girl next to her got her head chommped down on.

Yomiel would be more like Yomieru. I think Ymir is closer to Yomiru than Yomiel is.

Yeah, they could go with the whole fall of civilization thing and after several thousand years mankind is at the brink of extinction. It be silly though if the manga took that rout and has the scout crew reach the ruins of tokyo or whatever.

I...always thought it was a woman but now that you mention it... No, they quite clearly refer to it as a "Her" in this particular translation.

Titan is the planet, the titans are actually the planets antibodies/defense mechanism, the humans are the parasitic foreign beings that they are trying to remove. It us, we are the attackers  .

This manga is so refreshing. Nice having a story were both the heroes and the villains act intelligently, subverts tropes and isn't afraid to murder every single character that gets introduced

Schwarzwald posted:I have a feeling that engaging the titan instead of fleeing is going to bite Eren in the rear end. After all, the female titan's whole goal was to flush him out, and now he's right in front of her. Well she hasn't fully regenerated yet ,so he might be able to beat the poo poo out of her. If you noticed she still has her muscles severed so she cant guard. But I still agree that this wont end well for Eren, female is just too strong and has full control of her mind when transformed. Although who knows, she might kiss him next chapter, its about the only thing she can probably do :iamafag:

Author's art is getting slightly more tolerable, something about the head proportions were (and still are just a tiny bit though) out of whack. One thing he absolutely does great is the sense of motion and speed. All the panels really do a good job of illustrating it. Now about the female "Conserving Stamina", I think its less about the actual act of transformation and more about using calculated and measured attacks against enemies instead of going full out and clobbering everything like Eren does. Emotions might also be a factor on it, maybe being in a pissed off state of mind when doing it will drain more than being calmed and collected.

A chapter where nearly no words were said, and yet, so much anger was displayed. e- It was also completely one sided anger, in fact its the only face he had on. Female titans eyes had shock, conviction, pain and even compassion. There's a whole lot more human in female titan than Eren titan.

Yeah, the author has a great ability of conveying sense of movement and speed. Im also seeing the art get cleaner with each chapter. Hopefully it continues to improve. About the female giant, what purpose could she have with doing this? She was willing to give her life to kidnap Eren and seem pretty sad/disappointed that she failed in the end. Revaille noticed this, I wonder if the issue is going to come up in the next chapter. Also Eren in the last few shots that was completely brutal, seeing himself in that kid, figuring out that his idea for joining was just childish naiveté, the amount of death that happened just because of him There is just no hope in this manga

The only reason why I remember Mikasa is because its like saying "My home" in spanish. Rivaille because it sounds like rival. Everyone else is a blank face in my book.

j4on posted:Do any recent revelations give hints to what it means? If its translated correctly then the only thing I could think of is an allusion to Norse mythology. Ymir and Ymirs people, the Jotnar. Whether or not he's introducing himself as a jotun (it would make sense, since he's a giant), or calling the humans jotnar is something that remains to be seen. As for Annie, I cant help but feel that her conversation with the MP guy and with Armin holds a lot of what she actually believes in. That she's just protecting the status quo when she really feels like she could try to break it. Gave me vibes that she's rationalizing the (real) belief that humans are mostly scum and that this is for their own good

Sindai posted:Yeah, all he really needs is some kung-fu training. It wouldn't take much to justify him getting better. I dont think martial arts training will do anything to Eren right now while he's in titan form. He seems to blank out and just go primal on whoever he considers the target. Also Mikasa's line that inspired Eren was something Eren said to her when they were kids. Well part of what he said, he went something like "Cruel and beautiful place". I guess there is no more beauty, just cruelty

Hodgepodge posted:Unless Annie is a deep cover agent and crap like 3D gear isn't important enough to report back. Assuming her job even involves reporting back before her mission is complete. Colossal saw the 3D gear as well. So we can assume him and Annie are probably in the same faction while Sasquatch is in another. Also even the idiot titans show a level of deference to the Sasquatch, mostly because of fear. Didn't even know that was possible. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Jul 10, 2012 |

Chapter was great. The author is getting much better at drawing as well so the problem with weird proportions at distances seems to be almost none existent now. Its becoming more apparent that there was a time where technology was at a higher level. I wonder how far things will go. If the decline was sudden or by stages Also started to think about the factions. The bigfoot titan and his crew can walk around at night. While the other titans cant. This makes me think that their titans are more complete, or even original/"natural" titans. That the ones that are light dependent were at one point man made and incomplete. Still too early to make a clear picture on this mystery.

Schubalts posted:How did you not see that she was a girl before this? To be fair the author has drawn some androgynous females before that have left us scratching our heads a few times. The crazy scientist girl is one of the earlier examples. I thought Ymir was a guy as well, mostly because of the name and some rough facial characteristics. I was caught be surprise with Conny called her a woman and only noticed her breast when she was kneeling looking for food.

Yeah I dont think they have enough content for a 26 episode run unless they start stretching things. One of the bigger strengths this has is its relatively fast pacing but I guess a slower pace to enhance character/world building could work if its executed well. I can totally see a 13 episode run though as a thing to drum up more manga sales. You know, like what Madhouse gets commisioned to do a lot of times (Please let it be madhouse that makes it  )

Hairy dude was certainly smart though and every titan near him show a certain level of deference to it. You can see it when he popped the small creepy ones eye. All the other ones had worried, scared faces.

He's going to turn titan, get his rear end kicked, THEN we'll hear Reiner and Berthold have their say. Wrong He's going to try and turn into a titan, get reminded by them that they are in a loving tree and that if he transforms he'll fall and probably endanger Ymir in the process. He then transforms anyways and lands face first on the ground. Repeat, with this time him actually listening to them

Im thinking being a scout is the type of role in that military where there is a no question asked acceptance to switching to a different corp. Kinda like mortuary affairs in ours. vvv Its a horrible translation choice by a group. If they did it seriously then they are pretty bad, but they probably did in jest. Its basically Jotun/Titan/Kyojin. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jun 4, 2013 |

The manga is better paced and is better at blind siding you than the anime is. A lot of people recommend to just wait for the anime but I really didnt feel it. If you are doing both, read the manga first.
