  • On the whole, it's very good. I liked the themes of war corrupting whoever takes part in it, as well as the fact that there are circumstances where no decision is an objectively good decision: consequences can and will come back to bite you in the ass
  • My biggest criticism of it is the name. Even calling it something like 'Advance on Titan' (and accordingly, the Advance Titan) would have fit better, as well as been a better localisation imo
  • A lot of the characters on both sides were great. My favourite main character was probably Mikasa, and my favourite side character Willy Tybur
  • The ending...I know it was controversial. I personally thought it was good. It wasn't the ending I would have gone for, but it makes sense. There are some things it doesn't explain, but you don't have to take too many leaps in order to infer things
Feel free to ask me stuff if I didn't cover it

@DezDroppedFreak in case you're interested

How did you feel about Annie's titan randomly being revealed to be the ability to use other titan abilities?

The author chose the name. Shingeki no Kyojin is the name of Eren's titan and can be translated as the Advancing or Attacking Titan.

So he kinda combined them but there should be a comma. Attack on, Titan!

Came out of the blue, but it's whatever

Advancing works better with 'I just keep moving forward' though

In the basement is a portal. Eren goes through and ends up in the Skyrim opening

IIRC it's a prequel thing right around when they first invented the 3d manuever gear, about a kid who was born by a woman right as she was eaten by a Titan and promptly spewed up again

but i stopped reading after i caught up to wherever it gotten to at the time

Did you read/watch Levi's full back story ( the ova/no regrets side stuff)? Him, Kenny, Mikasa and Erin are my favorites

It's a tough choice though.

No, I didn't. And yeah, like I said there's a lot of great characters, so it's hard to pick one

AFAIK the japanese title translates more to "Advancing Giants" so yeah.

Personally, i like the artstyle, but that whole "Being eaten alive thing" is kind of a phobia for me, so i cant touch it.

Erwin GOAT

main problem with the final chapter is some straight up character assassination jaegerists taking control even though that literally goes against the series messaging, and they may as well not have even added the additional panels because they do nothing but CyClE oF ViOleNcE and sequel bait
