I've only watched Season 1 of the anime

I've been told they finally went into the basement. Dunno whats down there, but its nice to know they made it there

my questions are

Has Annie Woken up yet?

And Did we ever get a detailed look at what happened to Marco?

I've only watched the first season, I'm aware the manga is super far ahead of the Anime. Or at least from where I'm at

I'm just wanting to know if the manga got that far yet and made those reveals

I'm rewatching season 1 now, I haven't watched it in a few years. Apparently its up to Season 3 now

Attack on Titan was my shit, man, I loved it, but maaaan that gap between season 1 and 2 was just, god damn. I lost interest in it. and from a marketing point of view, that sorta killed the series. Okay killed is too harsh, but nobody talks about this show anymore. theres no merch of it. I remember we were selling shirts and the scout emblems and stuff at my store. I haven't seen any of that in ages. but its still goin so whatever

This show was great, it defied alot of common conventions

Okay yea, heart of the cards and power of friendship are nice, but reality isn't that convenient, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you JUST fail

Eren "dying" was a huge jaw dropper. Yea, hot blooded asshole that just really really wants something? Not always gonna happen. Bam, dead

Sure they cheapened it by bringing him back and he received no repercussions on having his squad killed because he rushed into battle, but the point was made

hardly anyone dies a dignified death, they're crying and screaming. Even Eren's mom, who sacrificed herself, was quietly begging them to come back to save her.

I'm not one of those losers that are like "OMG IZ DARKER AND MORE VIOLENT SO IZ BETTER LOL" I know people that like Majora's mask JUST because its bleaker than OoT. Not because of the characters, the world building, the masks. "Its darker"

but I can surpremely appreciate the picture they're painting here

I remember seeing little kids wearing shirts of this show. Violence is one thing IMO, but I was like, how do yall stand this show? I don't think MY 8 year old mind would've been able to handle this lol

I'm currently on the attack on trost

Subbed. I'm usually a dub guy through and through but this dub was ...sorta terrible. They got Matt fucking Mercer to voice Levi. And he makes like, Duke Nukem esque remarks to the titans. Wut. They make too many like, idioms? WE SURE ARE GONNA BE UP A CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE IF THOSE TITANS BREAK THROUGH

and shit like that. I don't think in this medieval-like world, where man kind is gonna go extinct and your friends and family are being eaten alive around you, you're gonna be talkin like that

at the same time, these subs are a little spotty. I'm watching on Hulu. They call Jean "John" sometimes and I think they called Levi "Rivalle" or something

but anyways, I'm now excited to watch the new stuff, I'm falling in love with the show all over again

Man, I forgot about this, it feels like in alot of episodes, not alot gets done then it leaves on a cliff hanger.

But FUCK man, they know how to draw you in. I would give up on a show where nothing happens, but the premise is so crazy I want to see it play out

another anti dub comment I can make is that they changed the grunts lol. The titan grunts are now these velosaraptor shrieks instead of these bellowing the-inner-animal-in-mankind screams

What I actually thought would end up happening is I figured the titans ate people, pooped them out, and THEY became titans. thats how theres still more of them.

I thought Eren died, became a Titan, but somehow maintained control (relatively). This maintaining control titans were the abnormals

Seeing how they weaponized Eren at the gas place, I thought Mikasa was gonna adopt him, and eventually most people would have their own "pet" titan

sorta like How to Train your Dragon

but obviously none of that played out lol

but yea, this show makes you think. Its so unique

the series is still immensely popular within the bubble of, like, anime subreddits and other anime discussion hubs.

but yeah it was building up to be a hit among more widespread, casual audiences and then... as you mentioned... the hiatus between season 1 and season 2 killed a lot of the hype surrounding it. still one of the greatest manga of our generation, and the anime has done a really good job adapting it.

season 1 in particular is a standout achievement as far as adaptations go. it stayed really faithful to the source material while adding scenes that augmented the original story. there's only one REALLY questionable change. they restructured some of the events into a more linear and cohesive fashion so the story would be easier to understand. and the absolute level of animation, music, voice acting, etc. speaks for itself. there's a reason all of that hype was built around the series initially.

so if yall know me to any extended amount, you'll know I hate spoilers. the act of people giving shit away and them thinking they are in the right to do so

Back when AoT season 1 was new, a friend of mine HAD to find out what happened after, so he read the manga

Reiner is my favorite. He just simply told me "You're not gonna like whats gonna happen"

Like, WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THAT

Now I know hes like, gonna get crippled, die, or like, betray them ...somehow. but yea, now i'm expecting it, see? The drama and surprise are gone

so i dunno, maybe yall will find some amusement in that since yall know what happens and I don't

Female Titan Appears

at first I thought this was like, a Queen titan

She would fart out new titans or something

Considering Titans have been around for a century, I kept trying to figure out ways they would still be around, You'd think maybe they would've dwindled them down this whole time

it makes me think whats going on in other countries, if they know about this shit or not. I think this anime takes place in Europe, right? What would AoT AMURICA look like

This whole situation confused me, Jean decides to attack the Titan Transformer. Reiner and Armin are like "k" and join in

like, Reiner and Jean are part of different squads, where are their squads? they should've brought Armin to THEIR squad

anyways, Armin is finally coming out of his shell by being the thinker. He deduced the Female Titan is a transformer and the way it looked at him, deduced that its targeting someone. Eren

This show is great cause of the directions they go with characters

Potato Girl, on the other hand, is a shell of what she USED To be. You'd think shed be the carefree one that casually kills titans while being silly but no, she got PTSD and hasn't recovered from it. They went the opposite direction any other anime would've gone

but of course then they introduced Hange and shes basically just that

You hate spoilers but you keep baiting people into saying something... in this situation if someone does spoil anything that's kinda on you. :/ As I said before, AoT will answer your questions if you keep going on with the story.

Now let me tell you about...

I think theres a distinct difference in discussing something then bringing up a thought provoker like "THEN YOU WON"T LIKE DIS LOL"

and this topic where I deliberately asked for clarification on a spoilery subject where it was somewhat my goal. Now I WAS looking for more a yes or no answer, and yall did catch on and provide that.

Also I was not planning on watching the series right now. but after I made this topic, I was like, i can just watch it, nothing is stopping me.

figured a rewatch was in order first though, and yes I'm gonna watch the next after

I will say the animation is top notch

I feel like in the first season, they over did themselves, in bad ways. Like its super fluid in some segments but then there were times its was painfully obvious they cut corners, they will cut away to sceneic shots during an action scene and just have the sound effects playing. Or reuse animations

Oh, you're in Season 2? hype.

My personal experience with Attack on Titan was that I didn't think it was all that great in Season 1 until the Female Titan arc. In particular I felt the pacing around Trost was downright atrocious. Season 2, OTOH, I felt was great all throughout and Season 3 was incredible.

Season 2 ED the absolute best.
