EXO Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 No Potato Girl in any of those pics. Your post is fail! bastid! I bleed for you!!! But we DO need some Sasha love though! Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 bastid! I bleed for you!!! But we DO need some Sasha love though! seriously!! she definitely "steals" some episodes. and if they made an alternate drool face when she thinking or seeing food....that'd be awesome. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) i just watched this for the first time today bc of the snow i didn't have to go to work. i watched 15 episodes straight and my head hurts. i felt like sobbing every episode. maybe i feel too much of a connection with the part of the story where the cadets wanted to be the top percent MP's to go more inward and be safe also this was repeated when the morale of the troops were down and didn't see the point of fighting a losing cause to close the wall off with the general's plan using the Titan.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Ok i finished it last night. Please no one hijack this thread!!!' I dont want it closed... Mikasa is not as good as Levi??? Or is Levi going to be gimped now that his leg is hurt... I love Erwin Smith, i think his ability to detect trouble early and preemptively calculate the risk and losses is genius. I wonder if Armin has more ability than him.

kanedaestes Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Well it makes no sense she would be better. Sure she has natural talent and ability, but she lacks experience which is where Levi tops her. He has the talent and the ability, plus more experience. The Show is amazing, I just watched it for the first time. Since its been awhile since I've gotten excited about an anime I was very impressed how quickly I consumed the first season and purchased the new figmas. Now the long wait for the next season Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) that's so cruel to make her fight titans at her age. she's just hungry. Edited February 18, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
EXO Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 She had her chance to join the MP or the Garrison... but if she doesn't fight now there will be no future to fight for later! We're talking about the fate of humanity!!! Plus everyone knows that the Survey Corps has the best kitchen... Quote
Marzan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 The Titans have no chance against her. The cuteness will just stop them in their tracks and the rest of the Survey Corps can move in for the kill... Has there been any word when this this will be licensed? I needed my Attack on Titan BD set yesterday. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Here's your potato girl! ku-xlarge.jpgku-xlarge.png lol thats way too cute! oh and yes now there is an agonizing wait for a second season. i hope this won't end up like initial-D where they waited for the manga to press ahead and took a break only to never come back. please let there be a season 2 at least!! oh and i totally am buying merch for this franchise. so far just mikasa stuff. i think little levi is badass but not sure i'll get him. and yes there should totally be some sasha stuff released! oh and more titan stuff.

Twoducks Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Here's your potato girl! ku-xlarge.jpgku-xlarge.png I approve of your devotion to the Sasha. You even show prove of the first ever live action version of a chibi style drawing.You have bleed well this time Quote
Marzan Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 i hope this won't end up like initial-D where they waited for the manga to press ahead and took a break only to never come back. please let there be a season 2 at least!! I think this series has been way too popular for that to happen. Manga, BD-sets all selling very well in Japan. And I think this will be a big success overseas too. They just need more chapters of the manga to make another 2 cour season possible and are probably milking all they can out this first season. I just checked Funimations website and it seems that their dub will be premiered at Anime Boston in march and there will be a release of the show in the summer. Quote
Negotiator Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 For anyone that preordered the first run of mikasa from goodsmile: were we not supposed to get part of a roof or something w/ it? Quote
Negotiator Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Did it come separate from the figure's box? I got the figma and nendroid and that was all that could fit in the packaging box. Didn't open it till now because I assumed the roof was just in the figma box. UGH. The figure is amazing tho. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 was the roof only for preorders directly from goodsmile? Quote
Negotiator Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 was the roof only for preorders directly from goodsmile? Yes. Wish I had checked on this sooner. Now its going to look all fishy Quote
Roy's Blues Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Did it come separate from the figure's box? I got the figma and nendroid and that was all that could fit in the packaging box. Didn't open it till now because I assumed the roof was just in the figma box. UGH. The figure is amazing tho. It was loose in the bottom of the box, IIRC. Wrapped in plastic. Quote
Negotiator Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It was loose in the bottom of the box, IIRC. Wrapped in plastic. Thank you. Hopefully they can still send me one. Quote
GU-11 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Never mind part of a roof, stock was so scarce over here that my hobby store couldn't even fulfill all their pre-orders. Some lucky bastards who ordered early might have been able to score one, but I have to wait for the second run in April. Quote
Negotiator Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 in case anyone cares, good smile company's customer support was very helpful and polite. They shipped out the stands vIa EMS and I already received them. Quote
Marzan Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 The latest chapter of the manga. Revelations galore... Levi's surname is actually Ackermann which might indicate that he's related to Mikasa. One of the bad guys is an Ackermann too so the plot really thickens. And Historia Reiss is confirmed as the daughter of the true king of the Wall society. The plot thickens Quote

The plot thickens I stopped reading at Chapter 40, it got too boring and the pacing is piss-poor. If something finally got answered I may begin to read this again, but based on your spoiler tag, none of that information is interesting to me in the slightest, I'd like some actual answers, not just more revelations that further convolute the already near non-existent plot. On a side note, didn't the creator reveal that he indeed had an ending set for the series, is there any information on when the manga will end, or what chapter it will end on? Quote

No, nothing of the sort. He did mention that he had an end in mind and has also said in interviews that he doesn't want it to be one of those manga that goes on forever. Having said that, Attack on Titan is more popular than ever both in Japan and overseas. The 13th volume comes out tomorrow and is going to have a whopping 2.75 MILLION copies for it's first print run and has sold more than 35 million copies overall. So you can bet that the publishers are going to be pleading Hajime Isayama to keep on pumping AoT for as long as possible. BTW, there is much more to the "non-existent plot" as you call it than that which I spoiled. There's a good reason for all that is happening and it's all going to contribute to the forthcoming revelations/encounters/battle's. Quote

I'll probably have to start reading it again then, it's just after the Ymir "revelation", I was pretty done with questions being piled on questions. Quote
antibiotictab Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 A projection mapping yesterday in Kawasaki. I wanted to go, but couldn't. Quote
Twoducks Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Due to events in the story the manga is entering a more political angle right now... but I actually love that. The implications of all that is going on will inevitably make for grand action and tension. Quote
Marzan Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Meanwhile Stateside, Attack on Titan continues with it's success. Granted I don't know much about American tv ratings, but almost a million and a half viewers doesn't sound too bad? Please correct me if I'm wrong. http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-ratings-for-may-10th-2014/ Quote
EXO Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 That's really good, especially for a half hour animated show on a Saturday night at 11:30. That's the same number as Breaking Bad's debut on a Sunday night. Quote
Archer Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Wow, that's insane! Glad to see AoT holding up stateside, even though I'm sure a lot of interested parties have already seen the sub. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) i saw this on tag hobby http://www.taghobby.com/1-0/1-4/%E4%B8%8D%E6%96%B7%E6%9B%B4%E6%96%B0-2014%E5%B9%B45%E6%9C%8831%E6%97%A5-megahobby2014%E6%98%A5-%E5%A3%BD%E5%B1%8B%E5%B1%95%E5%93%81-pvc-figure-series/ another pic from toysdaily: megahobby expo spring 2014 http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-224457-1-1.html Edited May 31, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Major Focker Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 just caught up with the manga. not sure i like the shift in focus. no Titans in sight for how many chapters now? Quote
Dangard Ace Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 just caught up with the manga. not sure i like the shift in focus. no Titans in sight for how many chapters now? Too many. Get to the f'ing cabin and find out what that key unlocks already! Quote
Tking22 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Yea I finally caught up on the manga like Marzan and a couple of others told me I should, and i gotta say I'm once again done. It's just going nowhere, and as others said I hate where things seem to be heading, the new political turn isn't doing it for me. I stand by the same complaint I had 20 issues ago, they just keep convoluting the story more and more, they keep having new "revelations" that do zero for the story, revealing that long time characters are actually somehow related to each other means nothing, it doesn't continue the story and doesn't answer a single question I've had since issue 1. Now I don't need a scientist to walk out explain the Titans origin, or explain the wall cult or any of this other crap, but damn, throw me a frickin bone, just when you seem to think you might have an idea as to how something could work or have been originated, BOOM, some other stupid "revelation" has to happen and you're once again 10 steps back and scratching your head, asking as others have, "Why can't you just focus on trying to get to Eren's basement?" They keep finding new reasons to not continue the central plot, and the story has become very basic shonen-fair unfortunately, it's essentially Mobile Suit Gundam: Titan, it's basically about the evil government and flesh mechs, I'm disappointed.
