Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
Now, to be perfectly fair, it DOES make sense why Ymir says that line, her reasoning is sound. It's just...so silly and out of left field I love it.
Also:SpoilerWe learn that Ymir is CERTAINLY not an original titan since apparently she STOLE IT from the Flayed and Armoured Titan! Interesting!

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
Peppermint Schnaps really isn't that tasty... there's worse but also much better. Jägermeister is actually pretty good, but you get a pretty bad hangover if you're not careful.
I'd ask what exactly you're referring to but I'm afraid I know the answer. Since it's the same I'd be giving.
I've been a bit behind on the anime and still catching up on the manga (end of volume four now, I think) but regarding the latest episode(s)
Spoiler
Am I the only one thinking Armin is jumping to conclusions? Admittedly. he is probably right for the sake of plot but assuming a Titan just because he is intelligent must be a human even though Eren!Titan really didn't look anything like the other three (as in, lacking skin to begin with) it seems like a pretty far fetched idea they are dealing with a human, not just... well, a Titan with a brain.
Also, if the other Titans were as smart and coordinated as the female I could see why they are such a bother. Compared to the walking idiots they had to deal with so far.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
SpoilerThe other Titans were not as smart as the Female though. And while Titans do weird things by Titan standards are a thing- they have an "Aberrant" designation for a reason- it's a given that nobody had ever seen a smart titan before. And if it can think like a human... and it's possible for humans to turn into titans, that makes the most sense than if one random titan just grew a brain. Plus, the only other Titan that hasn't even tried to eat a human was... Eren, so there's that.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
I finally caught up through Episode 17, since I'm watching on Hulu.
SpoilerGAH! FINAL-FRICKIN-LY PAST THE BATTLE OF TROST! Y'know, the one where they couldn't manage to put a frickin' rock in a frickin' hole over the span of nine whole episodes. Or, rather, it took nine episodes...whatever.
But the subsequent episodes are winning me back over. The way that they're fleshing out the puzzle of "what/who are the Titans" is really interesting, and I'm intrigued by this new female Titan, who is apparently the new character I noticed showing up in the OP. Arch-villain? Double agent? Figure with her own agenda? WHO CAN SAY????
So, I'm enjoying it again, which is good. Because I'm a patient viewer, and Trost tried even my patience. I hope they don't pull that again.
I mean, gah. That's 75% of Madoka or Baccano! in the same space of the Attack on Trost...which is kinda depressing

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
You make some good points. I'll take it a bit farther.
I think Attack on Titan is actually a bad anime, however, it is pretty enough to make up for its glaring flaws. The plot is predictable i.e. most plot twists would difficult to not figure out beforehand, the characters are linear and the author seems to think that backstory counts as character development, not to mention that most of the characters are only thinly veiled stereotypes. However, it is very very well animated, the action sequences are nice and that goes for miles to cover up its massive flaws. I'll keep watching, but I think you would be hard pressed to call the writing of this anime 'good' on any meaningful level.TopSecret's First Ever Two Page Tabletop ContestIf you have any questions, want to talk about the contest entries, or you just want to hang out with cool people, visit our forums.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
For me, the biggest thing the show has going for it is the setting (and, like you said, the awesome visuals). I really enjoy seeing the setting spin out and get uncovered, piece by piece. One of the main reasons why the Trost arc irked me so much. Well, okay--and I like Armin the Smartie and Sasha the Potato Girl, and though Mikasa is basically a standard vulnerable badass, I still appreciate her.
Other note: I've been really coming to prefer the second OP, especially after listening to the full version. Which is weird. I like to think of it as the overlooked younger sibling, because the first opening is so awesomely bombastic and memetic that everybody wants it back.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
New episode:
Spoiler
Hooray, more flashbacks for character development. Also, even if Eren needs a purpose to transform into a Titan I don't really see why his regeneration wouldn't work without that purpose. After all, his tooth grew back and he didn't transform anywhere near that time.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
Yessss. Reading the manga and saying, "I can't wait to see this animated and voiced", and then seeing it meet all your expectations is truly the best feeling.
I really like the Female Titan arc.
So this was to be 25 episodes, right? Any manga readers have a guess as to where they might stop it for the season?
SpoilerThey might drag out the Female Titan arc to the end of the season actually. In my opinion I can't imagine them catching up to where the volumes are now and satisfying the current reveals/chase scenes. It'll be such a painful wait for season 2~

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
Isn't it ironic that Scouting Legion (Commandoes with large Budget Cut, or Night Watch without Hobos) got their greatest feat (large amount of data on Titans) from a miserable disaster of Wall Maria? Plus, according to this comic, the stationary guards were like Royal Police before the shenanigans.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
So i have been thinking about the low tech level, the rate that the titans have managed to drive mankind to extinction and the fact that everyone seems to be very closely related race wise with few outliers.
SpoilerIs it possible that this is a terraforming/colonization effort gone horrifically wrong. Not likely, but i could see the people in charge keeping it a secret to please the intelligent titan overlords that set them up with the wall.Thanks to Linklele for my new avatar!
If i had superpowers. I would go to conventions dressed as myself, and see if i got complimented on my authenticity.

Re: Attack on Titan / Shingeki No Kyojin
My cousins and I rewatched all of Attack on Titan in a weekend and came up with some interesting theories and questions.
SpoilerBased on all of the available evidence, it seems most likely that the Titans and the wall are some kind of bizarre human technology, and the world of AoT is post-apocolypse Earth.
Eren's father... working alone, he was able to reverse engineer the Titans from a smaller specimen he kept in his basement.
Question: What is inside the necks of wild titans? Perhaps the absorbed essence of the humans they were created from?Check out our O'Reilly Book, "Creating Augmented and Virtual Realities: Theory and Practice for Next-Generation Spatial Computing"
I contributed Chapter 13: "Virtual Reality Enterprise Training Use Cases"
