gently caress the haters, Sasha just loves food, and with good reason since food is obviously scarce post-titan invasion. But she went loving beast mode there at the end to save samuel by launching a hook through his leg.

Zorak posted:The main issue that would lead to an anime-original ending is the rate at which the manga is produced vs the rate the anime is produced. The manga comes out on a monthly basis. Episodes of the anime come out at a weekly basis, and cover multiple chapters at once. Either they have a second season years from now or they try to do something else to conclude this first season. Considering that the manga will still be ahead, they could probably do a 13 episode season both next year and the year after and still be fine, though after that they'd likely have to wait longer than a year.

Pretty sure that even as it stands there's enough material for a second season, juuust. But it would be nice to, you know, actually finish the story after 48-54 episodes have passed.

Would they actually leave the show and come back to it later? I heard somewhere that the reason most places did shitloads of filler instead of stopping and restarting once more material came out was because it was better to put out crap and have people keep watching crap than to hope people still remember the series several months/years down the line.

I think getting time slots are really cut throat in Japan and if they aren't putting stuff out they'll lose their slot to next show without any guarantee that they'll get it back. So once a show gets a good slot they'd rather slog out filler than stop and start when they have better content.

This is all very true, but it only applies to shows that have a mainstream time slot such that they don't need to rely on dvd/blu-ray sales alone. Or in other words, shows that air during a time when most people are awake. Attack on Titan isn't one of those, as it airs at 2AM. The odds that a second season would have the exact same timeslot are slim, but when it's at 2AM on a Sunday it really doesn't matter.

They could. Some anime have done that and just re-aired the original before the new season came out. After all, it's from DVDs/BDs they make most of their money rather than the TV airing. The TV airing is just an ad for the DVD/BDs.

It's not necessarily an anime-only ending, but I'm glad the Golden Boy OVA ended where it did. From what I hear, the manga after that point was less funny and more just porn.

I really love how the show is sparing no expense at showing you just how much Eren hates the Titans. I honestly expected the anime to downplay it a little bit, but if anything it's playing it up. When your sole desire in life revolves around the genocide of a species, it's pretty damned impressive that you manage to inspire your friends to join your cause. He's like a Captain Ahab that everyone agrees with, and it's lovely.

I gotta agree that the Colossal Titan suddenly appearing in a flash of lightning was a bit comical. The scene would have been utterly mortifying if it had slowly lifted its head above the wall, signaling the advancing dread that the titans bring.

I don't think anybody is "worried" about it, just suggesting that these people live in an incredibly confined world and have absolutely no idea what else might be beyond the walls they want to break out from. It is quite possible the show will go into this

Don't the recon squads go out of the walls to hunt titans? If there was anything out there nearby they surely would have seen the giant rear end walls those people presumably would live in.

They were in episode 1 and 4, and they're the group the main characters are planning on joining.

I liked the giant titan just suddenly BAM appearing. It left me feeling for more shocked than if they had some slooooooow pan as he peeked over, with every single character on the wall having a reaction shot as he did, before they all got knocked off and had the follow up. Hell, they could have got out of there faster if they did that. Still, at this point I suspect the fact he just suddenly appears with a bolt out of the blue is an actual thing somehow, since he did it the first time. Also Sasha is amazing and I hope she doesn't end up becoming the food she so loves. ... at least not until much later.

This is a bit back in the thread but to expand on this a monthly manga generally seems to come out at a rate of roughly one volume per year. From what I've seen it takes around 5-6 volumes at least for a 13 episode series, which can vary a lot depending on various factors, but just as a rule of thumb. There were ten volumes of Titan manga out last I checked. So it's very possible they will basically go all the way to where the manga is now for this series. After that it would take in the neighborhood of ten years for the manga to have enough material for a second season. At that point you're more into remake territory than second season. Although there have been shows like Slayers with some pretty significant gaps between seasons, I think most were not as focused on a continuing story. Keep in mind also that Dragon Ball and Naruto are both weekly series and so have material coming out a pretty steady clip but still need filler and padding. Basically what I'm saying is prepare your hearts for an original ending. And then to find out what really happens in the manga.

Attack on titan started in september 2009. Why would it take a year for a single volume? Are you expecting 12 chapter volumes? So 60-72 chapters per 13 episodes? There is literally nothing about this post that makes the slightest bit of sense. Edit: No, but seriously now. Depending on how this adaptation and the manga go, they could probably do a 13 episode add-on per year for the next two or three years.

Monthly manga are often 3x the side of normal chapters, so volumes typically have 3-4 chapters, not 12. I think 5-6 volumes for that would be 15-20-ish chapters, so a 26-episode series isn't unreasonable. Alternatively, if they change up the pacing a bit, I can see them stretching it out a bit further than that.
