DrSunshine posted:Yeah, this is probably one of the most egregious examples of the "Girl is twisting such that you can see her boobs and rear end at the same time" pose, AKA the Hawkeye Initiative pose, I've ever seen. Agree on both parts. I like the idea that the only instrument left was that tambourine, but Connie's playing the hell out of it because he doesn't want to let anyone down. But, man, that card. If that didn't have the little credit on it that all the end cards do, I'd assume it was lifted from a porn site/pixiv account.

Sindai posted:Sasha's VA's is by far the best. So Sasha's VA is named Yū Kobayashi, eh? Who's that other famous (to Westerners) Japanese person named Kobayashi again? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeru_Kobayashi Takeru Kobayashi, the competitive eater and former champion of the Nathan's hotdog eating contests  Could it get any more fitting? It would be even more wild if they just happened to actually be related. Also, relating to the latest anime episode, who were the people who bumrushed Annie? Are those Scouting Legion support personnel helping out, or did they just pay some random pedestrians to help them assault this one policewoman.

Sasha's VA is appropriate because her VA is even weirder than the character. Merry Christmas!

Yeah I was hoping somebody would make a gif of that guy as soon as I watched the episode. Perhaps he's a veteran, and that's why he can do parkour like that.

Abitha Denton posted:That guy is way too alive to be a veteran in this series. I meant like, a veteran from before Maria fell where the military were just there to do maintenance on the wall and get drunk; they'd still teach you how to use 3DMG even if it was only useful for the Scouts. And to go back a few pages, what is this about Annie having a mental breakdown? I never interpreted it as a mental breakdown, just a crazy psycho grin because she's getting pumped up to fight, and with the anime's addition of the weird blushing and laughter....I dunno, maybe she is sexually aroused by the sense of a jig being up? Maybe she plays Mafia but when she's the Mafia or Cop or Doctor or other special role she heavily hints her role so she can get caught? And somebody also said that there was laughter even in the cut published version of the manga, just offscreen. Anybody who knows Japanese, what does it say in the bottom of the panel between Team Jaeger's reaction shots?

Well he was holding onto her left arm before he got launched into the sky from her explosive blast thing. He wouldn't have survived the blast, his parkour powers never had a chance to save him.

Whole bunch of manga readers in the anime thread forgetting that the second Annie/Eren training scene occurs as a flashback during the Armored Titan fight, it hasn't been cut (yet)

Elotana posted:Whole bunch of manga readers in the anime thread forgetting that the second Annie/Eren training scene occurs as a flashback during the Armored Titan fight, it hasn't been cut (yet) I'm pretty sure the anime cut the scene from chapter 16 where Eren talks about how he's been practicing his kicks, and Annie says he's terrible but if he wants she can teach him some more. It's just 2 pages but it does show that they spend more time together and he knows a lot about her fighting style, which is kinda important for the next episode's stuff. Of course it has been months since the training episode and maybe I forgot if it was there. Pretty sure it wasn't, though.

According to the wiki, Sasha was originally supposed to die in chapter 36, but that got changed at the last moment. I'm thinking either she's out of the story entirely now, or will show up again after this arc is done.

That prologue thing has a good reason for why Sasquatch doesn't recognise the 3D gear if they've only been around for less than 30 years. Seems a little short to me, though.

Attack on Titan: before the fall. Thus far only the prologue of the manga adaptation has been translated, it's not on Baka-Tsuki or anywhere that I know of. also Shingeki no Kyojin : Before the Fall, Marching Giants : BtF etc etc. AxeBreaker fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Sep 18, 2013 |

From the anime thread:MetricUnit posted:The walls seem like they're going to be one of the big mysteries of the show. They would have to have been built before titans existed, but why would you build 50m high walls unless you know the titans are coming? Where did they get the obscene amount of stone/labor to build it? I'm sure when it comes up the Wall cult is going to have our answers, maybe they're even responsible for creating titans and they built the walls because they knew they were coming. I've love to see his reaction when Mikasa peels off a piece of the wall and sees that Titan's eye staring back at her.

My longshot on that: -human-titans built the wall using other human-titan shifters as base, since they caused the apocalypse -normal humans found the walls, invaded and drove the human titans away. -human-titans rebuilt elsewhere.

LuisX posted:My longshot on that: I'm thinking way back when the royalty started forcing peasants and serfs into becoming cheap, mindless labour by stealing the power of titans from some that already existed. Over time they started an uprising and people like Ymir helped lead it which lead to them building a wall with human-titans to protect the upper class. The lower class only exist to serve them which would account for nobody actually knowing who the king is and that the inner circle is basically parties everyday.
