The Basement is pretty much Attack on Titan's Elf Island.

Basement is more likely to happen than Elf Island though, jus' sayin' :shrug:.

I think even the end of this arc, or the next one is going to be The Basement. That is if Eren doesn't get kidnapped again.

The Wallist/Military Police conspiracy is going to attack Levi's hideout and kidnap Eren, calling it now.

I know what's in the basement: nothing. Once Eren opens the door to the basement he will finally confront what his father did to him down there. If only mom was still alive, it would've never happened but those monsters killed her and left Eren alone with him. He was only a child, and his father was so much larger than him, he couldn't fight back. But, now Eren is bigger and stronger; he will never let him touch him again. He's going to confront that titan and win.

Screw fascist themes, AoT is obviously a metaphor for fighting back against abusive parents.

Before the Rage Titan reveal I used to joke with my friends that AoT was actually about this. Mikasa blatantly having a thing for Eren only made the potentially incestuous tones hit harder, because I did not know of her real origins yet.

If Eren hasn't reached the basement in 23 years, then we can call it Elf Island.

Does anyone have a link to those fake teaser pages? I wanted to show them to a friend who just got caught up with the anime, but I can't find them. I was specifically looking for the image of the supporting cast turning into titans.

You can only get the first and latest chapter on their website. The app gives you more of the back chapters but eventually you won't be able to get them there either since they are going to start selling them in some form.

So, decided to binge on this manga in a few days (Didn't pick it up after the anime airing) and having heard the author has taken a page or two from Muv-Luv, I cannot be the only one who thought at chapter 50...

:siren:Muv-Luv spoilers:siren:

that there'd be a chomp moment. While reading I had somehow managed to convince myself it would totally happen. :ohdear: Now that it didn't happen, I'm almost disapointed, it would've fit almost perfectly. :colbert: (No, not really, would've been kind of tiring, I suppose). But oh do I wish someone would make a few fake panels, present it to someone who hasn't read the manga as a part of the whole and record his reactions. Welcome to the PTSD train :kheldragar:

I agree. It's just going to be one big Kung Fu Panda moment and everyone will realize the secret ingredient to titans is nothing and everyone will be a titan. Because when everyone is a titan, no one is.

This christmas my sister surprised me with this:



First issue of Shingeki no Kyojin in brazilian portuguese. It is quite a surprise it got published here, I never though I would see it. Usually only the most widely popular mangas get published here, so I guess it shows how big this series got.

(title is "Attack of the Titans", in portuguese. A much better title than "Attack ON Titan")

Everything's spelled right and there are no mysterious punctuation marks, I think they did a good job considering Japan's bizarre inability to check translations or even spelling before they release it to the public.

I say Diamond is Not Crash gets a pass solely based off the fact that that Part had such lovely Duwang translation for such a long time, it's just so perfectly fitting.

Nice gift. Attack on Titan is apparently the #2 manga out there in terms of popularity right now. In America it is one of the highest selling graphic novel. I imagine there is going to be an even bigger explosion when they make a second season of the anime.

Edit. I like "Attack on Titan". It's got a nice ring to it that "Attack of the Titans" doesn't really have, but "Advance of the Giants" is also pretty good.
