The One True Oden

Well, it also helps that we were pointing at anime watchers and laughing at their speculation about the basement getting resolved any time soon, so we realized what a non-goal that actually is.

Actually, I think the basement is almost a metaphor for the author in how he sees if he's earned or made it somehow. You'd think he'd be happy with getting an anime, but I'm wondering if he doesn't feel like he's gotten there until season 2 of an anime starts up and then we'll have the basement reveal.

Ironically, the anime's committee is probably waiting for a reveal of the basement mystery in order to make sure the manga is actually going somewhere before they commit to season 2. There's definitely enough material for another season the same length as the first at this point.

Will Erwin see the basement? Wait another month before the anime starts to confirm.

You are aware it's been in production for a while yeah? I mean you really think they're not going to put it out considering what a cash cow it's been on literally every front for them?

Maybe he's waiting to put together a kickstarter, to fund the final basement reveal for a billion yen.

Given the weird memory poo poo we've been getting into, the manga could do that and still have the basement be a vital treasure trove of information. :v:

the basement is full of papers and books detailing the history of the world and titans, with the methods to stop them

but they don't have time to read all those papers and they die escaping with a cart full of notes

In the basement is a note reading

It just occurred to me that his house took a direct shot from a flying boulder.

It'd be ironic if the basement was totally collapsed and everything was buried and destroyed.

And by ironic I mean :suicide:

AoT the anime had just enough cool ideas and complex enough characters that I've watched it from beginning to current end a few times. I actually kind of give a poo poo about some of the characters and don't want them to release another series of 10 episodes that covers like one book and then disappear again for 7 years while they make the next. If I read the manga, could I skip the training corps stuff? imo Eren is the most boring loving person in the series and things get infinitely better once everyone's in the Scouting Legion and suddenly everyone is a Vietnam veteran. Would I be missing anything if I just skipped to that part?

Start reading at chapter 33.

My recollection is fuzzy and Terper might be right but consider starting around 31 or 32 instead. Whichever one is the start of the Annie fight inside the city. The fight was extended in the anime for an end of season, surplus budget blowing extravaganza, which is cool and all but it winds up altering things which screw up the chapters immediately following it.

There''s like a few conversations during the training arc you're missing but honestly it's not that huge of a deal. Just start reading at some point around when the gang is trying to lead Annie into the tunnel and you're golden.

So did Levi accidentally shank a transformed Erwin, or is he realizing that he can inject Erwin and have him eat the monkey titan shifter? The page is kind of tiny.

I guess this means we don't have to. He's just a representative of a larger faction whose mindset we'll explore through other characters. Presumably, the shifter village has other senior officers in its military.
