Isn't Levi literally the most popular character in the entire series though? I thought they actually changed a few scenes in the anime to include him just because of that.

This series of shorts is pretty good too, though it starts right about when Eren is first revealed as a titan.

Eren's mom isn't dead, she just disappeared in a portal to the Shadow Realm through Chuckles' mouth.

They'd do what the German Naruto dub did to the Uchiha Clan and say she was kidnapped by the titans. Just edit in the sound of her giving herself up to save her kids while looping the footage of Eren being carried away and there you go.

I was wondering about watching the live action movie so I looked up a few clips.



I don't think I'll watch the movie.

Yeah, I remember it's mentioned that the material for the "super hard blades" can only be found in the interior of the walls.

Didn't one of the side stories reveal the material to be super hard bamboo?

The walls were, I'm talking about the swords.

edit: I think the spears were like the walls as well, you're right there.

Hehe, these silly wall people, rushing to their death. Not that i left them any choice with my meticulous trap and superior planning :smug:
Wait where's my entire encirclement on the right side?

I'll be pissed if they don't spend at least 20% of the season's budget on that scene

That's a classic Yeager gently caress up right there, must run in the family.

On the other hand if the titans ran out of people to eat, surely they'd congregate towards the next largest congregation of humanity. Which would surely be their home across the sea. I mean, titans can't drown right? If they can float they'd eventually make it across the sea, and if they sink to the sea floor eventually enough will pile up that the rest can walk across.

I think a lot of the 'is AOT fascist' things were because of the author having some ill-advised opinions on Japan's history with South Korea, a general named after a war criminal (I think it was Pixis?) while Mikasa is explicitly named after a Japanese warship. With that in mind I can see people being a bit more wary of things they'd otherwise dismiss in works without that context.

Plus it's super popular and current so some people will look for any excuse to be a Cool Kid who doesn't watch the edgy titan show and say that anyone who does is a bad person. I mean nobody writes essays about how Sailor Moon is fascist because the future is her establishing an eternal monarchy over earth.

And I suppose it was the Attack Titan in her which motivated her to free the pigs ?

I thought the implication there was that she was just a scapegoat for the rest, because she was small and weak and the least likely to protest her innocence and try to blame someone else.

edit: beaten.

It might end in a couple chapters but there's no reasons those chapters couldn't be a little bit longer than normal too.

They managed to distract titans that were in view of Eren though, is the thing. They were running around Eren to clear the path as he was carrying the boulder.

Yeah, and when Eren first shifts multiple titans become aggressive towards him, like the guy whose head he smacks off that very purposefully roars and charges at him on sight, or the group that eats his arms off. They ignore the relatively heavily populated supply tower to attack Eren instead.

Also the 'baby' titan that gets yeeted.

I think it's worth noting that something does change about the cycle - consider how Ymir found the tree, versus how the child in the credits did. Fear and pain as she's hunted alone, while the child has calm curiosity with a friend. Something is different this time, and maybe hold hope that means things can be better.

Attack On Dog would've been a superior anime but instead of killing titans they had to get them to sit.
