 MANGA THREAD THIS WAYSeason 3 of Attack on Titan premiered today, check it out if you haven't. Tag anything that might be remotely construed as a spoiler. Try to avoid wink-wink nudge-nudge poo poo about stuff we haven't seen. E: if you absolutely must post manga spoilers for some reason, clearly tag them as such. Try not to post stuff that's wildly out of context Please don't import fan-theories from reddit (these frequently end up being a manga reader posting spoilers disguised as a "theory") JahRoo fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Jul 23, 2018 |

Been seeing a lot of people online who dislike this season's OP but I thought it was awesome.

The op is good. Also I forgot about the whole Armin getting molested thing, and I still don't know why it's there in the first place

I’m really curious about how the anime handles this first half. I personally enjoyed this story arc, but it’s pacing was pretty all over the place.

Sindai posted:I like the OP, but I can certainly see why it gave people whiplash. Maybe the second half will go back to the fascist rage screaming, because that OP is way too mellow for this angry series, especially going forward. It's more like what I'd expect over the end credits.

I'm glad they broke the streak of "trying to recreate the magic of the first OP" because they were getting lame. I wasn't fond of sasageyo.

Saagonsa posted:The op is good. Have you ever been to Pixiv to look up fanart for Attack on Titan? I did a few times, and I've never been back. There are a LOT of sex weirds in the Japanese fandom who decided that Armin was going to be the focus of that kind of fetish, long ago even before that scene. The author, Hajime Isayama, has been pretty outspoken against creepy anime culture poo poo before. Often in a funny way, saying things like, "Well, I really sat down and thought a lot about Moe, and how I felt about it, and that's how I came up with Mikasa" I read that scene as a giant hilarious gently caress YOU. Just like that scene that comes later that's a giant gently caress YOU to people who thought the series was a call to return to militaristic Japanese Nationalism. You know the one.

I rewatched the end of season 2 recently, and I assumed that we were not going to the basement this season, but the open shot with an older Eren makes me wonder if we might actually get there. My (nearly) blind guesses, based on the trailer, promotional art, and (now) opening:

So yeah, for anyone who's already watched the latest episode, I've been waiting ~4 years for the cross-dressing Armin gambit to be conveyed in animated form.

The OP is a great whiplash for how much the genre of this series changed focus over arcs.

There's something about this season's first episode that feels kinda lackluster compared to the first episodes of seasons 1 and 2. I think it's the people murdering other people. It seems almost mundane compared to titan murders.

I'm real sad that Season 3's OP is just the most boring poo poo. I'm too used to the show's openers being super hype and so good that they're fun to listen to away from the anime. This one's just a snoozer. gently caress it, I'll edit this post and keep going in order to add that the composition of the first 3 OPs is elegant, talented, and skillful in a way that was unique, surprising, and energetic. It wasn't just cool music for a cool anime opening, it was just plain good music. The new OP just sounds like the same trash you'd hear in 80%-90% of other animes. Bleh! That being said, I'm real mad that the best, most giffable clip in the episode is covered in loving end credits. Come the gently caress on.  Anyway, plot looks to be moving real fast, so I'm at least happy about that. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Jul 24, 2018 |

They were all* about 'sacrificing yourself (sasageyo) for the cause', 'exterminate them all', 'fight the monsters'. And now that we're fighting humans, the characters realize "oh gosh this is bad" and that bombastic freedom fighting against an unknowable enemy is gone and all the characters can do is look back on who they were and where they're going and question 'what's the truth, what's the lie, what to believe'. *they weren't all about that, and aot does not promote fascism, in fact it hates it

i'm sure someone could interpret jam project lyrics from super robot war games to be fascist if they wanted to ("GOD DEFEATS THEM ALL!" "SOMEBODY GIMME THE POWER!" "CRUSH ANYONE WHO BLOCKS THE WAY FORWARD AND PRESS ON!") so i wouldn't worry too much about it That being said, I was kind of expecting a more spooky mysterious vibe from the OP since this is basically the cloak and dagger chapter of the story, not this contemplative stuff. More X-Files or Mission Impossible, less mellow montage of characters looking wistful

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Can anyone explain the obsession with German language/names? If it is some spoiler nonsense that makes sense later, you can just say it gets addressed, but is it a WWII leftover thing or what? Japan took a lot of influences from Germany when the gov't started its modernization and industrialization campaign. The Japanese educational system, for example, was lifted whole cloth from the German model. There's long been a strain of Krautaboo in Japanese culture as a result.
