really boring 1st episode

>>155411537
Seriously, how are they going to animate this scene? I just can't get it done in my head.

I already got my share of monkey trouble jokes back in 2013.

>>155411531
Really? Only 12? I thought a typical anime season is like 24 episodes.

>>155411537
Who would even be surprised at this reveal?
I remember that before the Female titan even appear we already know who the Colossal and armor titan are.

>>155411537
That was just fucking retarded, how can you set up the biggest reveal at that point in the series like that?

>>155411454
AoT is overrated trash. All the normalfags who started hating on SAO became AoT enthusiusts. Anyone who thinks otherwise is also retarded. AoT asspulls Titan magic in a world where technology isnt even used. Wall? No other defensive mechanisms?

>tfw you realize you could've literally finished uni since attack on tits season 1

hmm

>>155411537
>>155412495
Hanji is talking to someone at the same time, i could imagine that the scene is centered on Hanji talking, and whenever she pauses for a moment, we hear bits of the conversation of Reiner dropping his spaghetti in the background.

Also no music, just the wind blowing.

>>155413110
It wasn't even a reveal dumbass. Some guy already figured out their identity 10 chapters in. http://forums.mangafox.me/threads/430977-Titans-Discussion-Thread?p=9251318&viewfull=1#post9251318

>neo-/a/

>>155413378
I think so too. Or Hanji's dialogue gets toned down while Reiner's gets louder while the camera zooms in on them

This is something I was thinking about to but as long as we get that shot of mikasa overhearing I'm good although it probably wont be as funny as it was in the manga.
What was Reiner thinking anyway did he really think Eren was gonna be like "Oh well lets leave then" with the two people who destroyed his village they shoulda grabbed him and dipped without saying anything.

>>155415573
Man, I love this, I laughed so much.

>>155415738
best reveal in any manga I've ever read just because of how fucking unsubtle it was

>>155413271
>normalfags
>hating on SAO

>>155413110
Actually it was fucking great. There are ways to reveal information without it being some major climax. Because they wanted to reason with Eren they chose to be inconspicuous, which makes sense. Making it a two page spread or something would make no sense.

>>155415988
Have you been living under a rock?

>>155415988
its been pretty "normal" to shit on SAO for a while most people don't like it at all

Literally the greatest reveal ever.

>>155416834
yea thats the joke you an anime only anon

>>155415573
yo honestly im sorry for not reading, i couldnt find myself caring

what the fuck is the build up here, does the bomb just drop like this? thats so fucking funny

>>155413110
It's so stupid it's genius.

>>155417001
it just drops

you read it fast like some offhand conversation that's not even important since it's in the background then you just go "wait what the fuck" and it's just there. The whole thing was perfectly delivered

>>155412987
Shut up you retard, ONE GUY had a hairbrained crackpot theory that concluded that they were the Collosal and Armored Titans, and most people passed it off as nonsense, attributing the few points of evidence as panel errors or coincidence.
It was still quite a huge reveal when the chapter came out.

>>155417001
it practically came out of nowhere I can't remember if they were heading out after hearing about the beast or what but it just drops it was great.

>>155415573
>What was Reiner thinking anyway
He was panicked as shit, you saw it best on his and Bert's faces in the chapters which the most recent episode covered. They had no idea Zeke was going to show up and do what he was doing, and as far as they knew, they had taken too long and someone from the mainland showed up to do the whole operation without them.
All they knew was that suddenly the wall was broken and titans were inside, they had to act fast, and as we already saw, Reiner is starting to have some mental problems come to the surface.

>>155416834
Yes, that's why she tries to cut off Bert's head on the next page, don't you remember? You have read it, right?

>>155417165
It was right after the Castle Utgard shit went down, I can't remember why they got on top of that wall but they were basically all just recuperating from the shitstorm that just hit them and trying to understand the situation, since there was no hole in the wall whatsoever.

>>155415573
Well there was an interview with Isayama and he said there was an important scene that he's looking forward to and that he gave a lot of suggestions to the staff about it. 90% sure he meant this one.

>>155417243
>>155417372
gotcha its been a while of course it was after the beast titan dilemma because bert and reiner were with the rest of the squad then sorry I forgot the order of the events between that the castle and the reveal.
appreciate it.

>>155417136
Eh. It seemed pretty obvious to me, and I didn't even follow any of the threads.

Pretty good 1st episode

>>155419000
The character designs, for one. Like, come on. That, plus their close relationship to one another made it more than obvious.

I am having severe trouble because all I can hear is Orga. Shit.

>>155411454
Great intro, I missed this show so much.

>>155417372
you think it'll be ep 2 or 3?

>>155419380
We still have to get through all of the wandering around shit, Connie's village, AND Utgard. It'll be like episode 5 or 6, MAYBE the end of 4, and the rest of the season will be them chasing down Reiner and Bert.

>>155411454
Seiyuus are really bad actors.

>>155419296
I don't like the intro at all, doesn't hold a candle to either OP of the first season.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIyIuSHI0MYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMXgHfHxKVM

Granted, it is hard to stack up to the first OP which was incredibly catchy and with a lot of flair in the visuals too, but still.

>>155411454
Can someone give me a quick rundown about what happens in the series?

>>155420256
Yeah humanity lives inside walls and giant naked humanoids called titans are attacking them.

>>155420256
Yeah some cool shit happens but some shit is shit and theres some big naked humanoids too

>>155411531
It would take less than two cours to catch up to the manga. In fact it might only take 16-17 episodes really.

>>155412519
Nah, crossboarder-kun, most shows released per season are 12 episodes. These days even 24-26 episode orders sometimes take a season long break after half the episodes air, saving the rest for later in the year.

>>155420256
Annie is the Female Titan
Bertholdt is the Colossal Titan
Reiner is the Armored Titan
Ymir is the Dancing Titan
the Walls are Titans
Eren is the Shingeki no Kyojin Titen, just like his dad
Actually everyone except the Mary Sue asians are Titans, but they don't know it

>>155420461
>It would take less than two cours to catch up to the manga. In fact it might only take 16-17 episodes really.
Nah, the uprising arc would take a while, it could easily be its own 12 episode thing. The reclamation arc would be shorter but IMMEDIATELY leads in to the heavy backstory dumps we're still getting in the manga.

>>155411454
Lemon key face????

>>155413326
holy shit this i'm in my 3rd year uni

>>155419724
i guess, i thought maybe they'll cut through a bit of that since theres only 12 eps, but i suppose more or less the whole season is going to be that story

>>155411454
Man i miss the good ol days when monkey trouble was just revealed in the manga and every thread was just monkey trouble

>>155420461
You underestimate how much the manga covered in 4 years

how long before we get to the wild wild west?

Am I still an animeonly if I started the manga after finishing S1, but dropped it and this was so long ago I can't remember a thing that happens so essentially I'm going in blind?

>>155422624
Does it matter?

>>155420571

Yeah, the first season covered eight volumes in two cours and according to wikipedia (anime-only fag, sorry) we're now in the middle of volume 22, so assuming roughly consistent pacing they could fill out two cours with what they have.

It's probably more that they'd rather do single cours with breaks of 3-12 months in between (like what Fate/Zero and UBW did) than a two cour season followed by another 2-3 year break. Keeps the brand fresher in peoples' minds, keeps fans more engaged, and gives them more opportunities for selling merch, on top of it being easier on the animators to make quality material than if they had to make twice as many episodes back to back, I'd imagine.

>>155423157
>they could fill out two cours with what they have.
But 8 volumes for the first season means 4 volumes per cour. After the first season there's 14 volumes left which is 3 and a half more cours of anime.

>>155420256
The Jews are oppressing the Nazis for revenge but don't genocide them back because only people of Nazi blood can use titan powers. The king of the Nazis used his titan powers to build a big wall on an island and the Jews dump titans there constantly

>>155420461
Dude, the material covered by the 24 eps in s1 is like a fraction of everything that came out since. The rest should be enough for like 50+ eps
