Better than Gurren Lagann, Clanaad, Magi, Dragon Ball or Nichijou?
I highly doubt that.

Better than Dragonball? Lol yes.
Better than Nichijou or Clanaad? Not compareable.
Better than Gurren Lagann? ...that is not a hard task.

Went to Rank #31 Userscore on MAL with just one Episode.

I want to watch it but have no legal way to do so at the moment.

And right after I say that, Funimation announces they're streaming it. But only to their subscribers.

Not all of their streams require a subscription. Only some of them. Sometimes it's part of the deal they make with the Japanese company. Crunchyroll only streamed Fairy Tail to subscribers at first because of that reason.

Episode 2... blew me away once more.

Well, i certainly know what i'm gonna buy on blu-ray and re-watch on the couch with friends on ze big TV.
The Directing is amazing. The Animation. And that music.
Some "shots" seemed really familiar to me though... so i googled the director


> Tetsuro Araki
> Director Black Lagoon
> Director Death Note
> Director Kurozuka
> Director Highschool of the Dead
> Director Guilty Crown
> Director Attack on Titan

Oh. My. God.

Eh, maybe I'll give it a shot when I don't have to download it.

I like my gritty anime but I much prefer stuff like Haruhi or Persona 4 that's lighthearted and silly, even if there are some gritty bits mashed in.

Okay, so Crunchyroll is also streaming it. New episodes are only for subscribers, but they open to non-subscribers after a week once the new one is out. I don't know if Funimation will be doing the same thing or not.

No, not all of their shows are subscription only. I watched most of Eureka seveN AO on Funi's site and I'm not a subscriber. Most of One Piece is free too.

Because they are a licensed company.
It would be illegal for them to release the anime for free, unless they have bought the rights to it.

Advertisements! Those ads pay for that stream to be made! And then you get to watch for free! And if you pay for a subscription, you don't have to watch ads. That entitled attitude is what is KILLING the American anime industry. It's why companies like Central Park Media and Geneon went out of business, or companies like ADV have to restructure just to stay in the game. Too many young anime fans don't realize that if they don't pay for anime, anime will go away. All that will remain is fansubs, and where's the fun in that? Files on your computer isn't as cool as a big bookshelf full of physical anime DVDs. And if you don't support legal streams, there won't be legal streams. You'll be back at the mercy of fansubbers. Fansubs have a place, but they aren't supposed to replace legal streams, they're supposed to be for shows that don't get licensed, old shows that will never get licensed, and countries that don't get access to legal streams (and even then there's ways to get around region blocking). Anime isn't like music or movies that have huge mobs of people that will always pay to get the new CD or whatever. Anime has a small audience, and the vast majority of them all know how to get anime in ways that the anime companies don't want you to get it. And if we all do that, there won't be anime in America anymore, at least not legal anime releases.

d'awww...
Ironically, i feel like i'm the exact opposite of this. (But only in the case of Anime.)
Probably because i watched so much cutsie-pie moe... crap previously. lol.

It annoys me in games and movies though too. Everythings dark n' gritty.
For me, i kinda like the Indiana Jones / Dragonball / Bleach-Style where it can get really dark and gritty, but still really lighthearted and fun inbetween.

I hope you enjoy it whenever you get back to it. I have a feeling this might even get into my favourites list.
Though, i am not sure if this style of "serious" can sustain two whole seasons...

This. Funi might dub, they might not. If Funi puts it out on DVD, they will dub it since Funi dubs all of their stuff. But as far as I know, they haven't said they're going to release it outside of streaming.

From my experience, animes that pull that stunt either end up with everyone dead, or a surprisingly heart warming and merry ending...
I hope for the latter.

It's the same up until about when Nina gets chimera'd. From around there, the first anime is its own thing and Brotherhood is based solely on the manga.

The first anime caught up with the manga, so instead of going into filler, it just did its own thing until the end.

And I've heard they were planning on doing the same thing with Soul Eater.

It's a good anime in it's own right you jerk.

Not a fan of it. Its one of the very few anime i actually dropped.
It was incredibly boring and reminded me of Pokémon with the... walk town to town to get... a fetch quest in each...

If I recall correctly, the anime was like that up until they meet their "Teacher". After that, the anime becomes more or less a philosophical look on "equivalent exchange".

FMAB again? lol
I dont know, FMA itself just seemed like another shonen show.

And doesnt it also start with these things you apparantly hate so much? The dead parents?
I dont even remember xD


Either way, this Shingeki no Kyojin just... introduced a element that i... saw coming and was hoping it would not do it.
But it did. Though, it did it really good. Curious how this is gonna work out though.

The sound design is amazing. This show needs to end already so i can buy it on blu-ray and boom it out on the sound system!  xD

Animation Quality is still great, though there are more of these "static shots" that are common in anime. They seem really out of place here since usually everything is really high quality. But thats just a nitpick.


In other news, Japanese Film Studio Toho (best known for Godzilla) has aquired the rights to produce a live-action movie based on "Shingeki no Kyoujin" - or "Attack on Titan". The Movie will simply be titled "Titans" and is going to be
the most expensive movie ever produced in Japan.

It wasn't so much I didn't like it, as it was I watched it at the wrong time. I wholeheartedly took that recommendation and finished it the same day hoping it was going to be another CLANNAD, and was soul crushingly dissapointed.

But now that I've calmed down, looking back on it for what it was, it's quite the entertaining watch if you're into mysteries with a bland as f*ck female protagonist.

The only thing I want you to watch is FMAB. Watch 1 episode a day if you must.

"I tried SAO but the entirety of it is just so shallow. There is no depth, just a bunch of women following a guy that's supposed to be "Awesome" in every way. Personal taste? You mean NO taste. I'm sorry but even the forums of /a/ say SAO is complete crap. Another thing, don't compare the two just because they're of a similar setting. They have nothing to do with one another. You should be judging by the amount of actual story and thought goes into the show rather than the looks."

Seriously, they may be similar concepts, but the story, writing, characters, depth, pacing, EVERYTHING are soo different you can't even compare...

.Hack is leagues above SAO in every possible way shape or form, don't ever compare them again, unless you're one of those people who compares every first person view video game to Call of Duty...

He is a meanie.

"Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans."

I don't watch a lot of anime, the only ones I've actually watched all the way/kept up to date with are Naruto, Bleach, Sword Art Online, and of course Attack on Titan. To be quite honest, it's for real the best anime i've ever watched and I'm filled with anticipation like hell for the next episode.

Recently Volume 11 came out.

The current Anime Series holds about 6 volumes.

After consulting all my friends who talk about it a lot, I decided to give this anime another go yesterday. I'm happy I did.

What I like is the soundtrack first of all, it kicks soo much ass. The animation and character designs creeped me out at first, but they grew on me around ep.5. I also really like how they've captured the feeling of desperation and powerlessness that should be around when a species is on the brink of extinction that some other fictional material tend to take lightly.

What I didn't like is the over exaggeration of some scenes like Armin doing the salute to plead Eren's case, the Titans still creep me out, but I guess that's the point, and the inconsistency of the intelligence of the Titans, sometimes they're smart enough to jump and catch them while they're in the air, or to just outright grab them by their "rope" and stop their mobility, but other times they just stand there idly and just wait for someone to slice their neck... I also don't like Eren constantly telling Mikasa to fuck off. And Mikasa cut her hair =(

But all in all, I think it's a good show, not in my top 10, but still a good show.

Finally finished the first season yesterday, and this is a damn good show. May not be in my personal top 10 list, but I can see what all the hype is about.
My favourite characters so far have to be Mikasa, Armin and Levi.
Mikasa, cause I find it interesting how she can shift her Persona on the drop of a hat. One minute she's a normal woman, then she's a submissive shy girl, now she's a psychopathic murder junkie.

Armin, cause I like how they took the "wimp" character, and turned him into the most essential member of the group, nothing would get done without this guy. And I like that he made the jump from "ermagawd noone needs me" into confident badass relatively quickly.

Levi, cause he may look like an uncaring jerk who only cares for the mission and could give fuck-all about anyone else, but he isn't, he's really a nice guy =).

But I'm not liking Eren...

The set ending that was going to happen at Volume 20 is now gone.

The Autor of the Manga said in an interview that the set ending is now gone and he has no idea how he's going to end it.
As reason he cites the incredible popularity of the anime and love for the characters from the Fans.
The ending would've only upsetted the fans of the anime, he says.

The original ending was supposed to be one of the bittersweet kind, where everyone was going die. He specifically called out the Hollywood movie 'Mist' as inspiration.
