I think the Titan's looks make the visuals really stand out, and make it even more creepy as they're cookie-monstering people.

I agree.

Just finished this series last week. Really enjoyed it and anticipating the next season.

I'm watching the OVAs now.

Yeah three were side-stories labeled as episode 3.25, 3.5, and 3.75.

While the last two were titled No Regrets Part 1 & 2 and was a prequel about the backstory of Erwin and Levi.

There was also 9 chibi specials.

Now there is a Junior High spin-off series coming out.

Has anyone here seen the live-action movies? When will they be released on video in the US?

Loved the anime and when it ended I started following the mangas. They're fun but damn, the writer/artist is dragging this thing out forever! I think that's the nature of most serialized mangas but it seems more noticeable in this series. One book I got from Barnes & Noble was almost all about them running from Titans. I was actually thinking that we would find out the mystery surrounding the basement but I don't care anymore. I will watch the anime when it comes back for Season 2 even though I already know what happens.

I think BigDave mentioned somewhere that it can run beyond season 3. But the Attack on Titans manga creator did mentioned specifically how many issues it will run. I cannot remember how many...

The latest issue of manga - it seems it has step up towards the basement.

Season Two should cover the Clash Of The Titans arc and the Uprising Arc. This current story arc will probably be in Season Three.

Back in 2013, the author said it would end with Volume 20. That would have been this coming Summer. The latest chapter is in the middle of Volume 19.

Then in 2014, he said he wanted to flesh out the characters more and extended the ending to Volume 25. That's probably why the boring political coup arc dragged on for a year and a half.

Anyways, it should end around Spring 2018. That'll give them enough content for a full Season Three.

Try reading this month to month. Installments only come out once a month.

Thanks for the reply...but more specifically, I wanted to know how many seasons of the anime are out so far?

So far there's just the one season (25 episodes). Season Two is expected sometime this year. It'll probably be during the Summer 2016 season.

Re: Attack On Titan
 
I don't consider it to have ever been delayed. Can't delay something that doesn't have enough material to adapt in the first place. Season 1 ended with adapting Chapter 35.

Today there is only 82 chapters out (78 if you go by the Chapters released in Volumes so far). That leaves 47 chapters currently available for an adaption. Considering they used 35 in Season 1, that's barely enough for a season 2 and still have a few chapters left depending on how they pace out the season.

As such, there simply wasn't enough for a season 2 before now.

If we consider where Season 2 will likely end so that it doesn't fall into the middle of an arc... It's gonna have to end with Chapter 70, which means another 35 chapter adaption for the season.

FUNIMATION ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO “ATTACK ON TITAN” SEASON 2 WITH PREMIERE SET FOR APRIL 2017

Posted by Lauren on 12/08/2016 at 6:00pm

Agreement with Kodansha Brings Global Hit Anime Series Back to U.S. & Canada

FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS – December 8, 2016. Funimation® Entertainment is proud to announce its acquisition of “Attack on Titan” Season 2 and the return of the worldwide hit anime series which was first introduced to U.S. and Canadian audiences in 2013. “Attack on Titan” Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in April 2017 in Japan.

“’Attack on Titan’ became an instant hit since it first streamed in 2013 and we are thrilled to bring fans the long-awaited Season 2 of the series,” said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and founder of Funimation. “’Attack on Titan’ is truly a worldwide phenomenon that has continued to grow at a non-stop pace. Fans can look forward to an exciting second season.”

“Attack on Titan” (“Shingeki no Kyojin” in Japanese) is based on the New York Times best-selling manga series by Hajime Isayama and tells the story of a world in which the last of humanity fights to survive against man-eating giants called Titans. With now 21 volumes in print and an estimated 70 million copies in print today, “Attack on Titan” has inspired spin-off manga and novels, the anime series, a live action movie and numerous video games. Funimation simulcast the original 25-episode, Season 1 of “Attack on Titan” as well as released it on home video throughout North America.

“’Attack on Titan’ is one of those rare titles that has reached true cult status with anime fans,” said Mike DuBoise, EVP and COO of Funimation. “It’s been more than 3 years since the last episode of ‘Attack on Titan’ Season 1 and passion from its fans has not waned. We look forward to premiering it on FunimationNow.”

They didn't say if it would be dubbed or subbed or both. So could very well be dubbed on FUNimation still.

1st episode of the 2nd season aired last night on Adult Swim. Funi's site is premiering the dub today. I had no idea AS was airing this until I saw it listed in my recorded shows for my DVR.

I sent you a PM with a 48-hour Guest Pass to Crunchyroll Premium.

I've got one more if anyone else needs it.

I didn't even think to look on AS

Re: Attack On Titan
 
Even though I'm all caught up with the manga, watching the story unfold in animated form is a real pleasure.

It's too bad they'll only be 12 episodes but the quality in each is really good.

Spoiler:
The reveal about Reiner and Bertolt was unexpected. I really like how they did the "12 hrs earlier" to keep the real a surprise, and I think they did something similar with Annie.

fujishig 05-10-17 10:36 AM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
Man season 2 is already up to that part, huh? Makes me want to check out the reactions of anime only viewers to that last episode.

brayzie 05-20-17 03:47 AM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
When Season 1 ended I had to get my fix so I started reading the manga which was ahead of animated series. It was definitely good, but I preferred the story in the animated form.

Anyway, certain moments that I thought were serviceable in the manga, turned out to be very dramatic in Season 2. The manga creator Isayama mentioned that he uses the animated series to tweak or fix things from the manga, for example...

Spoiler:

Ymir's Titan form before and after eating Marcel. I'm assuming there are more parts that he "fixed" but it's cool that he has an opportunity to create something at a fast pace, and then polish it/fine tune it, in another medium.



Like I said, there I prefer the anime, but the manga has some nuance that is left out from the other. Another example...

Spoiler:

Compare Annie revealing herself to Armin, Eren and Mikasa in the anime and the manga.
In the anime she just bursts out laughing, like she's crazy, not in control of herself, whereas in the manga she lets out a subtle grin, as if she enjoys what she's doing.

Also, in the anime Eren just looks on as Annie gets restrained by the Military Brigade, but in the manga he looks visibly disturbed by her getting restrained and gagged, like he had feelings for her her.

Re: Attack On Titan
 
That's good to hear. Hopefully it will be 20+ episodes and not 12.

Koby 06-27-17 07:24 PM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
A 2-cour (22-25 episode) season 3 will leave the anime just about fully caught up with the manga which only releases one chapter a month. Which means we'd likely be looking at another 3-5 year delay before getting a season 4 at that rate.

The PV for Season 3 did hint at a 2-cour season though based on some of the things it showed being in some later chapters that they wouldn't reach in a single cour. Which leads me to believe it'd be a two cour season, but I'd honestly prefer to see a one cour season if it meant we could get a season every other year as opposed to multi-year gaps between future seasons.

I think the manga is winding down though, so if it's popular it'll get animated soon enough.

I was really getting tired of some of the manga's subplots, I just wanted to find out what was in the damn basement! But things have really got interesting lately.

Re: Attack On Titan
 
Kinda meh on the 2nd season. Not much ground was covered. Especially compared to the 1st.

brayzie 09-15-17 12:22 AM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
Yeah, but that's only because it was a lot less episodes. Had it been the same # as the first season it would have been perfect.

Do you guys watch it subbed or dubbed? Because I think the American voices are awful. Armin's voice doesn't match his body, Mikasa doesn't sound cool...
Reiner is alright, but the original voice actors are overall just better.
Eren's Titan yell is awful in the American version too.

Thrush 09-15-17 10:40 AM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
Maybe but by episode 12 of season 1:

Spoiler:
Wall Maria was breached. Eren lost his parents. Joined the military. Wall Rose was breeched.
Eren fought the Colossal Titan. Got eaten and killed (so we thought). Returned in Titan form then agreed to try to move the boulder to seal the breach in wall Rose.

fujishig 09-16-17 12:05 PM

Re: Attack On Titan
 
I think that's more because of the pacing of the manga. There's going to be a point, probably the end of season 3 or season 4, where things just seem to move at a crawl and it seems like an entirely different manga.
