What's up with Attack on Titan: Lost Girls OVA?
It's already out, but is it only available in Japan. I think it was a DVD that was bundled with one of the AOT volumes but I don't know which. The trailer for it looks awesome!
I wasn't too interested at first, since it was a side story that wasn't even written by Isayama but now I gotta see it.

That's a pretty cool exclusive for Japan.

Re: Attack On Titan
I'm two episodes in of Season 3.
I didn't like the way they made Levi look in the first episode, but he's back to looking normal in episode 2.
I think this story arc of the manga was my least favorite, but they're handling it in the anime is pretty exciting.
The intro doesn't feel very AoT-like but I guess it's supposed to remind us of the innocence of the main characters. I liked little Eren meeting soldier Eren.
Like I said, I thought Eren kidnapped and stuck in the trees, as well as this story arc were way too drawn out in the manga. But I'm actually enjoying the cloak and dagger/suspense thriller vibe of this season. It helps get a better sense of the world in which the characters live in.

Re: Attack On Titan
Wow, I still got the first "season" of the AoT series, and was hoping if anything else was available on Blu-ray. Kinda sucks they haven't ported anything else over to the US or at least in subtitles.

Re: Attack On Titan
So far I'm not feeling season 3 all that much. The plot device of Eren getting kidnapped every season is getting old. Eren went from a bad ass who was ready to single handedly slaughter every Titan in his path. To whining and crying that Christa and/or her dad should eat him because reasons.

Re: Attack On Titan
That episode in the underground caverns was a serious dive in quality. So much so that I was thinking of quitting the show. But since then the quality is back to being top tier.
This latest episodes, including "The Night of the Battle to Retake the Wall"...
I thought my computer was fucked up when watching the end credits song of the "The Night of the Battle..." episode but apparently other people had similar issues when watching it.
About the production of Attack on Titan...
Apparently this last episode had like 52 animators on it. I was reading a Reddit thread on it and apparently, that's not a good thing. They were saying that there's been some issues producing the episodes since the first season, and apparently it's not uncommon for these types of shows to finish an episode the day they're supposed to turn it to be aired.
I always thought that Attack on Titan had exceptional animation, but it sounds like the production team is putting blood, sweat and tears into this thing just to keep it going. Supposedly working in the Japanese animation industry does not pay well, and the workload is insane. That's why the quality is so high.
Damn.

Re: Attack On Titan
Ohhh, I love Attack on Titans manga and the anime series! Just discovered it and can't stop watching and reading! Trying not to spoil everything out too soon, but there are so many unanswered questions!I hope it will stay as good as it is in the beginning

Re: Attack On Titan
Just some things I've noticed flipping between the manga and watching the anime:
The manga is more explicit in the violence and gore. Watching Season 3 though, you can tell that they cut away before we see any real gore.
And yet, in the manga, they sometimes inconsistently shy away from using curse words.
Annie calls Eren a "suicidal blockhead." "Blockhead" seems like a very child-like insult for soldiers, who regularly say "shit," and deal with death all the time.
Eren was referred to as a "suicidal bastard" in the anime.
And yet, when Armin yells that the Female Titan stomped on "the one who rushed to soon to his death..." I didn't get it. He was apparently referring to Eren.
I'm pretty sure it was "John" in the early episodes and not "Jean."
I could have sworn I've seen it both called Survey Corps and Scouting Regiment.

I just assumed in the case of "blockhead" they were trying to avoid saying "bastard."
But now that I'm reading some more details of the manga, the literal translation of Eren's nickname is "the one who is in a hurry to die."
So far I'm reading in other forums that it's suicidal bastard/suicidal maniac/suicidal blockhead.
I don't even remember now where I heard "suicidal bastard from." I could have sworn they call him that in the early episodes, so it's weird that later on it's not used.
Probably different translators for different episodes.

Re: Attack On Titan
Watched S2 over the last 3 days. Wasn't bad. Ended much earlier than I hoped it would. A little dramatic in areas that I would have preferred otherwise and the volume levels are dramatic in scenes where they scream over each other. Still, a good series.

Re: Attack On Titan
I love how this show will take answers to questions you've been wondering about the whole time and just dumps it on you with zero fanfare. It's like, "Wait, did they just say what I think they said?! WTF!?!!?"
