I want this to be good but I don't think I've seen a good anime/manga turned live action movie that turned out well. Gantz? Library Wars? Blugh.
I like their equipment in these promotional shots though.

They have rocket launchers in Attack on Titan?
They used bows in attack on Titan?
trainwrek or mildly serviceable despite chasing trends? take your pick.
It won't. Posted multiple times already was a preview of what the SFX team is doing with the titans. Mostly practical effects, that looked great.
Mikasa was also of mixed ancestry, so yeah, I'd say so.

Eh, I thought she looked great. I mean, with a bow and arrow as your main weapon, they probably just went with a familiar pose.
They better dye that Annie.
Yeah. The casts look very weird to me because of this eventhough it can't be helped being Japanese production.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They should have gotten Sasha's actress to be doing Zoe's pose and replaced the rocket launcher with a potato.
Well in this case, everyone other than Mikasa and her mom being white would actually fit the source material.
But it's a Japanese production so it's understandable. Wish they would die Armin's hair blonde though.

Sasha is the only character that matters.
This movie is going to be dog shit, I can't wait.

I don't think it was intentional, but the author kind of went along with the androgyny, apparently. Then again, he also approved the English title as "Attack on Titan."

Honestly, if there was one character I hoped would be cast white it's her to get those blue eyes and blond hair look without contacts and a wig (which look way too fake).
And yes, her wonderful and distinguished trademark of aquiline nose!!! That is like NEVER seen in anime/mange unless it's on an old character

Hange is still androgynous in the manga. He gives all of the other female characters the usual body types, but Hange was cleary drawn with a flat and blocky figure not all that long ago.

Can't be worse than the recent manga issues.

So equally as inaccurate, but maybe with better effects budget?
I'll look forward to it.

The wait for what's in the damned basement sucks.
(I haven't kept up either; waiting to marathon more comics; ignore this if it's been answered)
Armin
more can be seen here!
Edit: here's a quote as to why some characters won't look like their source material
Well then dye his hair! You had one job, Japanese Hollywood!

This is the problem with Anime to live action film adaptation, they make these characters blonde and blue eyes or western looking in the anime they give them western names like Akkermann etc and then it is difficult to reconcile the contrast when I see the actors assigned to the roles.
It'll probably be better than this, more budget, better special effects and actors that resemble their Anime counter part.

Still waiting to see what a western AoT would look like.

Is it weird I'd kinda look forward to that a bit more?
Give it some grim-depressing directing ace too. I hate the sort-of action-y shounen anime tone of the TV series (compared to the manga).
They have rocket launchers in Attack on Titan?
They used bows in attack on Titan?
They have lens flare on Attack on Titan?
Seriously, this lens flare is giving me Casshern feels

For those who keep doing drive-by posts saying "It's probably gonna be terrible CGI!". Please stop. I mean, it was already posted by based on the commercial the SFX involved in the film did, that won't be the case in the least bit.
Before CG, we had costumes and practical effects. Japan excels at this (in most cases).

There are plenty of legit reasons to start the 15 page bitching fest, so let's use those and not made up ones.

Honestly, it'll probably be more accurate casting wise. But they'd make it PG-13 and fuck the whole thing up.

Aren't the characters supposed to be German? That's what I always assumed based on character names, the look of the architecture, and the German in the intro song.
