Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) |OT| MMA Ultra(spider)man (NO MANGA SPOILERS)

if i recall right it's funimaiton that has the rights... so the series will be released likely in two dvd/blu ray combo parts that will cost $70 per part (though that will be misleading as sites like right stuff and amazon will have them for 40% off before they even release, so it will be more like $40 per part as the come out) (for example Michiko & Hatchin: is 41 on right stuff, and 30 on amazon for a preorder despite retail price being 70)
after the second part has been out for a year or two they will release a compelte series release for the price of one part so 40-60 or so.
a year or two after that will likely be a classics release for like $30.
There will be nine volumes in total; I guess they only have six listed on the site at the moment since those are the only ones they've announced the bonuses for so far.

A true tragedy for the best character in the series.
Why did they add blushing/red lines, I don't remember her blushing in the manga at all.

Just got into this... wish I had found out about it in two weeks rather than a few days ago. OUT OF EPISODES!
I wonder... how soon were we supposed to realize (EP 23)it was Annie? When the scene opens on her, I think that's the immediate thought in viewers' heads. Could we have guessed it sooner?
I'm sure this is in the thread somewhere already but...
edited with spoiler tags, sorry!
WTF Mikasa sticks her dick in his mouth?

Evangelion!
Although beside the similar premise, it has about as much in common with Titan as the Free! swimming anime does.
It's a bit older now but if you haven't seen The Second Renaissance episodes of the Animatrix... that's what came to mind at first, at least.

The current arc of Hunter x Hunter kind of qualifies, but it's probably not what you're looking for.
Muv-luv Alternative may also count, but I didn't watch past the first three episodes since those are apparently the most similar to AoT.
Madoka Magica and Bokurano might count, but they're more about despair than actually fighting back effectively.
I personally think Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is likely the closest modern one you will find. It's not quite to the brink (though attack on titan isn't quite to the brink either to me. just replace walls with underground tunnels and the starting set up is very close... humans living in a small space due to an outside threat) the big difference is the monster attacking man kind is actually intelligent (and not everyone knows they exist), and the show focuses on over the top action instead of the tense situations (aka the overall feeling of the show is very different, but the theme of mankind fighting back to reclaim the land is there).
Gotta survive somehow.

Hey random question, but anybody else a fan of Connie?
I don't know, why, but I decided to root for this dude really early on.
Have no idea why.
I pretty much appreciate the whole cast though.

Connie is literally the most worthless character in the "main" cast

I am not even argueing it, lol. I think, it's like the same reason I like Usopp from OnePiece. It's, like if he does something awesome, it'll be so unexpected, the awesome will be multiplied by 10.

Was up all night watching this show on my phone. Goddamn, what a series, and I'm only up to Episode 12. Such a feeling of despair and hopelessness up until now. Even when they succeeded there was pervasive that feeling of futility, that they were only evading death for a mere moment longer. I was rooting for anyone and everyone, just to see someone succeed or come out alive (even Jean when he was being a dick early on). Needless to say, the first few episodes were tough. 
I hated them for making me learn people's names just for them to die immediately (R.I.P. Thomas, I never knew ye).
But yeah... it's amazing so far. Edit: And I forgot to mention, but holy shit this soundtrack is astounding. Every bit of music I've heard so far is so spot on, and just sounds excellent. I'm loving it!

I immediately thought of this when I saw that (unfortunately)I'm sure this is in the thread somewhere already but...

her nose looks cute at certain angles.
A big part of the reason flashbacks are being used in order to keep the audience from getting too far out in front of the characters. It keeps the author from having to make the characters repeatedly do stupid things in service of the plot.

Yeah, I was hoping[not expecting] they were even suspecting
her
But I wonder if the reason
it was obvious she was the titan was because there were clues, or just blond hair lol.

Why the long case?

How can you say this when Bertholdt exists? All he does is sweat.
But his last name is FUBAR! (And isn't even the worst name in the series!)

On that note, what's the red head's[not potato girl] name? I don't think she's had a word of dialogue since the training baracks.
I can only suspect all these characters are here to just be killed horribly in season 2 at this point.

her nose in the first millisecond of that gif was massive

Only redhead I can think of is Petra. Or is that more brownish-orange?

Someone posted a page or two back that the blushing/laughing was cut from the manga but the creator regretted it.

this is awesome... for the record lol

Not the potato girl.
Then you pretty much gotta stick to original stuff and not adaptations, and that cuts out A LOT of shows.
She had that small encounter at the beginning of the expedition
edit
h, not the potato girl

Hahaha, that's amazing.
Definitely the clues. Armin deduced that the reason the titans stopped at Trost was because something in their plan changed, namely that they found out Eren could become a titan. At the time of the stop, the only ones who knew were the ones on that rooftop when Eren first came out of the titan body. And they were Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Bertolt, Reiner, and Annie. So one of them was a titan spy. And of course, one of them happened to be a female with blond hair, who wasn't accounted for during the survey corps mission (because she was with the military police), which happened to be Annie.
But Eren is still a character...explain that!
Funimation is still targeting sometime in 2014, and the last Blu-ray volume in Japan gets released in March 2014. I'd guess anywhere in the October-December 2014 range for the first U.S. release at this point, though things can always change.

That's potato girl's name. I looked it up, her name's Ymir.
I got a major spoiler for my trouble, so I'd reccomend the rest of you not.

I still feel like,
if she was a brunette, I would have at least been a little unsure though. But they said, it's one of us, and the question inevitably becomes so who's the one blond chick on the entire show? lol.
Romars202129

Yeah, my mistake. I think when they introduced her, it was at night and torch glow had a red effect on her hair... or it was a just brainfart, lol.

Reminds me of a friend who went to look up the name of the wife on Dexter before the end of the fourth season, and google autocompleted his search to "Dexter's wife --
dies/why did she die/killed by Trinity
He didn't even make it to the actual search results!
