All they do in P3 is pop a christmas cracker by their head. They don't actually shoot themselves, which would be way too edgy and brooding.
Also it would result in their deaths.

Hahhahahaha. Hey Branduil, remember when you were wondering how they would make the OAD which is coming out with Vol11 of the manga considering all the production issues with the TV series? The answer is, they're NOT! The OAD version of Vol11 has been cancelled, and they're now tentatively planning to release the OAD with Vol12 instead. Loooooooooooool.

Okay, looks like Vol12 is due in December. That makes sense, since the TV series will be over by then. Sounds like Wit Studio's nightmare isn't going to end anytime soon.

Just shot through episodes 1 through 7 this morning.
Holy fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I've no idea what I'm going to do with myself now. I need something to tide me over.
Not gonna read the manga and no way am I going near wikipedia.
The videogame is probably going to suck eggs if/when it happens. Watch it be for the PS Vita and be an SRPG or some bullshit.

The Linkin Park part is a joke. It originally said Godzilla + Spiderman + Band of Brothers.
The show doesn't have any basset hounds, though.

The Linkin Park part is just Evilore being mean.
I think you'd probably at least partially like it.
I'm liking it so far. Don't actually get the Godzilla + LP thing, though.
Very much in the vein of Spider-Man/Arkham City (the game), in a good way, though.
I'm back!
Can't wait to see more of this curious guy. (I don't read Manga but I hear people love this guy)
Why haven't you read the Manga? Too busy taking a shit?
That guy is pretty awesome
Yea, quite a bit of that going on in Attack on Titan and yet there are those who tell me the animation is awesome.
I think the main problem is that there are a limited number of really talented animators on board, and they can only work on so much at a time. The show is so rushed for deadlines that they don't have the luxury of just waiting for the better animators to animate as much as possible, because they need the episodes done before the broadcast deadline. They reserve the absolute most important scenes for those animators in advance, and everything else is farmed out to anyone they can afford to pay from anywhere. Quality is sure to suffer even if they have unlimited funds.

Well they probably mean the art direction and the overall look of it and that is one thing the show has in spades, style.

It is, in parts. Then there's the rest of the show. It's hard to care about it much, you have to be not paying attention to the story to notice it most of the time.
Saturdays, on Crunchyroll there might be delays now and then.
Ok, thanks
BTW, to those people who say that the anime is not animated really well: what are good examples of constantly good animated animes? I mean you must have some hiiiiigh standards
Well, it's more like, sometimes, it's not animated. At all.
Not really.
(and anything by Kyôto Animation, for example, I guess)

I think there are clearly moments where Attack on titan could be animated better. Though I do watch Naruto Shippuden and the other weekly shonen action series...so perhaps my gauge of well animated is off-kilter.

The series has its moments of great animation, but as Duckroll said, it's not consistent because they have to farm out so much of the show and the best animators only have time to work on a few scenes.
There are a lot more consistently animated shows than this one, though the best ones would be things like Cowboy Bebop, Dennou Coil, or Hyouka.

The moments of jaw-dropping fantastic animation make up for the rest, IMO.
That Episode 5 speedrun, my god.
Just saw Episode 8.
Well... then. I suspected it based on

Yeah, this is my point. Game of Thrones builds up a bunch of characters simultaneously. Killing off Eren permanently is not the same as killing Stark.
If I actually liked any of the characters besides Eren, that would be great. I simply don't. Why does Eren's death need to motivate Mikasa? She's also better than he is. He spends his whole life trying to keep up with her and then gets eaten? That makes no narrative sense.
His death breaks her, not the opposite. His death would serve no purpose than to deconstruct Mikasa, weakening her. So we lose one protag, and weaken another? That's regressive storytelling.
They spend 5 eps showing that Eren's got the guts, but Mikasa's got he talent to back it up, and spends more time protecting him than the other way around.
Killing Eren permanently would be the equivalent of killing Simon to motivate Kamina.

Attack on Titan jackets now up for pre-order.
If they come out with a longer version, I might be tempted. But never courageous enough to wear in public. lol.
Edit: oh wait, nevermind. They do.

Alright, Commie and GG just released their subs, along with Crunchyroll.
There are more characters than just Mikasa. Simon was a totally different character before Kamina died, so too could the other characters be changed by Eren's death. And while Mikasa may have initially been hurt by Eren's death there's no reason why she couldn't get over it and be in the same shape she was before or even better as a result. Eren was the outspoken leader, while Mikasa was the quiet but deadly type. She already demonstrated she can be a leader when she thought he was dead. No reason why that couldn't have been the direction they took her character in.
