The monthly manga started in September 2009, the anime started in April 2013

When the series started they were up to around chapter 43 or 44, the first season anime covered 34 chapters in 25 episodes. So to get a similar type of pacing for a second season they needed another 24 chapters to work with aka 2 years of manga. Chapter 68 came out April of 2015 and very clearly heading towards the climax of an arc that feels like anime season 2 stopping point. That's why we're not seeing the next season until next year, they only just got enough content to adapt another 25 episodes.

For those wondering why it's been so long for season 2 of attack on titan
 
Regarding Attack on Titan.

The creator said back in 2014 that he planed to end the story in 3 years.

Whether or not that'll be true is anyone's guess. It's really popular now.

For people who still read the manga, what are the chances that the titans can have an scientific explanation? Or is it more likely just "magic"?
 
Good to see that the reaction to SAO was about as awful as I was expecting. Incomprehensible ending. It's physically painful to process mentally, even by SAO standards. Also, general consensus that the funeral got weird when eeeeeeeveryone showed up. I was hoping it would just be Asuna.

Kirito didn't lose, you silly gooses! He was going in for the final attack when time ran out! He was a fraction of a second away from the win! Plus he wasn't using Excalibur! He just -gave up- during his first meeting with her when she told him she was a medical patient. Kirito knew what that meant. He wasn't going to further beat up a dying girl.
 
This probably won't even be in the anime til season 3, unless they rush it.

Unless season 2 is an odd number of episodes, there's no chance.

Like people make fun of Attack on Titan for the story not advancing fast enough, but since the first season ended, a lot has happened.

This Eren/Mikasa moment would be touching if she didn't obsess over him in every other scene and if Eren wasnt a psychopath

if you really wanna know
....100%.....

Though the answer should be obvious from the anime alone
eren's dad injected him with something that gave him titan powers that much is pretty clear, if could obviously be magic science but someone clearly invented the ability for people to go titan
 
So here's something that's gonna be confusing about season 2.

The face in the wall at the end of this episode?

They see it in the manga, and are justifiably freaked the hell out. Here in the anime, it's kind of just left as tease.

They both are messed up in the head.

The wall is made of Titans! BWONG!

They can easily retcon that, just start s2 with some "man that fight with annie was crazy, but what was more crazy was what we saw afterwards" *cue flashback*
 
So Parasyte ...

Am I correct in thinking that main difference with the protag compared to the others is that his thing didn't take over his body and talks to him?
