    ATTACK ON TITAN

    Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.

    Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air...

    I haven't watched the newest one yet but I loooove this show. ;o; It definitely slowed down after the first episode but I'm really looking forward to watching the people finally meet up with the Titans again!
     
    I've really been enjoying SnK. I read the manga a couple of months ago and it is certainly full of twists/ lots of gory fun.

    The animation style really separates it from most of the same-y looking shows recently and the high-action scenes with the 3D maneuver gear have been spectacular so far. From what I've seen its not as graphic in terms of the heavy gore but I guess that only to be expected. I really do like the fact that they've pushed up the training arc to the beginning from what was initially a flashback in chapter 14/15 iirc. It will really help to cement characters like Sasha, Annie, Bert and Reiner for people who are new to the series whereas in the manga they're just sort of... there from chapter 3 onwards.

    Overall, I definitely think it is one of the picks of the season and I'm really looking forward to more.

    I'm watching it but I somehow cannot get myself into it totally...
    I'll probably read manga but with all other awesome anime in this season, this one is just... there.
     
    Yeeeeees! :D I love this show! The animation is superb, music is epic and that opening...pure awesome. :D
    The first episode was a great introduction to the series. :D I might check the manga some time but for now Ill just concentrate on the anime.
    I have only one problem with the anime...its so hard to avoid spoilers. :'D
     
    OMG, WHY DIDN'T I SAW THIS BEFORE?????

    SNK is the by far the best anime in this season and I think it will surpass SAO. Really enjoying it and I even finished the manga in a day LOL. This was the first I was like this the excitement was just awesome! :)

    Too Bad the next episode will be a letdown to some fans. :/
     
    This show... is intense. I've never watched a show that literally gave me goosebumps all over my arms and made me teary eyed within 15 seconds. I really like Eren's determination; I can see some similarities to SAO, too.

    Episode 5
    Spoiler:

    That show IS AWESOME. And omg, did you know that show surpassed SAO with only 5 episodes? (Anime) https://www.animeseason.com/anime-list/ratings/

    Im impressed. And just like you Blade. Never. EVER. Saw an anime. That gave me goosebumps like this one,

    Idk, maybe If I haven't read the manga I'll have goosebumps with the new episodes. Now I remember having a lot of those will reading the manga especially when they got trapped in Castle Utgard. :3
     
    Yeah but you read the manga, i dont, i watch the anime XD.

    Hope nothing else scary happens, it was sad that the titan had to yank Erens mom's head and then eat her :x

    Scary? Watch episode 5 since the eng sub is out! :3 There's some things that have been added in the anime that's no in the manga. Like the confrontation of Commander Pixis and this fat lord guy. xD

    It's really hard making those kind of spoilers LOL. xD

    Oh wow, I didn't know there was a thread about this.
    After watching it for the first time yesterday I got really hooked to it.
    The intensity is indescribable, I can barely contain it.
    And the gore, of course I wouldn't forget the gore.
    And I'm really looking forward to more gore to new episodes
     
    Spoiler:
    Most people knew that ;)
    Still... what happens after that makes this pretty big mainstream :/

    and that opening...pure awesome. :D
    I agree with this! :D It goes with anything xD xD

    Most, though if you don't know it yyou will think this anime/manga is the best one in the world. Like what happened to me LOL.

    And yes the opening is great! I downloaded the Opening Music. :3
     
    Is this a shounen? Seinen? Is the gore level comparable to one in bersker? Because stuff I've seen in the bersek manga has yet to be surpassed by any manga in terms of shock value. That manga, although more than 20 years old, made me read it for 6-7 hours per day for 3 days.

    Is the story in this good? Or does it merely rely on gore and shock value to get attention? How long is the manga? Is it complete?

    Sorry about all the questions. This anime intrigues me. Hope it doesn't turn out like SAO - all hype no substance. It was a decent anime. The SnK OP was awesome, though.
     
    Hmm just watched ep 5. Im still trying to understand what I saw...also I try to decide should I laugh or not.. :D

    You shall laugh out loud until the next epissode. :3

    It's Shounen, I don't know maybe the gore is greater since I haven't read Berserk that much. The story is really awesome and it doesn't rely on gore and shock value that much, it has it's own ways. :3

    Up to now the manga is 44 Chapters and the manga is not complete I do not think it will be completed anytime soon until Eren reaches the basement.

    NO, IT WILL NOT TURN LIKE SAO. THIS ANIME IS AS AWESOME AS ME. C:

    Yes, the OP is awesome I downloaded the track after hearing it the first time LOL.
