What the hell happened to the giant titan that broke the wall? Did he just lose interest?

You're venturing into spoiler territory there.

He left.

I really like the soundtrack in this anime, it's very subtle and powerful.

by TopgunUK Mon Apr 15, 2013 6:53 am

Yeah, it's good stuff.

And I doubt I'll be skipping the OP or ED any time soon.

by Wing Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:00 am

I'll be grabbing the OST as soon as it's out.

I need to look for more of those music videos using Guren no Yumiya. It goes with everything, apparently.

I'm gonna catch up on the Mango now, but I'll probably need to skim over the stuff I already covered 'cause it's been almost a year since I read it and I'm a little hazy.

by Wing Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:15 am

Chapter 44 just came out, so I'm five chapters behind. Probably gonna read them this week, if not tonight. I stopped reading it when it was being hinted at getting an anime in the near future.

by TopgunUK Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:21 am

I think I just reached the latest chapter available at the time I read it and waited until now, not necessarily for the Anime but for a decent number of chapters to build up.

Basically though /a/ threads have already spoiled stuff for me from the newer chapters so I might as well read them now so I'm on the same page.

All irrelevant anyway since mi casa es su casa is true best girl.

There was a preview? Well shit I should really stop skipping EDs .

Also, Mikasa is only 3rd best after Sasha and Annie. You know it to be true.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree.

Why doesnt that giant titan just toss the other giant's over the wall.... Or put them ontop of the wall so they can walk all the way to wall maria, and get in that way.. They wont die from such a big fall because they only die to that precision cut in the neck.. So even if they smash some limbs upon landing, they'l just regenerate like they do in the manga..

I'l keep watching the series. But they're seriously messing up gore wise... We'll see how it all goes when erren has his first real battle, but if they censor/avoid showing all that then i'm just gonna stick with the manga and forget about all this.. Its not that i rely on the gore for this series. But Taking out the gore in this series is like taking out the fanservice in To love-ru.. its supposed to kind of show how terrifying the titans really are

by Wing Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:00 pm

Because that would be fucking stupid. If you watched the first two episodes, you would have seen that they simply destroyed both of the gates. Why would they sit there for days, throwing one another over the walls, when they can just walk in as they please? They get through Wall Maria in an efficient manner. What you brought up, is needless complication.

They're not "messing up" with the gore. There's some censorship, and there's sure to be more down the line. But that goes hand-in-hand with a public television broadcast. As I stated before, you can just wait for the blu-ray's. The Titans are plenty terrifying without seeing them chew on a corpse like a stick of gum. Good presentation isn't about shock-value. If the only thing you're interested in is human mutilation, I can only wonder about your other choices of entertainment.

Go ahead and forget this exists, I guess.

by TopgunUK Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:10 pm

The competent art of the Anime alone makes up for the lack of explicit gore, to say nothing of the animation, sound and colour.

Mind you, it was always the shots of the teeth closing around someone as they struggle desperately that were more unpleasant than the grisly aftermath to me, that kind of stuff might make it in to the TV broadcast.

Bloody hell one gets distracted by a little hiccup on KS and the faction gets active :)

Oh well no point arguing about the anime I guess, I think it's just another enjoyable shounen with steampunk ninjas other think it's more. Well each to it's own.

But there is one thing and that goes to Noble:
Dead Space 3 is an enjoyable action game. I really liked DS1 which quite frankly is a survival horror game and the only I personally played. I am not a big fan of shooters in general so I leave the sequels to other people I know.
A lot of them like action and those who played DS3 really liked it. According to them it's a really good action game which they can play in co-op with a great atmosphere and no one said quite frankly that it would be survival horror beforehand, it was basically said it will be an action-based shooter due to popular demand. And apparently if you like those kind of games, it is really good.

Except it's not.

Also, you're in the wrong thread for this. Drop it, or move the conversation.

I've had this conversation one too many times. You're wrong.

What are you going to do about it, Wing?

Skim over roughly translates as read entire thing again from the beginning, apparently.

I've caught up with where I was though. Onwards to the new stuff.
