What does this mean?
It's pretty good, one of the more special animes of the last few years
How some episodes are just entire boring flashbacks sometimes sucks ass tho
It goes from giants eating people on ziplines, to political drama, to people on ziplines vs bio-mechas, to jews on ziplines with bio mechas vs the world
How is the dub? Serious question. I'm a dubfag usually so I need to know
OP here. That sounds fantastic. Sold. Now I'm abandoning thread
Depending on what you prefer it will either be 3>2>1 or 1>2>3 for you.
It's good, but watch it yourself to make a decision, has a kino betrayal in it too.
Season 2 slog, s3 fucking great. Good shit coming in final season
Good.
Dub > sub
How about you fucking watch it then form your own opinion? I mean what the fuck's preventing you from watching? And why the fuck are you interested in my opinion?
Here's a simple rule, don't ask /a for an opinion.
If they say an anime is good, then it's shit.
If they say it's shit, then it's amazing.
Make up your own mind.
you're not making sense user, if we can in fact determine the quality of an anime based on Yea Forums's response as you say ("good" -> shit; "shit" -> amazing) then that means we SHOULD ask Yea Forums for their opinion on shows and watch the ones they say are shit.
I mean they probably yell a lot like in every dub.
Eren probably yells the whole time.
It's anime for beginner
This statement literally makes no sense
I want off this ride Mr. Kruger
Yes, shows about little girls eating cake and drinking coffee, now THAT is for true connoisseurs.
Intricate stories and stunning visuals is for plebs.
decent dub, considered garbage compared to the sub
go back to the reddit tab
Is eren a bad guy now?
Is fighting for your people in the face of annihilation bad?
If you do it like that, then yeah
Like how?
Killing innocents.
Also, Eldians are Jews.
Paradis Island is Israel.
>Killing innocents
What do you think wars are this beautiful thing where soldiers kill each other and nothing bad ever happens to "innocents"?
It's good, like any high profile show's dub. Still prefer sub but it's not like there are many examples where that's not the case for me.
Animation is above average by anime standards.
Lol more like Eldians are Japanese and Paradis Island is Japan. Marley are China/Korea.
>dub
Watch season 1- skip seaason 2 since everybody knows Reinhard was the armored titan- watch season 3. Literally thats simple, season 2 was just awful the rest is watchable
Watching subbed is for retarded weebs who need to feel like they're somehow cultured by watching children's cartoons in a different language.
I never have and never will take anyone who says subs are better seriously.
no go away
Subs have better voice direction.
How would you know? It's all just gibberish. Unless you actually speak Japanese.
Not being able to understand emotions through cadence has to be a sign of autism, isn't it?
There is no other explanation.
it means you are a faggot
S1 and 2 are pretty good
S3 is incredible
The state of Yea Forums
S1 and S2 are fantastic. S3 starts weak but eventually regains the energy. Eren is one of the Best mcs this decade
Should I watch or read?
Paradis is Madagascar if plan Madagascar was a success
Low IQ mongrels took over.
Dub watchers are clearly American.
Is this bait?
It's quite clear that Eldians are the oppressed ones fighting for freedom, so they are European.
It's the Marleyans that are Jews.
The dub isn't bad, but the subbed version is more nuanced, since I think Isayama himself was consulting the voice actors.
It's fun, clever and gets super redpilled in the next arc.
Eren is a hero we've been waiting for.
Dub isn't bad since it's a pseudo-western setting anyway, but the sub is much better.
Much of the love for the show comes from the japanese acting and certain repeated or iconic phrases that have become infamous. You lose all that with the dub.
english dubs are always cringeworthy with soi boys who sound like their balls haven't dropped
Paradis Island is Taiwan.
Yeah.

Just because you need people high pitch screeching in gibberish to understand their emotion doesn't mean it's good.
Actually, it's retarded anyway. People don't sound like that in real life in the first place
Lmao compared to the squeaky toy voices of japs? Even more hilarious when they try to deep voices
>emotional screams
>high pitch screeching
What the fuck are you talking about.
No one is talking about screaming, you don't even know what cadence means do you?

Avoid SNK
Because it is made by failed actors that think anime is for children only.
It is frustrating to see this posted. not every damn genocide is Jewish. Eldian history shares nothing with Jewish history. Nearly every race on Earth has faced some kind of genocide and colonization at some point. Muh Jewish narrative fags fuck off.
Isn't he 15?
When they're trying to sound mad, excited, hurt etc they just sound like wailing retards. In normal dialogue they sound the same tonally except speaking complete nonsense that you have to read. Subs are no better than dubbed you weeb
>In normal dialogue they sound the same tonally
I am getting more and more convinced it is autism.
There is not such a thing as''good" or "bad' in this manga
>a kid sounds like an angry kid
Wow amazing. Now tell us about how the superior nipon voice art forded over a mirrion times sounds so much better than the baka gaijins desu
I'm def convinced you're a weeb lmao.
>Muh emotion muh cadence
Based. I'm glad we're getting a pragmatic protagonist willing to walk the hard road for freedom. People who hate Eren wouldn't have what it takes if it came down to needing to fight against an overwhelming oppressing force.
seriously, compare the sub vs dub versions of Reiner and bertholt's transformation reveal, english is just fucking cringe, you can here the estrogen dripping off their cuck voices
>estrogen dripping off their cuck voices
Doesn't this describe Bert and Reiner perfectly tho.
>>Muh emotion muh cadence
Impressive argumentation user.
Keep acting like this, I am sure being a retard does wonders for your life.
The emotions are conveyed perfectly, they don't sound forced or directed to children, they sound like actual actors doing a role.
You can compare any western cartoon for children like ben 10 or trash like that and it sounds exactly the same.
What you cannot do is compare a dub to an actual actor doing VA work for western movies since the difference is immense, which is the equivalent of comparing dubs to subs.
Dubs are made by failed actors, that isn't even a question, they don't do the job because they love it but because they got stuck in it, they don't try to convey emotion, they sound actually worse than your average fucking 90s commercial.

I have literally no problem with dub, just i can realize when a dub is done well or not.
For example, SnK italian dub (like many others anime translated in italian) outside some moment is pretty good, while the english dub in SnK is kinda cringe and wrong translated sometimes.
The only thing you are slightly right about are the asspulls and they are not near the level of convenience of most shit in average anime. The rest is done correctly. Bet you are a yuasafag or a moe fapper. go eat shit.
I fucking loved how at the start it was basically like a zombie apocalypse anime, but with titans/giants instead of zombies. But then it turned into fucking Dragon Ball Near the end of the season with people turning into titans, and it kinda pissed me off and made me skip season 2 & 3, is it worth going back to it? Or is the rest also powerlevel shonen wankery
That Reiner can transfer his consciousness to his spine two times, even with the second time that his brain been blown up just to survive are just the most stupidest convenient asspull in anime history I have ever seen.
I don't know, I can't even stand dubs of my language for american movies.
People are titans, retard
>But then it turned into fucking Dragon Ball
Imagine having this retarded of an opinion.
Yea but it was cool when they were those mindless fucking death incarnate monsters terrorizing a city but then voila i bit my fucking finger and turn into one and start doing fucking karate on them because thats what kids like amrite, fuck off.
Imagine having an IQ this low.
Also another shifter gets revealed with no backstory and just serves as a power up for Eren, and they give the dumbest one liner
>1 of them survived a 50 meter fall and having his skin burned off
He landed on a roof, so it wasn't 50 meters. Also he was definitely going to die, just not instantly.
This is the level of dialogue in SNK. It's straight up chuuni shit
>I WAN MUH DIDAN FIGHTING but I dropped it because it started to feel like a fighting shonen
????
Also it turns into a character driven political war drama. Its far from being an action shonen. But seeing how retarded you are, you would probably get pleb filtered in season three because NO DIDANS BORING, yes, the entire season barely has action (they actually added a bit in the anime to make it more normalfag friendly).
That is the entire point of them bonding you stupid faggot, they are both chuuni, it's even a running joke.
Prove me wrong then, because from what i remember from season 1 pic related protagonist is literally your typical anime main guy who has Super Sayi, ops i meant Kyuu, oops i meant the titan powers and kicks ass so the kids can cheer on
Cherrypicking.
You are fucking retarded. What I meant entire race of the people who live in the walls are the titan race. Literally everyone can turn into titans, they are the titans. There are only 8 non retarded titans though.
It's embarrassing. SNKfags this, Eren killing innocents in Libero, and him wanting to destroy the world makes him cool now
You dont fucking get me you fucking idiot I HATE THAT THEY CAN TURN INTO "GOOD" TITANS AND FIGHT THE BAD TITANS LIKE SOME POWER RANGER BULLFUCKINGSHIT
I just wanted the walking dead but with giant and that how AoT looked at the start instead of zombies do you get it now you braindead fucking sack of shit
Holy fuck. Based.
Speedreader. Ackermans and nobles with non-Eldian blood can't transform into titans
Season 2 has the best OP, best ED and Best Girl Sasha's episode.
>I HATE THAT THEY CAN TURN INTO "GOOD" TITANS AND FIGHT THE BAD TITANS
>watching the first season of a series and thinking it's shit because of your own retarded assumptions about the world and characters
Please respond.
Is the season 1 non canon or something because i am pretty sure what i saw a guy biting his finger and karate kicking titans now i apologize it has been awhile so maybe it didnt go like this but i am pretty sure the general idea of what happend is still right
K.
Tl;dr
Like I said earlier, I just don't take you seriously. Like a nattering 13 year old trying to tell me iphones are better than androids
You can count the times he has fought with your hand.
Literally just muh food loving comic relief girl. Last line is about wanting meat
The dub vs sub war must be the most ancient thing in the anime community.
okay retard
I just now realized Zeke is fully naked, not just shirtless. Based Isayama
>Good and bad
Fucking retard. The main character currently wants to destroy his entire world to protect a bunch of his friends and because he is a massive waifufag and doesn't want to sacrifice his waifu. She is royal her he could also activate the rumbling which is the equivalent of a massive attomic bomb to destroy the world like he wants. But instead he decides to use his brother which is the only other person that can activate it, going rogue from the survey corps, causing a civil war and taking tons of innocent lives. He objectively is scum. You are fucking retarded if you think this is a good guyz vs bad guyz show
That's an edit
No, he's a hero.
based retard
You aren't helping in him hating it cause its not a survival show with this world ender bullshit not
>he became the very thing he swore to destroy....
Ok weeb
Based smelly weeb
The point is that that isn't actually the dynamic of the series at all.
The colossal titan and the armored titan appear in the first motherfucking chapter you piece of trash.
You retard i am speaking from season 1 thats why i am asking if its worth watching the rest grow a brain you fucking potato
She is a royal and with her*
Also his brother is a unironically mentally ill person from the "BAD GUYS" that literally killed 90% of the survey corps
Better, he doesn't deserve to read it and he would probably drop it in season 3 or even in season 2 because "too many flashbacks"
The sequel series about humanity trying to survive against the millions of colossal titans will be exactly that though.
Yea Forums being tsundere for SnK brings a smile to my face.
Based, GODner el HELOS BLANCO braum will kill SHITren
It's part of shifters powers since the core of their power is the spinal fluid , to kill a shifter outside from eating him you must: "weakened it so much that it isn't able to regenerate anymore" or " destroy both the brain and the spine".
Is their superpowers, like in DBZ where aliens can throw laser/energy beams from their hands.....or even it is considered an asspull?
It's not a giant zombie apocalypse and it's also not about transforming heroes doing martial arts on mooks.
Why is there going to be a million colossus titans?
Thank you, fuck.
>double digiter think a worldwide popular series published in a magazine aimed at young boys will have Eren wanting to massacre the world
Stop falling for the misdirection. There's a reason Isayama hasn't shown Eren and Historia's POV and inner dialogue yet
Dammit
Its a war/political drama character driven show. Everything you though it would be is completely wrong except a few asspulls in the big fight of season three part 2, mainly koff
This shit roams Yea Forums, explain Yea Forums
You explained yourself a little like ass, to be honest.
Don't be a fucking idiot.This is clearly bait but I'll bite. Titans are the result of human experimentation. The origin of which is unknown, and has been recently revealed to have some Semitic influence involved. What aspect of that is present in Dragon Ball?
It´s an entry level anime or tourist anime. Something even that friend that doesn´t usually enjoy animation can kinda get into. I don´t think it´s particularly good though. It´s decent for what it is.
No, one of the big antagonists is a bootleg JRPG villain who wants to sterilize his race
Not that guy but guys turning into titans and kicking asses is kinda powerlevel wankery
Lmao I bet you watch subs
>some Semitic influence involved
Wat
Did you read another manga? Because I'm sure not this one.
Then how do you explain technology developed to fight these Titans?
>guys turning into titans and kicking asses is kinda powerlevel
You just throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks don't you? Try forming an argument without using buzzwords you literal fucking retard.
Dub performances are great, but the script isn't. They take way too many liberties with the translation, to the point many lines that reiterate throughout the series in the japanese script are written differently each time in the english one.To be fair, some of the translations actually come out better in english than japanese in my opinion, but I'd still prefer they stick to the original. At its worst, characters are saying things totally differently. Example: English Reiner, instead of saying "wait", he says "I don't wanna die!".
Feel free to watch the dub, but just know you're not getting the "essence" of the writing.
Not really in the formulaic powerlevel that we are used to, but more plot related and not battleshonen type.
Eren.
The point is, it's not about good/bad.
Once the world opens up in the storytelling it becomes a matter of perspective, or what people want to believe.
And they turned the Armored titan into a jobber by having lose off-panel to the Beast titan.
What do you think is happening in the final chapter audio then?
also, I have 112 IQ so fuck off
>Wat
>Did you read another manga? Because I'm sure not this one.
You're just not reading closely enough. Marley is using brainwashing Holocaust tactics against the Eldians. Eldia's fight for freedom triggers them so much that they wrote an article about it. Pic very related.
The only titan that hasn't jobbed is the cart, and it's only power is to walk on four limbs and be weaker than the rest.
What is he doing to do
Rumble the world with the tens of millions of titans inside the walls
>basically like a zombie apocalypse anime, but with titans/giants instead of zombies.
Lowest common denominator.
Get filtered, pleb.
Speedthinker
Genocide humanity.
Oh you were baiting.
I thought you were pointing out the semitic origin of titans related to the original deal of the devil with Ymir.
My bad.
Destroy the world with them
thank you, for confirming that you are baiting
Aren't all the shifters supposed to have unique abilities? I know there's colossus and armored but other than that it seems like 3 of them control other titans and the other few do nothing special
Not clearly stated, some just have special skills, some have morphological differences, etc.
The titans as we know them are being created by Marley with some serum. It wasn't bait.
Why is the coordinate titan so important when the beast titan can control titans ?
At least DBZ doesn't hide its asspull and blatantly killed Goku and reincarnate him so many times as the story needs him. This transfer of consciousness shit is just an asspull to not kill Reiner somehow no matter what.
>SPEEDLEADER REPORTING IN
>ENGAGING JUMP TO HYPERSPACE
There is literal japan in the story, but that doesn't mean much it's just standard manga-weeb boner to put japanese stuff in your setting.
It is a very clear allegory for israel, don't be retarded.
The tiny walled safe haven for the previously persecuted, surrounded by droves of countries that all want them dead. If they lay down their weapons, they will be eradicated, there is no way to achieve a peaceful solution.
They are a relatively young country, but their military is relatively advanced due to outside help.
Rumbling is nukes.
If anyone thinks this somehow sounds like Europe, they are retarded.
The symbolism is so on the over sized nose and heavy handed, it's almost ridiculous.
It's okay to be a /pol/fag once in a while and still appreciate media for what it is.
You don't have to close your ears and go "lalala" whenever someone dares to make an allegory for israel and the jewish people the "good guys".
Jaw has the strongest bones but only on claw and jaws
Female can call pure titans, not control them
Founder has everything but requires experience
Cart has the most endurance as in it can last for months as a titan
Warhammer can create things out the substance hardening is made off.
Beast arguably has traits from a distinct beast or at least that's a theory, he cannot control titans, that comes from Zekes royal blood.
AT we don't really know but it could be regen, it also strives for freedom.
Attack and Female seem to be general-purpose titans with high endurance and mobility(with the exception of having low stamina cost and being able to scream to attrack titans, respectively).
Beast Titan most likely literally transforms you into an animal(Zeke's titan seems to be unique as far as BT holder goes).
Jaw can destroy pretty much anything with his jaw and claws.
FT is a god amongst titans, that can manipulate PATHS at will.
WHT can use it's form remotely and burrow itself underground(unconfirmed), and form complex shapes and weapons.
Cart titan can stay active for a very long time, and is pretty fast and nimble.
Armored and Collosal are pretty well explained already.

You are retarded.
Please show me where europeans were ever persecuted and put into a tiny ass country where every surrounding country wants them dead.
And yes, the armbands are so blatant, you have to put literal effort into ignoring it.
Are you literally so retarded that you can't understand media without self inserting or inserting your juvenile internet politics?
Israel is literally defended by the largest military on the planet you pea brain.
That whole thing was melodrama too. He should have been open about the whole things with a small group and done experiments to find out maybe just drinking her blood would give same results,etc. now her ex bully made the royal prego.
It's not the Beast Titan that allows control over the pure titans, but Zeke's royal blood.
Also, his orders aren't absolute.
Founding Titan's orders potentially transcend time and space.
Collateral damage is one thing, but Eren deliberately kills civilians and even children.
Even Mikasa calls that "irredeemable".
You have to try real hard with the sociopathy to somehow make Eren out to be the good guy at this point.
>now her ex bully made the royal prego.
retard
>comes from zekes royal blood
Does that mean historia can control them too? Or would she have to be a shifter first?
>deliberately kills civilians and even children
What? Tell of another position he could have possibly used for his surprise attack, you retarded faggot.
It was literally perfect.
>He should have been open about the whole things with a small group and done experiments to find out maybe just drinking her blood would give same results,etc.
???
where are you right now
Not everything is always 1:1 retard.
Learn to interpret symbolism and don't just take everything at face value like a retard.
This is not even particularly vague or clever, it is all very obvious.
And that relates to a "semitic" origin in what form?
Royal blood brings out the true power from the 9 titans, yes.
>Please show me where europeans were ever persecuted and put into a tiny ass country where every surrounding country wants them dead
you realize the point of fiction is to explore ideas you retarded nigger?
since when did Jews have a monopoly on being oppressed? The whole point is the cycle of revenge and how Marley became just as bad as the Eldians when they gained power. everything about the plot points to Eldians being oppressed Europeans, the armbands are simply used because they are a powerful image of oppression
only brainwashed retards like you can't seem to disconnect armbands from jews
>MUH real world symbolism
He took some inspiration on ww2, but there's no deep political anything.
Based Erenbro. While the rest of the world's population was dropping like flies from the plague 600 years ago, Subjects of Ymir were able to withstand thanks to having their bodies re-written. The FT's gene editing can wipe out suffering, disease, and crime; the FT's resource creation (Zeke said this is where Iceburst stone came from) can create abundant valuable resources, and mind wipes can be used to easily solve conflicts. The rest of the world must be cleansed to make way for this utopia
Based speed reader.
He deliberately chose that spot so he can pressure Reiner to... basically just to grand stand.
He could have done the attack from literally any other angle, he chose to do it from below a heavily populated building.
Not to mention that his entire attack was basically an act of terror.
>literally any other angle
From where? It was a basement directly behind the stage, which is right next to where the officials were.
Where the fuck would he start the attack if not there? The whole place was under tight security, he couldn't just stand next to where they were.
>literally any other angle
That isn't a position.
based retard, that's not how media works.
So how exactly did the attack have to take place from a basement? He could have literally just stood next to the stage.
He chose that spot to have leverage on Reiner.
To what end is not completely clear.
>Not to mention that his entire attack was basically an act of terror
He targeted the officials and Willy directly, he then waited for the WH to appear, not randomly attacking everyone around him.
Stop making up bullshit to justify your retarded views.
In your mom
>He could have literally just stood next to the stage.
>general magath there is this weird eldian hobbo right next to the stage and the officials what do we do
>just let him be whatever
Retard, there's no intentional allegory in this manga, only inspiration.
Not him, but why do you choose to whitewash what Eren has done?
What you are doing, is taking away from the impact that scene had on the story.
>whitewash
The only people whitewashing things is you fucking retards thinking war isn't even worse than this.
>feel guilty for your ancestors crimes goyim
>fight against the arabs for us in the mid-east war goyim
>you damn white devil
Marley is Israel, using Eldians/white people to fight their wars using white guilt and subverting history
So now you need to back pedal, you just said they are CLEARLY europeans (literally why), but now it's all unicorn fairytail fiction.
>the armbands are simply used because they are a powerful image of oppression
And why do you think that is, based retard.
Almost like during WW2 they became a symbol for oppression due to some happenings.
Your problem is that you can't look at things objectively, and immediately get offended and go full cognitive dissonance when someone "threatens" your retarded /pol/ "muh ebil joos" ideology.
I can only reiterate, the symbolism is so on the nose and heavy handed, you have to perform some real mental gymnastics to come to the conclusions you do.
You somehow think the author just made these choices without much thought and stuff should just be taken at face value.
That's not how writing works brainlet.
the whole point is to bring Reiner out of the crowd so he doesn't transform and gangbang eren with the other titans as soon as the fight starts you fucking brainlet
hence why he had falco go bring him into the basement, and had Pieck and Porco dropped into a pit, so he could get a 1v1 vs the war hammer
And you can say this with absolute certainty, because?
You are just too dumb to understand it, I reckon.
Even though it really isn't very hard to understand at all.
You are probably one of those guys that read books in school and whined about how "the author didn't mean anything by that", like the brainlet you were and still are.
Yes white people are such poor and oppressed.
They never did anything like that.
Jews are also whites btw.
He didn't intend to fight anyone, as expected of a piece of shit wojakposter.
The position was perfect for every single objective he had
>kill willy instantly and eat him assuming he was the WH
>kill all military officials
>incapacitate reiner
There is not a single other position where he could accomplish all of this in one go, kill yourself.
other than armbands, name a single way the eldians are similar to jews. I named at least 10 ways their history and culture is derived from europe
armband = oppression, not jewishness
>Almost like during WW2 they became a symbol for oppression due to some happenings
I wonder why that is, maybe the 100+ holocaust videos made by hollywood? Where's all the armenian genocide movies? OY VEY
>I can only reiterate, the symbolism is so on the nose
you're right about the noses, Marleyans noses are fucking huge in every panel they appear, almost like a certain group of people
Everyone who doesn't see this is retarded.
Especially you
user, if the curtains are blue, they are not trying to reflect the inner turmoil of the main character's soul. The curtains are just fucking blue.
And Isayama took inspiration on ww1 and ww2 events and symbols, but he is not trying to make any comentary about the real world
The position was to prevent armored titan and nothing else retard.
He did it with complete disregard to the innocents that would be killed, even mentioned them to Reiner so he wouldn't transform.
Eren has reached the point of being irredeemable.
You don't get to call yourself the good guy after doing shit like that.
>No he HAD to kill all the children there was no other way
Stop arguing a moot point.
Eren is not the hero anymore that is not up for debate.
>stand next to stage
>if security doesn't throw you out, reiner sitting in the crowd instantly recognizes you standing next to the stage
brilliant plan
They are confined in literal ghettos you brainlet.
>Noses are somehow more valid symbolism than armbands
You can't be this utterly delusional.
>Holocaust denier
Oh.
Yeah, let's just completely ignore the fact it was behind the stage, in the absolute perfect position.
I am sure that was a complete and utter coincidence and he didn't consider that at all.
I am done with your retardation.
Kill yourself, you can't even respond to the right posts.
>user, if the curtains are blue, they are not trying to reflect the inner turmoil of the main character's soul. The curtains are just fucking blue.
14 year olds understanding of literature.
We were pretty dumb back then when that meme came up, nice to see you still are.
>muh noses again
Both eldians and marleyans have big noses you fucking faggot
Are you seriously still arguing that Eren is a good guy, just because his position for genocide was mildly convenient?
Yeah, that totally makes up for the terrorism.
Annie's gonna freak when she finds out her father died in Eren's attack.
Try responding to the post next time instead of a strawman user, it will work out better for both of us.
Annie is gonna freak at the whole situation I would wager.
It's like watching till the end of season one and then just skipping everything and just reading the newest manga chapter.
I dropped during season 3 part 2.there are stupid choices and asspulls a plenty
So if you just ignore the debate that means I argue with a straw man?
Alright then.
Your position remains
>He had to kill the civilians, cause that was a strategically good position for a terrorist attack
>Therefore Eren was a good guy
Go ahead and call that a "straw man", but that's a summary of the "debate".
the anime sucks but the manga is easily 10/10
But the wiki says he's still alive
Eren hadn't killed innocents, though. After applauding multiple genocidal attacks by your government, you lose any and all claim to innocentce. Eren unironically would be doing nothing wrong by rumbling Marley off the face of the planet. You can only start arguing that he's going too far when and if he goes beyond that.
>Also, Eldians are Jews.
>Paradis Island is Israel.
Eldians are quite explicity the white race and the Paradis Island is Europe.
Stop being a pretentius shit.
Not everything has to be deep, and certainly this manga isn't.
>terrorist attack
Here user, this should come in handy
>a surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians
Terrorists are called "freedom fighters" for a reason by their sympathizers.
Have you forgiven Kenny yet, Yea Forums?
>They are confined in literal ghettos you brainlet.
so they could also be american-Japanese during WWII? Other than the fact everything about them implies they are European?
pic related is obviously a quintessential jewish phenotype and name
Also here in case you are too stupid to understand.
Do you see the words in this page? Do they sat "terrorism"? Because I can read the word "war" here, am I seeing it correctly?
Are acts of war and acts of terrorism the same thing? Is Eren attacking the military officials and Willy without destroying anything but the absolute minimum a terror act?
I guess it's up to interpretation isn't it?
Fucking bunch of piece of shit retards holy shit.
>Collateral damage is one thing, but Eren deliberately kills civilians and even children.
So?
Unless and until Eren gains power to demolish and occupy Marley in conventional warfare, not only he should do whatever it takes to win, and not only genociding them is wholly morally justified. You can argue that showing them exactly as much mercy as they were showing to inhabitants of Paradis, that is none, is a moral imperative. A nation that is willing to commit genocide for entirely hypocritical reasons must be repaid in kind, so that in the future people would thing twice before resorting to such methods of warfare. Take note that this idea is the whole reason why great powers stopped directly warring with each other for over 70 years. If you even for a second can conceive arguing to think about enemy's women and children after a massive ICBM launch was detected, you are the king of the cuck hill. Titans are just fantasy nukes.
>Even Mikasa calls that "irredeemable".
And?
>Eldians face opression therefore they're just like ME
If you deliberately kill civilians, DELIBERATELY, that makes you a terrorist.
Aint no two ways about it.
Based brainlet holy shit lmao
>genociding them is wholly morally justified
So this is not actually a discussion worth having then. Thanks.
I didn't know this board was full of edgy 14 year olds.
The purpose of the attack wasn't terroristic though.
Why not just come out and say outright you literally can't muster any sort of argument? It would be better than embarrassing yourself.
Well, I guess then we're lucky that our world is run by edgy 14 year olds.
>I didn't know this board was full of edgy 14 year olds.
Who the fuck do you think the target audience of attack on titan is
Except for the fact that likely no single person on this board has ever faced legitimate oppression.
More like
>These are the GOOD GUYS so they can't be what I don't like, they must be like ME!
This is Yea Forums though, so I don't know why I expected any worthwhile discussion beyond the scope of a child.
My mistake.
>If you deliberately kill civilians, DELIBERATELY, that makes you a terrorist.
No, it fact it isn't. Reprisals are a thing even in the modern international law.
He is a dead guy now
Just because that's the target audience doesn't mean it can't have any merit beyond that.
It does, in fact.
But the level of understanding the denizens of this board have of writing and story telling is downright laughable.
Most here must be in their mid 20s.
Embarrassing, really.
Show me one international law that sanctions the deliberate mass killing of civilians.
I will wait.
>deliberate mass killing of civilians
Can you show me where he deliberately and actively sought to kill civilians in mass that wasn't collateral damage? After killing the military did he actively sought to kill everyone around him?
Eldia = Palestine
Don't believe otherwise.
No need to wait.
en.wikipedia.org
He literally tells reiner "there are hundreds of civilians up above better not transform lol"
Then Reiner says "wat r u gonna do?"
"Same as you lol".
He wants to kill people as revenge for what Reiner did.
He is a fucked up psycho. Stop trying so hard to defend the villian of this story, it is childish.
And in any case I must remind again, that the only reason you aren't a radioactive smear is the fact that every major power in the world indicates its willingness to engage in deliberate mass killing of civilians, if pushed.
>Woah you don't have the same moral values or opinions as me? What an edgy child.
Anyone that actually believes in a statement like that is a self-righteous retard. Imagine being such a faggot that you think something outside your own views can only exist on the basis of being immature.
>There must be proportionality between the offence and reprisal.
This alone shatters every sort of argument that he wasn't justified.
>A reprisal is a limited and deliberate violation of international law
>violation
>international law
Do you always just post links without reading the first line?
Was Armin using the nuke a terror act too?
Every single attack Marley has ever done on Paradis gives grounds for them to rightfully retaliate in any sort of way they want, this isn't a fucking question.
The amount of civilian deaths that Marley incurred is not even comparable.
It's hard enough to take dialogue seriously in anime already without hearing that shit said out loud by some cringeworthy overacting American. The only dub I've ever enjoyed was Cowboy Bebop, the rest of the supposed good ones have been tragic
show is good, plot is entertaining, waifus & husbandos are not top but high tier, animation is very solid
so jeah overall people should watch it
The proportionality between offense and reprisal, means that even if his action are judged in the most legalistic way possible, and without the contex of Marley's continued
relentless attempts to exterminate his nation, Eren is fully in his right to level half of Marley, wiping out anyone not fast enough to escape so my argument is strengthened further.
That's what I meant.
Military target, not even remotely the same.
Come on people do you see how hard you are trying to justify the atrocities of a psychopath?
I am not saying what he is doing isn't understandable at some level, but saying it is redeemable is equally as psychopathic as he is.
There is no way to make Eren out to be the "good guy" anymore. No matter what mental gymnastics you perform. And I suspect you know that, you are just being stubborn.
Characters arcs arent completely ridiculous
Animation is good
Minimum amount of filler
Pretty cool music too
I'm really not that much into anime and still had a pleasant time with it, so I'd go with yes
Sorry, I was the speedreader this time.
How Marleyans are similar to Jews:
Brainwashing:
Jews do not believe in objective history because they cannot dominate it due to population size and lack of density globally. So they work to undermine, bribe, influence and excel at writing and PR.
We see in multiple instances that Marley is rewriting history to suit their own kin and using PR stunts (E.G. History books contain misinformation, the Tybur family incident).
Self-hatred:
Whites are often called devils for atrocities committed during the Holocaust and slavery. However, that's completely ignoring any role Jews play in oppressing every nation, including slavery. History meddling is also involved here.
Eldians outside of the walls often call themselves devils for purported atrocities that their ancestor committed.
>muh Holocaust denial
Any attempts to question the holocaust result in Europeans imprisoned or worse. Moreover, we are often blamed for the sins of our ancestors. Why is that? Any other attempt to deny other events from WW2 or other parts of history is only met with criticism.
Nationalism:
Eren Yeager's parents, Dina and Grisha, formed a nationalist tribe known as the Restorationists. The fact that they were very executed again draws parallels to modern day nationalism, including those who get persecuted for fighting for freedom and questioning history.
Then there's the Yeagerists. A militia with a central figure (Eren Yeager) formed for the sole purpose of restoring greatness to Eldia. It is going great lengths to ensure victory, going as far as staging a coup. The Yeagerists are akin to Nazi Germany and what Jews would call "Fascists".
The thought that I'm probably sharing the country with the sort of suicidal cucks who may find any sort of fault in Eren's actions terrifies me.
In Eren's case, yes.
His actions were to stir shit up on a global scale, and let's be real, kinda for shit and giggles.
But on a real world scale it's more complicated, merikkkans are terrorist on the middle east, isis are god sanctioned, righteous fighters by their followers.
Killing is overall bad, but even the terrorist side have support for some reason their own people know.
>Military target
Why are you ignoring his goals, I don't fucking understand. what you are trying to accomplish acting this delusional.
Magath and Willy's plan was made around him wanting to kill the military and Willy, there is a whole scene about this.
What the fuck is wrong with you.
I am fucking done with this.
Your reverse-psychology attemtps to make us side with Marley ain't gonna work.
Jesus Christ, I really deeply hate animeonlys that NEED to force this nazi/jew dynamic onto the series.
They just can't help themselves. Just stop.
the author is a Japanese right wing nationalist who bases characters off people who committed war crimes and thinks Imperial Japan did nothing wrong, you're a fucking brainlet if you don't see the parallels
>you're a fucking brainlet if you don't see the parallels
>proof? what the fuck is that
>author is a Japanese right wing nationalist
Source?
Mate, their war isn't one over a bit of land or a title like one of the pre-modern era, it's more like a world war or a classical war, the loser gets wiped out forever, if you fail to destroy your enemy they will destroy you. There is no international law in a war for survival
Jesus fuck, just kill yourself.
Pixis' LIKELINESS is based on that general.
Nothing else.
>our ancestors were right to oppress the world via imperialism
>*joins an far right nationalist group to restore the empire*
what did he mean by this?
Back in 2013 everybody and their aunt loved it.
I see the conversation with Kruger wen't right above your head.
It's vague, and we know that Rod Reiss had special titan serums that make unique kinds of pure titans - so specialities aren't only for shifters.
The form of the 9 titans might have been different at past and then they changed to meet a certain ideal over time based on the previous wielder's actions.
Just Google "Isayama nationalism"
Don't be so lazy. He's gone as far as to admit that there are parallels to Japanese generals in AOT.
There's no real source except some twitter ramblings supposedly connected to him. Isayama has rarely talked about the explicit political influences, which anyone can see is a cocktail of various similar but disconnected historical events throughout history.
Brainlets will assume it's him being "a nationalist" but you need to remember that modern left-wingers are so politically illiterate that they think if you don't vehemently support the view that white people are colonialist monsters, you're a nazi. There's no middle ground for some people, they live in a fantasy world where everyone who disagrees with them is a disney villain.
That attitude, as it happens, is precisely what Isayama criticises in his works. What he opposes is civilisations trying to whitewash their own violent past by pretending somebody else (i.e. another stronger oppressor) is evil. Marley were oppressed and then become the very thing they were once the victim of, and they justified this perpetuation by blaming Eldians for all the world's ills.
The other main message is that people need to move the fuck on. You can't do evil acts today and justify it because of someone's nasty ancestors. Eren is using the rest of his short life to fix the problem for good, so that his children don't have to deal with the ideological baggage of Marley or Eldia, this is the true freedom he strives for. Eren doesn't go to war for revenge, he made it very clear when talking to Reiner he no longer cares about revenge. Isayama doesn't think that Korean/Chinese whining about Japan's actions are in any way relevant any more - that's how he is "nationalist", by suggesting Japan really shouldn't be pandering to whining retards who are just digging up ancient events for their own benefit.
People need to move forward. Eren keeps moving forward.
Yes I like Kenny
>There's no middle ground for some people, they live in a fantasy world where everyone who disagrees with them is a disney villain
Yes, this is something left-wingers do.
Right wingers are smart. Cause they're us, right? Haha
>the survival of a race of people who can transform into monsters justifies genocide of billions of normal humans
Erenfags are disgusting
>there are parallels to Japanese generals in AOT
That makes him somehow nationalist?
They can't "transform into monsters" they are forced by a second party, you faggot.
Well, unless you don't consider him representing Japanese Imperial army in his works as nationalism, then yes.
So why didn't Kenny titan himself?
If you're one of those people who can transform into monsters then your survival trumps everything else, trying to take the objective third party approach to moral questions and thinking that the conclusions drawn from that perspective are more correct is retarded
A scout would just kill him anyway.
They are monsters that made a deal with the devil can't you see??
Holy shit, does the world really need to be flattened before you admit that these devils never deserved to live?
Eldians can exist, but the Paradis Eldians need to go. No two ways about it.
He explains it.
No I don't consider that nationalism at all.
Is George Lucas a nazi for taking inspiration from nazi uniforms when coming up with imperial uniforms?
Literally how does this follow?
It shows some uncanny preference for Germany, and in particular Nazi Germany if you decide to base some uniform on Nazi uniforms, don't you think?
They're really obviously the villains, what a dumb comparison.
The only reason you don't think subs are as cringe worthy is you literally have no idea what they're saying you dumb fucking weeb
Aren't*
No wait I was right the first time
>These retarded debates that ultimately mean nothing
>Can't simply enjoy the fucking show
Only a German dub would be acceptable for this series.
I know what they're saying by reading the subtitles you spastic, it's less cringeworthy because there's a layer of separation.
Discussion is enjoyment you literal faggot, if you want to mindlessly spam your shipper delusions like some sort of malfunctioning robot spamming two letters together over and over go make another thread dedicated to that.
It really, really doesn't.
Your idea of creating something is that of a 5 year old drawing a dinosaur with crayons.
Well the level of discussion here is utterly pitiful.
But this IS Yea Forums of course.
>moebabby with brainrot cannot handle discourse
Discussion doesn't work, new fag
I don't think you heard a german dub of an anime.
It usually ranges from not great to completely unbearable.
Naruto is completely amazing if you are a native speaker though, I watch it with my pals over beer to laugh over how ridiculous they are.
Just the word choices are so bizarre sometimes.
>new fag
>erenfags can only nitpick
as expected of 3/10witsfags
>dub
what the fuck am I reading here
>Music: 3/10
>Story: 7/10
>Animation: 9/10 during action 4/10 for the rest
>Characters 2/10
>Voice acting: 6/10
It's ok. Fanboys massively over hype it though, say it's "unpredictable" or has tons of twists because it's the first anime they've watched.
Exactly. If you actually understood the language you'd think it's just as bad.
I forgot all about this worthless character desu. Almost all of season 2 felt like tons of filler.
>Why yes, I do think genociding the world to secure a future for your people is acceptable
wtf i guess boku no pico is amazing
>If you actually understood the language
Funny how it's always EOPs who say this.
You didn't even say anything with your faggot post.
What does
>discussion doesn't work
Even mean?
Has copy pasting reviews on mal here always been a meme or am I just retarded?
That's not true though.
Writing good dialogue is hard, because you want it to sound natural, not like written down dialogue, if that makes sense.
Translating ALWAYS adds a layer of separation that makes things sound way more awkward and unnatural.
Assuming you are a native English speaker, watch Money Heist with the English dub instead of the Spanish original.
The dialogues sound so weird and forced somehow, that's because translation makes a lot of the original writing just not work anymore, instead you have to awkwardly tip toe around it in a way and create these awkward phrasings.
Original also has the direction of the original creators obviously, which is not a trivial thing.
There IS a difference, people are not just imagining things.
Funny how it's weebs who don't speak Japanese who claim subs are better
Subs are still better.
You don't get anything out of it on this website.
Have you ever seen anyone actually concede a point?
It's just shit flinging and calling each other retards and then getting mad about getting called a retard, so you try to adhom them some more and get more stubborn about your own point,
cause if you now concede your point, that means you are retarded and you don't want to give an INCH to that retard who called you a retard.
You can deny this, but all of you do this.
What good can come of this?
Just try to talk about cool shit.
Pass time, have discussion, use your brain for a while even if it is for retarded shit like this.
It's not that hard to see why people enjoy it.
Braindead shipping is 10 times more mind numbing than any discussion could be
Wanted to share my reaction to S1, I know nothing about S2 or S3 except the reveal due to below reasoning. Skip to last paragraph if you just want my reaction.
So due to recent uh, endings I finally started watching Attack on Titan. I usually refuse to watch shows that present the ending of humanity, but I get around that by checking the end, which per recent developments, I am aware that this doesnt quite end in that fashion.
But Journey before Destination, I know nothing about how we get to that point.
Finished S1 today, fuck it's good. Thought Eren would become a martyr for Mikasa, then I was like wtf plot armor? Then I was just like UHHHHHHHHH, and my favorite character died after 3 ep. COMEON WHY YOU GOTTA DO THAT TO PETRA. And a few logistical issues that hopefully will be determined after wafo, but come on, how the fuck does someone dissapear for so long and no one notices?!? And then origin point of the Titans? Still no clue about that, part of me thinks it's either an innate thing rather than a biological reworking, or possibly a subspecies?? But then theres also the issue of brainless ones... starting S2 tomorrow....
>I'm a dubfag
I'm so sorry
>It's another Eldians are Europeans/Jews debate meme thread
Just fuck off to /pol/ and make a SnK general there, faggots.
Nobody is using their brain.
It's just attempts of assassinating each others character while blindly insisting on whatever point you currently think you are making.
It's just unpleasant and entirely unproductive.
Yet nobody is claiming that anything that is lacking originality is better in Japanese. We claim subs are better, because they are the source...
They are neither, but Paradis is an allegory for Israel.
...
You are free to interpret it however you want, much like they are free to project their politics onto the story as well.
The author is dead
>entirely unproductive
As opposed to?
Cute snek
I grew up on RTL II anime block, user.
But that has nothing to od with my post. I just think that the Paradis Island and Eren Yaeger Isayama created could only be speaking in German.
Right wingers are massively derisive of those they disagree with but they don't get nearly as hysterical as the left do.
Modern left-wing ideology is about tearing civilised societies apart from the inside, whilst right-wing ideology is about protecting society from outside threats. One is irrational, the other is just human nature.
If only the world was as simple as it is in your little brain, user
It's rational if you are an 'enemy' to that society, both are human nature. Politics isn't about what's right or best, it's a resource war without (much) violence
so if it doesn't have to be 1:1 symbolism, then if your argument is garbage and Attack on Titan can mean whatever it needs to be for the reader. Instead of, you know the AOT world being its own universe without having to reference our world for "reasons". The themes in AOT is hardly just restricted to a portion of history or ethnic group. History repeats itself.
Humanity in Attack on Titan shows how the external threats that are clearly understood are as much real inside walls and boundaries that are outside where everyone presumes the threat to be.
The characters are motivated to kill titans, find truth, fight corruption, overthrow an existing government, fight spies, then the enemy on their own soil, then fight invaders only to not really know what is happening to who to support.
You are quick to defend your own explanations, attack others for theirs. When the meaning of the story is in the story beats themselves.
Isayama had been inspired by many things from his won experiences. Some of those inspirations turned into branding material. He even once was frightened by serving a foreigner at a cafe, partly responsible to the titans we see. Characters themselves share many different looks and don't refer to them being on a "side" at all. He simply accomplished the feat to distinguish his characters, knowing that they would likely all be wearing the same gear and couldn't have hairstyles and colors that a military or industry wouldn't except.
See how a difference in ideas made your conversation the way it is? You are just repeating a cycle of conflict. Which is based in being born in a world of information and no real orientation towards truth. We hold positions geographically and ideologically.
Paradis could have easily been an allegory for Japan's position in East Asia. Another parrellel is the walls which Isayama has stated he based on JAPANESE society.
I binge watched it last week after so many people were saying how cool season 3 was and it's worth it Tbh
The first season is a slog and has a lot of things that I really hated (corny buttrock to punctuate the 'emotional' moments is probably the worst) but it gets slowly better and better imo
Season 3 is very good with way better animation quality and has such a cool setup for what's coming next that I think I'm just gonna catch up with the manga now
Every Gigachad poster needs to stop and replace the image with
>this
>million dollar industry who specifically train their actors vs picking up some hobos from the streets
Geez I wonder which is better
>corny buttrock to punctuate the 'emotional' moments
Are you hating on DOA and Reluctant Heroes? You fucking faggot
Ignoring the fact you don't know that you're talking about
m.youtube.com
It wouldn't make sense for eldians to be the israelistes, using our world context white people or nazis would make much more sense (intelligent and beautiful people, white being persecuted by everyone, self hate, imperialism, warped story, etc)
I'd say discussion can also mean investment.
>Marleyans all have massive noses
Explain pieck and annie
You guys do know that something can reference more than one thing right? Like both Jews AND Europe at the same time?
I'm interested if Isayama ever thought of a language for the Eldians. It is a lot of work for absolutely no purpose, but their script looks interesting
I was thinking more of Call your Name but Reluctant Heroes is pretty bad too
DOA is not as bad but I would never call it good
>the solution to the cycle of hate and conflict is brute forcing a complete genocide of your enemies
you don't watch good anime
Compare these two scenes:
youtube.com
AND:
youtube.com
Tell me which is better. Obviously 1 is better, it's not even close.
>peick and annie are marleyans
Other than the animation, soundtrack, characters, writing, pacing, setting, action, and dialogue it's irredeemable shit.
Could be a stand-in for any other nation. It could be a stand-in for Japan, an island nation.
The walls represented Japanese society, easily applicable to every society where there is lower and higher status and outsiders. Which is every society.
If any country lays down their weapons they are subject to invasion.
Eldia is technologically behind the curve, but are industrializing as fast ass possible.
Rumbling is nukes.
Only a portion of the cast has large noses. otherwise, they just look anime, or share phenotypes from around our world, probably European.
no one was covering their ears. they wouldn't have posted if they weren't warranting a response. expecting discussion
You drew attention because you failed to realize that you made a narrative to make the source material mean whatever you wanted it to mean. Other evidence opposing you were somehow retarded.
Get off /pol/, it is rotting your brain if you can't realize that you were ignoring the source material as a whole and only chose to review a portion of it to get the narrative that was emotionally logical for you.
>This is what a pleb mind thinks
get filtered
Lmao ya the stupid sounding Japanese gibberish is soooo much better
See
Nobody answered OPs question about animation quality
EAbros? Are you still here?
The hilarious over acting of the Japanese never fails to make me laugh. Especially that questioning inflection they do. It's so over the top and bad.
It's alright, steadily goes up in quality through the seasons
Most of the animation budget is spent in the battle scenes, which are great
There's some crappy 3D animations here and there though
Go watch cartoons made by Americans and fuck off Yea Forums, this thread and SnK.
Nah I like Japanese cartoons. Some of them are great when they're in my language
Forgot to give you your (you)
>snk
Am I supposed to know what that stands for?
I like Japanese cartoons more than most American ones. It's just too bad they have such retarded sounding voices and voice acting. Good thing all these English dubs are around
I'm into the first few episodes and holy shit lads... this is bretty gud. I love that one shot in the first episode where the blonde guard looks at the titan in the face and theres no music. Just the shot of the titans grimacing face staring at him. Does the show retain this creepiness for the titans?
No.
sometimes the show makes them unnerving
and sometimes they make them dab
yes, make sure to watch the dub.
Every language in the world is worthless next to the superior american english.
So I'm a few episodes in and this is very dark for such a popular anime. The themes, violence, language, everything is much darker than I expected. I especially didn't expect Eren to have such a bloodlust for killing titans. I'm impressed so far. I hope it keeps these themes from here on out.
>I hope it keeps these themes from here on out.
It gets darker. It turns out his people are the ones who can turn into titans and that there exists a civilized world that hates them. Now he wants to genocide a world of innocent people for the sake of his kind
lol it has a level of self-consistency you can't find in moster other manga series. If you don't like the premise then fair enough but the execution is almost flawless.
No the mangaka is a westaboo, takes inspiration from capeshit, and changed the ending after the series got popular.

>“At first I explored emulating The Mist, but now you could say that I’m moving in a more peaceful direction, similar to Guardians of the Galaxy,” Isayama said as he explained where he hopes to take Attack on Titan

I thought you guys were memeing but this is really good, but holy fuck is it dark. Way darker than most anime I've watched. I never expected so much death and bleak tones. I mean the main character just died like 6 episodes in
>Generic alternate historical earth setting
Except there are no allusions to the real world except the upside-down map, which has no relevance to the story whatsoever. If SnK's world was actually an alternate version of ours then all those pasty white Marleyans in their Wermacht uniforms would have long since perished under the African sun.
>"deal with the devil" lore

That's so heavily simplified you might as well have just said "themes about hatred"2

Except it's got nothing to do with pessimism and everything to do with the human right to life.

Even if this were true, it would be a compliment because Naruto's strongest trait was its thematic storytelling
>blatant Abe shilling
What did he mean by this?
>muh descendants aren't responsible for the sins of the ancestors
...Do you have a problem with that?
>flashbacks, flashbacks, memories for character development and world building
Again, what's the problem here? The flashbacks are necessary for establishing the crucially important chain of events that caused the characters' current situation and the shifters' inherited memories is an interesting story element which if anything has been underused by the shifters themselves. Would you prefer exposition be delivered by characters reading history books aloud for 30 minutes?
>background character is suddenly revealed to be a shifter, kills herself later on because it's too early to reveal the outside world
She wouldn't have revealed shit even if she had survived, plus there were multiple factors that influenced her decision
>basement reveal is an exposition dump through memories
Awfully simplified way of describing the information that completely recontextualised the entire story and answered years worth of questions
>lazy timeskip afterwards for more mystery about why Eren is acting so different
It would've been more lazy to just play out the same events in chronological order, user.
>asspulls galore for titan shifters
The one criticism I'll agree with
Holy shit, have sex. Even when Levi shouts "Kenny" in English he actually sounds like you know, a man? Not like the Japs when they had to have him sound like he's taking a shit when throwing the blade.
>he hasnt seen the interview
yikes
>typical anime main guy
Who is forced to develop into a more nuanced character over the course of the first season alone, let alone the rest of the manga
>Super Sayi, ops i meant Kyuu, oops i meant the titan powers
Those three things have nothing in common besides "making you stronger". Imagine being butthurt because your shonen MC has superpowers
>kicks ass so the kids can cheer on
Just wait until he's kicking the kids' asses into the fucking sidewalk
i think the english dub would be more tolerable if eren wasnt played by such a complete fucking faggot. they always have garbage tier VA on the MCs in dub and it really anchors the quality
So why did you post a worse character?
Try actually reading that shit out loud you mong, no wonder noone takes EHfags seriously

Wait wtf Eren is a titan? Kino
user wasn't denying the holocaust, just pointing out that Hollywood and media in general fixates on it more than the countless other mass genocides in human history. Where's the award winning Nanking documentary? The TV drama about King Leopold's Rwandan massacre? The heartbreaking true story about a mother and her child living through the Irish famine?
I'm not a conspiracyfag but I wouldn't be surprised if the Holocaust is the most famous atrocity in the west because of the high number of Jews in control of both fictional and news media

user...
Cruelty of War and good soundtrack.
See the problem with these kinds of people is that, ultimately, the entirety of AoT would have to be erased and restarted from effectively the foundation up to appease them.
If Colossus and Armored were mindless but still ended up busting entrances into heavily populated zones, humanity would be GG NO RE in a 3 month time span. But if you nerf or remove them, then the walls would be impervious causing no conflict.
You'd need to remove the walls, colossus, and armored baseline. Except then you have the weird situation where humanity wouldn't have been able to fight back because they'd have 0 stable industries much less an economy because they'd literally be walked all over.
At best you might be able to do the ole "Zombies can't swim" and give humanity a century headstart before titans ended up swimming to the island but that's still a lost battle for humanity.
I honestly wouldn't mind a full season 1 of "Humanity fighting Titans" that ends with humies dying out though.
Ah yes, the old argument of "a character did a thing, therefore the author endorses that thing"
Alright, here's my verdict to you. If you're a dubfag, then that means you didn't even bother to get past S3 because that dub is not even finished. There's no telling where the fuck you are right now, so I'm gonna go ahead do this.
Sasha dies, Gabi kills her.
Zeke is the beast titan. He teams up with Eren.
Levi gets nearly killed in an explosion.
These are fresh S4 spoilers brought to you by non other than dub hater.
GET FUCKED.
You are faggots. I know you don't read the manga. I told you to fuck off, and you didn't listen.
This
They're Eldians with massive noses. Every race in AoT has a massive nose.
Society in the mountains maybe? Some kind of terrain that's not passable.
They're on the episode I call "Puppy Chow" because I don't remember it's true name.
They unironically skipped over the beginning scene that came after the credits during the basement episode and they literally explained that they fucked up the week before and started it from there. Which was neat.
So they're almost at the end I guess.
I'm a dubfag who read the manga after season 1 and I'm laughing so hard at the fact you typed all that in vain
Endings where everyone dies are the worst kind though, they might as well have been killed off in chapter 1 for all the difference it makes. Also I don't see a single Guardians parallel in SnK so who gives a fuck if Isayama likes MCU or not
>They unironically skipped over the beginning scene that came after the credits during the basement episode and they literally explained that they fucked up the week before and started it from there. Which was neat.
Ahhhh. That's dubs in a nutshell. Shitty quality. Trimmed ops and eds. It goes on and on...
>50 meter fall
t. speedreader
jeez when you put it that way it kinda sounds like gurren lagann
Japanese voice actors are better and do their best while voice acting, american ones always sound like they want to hurry and finish what they are doing to go home
Only toonami did that retard. I literally just watched that one online and the post credit scene was there
>do their best
>over act so much it's comical to listen to
holy based
samefag
I just watch all of Season 3, parts 1 and 2 in one go, it's easily the best season.
Either that or i have not seen the first 2 in so long, i recommend it, shit's a wild wild ride.
I think its more to do with the setting of the manga. Along with the many German aspects the story has.
This is the most lame antagonist ever. Literal teenage nihilism
For years, I have waited.
He's the hero we don't deserve
>hero
>wants to destroy the world
Traitors are not considered Eldian, trash.
he’s the hero for an eldian person who grew up with the titan mystery reveal
>Is this worth watching
nope
its good
>post's BNHA
>Is this worth watching ''nope''
LOL the irony
well, you said it, so now it's shit
>tfw the writer wants to wrap up the war between usa and japan so he just asspulls THE BIGGEST BADDEST BOMBS and drops them on japan out of a gay plane
he figured he might mess it up and he realized how futile it was to cling onto life, he was happier having understood uri a little bit or something
if you can make such sweeping generalizations of "left" and "right", you probably aren't nearly as rational as you think you are
All those German aspects like
>The names
>
Yeah I really think this could work when you look at all this.
architecture
art
culture
Eldians literally get mass brain washed by the FT.
Their very memory can be altered at will to whatever.
Self hatred:
Not really present in the story, except for the Eldians in the Warsow... sorry Liberio Ghetto.
How many times were "whites" (what do you even mean by that? Russians? Germans? Polish? The American perspective of races does not apply to the rest of the world)
Plus you literally just blamed da Joos for a bunch of stuff their ancestors allegedly committed.
Popular things to justify jew hate:
>They poisoned the water
>They eat babies
>They stole all the money and threw it in the ocean (literally)
>They cause wars deliberately
>Muh joos
The PR stunts Marley attempts are very much like Nazi Germany Propaganda. This shit works on stupid people to this very day, as you are currently illustrating.
The rest of your post is just 14 year old /pol/ nonsense, but non pertinent in a similiar fashion.
If you are gonna LARP as a retard to bait, at least think it through.
how is the american voice acting not similarly ott (but also terrible quality)?
except that he sounds like he barely cares that his teammate has just died and this guy from his childhood has shown up out of nowhere
the japanese VAs actually convey emotion
no, the english VAs are just always hot garbage that make it impossible to get invested or immersed. the japanese VAs seem better, but im not even gonna claim they are - just the fact that its in another language means i cant really tell, and thats still better
maybe, but that doesnt mean its not still a better experience to watch subs as someone who doesnt speak japanese
and now its amazing
only bertolt, chadner is a bonafide manly man
>english dubs are always cringeworthy with soi boys who sound like their balls haven't dropped
The subs are the same it's just you don't understand the language
he lost to eren before that, he's never been that good, he just had a good titan. he has never won a legit fight in the entire series. his whole character is him being a disappointment, he wasn't even meant to become a titan warrior in the first place
What part of it is german art or culture?
Point out specific instances.
The architecture is not particularly german at all.
Pretty generic central european looking.
this is dumb, but ill slightly agree with the first clause there. i still love how it turned out, but i was a lot more invested when it was this grimdark post-apocalypse scenario where they had basically no hope. with the ackermans and eren having a titan it went from the best in the world having
i mean they could have easily just had him dodge the attack, its the equivalent of that. its just a bit more interesting because it incorporates titan powers, and theyve been setting up the spine shit for the entire series basically
that was pretty disappointing. it was a cool fight but the fact that they got beat so easily by a plan that had zero knowledge of the titan's abilities was a bit of a copout
this scene is pretty cringe tbf, i dont get why people like historias character. she was set up pretty cool by her interactions with ymir but this scene was a dumbshit
beast only has that ability because Zeke's mum is royal, also he can only control the ones created from his own personal spinal fluid. coordinate can control any and all pure titans, and probably override the beast titan's control as well
female has hardening, but i guess thats something that can be added? since eren gets it anyway. maybe they managed to isolate that ability from the female titan to get it in liquid form
coordinate has control over titans but nothing physically special, jaws has jaws (but ymirs version is shitty, the next person to wield it makes it much clearer)
not really sure what the deal with the attack titan is, is it just angry or something? or maybe stronger
>Beast Titan most likely literally transforms you into an animal(Zeke's titan seems to be unique as far as BT holder goes).
dont we see the previous holders' BT in a panel somewhere? and its still humanoid. not 100% on that
The AT seems the most balanced out of them.
This is where the theorizing comes from.
shitskins want the exotic white blond
Also Xavier said his titan form was pretty uselles, no?
if one side is wiped out the hatred will end tbf
it does for like a season and a half, but they become less important later on
he hasn't actually changed the ending by that quote, he's just thinking about it again
also great media is created by collecting influences from various places, all the shittiest mangas/animes are the ones that do nothing but regurgitate all the common anime tropes back into a show again
a titan learns to climb a tree at one point tho, they can learn
as in a balance of all the traits? i guess so, it got BTFO pretty hard by female titan though, and not just because annie is a better fighter. the hardening is op
But the hardening is not a female titan trait, even Porco has hardening.
fair, theres also the weird anime OP where the beast titan is running with big animals
It was an act of war
it is both justified and appropriate
In fact, given that marley attacked first, it were just desserts for their actions. But Eren was nice enough to wait until the declaration of war.
And in war, there are unfortunate instances of the collateral damage
why are you even here you retard
jaws? the teeth and claws aren't the same thing as controlled hardening. the armoured titan has, well, armour, but he can't control his hardening either.
but the fact that eren got hardening from a jar makes it kinda suspect
His whole face is covered in armor, his claws are reinforced too.
>but he can't control his hardening
I can't even begin to imagine being this much of a speedreader.
There's only one reason to watch it. To become a Erenchad, it's a privilege only a select few get to embrace and enjoy. Join the masterrace user.
edgy
Is Eren a chad? I thought he kind of looked like the protagonist who cries alot and relies on others for help. Is he not?
He fought on his own against 3 titans and almost made it.
No one in this whole series has done anything completely on their own so I don't even know what you mean by that but Eren is not a coward.
there was a big timeskip in the manga and now he's much more independent and assertive
Because I like anime retard
>
Plus you literally just blamed da Joos for a bunch of stuff their ancestors allegedly committed.
Popular things to justify jew hate:
Every time some fucker uses "da joos" I know he's a leftist cuck. The jews sided with the fucking muslims in the iberian peninsula for fuck sake
both. first watch then read as I did. The anime is accurately the same
Not EXACTLY the same(there have been some changes, bigger or smaller), but you don't lose anything essential by watching first.
People don't think the sub is better, because they can't actually tell unless they're fluent in japanese. It's easier to point out when something sounds bad when it's in a language you understand.
...
>hasn't watched past the first season
>actually skipped the second best season
>BNHA
>thinking that isayama's taste in film is going to influence the ending that majorly, despite the newest chapter
I heard this animu had a great protagonist. Is this true?
No
It depends.
Linking to plebbit (I know I know) but if you can stomach it, this is quite the read. I dare anyone to read this entire thing
>muh emotionu and cadenceu is saprior
Lmao the japs over acting and ridiculous voice inflections aren't any better you retard. You literally project because you aren't understanding them you fucking weeb
Original language is always superior.
Be that English, German, Spanish, French whatever.
Just because you only watch anime and shows in your native language, doesn't mean that other people don't have a more vast experience with dubbing and localisation.
Original > Dub
99% of the time except when they are different but equal.
But in AoT wouldn't German be the "orginal" considering they aren't even japanese besides Mikasa?
and whats wrong with that? you inject emotion into words when you read them in a comic or a book. less is more
Original language as in what was intended, SnK wasn't made by a german person.
I mean to be fair to the retard americans, they are usually monolingual so they cannot understand this concept.
The original will always be better, hell most bilingual people agree on this, watching dubbed western movies is grating as fuck.
"Less is more" is the opposite of Japanese voice actors
No, what ever language you understand is better
America is vastly bigger to any eurocuck country, why fucking bother when a 6 hour drive in any direction will land me in the middle of more English speakers
I watch dub animes but this dub is just bad. Something about the voice actors sound wrong and the sound quality of the voice recording sounds very trashy. The sub sounds amazing that it doesn't sound or look like they're putting recordings over animation. This series is definitely sub>dub
pretty irrelevant reply to what I was saying. sure, they might overact a bit, whatever, thats just an anime trope the same as a lot of other things im sure you put up with. id prefer that with some chance to separate myself and not notice it as much, instead of being painfully aware all the lines are being read by extremely unsuccessful 20 year old american VAs
You are retarded.
You are smart.
You are not smart.
It has the worst dub out of all the serious anime, not counting meme shit like fandubs for some 90s anime or obscure shit. I don't know how people can listen to it. Yea Forums could do a better fan dub for the anime.
Bryce Papenbrook is terrible as Eren, it's insane how bad he is, he isn't even that bad in other roles he plays, just Eren. His voice for Eren is that weird high pitched voice people do when they are mocking what other people.
One thing I don't get from the whole ideological fight in the anime: why would ANY Eldian even give a fuck about the past, the supposed crimes they have committed, or the fact that they are "a danger for everyone else"?
Like, if you were one day told that your entire family is incredibly powerful, and that anyone in your bloodline can snap and become borderline invincible at any time, able to impose their will on inferior beings, who the FUCK would react in any way outside of "That's cool as shit, so everyone outside of my race is made up of subhumans?"
I can understand mainland Eldians being brainwashed, but why would a Paradis Eldian ever, ever, EVER hear about their race and think of it as anything but a good thing?
Eldians are literally a superior race with the means of controlling the world and advancing much faster than normal humans would, if they weren't constantly kept limited on purpose.
It is their right, no, their duty to rise up above the inferior races and control them, and yet they roll over and ask to be killed because "Boohoo, we're so superior that subhumans can't possibly even hope to compete if we tried ;__;"
It makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

>When Eren asked Falco “Is that person…a girl?”, he was under the influence of other people’s memories (Possibly Grisha in that moment)
>He is now influenced by a lot of the memories he retained, and he determinedly chopped off his own leg before entering Marley
He's being heavily influenced by memories of multiple people. and got his head BTFOff this chapter without his Ackermutts and Arming to help him
>inb fuck off to /pol/
Look at today's Germans.
Hitler managed to pick up his country from schambles and make it a superpower.
Can Germans be proud of the fact that back in the day they united and were powerful?
No, they are the bad guys since they lost the war. (Arguably SS were evil bastards, but Wermacht were just your typical rednecks)
Now look at America.
Burgers joined the fight when most of the fight was done.
For the biggest part they were just giving supplies.
When they finally reached Europe they just fought against Germans that were already losing to Russians.
Now look at movies depicting the WW2 and tell me Americans aren't the heroes.
They saved the Europe from the bad guys after all
You are pretentious and gay
Just like white people
>unironically admitting to watching dub
>Lmao compared to the squeaky toy voices of japs
If you watched more than Dragon Ball in japaneese you'd knew that not all seyiuu have "squeaky toy voices".
Americans did save EU from the bad guys, they saved it from the Soviets. And i believe it was intentional. They didn't want to open the second front earlier because they were hoping for Soviets and Germans to weaken each other, when it became clear Soviets were gonna win the war, the mission has become to reach Germany at least as fast as the Soviets do, and preferably faster, in fact Russians ignored some areas and went straight to Berlin for this reason. Most people do not realize this, but USA opened the second front not to save the EU from Germans, but to protect it from Soviets.
>being a pretentious weeb
Watching your Japanese children's cartoons in a different language doesn't make you intelligent you retard
You're right, sometimes they sound like my 10 year old brother trying to act tough
>protect Europe
LOL go die for Israel
I've been watching the dub. Its great
You're a fkin moron. I'm not American. I'm Armenian, which is a post soviet country.
And that is simply the reality of what happened.
RETURN OF THE ZOGNOIDS
what is this expression trying to convey?
I really enjoy looking at this character for some reason.
