/a/ - Animu & Mango

The last five chapters could have been condensed to one and it would still feel too fucking slow.

No, they're dragging on this fight for another 10 chapters and then maybe they might mention it again and then just fuck off and do something else for another 20 chapters.

>>437116

To be fair, wasn't this supposed to be significantly shorter, like to the point where none of this ass-pullery matters?

Read it 2 minutes ago, forgot what happened because it was 41 pages of basically nothing.

Fucking hell.

>>437135

>wasn't this supposed to be significantly shorter

That's what I've heard. It would explain why everything's so drawn out and padded now - the manga wants to keep the chapters coming to keep the volumes rolling, the author had this idea for a story and probably is trying to conserve as much of the original idea as he can, so he's just stretching things out.

>Titans can't move at night. No one hunts them at night. Titans can't climb the walls. No one uses the walls for evacuation or barracks.

You're making too much sense, anon. Oh look, another major character turns out to be a titan. What a twist!

>>437112

>My interest in SNK dropped significantly after every titan shifter reveal. The world used to be an asymmetrical war against a new horror monster

I miss that. It was like a zombie apocalypse, where the zombies were massive, and humans were like insects that had to attack in swarms to have any hope of taking them down.

It had this ragtag, desperate feel, of humans fighting against an overwhelming and unstoppable foe. A sense of doom hung over the characters, which actually made their fighting back more badass. Every victory was a massive "fuck yeah!"

I just wish Eren had stayed dead. Him coming back as a giant was the beginning of the end. It switched the dynamics from humans in awesome grappling hook gear zipping around and attack in swarms, to humans playing support for the transformer who punches giants to death.

Shit sucks. And it's only gotten worse with each reveal.

>retarded mainstream contrarian opinion

yeah, its like im really back in cuckchan

for hating snk so much, you're awfully addicted to following it, aren't you? ;)

>another major character turns out to be a titan

M8 that happens once. The surprise of the other characters being titans were that they were random background characters that you wouldn't pay attention to, but when you did you'd realize they hinted at it all along.

>>437296

See, I don't understand fans like you. The Eren reveal happens almost immediately, even if you're talking the manga. It's not like it was that bad, either. He couldn't use his powers for shit and it was more harm than it was worth. Hating "what SNK became" when Eren turned into a titan is like hating "what Dragon Ball became" when Bulma introduced Goku to capsules.

At least hate it for a decent reason. The pacing turning to shit, the reveals taking way too long and getting hyped up way too much for shit that's obnoxiously obvious (the Grisha reveal, for example), other mysteries getting straight-up dropped for like 50 chapters(Ymir-sama??), fujoshit pandering, adding background stories to characters that don't need them, etc.

The worst is that the creator is adapting to the anime's style of making everyone have obnoxious monologues for no goddamn reason, and having powers get way overblown. I have a very strong feeling that that chapter where Eren punches a titan and gets his coordinate powers was because of the anime over-exaggerating titan transformations and adding smoke and lightning everywhere with lots of screaming and blood and crying.

Only a matter of time before Erwin becomes a titan shifter and is basically immortal and Hange becomes a shell of her former self to be the comic relief she is in the anime, rather than a legitimate character who's slotted to be the next commander.

The titans were a really cool concept, until they ruined everything with shifters. So the series was good for about all of five minutes, like everything else that seems to be popular with normalfags nowadays.

If my stupid faggot friend has to gush to me about it, I swear I am going to strangle him.

Have they reached the basement yet?

Even if the titan shifters took out the horror element from the series, I always found the idea of humans doing things that might lead to the end of humanity as a whole pretty interesting. So it didn't really bug me the wrong way. But the military is fucking incompetent and the anime is trying too much to be dramatic, without having means to be dramatic. And killing characters is just done for shock value.

>ISIS has shit taste

I think what surprises me the most is that watching animu isn't a beheadable offense.

>>437396

What grim aura? The series left that when our dear hero TRANSFORMED INTO A FUCKING TITAN, and SnK turned into a fucking kaiju show.

And this is coming form someone who loves giant monsters.

>>437425

Yeah, no, the faggots who complain about the titan shifters are retards. It played such a small role and Eren was the only one that wasn't either a chaotic neutral or trying to find a way to exterminate all humans, so it's not like it was some NGE shit or something. It kept a grim aura because Eren's power almost never meant anything except for like 1 or 2 moments where it saved some people from being killed. Even when he was fighting there were still people being squashed while praying or chomped on by titans that he wasn't bothering with. It still had the grim aura.

>>437116

I thought the reason no one hunts titans at night was because of visibility? I vividly remember back during the Connie's mom incident that some squads were trailing the wall, looking for its theoretical breach but they could barely see in front of each other with the lanterns.

I thought the reason why the walls aren't used for anything other than wall-mounted weapons is because the walls are "holy" so it was forbidden to do such things.

>>437545

Funnily enough, the live-action movies addresses these points.

> Titans CAN move at night and can see just fine unlike humans; their inactivity is actually to conserve energy due to lack of solar power (yes, titans are powered by the sun, they don't actually gain nourishment from eating humans.

> Not only don't they have enough resources to fix the wall, the humans LACK any knowledge on how to repair them in the first place for some reason. So instead of dispatching people to man/study/reinforce the walls, they treat it as "untouchable" ground and keep away from it.

>M8 that happens once. The surprise of the other characters being titans were that they were random background characters that you wouldn't pay attention to

Right, I never would have paid attention to Annie or Reiner, either.

More like Attack on Gayan, amirite?
