Attack on Titan

Konata

MOD NOTE: JJayoo I've edited your post to make that a spoiler. I'm not sure how 'big' a spoiler or not it is but I've only seen the TV series and wasn't aware of that so adding the spoiler tags just in case.

JJayoo

Thanks Konata, completely forgot

I'm a bit late to the party, Started watching this on Friday. Up to episode 19 now.

Found it very slow in the middle but picking up now again, its excellent.

Great to have another anime series to binge on. But will probably have it finished by tomorrow morning.

Just finished it on Netflix, really enjoyed it even though I'm not a huge anime/manga fan

Does the manga follow the TV show? If I want to continue the story where should I start?

Yes it does. I think the series ends around chapter 32. A second season is apparently in production for next year and the Junior High spin off is getting an animated version in October.

Looks like someone messed up somewhere because a dvd screener of the film was leaked

English subs and all, no 720 or 1080 though.

Is season 3 available to watch with english subs yet?

Season 2 hasn't started yet.

CastorTroy

Maybe thinking of that Attack on Titan: Junior High series?

Gandalph

Yeh maybe I was, is that any good?

Thargor

I seriously doubt it.

Just finished reading all the chapters , actually obsessed!! I have a theory about how titan shifters syringe

Mr.Saturn

And, finally, it seems season 2 is confirmed for Spring 2017.

Mr.Saturn

Pardon the double, but is anyone keeping up with the books? I love how it goes from wholly predictable to absolutely heartbreaking in the space of half a page.

Yeah, reading it chapter by chapter on Crunchyroll. Just stopped the free releases of the chapters this month though due to a change in their licencing agreement with Kodansha.

Thankfully I'm a premium subscriber, best €40 you can spend on anime for the 12 month sub.

Mr.Saturn

Aye, my Crunchyroll sub is mainly due to Titan. Plenty of stuff there to justify it otherwise. Stayed up last night for the simulpub and ended up glad I did. The last scene is gonna be spoiled without due context in comment sections the internet over.

Another query, if anyone would know, but is Funimaton's service barely worth it to anyone? I signed up for the free trial and every single program wasn't available in Ireland. I know their licenses are geo-restricted, but the fact it was everything had me wondering was there something wrong.

You must have somehow subscribed to the US service or something. The Irish service has most of the US stuff, two notable exceptions being Dragon Ball and One Piece. Sign up at http://www.funimationnow.ie

Mr.Saturn

Chapter 85 spoilers.

7 years after it launched, the lads finally made it to the basement. Levi became even more of a hero when he serves as the anti-filler agent.

Also, picked a fine day to resubscribe to Crunchyroll, seeing as they've just announced a partnership with Funimation.

Was very late to the party, but loved Season 1. And tore through it before Netflix lost the license and removed it. Trailer for Season 2 released; looks very cool (does reveal one integral plot point). Although I was watching it in English dub. May have to watch a couple of Japanese episodes to get used to having to take in subtitles plus the spectacle all at once (and adjust to the different voices)

If you want to watch season 2 in English the dub episodes should be out within a month of the Japanese broadcast as there is no way Funimation aren't simuldubbing it.

CastorTroy

Starting in April, so wonder when it'll be completed, since wouldn't mind binging it.
I watched the dub as well so think will wait for this dub

Think its scheduled for 25 episodes, same as season 1. As I said the dub should be available week on week within a month of the initial Japanese broadcast, hell wouldn't surprise me if Funimation try to get it out dubbed the same day as they did with Space Dandy and are currently doing with Akiba's Trip.

That would be fantastic!

It does, only 12 episodes though.

Gingervitis

Good start. Not a huge fan of the new opening and ending themes, but at least there's lots of stuff in the ending credits for the manga readers
