I still disagree that Erin was being emo last chapter but this chapter the fact that it took him so long to snap out of it was a bit emo. Personally I think that's a good thing though and a logical progression of his character development. His confidence had been waning this entire arc due to...

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin Chapter 65 Spoiler Discussion So feeling bad because a shit ton of his friends died is being emo? It's like people expect fictional characters to never have emotions or to feel sad about things. Have you ever had a close family member or friend die? If so I'm sure...

Only someone with mental retardation would try and take on a titan bare-fisted, even if their son is getting eaten. I think you're underestimating the instinctive fight or flight response in humans.

Finally the boring-ass revolution arc is getting over with. So let me get this straight... Zackly was the mastermind behind the coup and Irvine didn't want to really go along with it? Lol, wtf. And as for Erin eating his dad, wtf, I didn't understand that flashback at all really. Is Erin...

Isayama needs to stop with his failed attempts at humor. First the whole molestation thing, then troll face Armin, now Quick-Draw McGraw Kenny. I mean what the fuck? Kenny was built up to be this sadistic, twisted villain that murdered Historia's mother, killed Reeves, then killed Levi's entire...

Re: Shingeki no kyojin volume 13 cover. Wow, that is pretty hardcore looking. :)

Aside from closeness I just want more interaction in general between them which we seem to be getting less and less of. It's like Isayama sort of teased us with that one scene where they were taking the supplies into the cabin and Sasha was stealing potatoes etc. but after that it's like he's...

It's odd that Armin would say something like "We're not good guys any more." considering the fact that when he spoke to Annie before she was captured he basically said that a "good person" was just a matter of perspective. Also, I thought "troll face" Armin was a pretty big leap out of...

Nothing much to say here that hasn't been said already. Looks like those of us who predicted a coup were correct after all. Glad Jean "took care of" that guy who gave Armin trouble and comforted him at the end of the chapter with the others. Also glad Isayama has swung the door wide open for...

Yeah, the latest chapter did really feel un-SNKish (honestly I think "soulless" would be a good word to describe it too) and I think you may be onto something with Isayama trying to move the plot forward in a different way than he may have originally intended. The way the plot flowed in that...

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin Chapter 53 Spoiler Discussion I think what's more interesting about that scene is trying to figure out what Isayama intended, because I really have no clue how he wanted us to feel about it as readers. There isn't much humor in SNK so to just sort of pull something...

Re: Shingeki no Kyojin Chapter 53 Spoiler Discussion Is it just me or has the writing seemed kind of "off" this chapter? I can't really put my finger on it but the whole chapter just seemed weird. The plot progression, the characterization, even the art seemed a little off. As for the "Armin...

Yeah, I think the level of storytelling isn't as strong as the main series, particularly considering how rushed this recent chapter's plot seemed but the whole chain thing was a minor issue to me, I'm willing to overlook the fact that it's BS so long as the main plot stays interesting. As for...

There could be several explanations for how he knew of chains corroding and rusting. I'm guessing it is just something he overheard at some point. If that isn't the case then Charle must have suggested it since she's in on his escape attempt. Didn't click the spoiler so I can't comment on it...

Changing the story as it goes along seems like a pretty natural thing, I doubt most authors stick with their original plan over the years (sometimes decades) it takes to finish a manga. This is Isayama's first manga so maybe he didn't expect things to turn out this way, he's still learning as an...
