HOLY FFFFF-----K! FINALLY! I thought we would never see these get published outside Japan. Even the light novels are coming out! No more waiting for Edited Manga/translation groups to pick them up(of course, unless the publishers drop them...which I hope will never happen). Now shut up Kodansha and Vertical, and take all of my money! XD

Newtype Anime Awards prizes

SNK won a lot of prizes. I can understand why it won the prize of Tittle of The Year but I don't think Araki and Kobayashi should have won, it's as if they were encouraging them, but it the majority is fine with the last fillers it makes sense. I am perfectly fine with the soundtrack prize, Sawano is awesome. Mikasa is considered the best female character, it's understandable but there is a lot of female characters better than her IMO.l I find almost all the characters below her better.
WIT won the prize of the Best Studio....

Hi. I just wanted to know if how many SNK special episodes (the ones with them being all chibis) are already released?

I've seen some from Tumblr, but they're only gif sets. I've been searching for them all over the internet, but somehow, they would only result to 2 episodes.

Does anyone knows where I could watch/download them?

 

[Demonspeed]

I believe there is 2 specials per BD/DVD but only 3 are translated.

Vol.1 (day 1, 2) - released, subbed
Vol.2 (day 3, 4) - released, subbed
Vol.3 (day 5, 6, 7) - released, non EN subbed
Vol.4 (day 8, 9, 10) - released, non EN subbed

not sure if we are allowed to provide link to those...?

@nesean
Do you know what episodes are in Volume 5? I pre-ordered Volume 6 and I'm at least hoping that episode 13 comes out in it instead of volume 5.

From what I've read on the official site (it says 3 episodes included), I am pretty sure Ep. 11, 12, and 13 comes out on vol. 5.
Here's what likely:
v.5 (11,12,13). v.6 (14,15,16). v.7 (17,18,19). v.8 (20,21,22). v.9 (23,24,25)
* 2nd OP for v.6~9

 

[Yumpo]

Pshh. Dammit. I wanted episode 13...XD

Episode 13 was that episode with lots of animation errors in it. I wanna see the BD/DVD corrections...Well, too bad. But at least v.6 has the new opening+episode 16. So I guess I'm okay with it. Plus, I did pre-order the special edition...

Anyway, do you guys want screenshots from the visual novels once I get my hands on it? XD. It's probably going to be low quality though since I only have a blu-ray player for my TV, not my computer.

 

[nesean]

^ on the bright side, you'll have one less month of wait to see those ep. 13 corrections. lol...

Would also love to see those bonus 4koma in the booklet. I know they've added this in v.3...

 

[Beatrice]

Hmm...I didn't mean anything special though...Just that, are these weapons made for one specific Titan? Or something like that. The way that Kodansha translated it is that they implied that the Survey Corp has been using it for some Titans that caught their attention for quite some time already. At least from what I understood.

Chose a random quote from your conversation with Kannazuki.

This makes me wonder about Annies surprised expression and her desperation to take Eren.
Anime makes it clear, Annie did not expect Eren to fight back or at least was surprised he did,

Along with this info I'm wondering...what if her intention was to "save" Eren?

Spoiler

We now know, Eren holds the coordinate, so I'm going into the direction of a potential twist that the only danger is not just the Traitor Faction but perhaps also Irvin.

We know he's a genius.
Wouldn't be surprised if he planned:
A - Do something to Eren within the Woods.Afterall, it was secluded and only the vets were there.Something wasn't supposed to be seen and Eren was already labeled as dangerous.Mighty nice excuse if Eren rampages.

B - Backplan, a shifter appears.

 

[Demonspeed]

Look what I found on Isayama's blog

@Beatrice: I can't picture Erwin as a villain, really, with everything he did, his speeches and his determination, I would find it really odd if he was a villain.

The final round of the Community Awards have finally started! Everything will be decided now, so it would be great if as many people as possible make some time to vote in the different categories =)

As much as I'm hoping him not to be one, there's no distinct guarantee that he isn't.
First time we discovered Ryner and Bert actually being the Colossal and Armored titans, wasn't that a blindside revelation we all didn't expect? Even when Annie was discovered as the female titan.


If Erwin is a villain, then where would that place Rivelle ? For all we know he could be one as well since he's literally the only one who have demonstrated how skillful he has been in taking care of titans, even intelligent ones.




p.s - has anyone checked this out?

Oh. My. G-d.
I know this page isn't probably done by Isayama or anything, but damn I just wanted to see this translated.

 

[KingOfNight]

Question:

Are the character statistics in the SnK Wiki credible? Like, do they come from reliable sources or are they just fan made?

 

[Yumpo]

@KingOfNight
They came from the first guidebook Inside Kou. Though I wouldn't trust the guidebook either because there was a mistake even pointed out by the mangaka himself.

 

[kannazuki]

Yumpo, I was meaning to check into those mistakes from Inside Kou. Like Hanji's rank is wrong there isn't it? She should be ranked higher than people like Petra or Oluo (since she's seen commanding multiple squads more than once and she's one of the few that survived over 5 years) but she was put down as being the same as them there. Do you know the link to where he points these mistakes out, offhand? (I'm sure it's on his blog but that doesn't sound easy to search for...)

 

[Yumpo]

@kannazuki
Sorry about that! I actually don't know whether Isayama pointed that out as a mistake or not. The only one I know was of that ship thing with Eren and Annie. XD

 

[kannazuki]

Well I did a general google search on "inside kou ~mistakes" in English out of curiosity and one of the top results (and probably the only relevant one) came from Papermoon's blog, incidentally. A post from August. She lists a few "glaring errors" from the guidebook there, but then again recently she upheld the image showing Hanji's "low" rank as being accurate, so I don't know what to think...?
