You can ask the Manga question here and the Anime too if you want.

But better use Anime thread for Anime related queries.

I am Questioning about "pomegranate"

Spoiler: S1 Ep7

As you remember in Season 1 Ep 7 , mikasa saw "pomegranate"

Spoiler: S2 ending

Now in the ending of S2 , we see again "pomegranate"
at first in S1 i thought its a symbol of hope or rebirth .they add it to anime , it was not in manga ,

Spoiler

The Pomegranate as a Symbol. Almost all the great religions of the world have sanctified the pomegranate and ascribed manifold meanings to it. The mythology of ancient Greece regarded this fruit as the symbol of life, marnage and rebirth in the abduction story of Persephone by Hades, the god of the underworld.

Has anyone seen these before? Saw these on reddit the other day, thought they were pretty cool, first time I saw these.

Katana Titan

Rock Titan

Huge Titan

Wall Titan

These were from a game back in 2013 (I think?) called Shingeki no Hangeki, so this is all actual, official artwork. Too bad we never got to see this kind of Titan variety in the actual story, could've been kinda like Terraformars.

That's really damn cool! Especially the "katana titan", Badass . Can't see the rock titan image tho

Spoiler

This one...reminds me so much of some character but im not sure where from.

That one reminded me a bit of a Cockroach from Terraformars, hence why I also brought it up.

This one, probably because of the fur:

Can you see this one?

At least the Wall Titan seemed to have made it here..
Perhaps he Isayama is using one of these desgins or recycling some of these designs for the 7th titan, it is obvious how some of these designs influenced the Beast and Armoured Titan and even the Collosal Titan

SNK INTERVIEWS: ISAYAMA HAJIME’S Q&A FROM FEBRI VOL. 42 (JULY 2017 ISSUE)

- What is your most essential drawing tool?
9mm 2B pencil lead.
As it’s both thick yet soft, it’s easy to erase cleanly, so I enjoy using it the most. I don’t really understand the differences between all the manufacturers, so as long as the lead is this exact type, I’m fine with whichever.

- What do you do when you’re not working?
I play video games.
My nephews have been visiting me recently, so I have them bring their controllers and play Splatoon with them.

- Who is your favorite character in Shingeki no Kyojin?
Reiner.
As time progresses, my favorite character keeps shifting. My favorite is Reiner at the moment - I want to draw more and more of Reiner.

- Favorite music as of late?
Kiyoshi Ryuuji.
Even though my all-time favorite is Shinsei Kamattechan, who sang the SnK S2 ED, my favorites as of late are Creepy Nuts and Kiyoshi Ryuuji. For Kiyoshi, every single one of his songs has been a hit - even those he produced for others - which is an incredible success rate. I feel like he’s like Hyadain-san (T/N: Famous Japanese composer and lyricist), only he can also sing and dance.

- Favorite manga as of late?
Boku-tachi ga Yarimashita (T/N: We Did It).
The author, Kaneshiro Muneyuki (T/N: The artist for the title is Araki Hikaru), is my contemporary at Bessatsu Shonen. It’s just such an incredible piece of work. Initially I already had good feelings toward him because we started out together, and when I reached the middle of the story I suddenly went, “Eh? This manga is a masterpiece…?” I even got goosebumps. He created an unbelievable story, so I’m thrilled as his contemporary.

- Favorite video game as of late?
Wii U’s Splatoon.
Even though the game has been on sale for two years already, I’m still playing it consistently. It has been a long while since I started, but I still feel like I’m terrible at the game. Nonetheless, through my personal efforts, I experienced what it means to “achieve” different degrees of success for the first time. I can’t get enough of it!

- When did you start drawing manga?
2nd year of high school (T/N: That’s equivalent to junior year).
But if you count just single illustrations, I already started when I was in daycare. But I remember that it wasn’t until 2nd year of high school when I actually organized drafts and began to create manga.

- How much do you sleep on average?
About 8 hours.
When I first started serialization, I had a little less sleep. But lately if I don’t get enough sleep I can’t do anything else.

- Recent interests?
Watching foreign drama series.
I’m currently anticipating the 7th season of Game of Thrones, which will start in July. Other than that, I’m hesitating on whether or not I should watch House of Cards (T/N: YES YOU SHOULD). When I watch something exciting, the amount of energy I use up is similar to if I read all of One Piece in just a week. Hence, I’m actually becoming a little scared about doing this (T/N: Committing to another show) [Laughs].

- If you lived within the Walls?
I would be a farmer.
Because I want to avoid all responsibilities [Laughs], so I want to live on the border and just plant crops. Though I can imagine that this kind of lifestyle has its own hardships, I would never be a soldier.

- What’s the best thing about being a mangaka?
Everything.
If I didn’t become a mangaka, I feel like I would’ve descended into poor health - to the extent where I couldn’t even go to the convenience store. I am totally serious [Laughs].

- Favorite movie as of late?
It Follows.
It was probably my first time watching such a scary film. Of course, the storyline is exciting, but on top of that, the actual elements of horror were fantastic. Because this movie describes something that happens at your own household, I felt jumpy and scared in my apartment for two weeks after I watched it.

- If you weren’t drawing manga?
I would become an average member of society.
But if possible, I would probably become a craftsman. Before when I worked at an internet cafe, no matter how dirty the cubicles became, I always bet my entire life on making it spotless again. It was almost like Nietzsche’s “Sublimation” psychology [Laughs]. Thinking back, I guess that could just be part of an artisan’s personality, too.

- What do you do when you experience writer’s block?
I dive into other creative works.
Basically other films, drama series, and manga - and I search for elements I enjoy. But because this world is filled with so many incredible works that I’ll never fully experience - even if I spend my entire life trying - as long as I commit to the ones I enjoy the most, my life can progress with inspiration. Sometimes, I almost feel like there is no actual need for me to draw manga [Laughs].

- The best thing about your hometown (Oita prefecture)?
Delicious plum wine.
When I think of what’s most appealing about my hometown, plum wine immediately comes to mind. My family back home are plum farmers, so even though I sound like I’m self-promoting my relatives’ business, please do give our Yumehibiki plum wine a taste! [Laughs]

- Your first impression of Tokyo?
Surprisingly warm/familiar.
At the railroad crossing of Egota, my head somehow got knocked by the crossing gate there, and I thought, “So Tokyo isn’t just all about tall buildings…” My memory contains moments of calm like this [Laughs].

Aah man,i had a weird dream this morning.I dreamt about

Spoiler: manga spoilers

how this "Warhammer Titan" start to attack Paradis and he looked like he had really,really hard armor like Reiner's "armored" Titan,but just 4-5 times stronger and instead of fists he had really strong hammers and looked like little shorter than Reiner's "armored Titan"but he looked "fatter and heavier",and when he runs he crushes the ground (because of his heaviness),and the funny part is that i had part in that dream too,i've been on Paradis together with Reiner i was on his back and we tried like to stop "warhammer titan",i was telling to Reiner where to move what to do etc....and we were standing near the walls and the "warhammer titan"was running towards the walls and Reiner jumped together with me on his back to the side to dodge "WH Titan's" punch,and the way how "WH Titan" broke through the walls was ridiculous,he broke through the walls as if they were made of the "cheap glass",and last thing i remember was that Reiner was injured,i think like his hand were severed.And that's all i can remember of it,but the thing is this dream was so random dream and 1st time do have a dream about SnK lol,and i haven't read the last chapter yet and in my mind i hadn't thought of SnK in the last few days at all,(usually when i think about something so often,it comes to my dreams).And if they reveal in some of the next chapters "WH Titan's" form and if it comes to if he looks like the way i described him,my mind would be blown into thousand's of pieces lol ,anyway this dream was so funny and interesting in the same time to me,i just needed to write about it here .

Which part are you at?

 

[Farfalla]

Still on Chapter 56^^" So quite behind, I'm afraid.

 

[Arjuna]

No need to hurry.SNK is a manga where you should approach slowly to understand it well.Continue like reading 2 chapters a day and you will soon reach the latest chapter.

 

[Farfalla]

Agreed xD It does require some attention and in depth thinking.
2 chaps a day seems too lil, tho^^' this part of the story got me engaged so it's been easy to read it faster (same way as I've devoured some ASOIAF parts). I guess the feeling that I'm finally seeing new stuff (post-anime) and am curious about it helps xD Damn hype @.@
