  1. This one's easy... Pingu in the City Season 2
  2. Oh, definitely. Episode 1 was mostly left untouched but the other two episodes are very crammed. The manga has a lot of mind games and internal thoughts, kind of like Death Note. The anime completely skips over this aspect of the story and has everyone talk about their plans out loud, or they simply skip over it entirely and hope that anime-only folks will catch on. This is most notable in episode 3. Krone seems to be portrayed as some kind of crazy lunatic (talking to a doll, really now?) whereas in the manga she is very serious and constantly scheming things in her head. Same goes for Mom and the main characters. I binge-read the manga in several days after finishing episode 1 of the anime, as I really enjoyed the premise. While the anime has some good moments, I would definitely recommend anyone who is interested in the show to read the manga first.
  3. Indeed it did, but unfortunately the quality is still very poor. Nowhere near 1080p sharpness. If I remember correctly, some of the earlier episodes feature dot crawl just like the DVD releases. So it's most likely just a simple upscale and not a genuine (digital) remaster of sorts. There was no home media release for it either.
  4. Can't speak for all of Crunchyroll, but for this particular anime it's a Bang Zoom! dub with an LA voice cast.
  5. Mortal Engines. I kept my expectations low and it turned out to be a mediocre movie, as expected. Sadly there's not much else that interested me these last few months.
  6. Fantastic trailer honestly. It gives away virtually nothing, unlike most trailers these days where you can almost guess what the entire plot is going to be. Also interesting how they spend the first 55 seconds on Tony. Poster is awesome too. As the title reveal at the end of the trailer would suggest, the logo is actually being rebuild, rather than disintegrating (hinting at the un-doing of the snap).
  7. Shit hits the fan in AoT chapter 112 😭

      By the end I was like "Ah, so this is how you're gonna go out....🤔"

  8. Manga is entering its last arc pretty soon (or maybe it already has), and arcs can last up to 20 chapters sometimes. So either 2019 or 2020 yeah.
  9. Season 3 covers chapters 51-90 in total, with the second half of S3 covering chapter 70-90 (roughly). The manga is currently at chapter 110, so assuming 20 chapters = 1 cour, the manga is give or take 12 episodes ahead. Though by the time S3 part 2 ends (in 8 months or so, thus 8 chapters), it’ll be closer to 16-18 episodes ahead. I was in the same boat as you, and honestly I suggest you just read it. No need to worry about spoilers anymore, plus you get to re-experience the story in its animated form regardless. Everything will still feel fairly new. You never know how chapters will be adapted, what the voice acting or music will be like, the animations... etc. It’s an entirely different experience.
  10. Happy birthday my dear Moodkiller ❤️

      @ThePJzer, @Baal, @Koby, @LelouchVBritannia and @monsieurcooler - I know it's not really appreciated to tag everyone when you may get a notification for this reply any ways, but I felt it only right to address each of you personally. Thank you very very much for wishes! Can't tell you how much I appreciate them. Officially, more people wished me "Happy Birthday" on here than in IRL (this is including work and RL people that saw me that day).

      Hope you all take care o/

  13. The decision to rearrange events and improve overall pacing (based on the general negative public opinion of this arc in the manga) is completely unrelated to previous or future cours and seasons. You're grasping at straws here. As I told you months ago, the very creator of this 'original content' made and/or approved the changes himself. Judging by the fact that you somehow stopped at chapter 90 (right after RTS, the most universally acclaimed arc of the entire manga so far), I have a feeling you never cared much about AoT in the first place. It's an adaptation. Not a direct copy. Unimportant things are going to get cut. And perhaps some of the more 'important things' were cut for specific reasons, such as revealing them at a later date. There's been plenty of instances where we got to see events from future manga chapters that the anime ''shouldn't'' even have shown yet. These changes are made for a reason. Besides, Isayama considers the anime to be the final version of the story anyways, so what you feel is 'disrespect' is meaningless in the end. This has to be a bad joke.
  14. How did you even manage to come to such a conclusion?
  15. Saw the new Jurassic World movie. Couldn't help but facepalm at least once every five minutes. Good grief.
  16. Found a great comment on Reddit that I'm gonna post here because I'm getting tired of people saying ''but the manga is different reeeeeeeeeee''. Credit to /u/jblakk. Post contains minor references to the manga.

      @(AC) Thanks a lot bro.

       

      @Nabull Thank You, it hurts but it's also delicious.

  20. I agree. While S3 starts right where S2 left off, I can imagine all of the characters are exhausted, especially Eren (having suffered a mental breakdown) and Mikasa (her ribs being crushed by a titan). So while virtually no time has passed, the ‘older’ character designs do fit their current mental/physical state a lot better. Edit: got a new piece of unrelated info for you all. Looks like the ending theme for the first cour is called Requiem der Morgenröte, by Linked Horizon.
  21. No, but all the promotional material and interviews seem to indicate it will cover two arcs. Do you really expect it’s gonna take something like 22-25 eps to cover one single arc? No freaking way, especially not with the current arc. As I said: season 3 is gonna be two arcs. Unless some kind of miracle happens and it’s gonna be 3 arcs, but I highly doubt it. Next arc is action-heavy which generally allows for faster pacing, so first cour might be 13 eps and second cour 12 eps. You get the idea. Last season was one cour and covered one single arc as well, and they actually had to add some filler to make it 12 eps (most notably ep02 and a lot of Ymir/Christa backstory), as stated by one of the staff members in an interview. Can’t remember if it was Isayama or the director who said it... Believe what you want, but with only ep01 released so far, obviously it’s best to wait and see before complaining about certain pages that were skipped (for now, maybe). On-topic: I liked ep01 a lot. Character designs were slightly altered to look closer to the manga. Kenny’s introduction was pretty solid.
