Attack on Titan - The Anime
Yaaaabai! Finished this in two days! >_< AWESOMENESS!!! Even much better than GANTZ!!!@_@
Although I really love GANTZ manga, there were three elements that got me 'WTF??' : 1. Abnormal sex scenes 2. Another alien genre?? 3. Towards 1/3 end of the manga, the story got messed up.
Attack on Titan is a very well-created universe. And not only the action scenes drove me to the edge of my seat and got me screaming, LOL, but I'm surprised that the storyline is very well-writen on par with professional novel author's writing skills. It's a fantasy story but things makes sense. I love how there are surprises / unexpected things happening in every few episodes if not every episode. Mysteries are revealed one after another. Really awesome.
And what makes it different, it sets in medieval, ancient Europe. Thus, no boring things such as robots, cyborg, hi-tech devices and all those craps haha.
I tried to read the manga... but nah, it doesn't have the same impact as the anime XD Attack on Titan really have to be enjoyed with sound effects and epic music! XD
I love the friendship and bond between the three childhood friends, Eren - Mikasa - Armin. Their unbelievable trust and devotion to each other just moved me into tears T_T I really, really love their team work! And for once, I do not ship any couple in a story! XD I dunno... to me, Eren-Mikasa are really siblings, I can't see them developing romantic feelings for each other.
But actually my most favorite trio would be Erwin - Levi - Hanji, the senior members of the Survey Corps / Scouting Legion! I find their team work truly kakkoiiii...... they have a special bond and trust to each other as well.
My favorite character is either Armin or Erwin haha.... I dunno why... in this universe, characters who can make difficult decisions interests me. Ahhh.... but maybe it's Hanji kanaaa... she's such an adorable psycho haha! I dunno I can't pick one.
And if I really have to pick two characters I'd like to ship, then maybe it's Jean x Sasha, haha, they're both adorkable anyway lol.
My favorite battle was the 57th expedition of the Survey Corps.... wuaaaa the long-range scouting formation was sooooo cool!!! The manga author is really smart to be able to come up with the idea!
One of my fav scenes was the part when the Garrison soldiers (?) was suspecting Eren as a traitor and both Mikasa and Armin were defending him with all their might. Then Eren told Armin that the 2nd option is that he'd leave it to Armin's decision whether or not he has confidence that he can convince the whole army that Eren is not a threat to humanity. Eren and Mikasa's eyes shows so much faith in Armin. Hwaaaaa...... it was such a moving, moving scene and so memorable for me!
Currently watching the OVA episodes. So far, I loved the first OVA cause it focuses on the older trio....waiiiii~! Two more OVA. And can't wait for the upcoming OVA-s!
Yabai... rather than the live-action now I'm looking forward more to the 2nd season of the anime in 2016! XD
I have doubts in the live-action now. Cos the anime would be very hard to beat.
I think the only way to beat the anime is to have Hollywood work together with the manga author to make the live-action XD
I'm worried that Japan don't have enough budget to make the live-action worth. Also, the director is the same director as Tsuyoshi's Nihon Chinbotsu. I don't remember anything memorable from that movie.
They should've stick to Nakashima Tetsuya as the director T_T
Really too bad.
