Shingeki no Kyojin

What did you think of how the anime handled the reveal and the scene in general?

Did S2 get rid of those thick meme lines?

Why did they decide to go full CG for the colossal titan? It looked so fucking weird.

More CGI for God of CGI

Endgame right here, brothers

It was alright but mainly helped by the music.

dude the thick lines are like 50% of the budget, the other half being sparkly eyes

Other than the CG I thought it was great. Better than the manga, even. For some reason I always imagined that short fight with Mikasa as lasting a bit longer but the rapid pace on it was perfect. And of course god bless Hiroyuki Sawano.

Reiner and Ymir are lovers. Remember this.

Because in this fight the titan moves a lot more, opposed to being stationary in season 1.

It would be a bitch animate at the same level of quality as everything else so they cut back.
Which i don't mind because the animation is consistently miles ahead of every other tv anime.

God Ymir is fucking hot when she's acting like a smug bitch .

They literally did it perfectly.
-No music.
-The fucking voice acting, especially how rieners voice completely changes, super straight forward, proper and calm.
-The facial expressions, with all that perfectly done shading(kabeneri helped quite a bit)
-All the camera shots, showing their faces in the puddles and shit, the build up.

I especially loved how you could hear how nervous eren was when he remember he had to pretend like he didn't know so they could lead them under ground, the whole thing was great.

I see. That's it. I've been here too long for my own good. It's been three long years... surrounded by idiots. We were just kids... we didn't know anything. If only I never knew that there were peopole like this. I... wouldn't have become... such a half assed piece of shit! It's too late now... I don't know what's right anymore, but the only choice left for me now is to face the consequences of my actions, and as a warrior, fulfill my duty to the bitter end!

I'm mad they didn't show the sword going into reiner's arm because he blocked mikasa's throat shot. They just skywalkered him instead.

Literally the shittiest reveal of the decade. It's like the writer forgot how to do his job.
"We're the titans that indirectly caused 260k people to die and your family, alongside that making like generally just harder for everyone else. But we cool right?"

It's going to be even more jarring when it switches between CG and non CG shots.

It was almost perfect. The flashback with Hange was placed a little awkwardly, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was in the manga, so I can't really blame them.

Even so, it's easily the best scene in S2 so far.

why is hanji so pretty bros

Reiner pls.

They made anime Hanji much hotter for some reason.

Levi pls leave

I love the pure horror in Reiner's face. You can really see that he actually thought deep in his heart that Eren would just go with them, following by a crushing realization that it wouldn't make any sense. Honestly SnK gets a lot of shit on Sup Forums and it has its ups and downs but this reveal is one ol the best moments i've ever seen in a manga.

"It's just a prank bro. See, there's the camera."

This. It's not a perfect manga by any means but at its best it's truly top tier material.

Reminder

I CAN'T STOP CUMMING

What chapter is this? i don't remember this

Lovers of the same girl, you mean

ch 50

Reiner was rattled by seeing the titan (Ymir) who he thought had eaten his friend. Also from the bitten arm, collapsing tower, and last minute rescue I guess.

Yes, they fired the guy who did that from the director's throne.

How is this the same girl? I-is that the power of yandere?

They shouldn't have zoomed in on the first bit, and the censoring meant you didn't see just how deadly Mikasa's attacks were. But the transformation was great so I won't complain. The CG CT and hiding them in smoke was disappointing, but hopefully the CT body drop will be in 2D next week.

Reiner is so handsome.

Calm down, Hisu

That fugly lipstick though

...

It's probably the same model they used in the game too, fucking hacks.

>Remember THIS guy from the 90s?
>Well, this is him now

Be a little fair. In the original, Colossal only was onscreen a total of what, 2 minutes? He's got to have significantly more screentime now so you've gotta pull the budget somehow.

Still sad yeah, but understandable.

>Thick meme lines

Have an example of what you're talking about?

i
And that was in the first episode as well where studios dump money. That being said I hope they sling some shekels the next episode's way for the fight episode.

>I hope they sling some shekels the next episode's way for the fight episode.

the cg pic in is from next ep's preview

They made Reiner noticeably crazier than he was in the manga. But if I remember correctly in the manga he has a reaction to the monkey titan that caused him to act this way the anime didn't touch up on.

It was exactly what I wanted, they played it completely deadpan.

This annoyed me
How do they have less money than they did for season 1 after how popular it was

Better than keeping it 3D all the time imo, he looks great in that shot.

You are dumb
There was much more going on than that
Too subtle 4 u though

From what i recall their reactions are more subdued in the anime. In the manga their reaction to the Monkey Titan could be confused with awe
on the first look but closer to adulation when you see it again knowing he's their leader/ally. I saw no such blatant expressions in the anime episode.

Season one had problems because they basically shoved the animators into sweatshop conditions to get better quality than they paid for. Season two presumably required actually giving them a wage more in line with the massive work hours they were gonna force upon the studio employees.

Why does cg look so bad, even in stills
I really cant figure out why

It's usually low poly and with a shitty skin slapped on it. It also looks jarring at less than 30 fps

You realize they killed her, right? There's no way they let someone of her lineage keep her powers.

It's just about as dumb in the manga. Not only content but the reveal itself, where Reiner says who they are, happens in the background of a panel about something else.

Everything I hoped for in the scene, the shot from afar was perfectly executed and made the whole situation as surreal as it was in the manga.

I think its to do with focal length of the virtual camera inside the 3D animation program
Here's a picture of a real world example of how it can make things look different. It will have a different length to how things usually look in anime

Also to do with other virtual camera settings like how close to orthographic it is.

There's nothing wrong with the model or the textures, the virtual camera is just displaying it in a non anime way

me too

>How is this the same girl? I-is that the power of yandere?
she's a murderhobo. a japanese version of a chinese murderhobo often found in a xanxia novel.

yandere is the wrong word to describe misaka. MURDERHOBO.

remember it.

here's your (you), faggot

eren scene was kino

I hope they add more flashbacks for the mikasa ch50 scene as well

Name 5 better reveal scenes.

SOON!

>Casual reveal. "Yeah, we're those two assholes."
>Eren tries to not believe it, since he trusted them
>Surprise handjob from Armored Reiner
>That incredible feeling of betrayal

It was good. CG Bert is fine since Bert is shit anyway, but I'm glad they added music to make it feel like an outright betrayal. That sold the scene pretty well. The manga did it better though, since you can read it and have to take a double-take; the fuck did he just say? The shock value in the manga was definitely more intense, because it literally comes out of nowhere without any buildup. It's dropped on Eren and the readers like a ton of bricks, and it was fucking great.

The music, my god the fucking music. I can't wait for the soundtrack release.

As an anime-only fag (who alraedy knew they were titans) this fucking made my night.

The way he just nonchalantly says it to Eren with the camera zoomed out just had me rolling, like "are you fucking serious right now?". Then when Reiner went batshit crazy and Bert was acting like a total spaz about it, it had me on the edge of my seat.

It was absolutely brilliant.

The use of CG has nothing to do with money. I don't know where this meme that CG is somehow cheaper comes from, but it's certainly not.

EM SOON.

I hope the track "Eren the Coordinate" is appropriately epic.

Why would they be doing it if its not cheaper?

>The flashback with Hange was placed a little awkwardly, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was in the manga, so I can't really blame them.

That was necessary to explain Eren and Mikasa's reactions. They were shocked but not completely surprised.

I really hope that they do this scene justice. With the right music, it could be really well done.

that might be part of it
but the main reason is that details are the same no matter how far you are from the model
basically, they aren't going to change the model to be less detailed for zoomed out shots
and this leads to it being overly-detailed compared to its surroundings and it makes it stand out in a bad way

>they revealed they are titans accidentally by talking about it in public
>twice

Idk when i read the sub in the anime i was like "umm excuse me? What did he just say?" Even tho i knew the twist, i didnt expect him to just casually say that shit lol. Shocked me desu

When was the first time?

>accidentally

...

>Eren tries to not believe it, since he trusted them
He was stalling to get them underground.

They're retards. Galliard should have been the one to go in Reinmong's place

Social pressure. You're a sheep and a tool

>t. korean cgi modeler

I was under the impression that Galliard was too young at the time. Marcel was probably meant to go with them, but Ymir ate him on the way.

Everyone is prettier in the anime

>Threadly reminder that Zeke knows the curse to the curse of Ymir

I want to cum inside the queen.

I honestly don't remember. Can you give me the gist in spoilers?

I feel like he knows more than he lets on. It could have something to do with the "secret" he mentioned to Falco.

He did trust them though. You saw his flashback, right? Reiner was basically a big brother to everyone, like he said at one point. Everything Reiner did was trustworthy and respectable, excluding the parts Armin brought up. Eren had enough concern with Annie, and despite everything, he tried to trust her to the very end. Thanks to this, as well as his earlier stunts, we've learned Eren isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, so it's not out of the question for him to be innocently hoping that the claims were just coincidence. Unlike Annie, he was constantly talking to and training with Reiner and Bert.

If someone trustworthy said a close friend you've known for a long time was secretly a terrorist and had enough proof to warrant caution, how would you react?

Marco overhears them talking about turning into the titans and tries to play it of as a joke so they won't fucking murder him but they do it anyway

Galliard and Marcel are implied to have been of stronger character even back when they were kids

This made me feel sad for Eren desu.

>those tears and flashbacks
;___;

iirc marco overheard them saying they were titans

What episode? I want to watch it now.

He's royal blood. He probably and most likely has access to more memories than other shifters

Yes, but maybe that's why they were saving them. As back up if Reiner and Bert fucked up, or they could send them in as a second wave, maybe.

>didn't cry for Annie
ER > EA

Is that why he needs Eren?

It's later in the manga, in the anime so far we just know that Annie probably killed Marco

Not animated its in the manga

He needs Eren because of the coordinate, which Eren has. Their whole mission is getting Eren back because Eren has the Original Titan's powers. They also might want the Attack Titan, as well as Grisha's memories to find out what happened.

Alright, thanks my dudes.
