I can actually understand why people get excited about killing main characters. Sometimes the author feels he needs to show his fans that he can do whatever he wants with his story and really can kill anyone, that his fans won't get the feeling that main characters are safe. He wants HIS fans to stay in distres.
I do agree that there is some kind of cleverness in a move like this one, but the author must do it properly. He must give the character a respectful death, which includes a real touching part with grace and sadness.That's what makes the death of this character meaningful and keeps the story thrilling and interesting. You cannot just kill them one by one whenever you want, because the best you can get from this way is just add to the characters death the death of the interest in you story plus the death of the appreciation from your fans.


You completely defined it. People often say how they much like Game of Thrones because anyone can die anytime. I compare deaths in Game of Thrones to deaths in my favorite animes and GoT seems like shit. GoT just kills characters without proper respect and most of dead characters don't even leave an influence in the living.
In animes and mangas, I have seen deaths where watching the rest of the show felt painful. I have seen deaths which made me shout. I have seen sacrifices which brought me to tears. But not in GoT.


Its exactly why GoT doing it right, its because there are no special people, at least Martin try not to make anyone super special. People can die easily and that is what GoT shows. Here...goddamit they cant even kill guys that are murderers when they got them, they need to talk or whatever.

I am seriously shocked!!! Did not expect this to happen! Poor Armin. T_____T You are indeed a hero. RIP

I am really upset! The storyline gets into a direction that I don't like but somehow I feared it might become like this. @.@ Cannot find the right words to express my complex feelings about this chapter...

A bunch of characters with no screen time. Not too impressive. You can add Mike, Kenny, and Rod to that list of characters that nobody really cares about.
They might have no screen time at all but you can't deny the fact that they were impactful on the story. Can't say anything about Thomas since I probably would agree that no one cares about him. But Eren's mom, Hannes, Marco, Grisha, Frieda, Kenny all had a huge impact on the story. Like how Marco's death made Jean change, or how Kenny didn't let Levi die in that shithole.

I agree, but that is more or less just saying that they were plot devices who served their purpose through death.
But mostly I agree with you, I don't get it why people are impressed when writers kill their main characters off.

It's so dark and mature though. Game of Thrones kills off beloved characters with no mercy. Beware though, watching it may age you 50 years with all its maturity.

But the reality is, everyone have a meaning and everyone is special in their own way. No matter how ordinary a character is, there will be fans of them. That is enough to show they are special. Just removing that character from the cast without proper story, seems like author's betrayal to me.

Armin is not a Titan Shifter (obviously) otherwise, his burns would heal in a matter of hours. He's a normal human and normal humans can't possibly survive those burns much less the 50 meters fall and impact on to that rooftop.

I feel like Erwin might be alive. His 'death' would be one of the most anti-climatic deaths of an important character. He probably will die soon tho. I feel like if anything, either Erwin or Armin has to stay alive, maybe Armin (possibly by the serum?). Who else would take command? Unless that survivor recruit could, but who knows. Curious to see what he can do, especially after all that he's been through, and all that he's learned from Erwin within that short time span.

A great action scene with brilliant strategy. Love it.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

This 2nd suicidal strategy seemed to come out of nowhere. o_o
Unexpected from this character, but someone had to die among all those "intelligent type" characters, I suppose.

3/5 Would give 2 but I will blame myself for being surprised to see Armin act like that.

Now, who will be the happy chosen one?

This is why I never want to be smart, coz u know... smart people ends up dead in SnK universe.
So, being normal makes you happy?
Does being normal guarantee happiness?

Shame about Armin.
Vol 18-20 has been very good.
Will be great to see it being animated. (some of you think there's enough for a third season already, there isn't. I'll bet Armin's death will be the end of season 2)

:'( I don't want to think Armin is dead!! I want Eren and Armin to see the ocean together. x( What a hopeless feeling... I don't want Sasha to be dead either! I hope Levi is doing okay too. And I can't imagine this series without Erwin!! X(

omg

Emotionally, volume 20 was just too much...

Man, that last page was so depressing... I'll probably think about this for the rest of the day.

Erwin's dream was really close to coming true, so I could let it pass, but it's really sad that Armin won't see the ocean with his own eyes.

I'm conflicted now, I don't know what to feel. I'm sad about Armin, but happy about Hange being alive.

And Bertolt and Reiner were finally defeated. The Survey Corps had many losses, but at least they were victorious.
