| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, the author is new at this so the artwork is not as optimal as it can be. However, comparing with the first few chapters of Claymore or Berserk, we all know that the artwork will improve over time as the author matures and gain more experience. Other than that, it has a good premise. I can see that it has potential. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| yeah the drawings are flawed but I like the style, as far as the story goes it seems a bit mainstream, but it's a bit soon to say |
| already addicted to this manga :o and imo the art is not that bad i have seen much worse then this for the first couple of chapter. |
 |
| Really liked the manga, the story looks very promising |
| I can say that i am already impressed with the first volume! The story is already shocking and twisty and I love the concept of constant fear these peoples are living in. And of course, the mythology surrounding the giants is also pretty interesting. So yea, like everyone already said this manga has great potential. |
| Actually it seems the author isn't good in drawing kids... because the rest is really good... I really liked this! I was imagining how terrifying would be to see a 50+m tall dude looking at me, ready to eat me... and I can't do anything about it... (I love stories of humans getting wiped out of the world by some terrifying creature... or by themselves) |
| I really like the art so far.And the rest is quite good too. |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| To be honest I dun think the art is that bad as many say... It might not be the best but it's certainly an interesting way to draw such kind of world... Feels like they're in an Alternate Timeline of Middle Age... Due to those huge walls and the mention of Armies and different Legions and the King.... But of course it could be set someday in the future... But I totally agree with Eren... Sucks big time they can stroll outside happily just because the damn Giants... or well Titans are outside and can devour you in just one bite... also sucks to be caged... not free to go anywhere... So there's this Eren boy, the male lead, and Mikasa who looks like it's his sister, Armin their friend, and then their parents... and those Huge freaks... and uber Huge one too... they're simply disgusting... I also wonder where do they come from... I'd gladly join the Scouting Legion too... Looks like Mikasa is a scary one... and reliable too... Signs, Green |

| I loved it! Seems promising, a pity there are only 30 something chapters out though. High expectations. Can't wait to read more! |
 |
| A different story... thats nice... but art need improvement... |
| ... |
| Eat mankind! Oh, that quote was catchy. Mixed feelings on the first chapter but nice cliffhanger there for a dramatic ending. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a titan and end of humanity. |
 |
| Oh fuck. Gets serious already. |
 |
| Yeah, the kids look kinda weird. The intro looks really nostalgic, like in those old RPGs. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Shingeki no Kyojin, chapter 1. What can I say? Where do I start? I suppose I should start at the beginning. It kicks off beautifully, conflict and terror, the introduction of both the enemy and history of the world, with a nice little quote for extra impact. The introduction was well executed. Next is the look, my god, the look. I have read a few manga's, but all have something in common. They all have relatively crappy artwork at the beginning and require time to come into their own. Shingeki no Kyojin requires no such time, however it is going to get better, for such is the nature of the artist. In all, I see Shingeki no Kyojin as an excellent read and look forward to what happens next. |
 |
| Yeah the art is not so bad I was expecting more after watching the anime, but I like how the drawing is simple and still not shitty I specially like this part http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9011/01-001.0/compressed/k1.9017e.jpg |
| Hrmm, well it starts off okay I suppose, everyone was making such a fuss over the anime so I guess I went in thinking this would be a great action/seinen ... It might still be but perhaps I shouldn't get my hopes up since that might ruin it a bit ... Anyways, looks like that Titan is about to tear the town a new one. |
 |
| I watched the anime first so this is a pretty big downgrade. Weak drawings and not paneled very well. Let's hope it gets better from hear :P 6/10 |
WyattEarp said: I watched the anime first so this is a pretty big downgrade. Weak drawings and not paneled very well. Let's hope it gets better from hear :P 6/10 Don't forget the absence of OST and fine animation. The start of SNK isn't that great TBH. Read on from the start all you want, but if you finished the anime, maybe starting from chapter 33 will better... |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
blindassassin said: I'm not sure if I will continue beyond Volume 1 or 2. I started reading this out of curiosity (and I'm planning on watching the anime), but the artwork is not at a level I expect from a professional. The illustrations look like something an amateur could conjure up. The concept is somewhat novel, but not enough to keep my attention. The writer/artist should've been paired up with another artist to maximize its potential. Yes, I'm harsh. Reality can be harsh. lol Isayama isnt a professional. Hes just a young 20-something-year-old whose friends pushed him into submitting his artwork and idea for a monthly manga. |
 |
| I honestly don't mind the art. Snk is revered for its story, and it's brilliant at that, even from the very beginning. |
| I don't mind the art for now. Mixed feelings after seeing the Anime first. |

| Reading this after watching the anime. The art is a little iffy, but I can get used to it. I checked volume 16 for a bit to see whether or not the art improves and damn, it seems like as if I'm looking at a different series. The art in that volume as detailed and deep. 4/5 |
 |
| saw the anime felt like reading it too.... People really do avoid facing reality |
 |
| This first chapter was very interesting... a future when the humanity lives inside a big wall, and out live a giants, strange giant... 100 years without problems, and this chapter, appears a super-mega-big Titan!!!! O__O They can begin to ...RUN!!! xO |
| Daaamn the chapter was really long compared to so many other manga out there. I actually love the artstyle in this as well, it really is similar to the anime but very different as well. I love the way the titans are drawn too, and the shading used makes them look so much more ominous. Also lmfao, Armin literally jinxed it. Titan appeared because of what he said 100% xD |
 |
| It's 2020 now and this went down as one of the best mangas ever |

| I already caught with the anime, so I decided to jump to the manga. Nice to see the starting again, specially with some knowledge of what will happen. Regarding the art, it's not the best one, but still enjoyable. Althouht I think that the manga art have a better feeling of despair than the anime. |

Not that the art is really bad now, but a better art would be nice. |
| So, bunch of stuff Chapter:2U2000years from now Eren cries and for some reason, the number 845 appears. "See u later Eren" "Mikasa, did your hair get longer?"  Look at little Eren Jr. Gonna cry? Dad just gives a promise and walks the fuck out of there. Maybe Eren is suddenly paranoid about Titans after crying the fuck out. And we see his sister Mikasa bailing the fuck out of him and beating him up. I hope Eren doesn't become a siscon as is typical of manga. Armin just had to say it. "There is no guarantee the wall won't be breached right now" Wall gets breached immediately. You happy Armin? And well, I heavily doubt the ability of humans to beat Titans, especially since they gave a badass boast of showing what they can do and then get killed instantly. RIP Braun. You will be missed. Boring first chapter. Partly because the suspense was given out at the very beginning. The art is kinda good though. Lot of spiderman memes incoming |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| I have yet another comment about the art, not too bad and not good either. excited to see mangaka's progress throughout the years. |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| I only own the first twenty volumes of this manga but never got really into it. Today I want to start it over and buy the remaining volumes to complete the series, so let’s get into it! |
| It's 2021 and Aot without a doubt is one of the most popular series out there today.....I've already seen most of the anime....So before the final season's out I figured why not read the manga and get a recap of the series all over again.... The artwork in this manga is good....So this is just the beginning...I'm really looking forward to the coming chapters :D |
| I agree with Eren. because I hope joining the survey corps. I do not prefer to conservetive. I also think that "people who are satisfied living like caged birds are the real fools" even if people who go out are in trouble with death. I admire Eren's bravery. It's incredible that Mikasa is the strongest person in three main characters lol. she is female but soldier. I suppose she will become a great soldier |
