Why being so pessimistic ? Have low expectations and get impressed by how far the series exceeded them :)

I read some of the manga, and wasn't too interested, but hopefully the anime changes my mind o_o


Why does your list say that you've only read 3 chapters... 3 chapters of a Seinen Manga and you're judging it right away as not too interesting. Great. That's just fine and dandy.

and Zetman guy. Stop being negative. If they screw it up like Zetman or Gantz then just read the manga. Manga saves us all as the main source material and from terrible filler and bad Anime endings...unless of course the manga eventually ends up boring. Then we're screwed. :D.

This anime isn't even out yet and people think they know it's going to be bad. Next Guilty Crown, next SAO. Like come on people. At least wait until the first episode airs to make assumptions. The preview looked amazing so we'll see. I think it's going to be a fine anime.

I'm extremely excited for it, so I'm going to leave it at that.

With people favouriting, recommending, reviewing and now rating as well as ranting about this series even before it aired it is safe to say that a large part of the fanbase will consist of idiots no matter how it turns out.

If they end up following the source material then yes its probably gonna be about 12 episodes, BUT it doesnt mean that it will end up like deadman wonderland or zetman that stopped following the manga. As far as i am concerned they might do something similar like BTOOOM or kuroko no basket and have a cliff hanger ending and stop not far from where the manga is now

That would be pretty bad because those two also deserved the hate (the anime, no idea about the manga).

But I'm optimistic and saying this will be 25 episodes and great until it screws us with an original ending.
I probably regret this post by now.

If they animate about two chapters of content per episode, it could very well be 25 episodes.

Why wouldn't it be 24 episodes? Production I.G. is pretty rich, plus they are trying to build hype for the new branch, they don't want to half ass it. Otherwise they wouldn't have released a pv so early. Also, the last anime the director made was Guilty Crown which, despite being terrible, sold a ton; Production I.G. trusts him.


a lot of people liked guilty crown(i havent seen it so i dont know), but you have to remember that he also directed Death Note and Highschool of the Dead

When I saw Guilty Crown in his works list my stomach dropped, that had the most questionable directing I've ever seen from any high budget TV show/movie, I mean it may not have been entirely his fault, the show would have been a lot better if it had a better main character and Inori actually did something. But he's got HOTD and Death Note backing him up as well as a few other things, so he's probably a lot better with Manga adaptations than original works.

And it's Production IG, I'd expected it to be 22 would be the minimum to expect from them with an anime like this.

They still can made a crappy original ending, use retard fillers, finish the anime in middle of one arc, etc.

I really hope the OP is proved wrong by the time this anime ends. I just finished watching the first episode (there's no words to describe how amazing it is) and I'm rooting for it.

The first episode looked nice.

I'm not convinced yet.

If the characters develop nicely, this'll be a very pleasant show to watch. They got the setting and the budget, now it's all character writing and not messing up the plot.

IMO No. It has good plot, character development and explains everything about Titans that can be said about them thus far in Manga; however, it all depends on Production I.G + Wits or w/e does it. I expect it to be good because Production I.G is usually really good at doing so.

Also lol @ Rank 23rd on MAL.

Hmm, it's because the source is definitely worthy of that rating and seeing how faithful the first episode was [you could even say it's better than the source material] people [me included] are assuming the anime will be of the same quality / better.

There are a few other series to, but I can't think of any, off the top of my head. What are your thoughts, the PV looks good, hope it will be good, I really do.

Also it will probably be 12 episodes, not enough manga to adapt, and by the animation, they probably won't be able to afford 24 episodes.


It was announced that this will be a 2 cour

The studios did hype up the trailers to the extent that many would have been easily disappoint with the anime if it didn`t delivers on its first episode but most reviewers were blown away by the expectation meaning it delivers more than we expected. It's rare to accomplish these nowadays with anime as this requires lots of component to accomplish the feat.

I believe the "best" has yet to come.

I think so far its good, but if its going to be a 12-13 episodes.... the chance of it going to the crappers is ultra high. As trends always shows 12-13 episodes are bad unless if its a comedy skit with no Main story to follow. Not discriminating 12-13 eps shows since i know some 22-25 episode series that are bad too caused by "sore loser" type main characters or bad ending etc.

But so far its good in all categories and im really wondering where the f%£$% hell that big ass 55 metre titan came from and what in the world caused that lightning>Explosion>50 metre Titan

What SummerYoung said and it isn't a trend for 12-13 episode anime to be bad, there are actually good ones that don't need comedy skit and have a main plot.

I really wish people would stop pretending to be French with this '2-cour' nonsense. It's either A) two half-seasons, like Breaking Bad/The Walkding Dead/etc, or B) a full run--a full run appearing to be the answers since MAL is running with a 20+ ep count.

Guilty Crown had no source material and combined a wimpy male + Code Geass + anime clusterfuck to bad effect. SAO panders to the lowest common denominator with its not-so-hidden harem antics + superhero-emo lead; also lacking focus to the extent it became an entirely different series halfway through. Shingeki's grimdark medieval fantasy best compared to the likes of Berserk, Claymore & Gantz. NOTE THE DIFFERENCE!

I'm excited but the only thing bothering me is the main character. He's kind of annoying. I havent read the manga but does he stay like this: Whiny and arrogant?

The REAL main character should've been Mikasa who's actually cool and interesting. But i guess having a GIRL be the MC would've been too much of a risk -_-

I have no idea what 2-cour actually meant. (Not being French and all) Why not just say "full season"? That's basically what it is!

Though i am glad that the anime gets 25 episodes instead of 11-12 which seems to be the norm for big-budget anime nowadays. Gives it more room to breath.

Most people on MAL seem to call them cour instead of seasons when it comes to anime so I just went with that. *shrug* call me a sheep because I just went along with the flow, but you're right anyhow because there's no sense in associating something that's Japanese with a French word.

thats kinda true. 1 cour takes the time frame of 1 season, so 2 course technically should be called 2 seasons. They should give sequels a different name instead of "seasons", but whatever, I just go along with everyone else.

So... There's...

6 seasons of Shana
4 seasons of Cross Game
4 seasons of Code Geass
8 seasons of Hayate no Gotoku

.... And people are anticipating Code Geass season 5?


That sound kinda dumb... Just stick to cour please. If it works, don't change it, who cares if it's French or Dutch or whatnot.

So far at episode 2, and still epic. I don't think the producers will mess this up. It would take a lot to ruin how grand it already is.
