It's alright, to begin with, starts off with a good pace and the plot actually makes sense. Young readers may not understand much when first picking this up but it's still pretty good. The artwork is poor but you start to see some of the resemblence from the actual Shingeki no Kyojin. I loved this and I hope others learn to love it as well. I enjoyed this a lot and the style fitted the story very well. The characters were great but ended up not so well in the end but still overall a great oneshot for me. There are some others who may ... not enjoy this but that's okay, another man's trash is another man's treasure.

I read this one by mistake, my intention was reading AoT from beginning and this was the first thing that I found. Saying that I was confused would be an utter understatement.

Nevertheless, I guess it's fun to just go back today to the very start of AoT and think of how humble beginnings can take us to places never thought of before.
If you're a die-hard fan of the series maybe give it a go, otherwise you're not missing much. Mainly because the whole chapter looks like a scribble that some of us made when we were in some boring history class back in high ... school

Alright. I just gave this one a go. Do take this review with a grain of salt as this is my first review on the website (and probably my last). I'm not gonna talk about the characters as Tsubaki is just Eren and Murakamo is just Mikasa. This is a prototype after all.

Story 6/10: The story's the exact same as AOT, titan shifters, titans, inner walls, ect. There's some tweaks here and there though, such as the titan's weak spot being the nucleus, and the vanguard corps (survey corps) using katanas. The titans were also a human extermination operation by scientists and religious groups if ... I read it correctly.

Art 3/10: It was pretty bad...Isayama has come a long way. The entire one-shot just felt like a rough sketch. The art was comprehensible but it was terrible at the same time. In fact, the art is so bad it's actually quite funny.

Overall 4/10: If your a fan of AOT then check this out, it's cool to see the concepts Isayama planned before making the serialized version. It's also nice comparing his drawings from back then to now. Otherwise it just feels like a waste of time, your not gonna gain anything from reading this. That's all I gotta say.
