2 episodes for the first volume does not imply one cour at all. It just means that fans may have to suffer buying up to 12/13 volumes in total.

I can't imagine this being 1 cour.

[Westlo]

Vol 1 - 2 Episodes
Vol 2-9 - 3 Episodes

26 Episodes

Or worst case scenario, 12x2 episodes... But I think kadokawa are the only ones who do they now.

[Soconfused]

I probably missed it reading through the last page, but when does this start? Next week? I'm actually hoping they don't follow the manga much. I'm hoping for somewhat of a Claymore route.

And I can't imagine this being 26 episodes. Would be nice, but I doubt it.

April 6, this weekend

how come you prefer Claymore route? now I'm confused @__@

[Soconfused]

Like others, I just don't feel there's enough content in the manga at the moment to justify following it, unless they plan to do multiple seasons, which wouldn't be ideal for a monthly series. I think it would benefit more from just doing it's own thing for the most part, set up the world by following the first volume or two then go from there. If they follow the manga, it will just end up leaving off on a massive cliff hanger as there's really no lull in the manga at the moment. I mean, I guess they could do it with 13 episodes, then another 13 in the fall, then by the time a 3rd season comes around there would be more content from the manga to go on.

[articuzwolf]

so it is better that way then, compared to just go claymore route and God knows when or will we receive a reboot like FMA

although yes, I could agree that I couldn't find any good point in manga to stop without leaving a massive cliffhanger for the next season (if any)

Keep in mind that the first volume of the blu-ray is 6,300yen - which is below the price of an average Pony Canyon volume release. Chuu2 is a 1-cour series with 2 episodes per volume from Pony Canyon, and it goes for 6,930yen per volume. Tamako Market is 7,140yen per volume, also a 1-cour show from Pony Canyon.

Shingeki Vol1 is going for less, and it includes a 65-page "Volume 0" manga bonus by the original manga artist. This definitely indicates that Vol1 has a lower episode count and the subsequent volumes will cost more.

Volume 0?! Huah!! For real!! I'd buy that even if it costs me $80!

There's a high chance this is going to be like Ao no Exorcist and the original Full Metal Alchemist and go and do it's own thing after the halfway point where they follow the manga for the most part.

SnK as a property is popular enough to get a reboot down the line once it finishes up anyway... SnK unlike AnE and FMA is extremely popular prior to the anime, whereas those 2 used the anime as a catalyst for popularity.

Shingeki no Kyojin might be 2013 best anime, if done right. The giants themselves serve as a great advisement to new viewers. My favorite show for 2013 atm is Shin Sekai Yori, but it could be dethrone seeing how I love the manga.

Can anyone inform me the following info?

1) Which time slot is this series replacing for (anime)?

2) Any well known VA in this show?

[articuzwolf]

DAT hips, bear my child please :3

Marina Inoue, Yuki Kaji(?), Romi Park, Daisuke Ono, Kamiya Hiroshi and Shimomono Hiro should be the names you've come across in several animes already.

[Cold~as~Ice]

great episode they stayed true to the manga. got the chills at the end


hope this anime gets a subforum

Spoiler for Episode 1:

This happens to offer one of the best first episodes of the spring season I've seen so far. It starts with Eren's ordinary life in a world where cities get covered by multiple walls to prevent any invasion of gigantic creatures known as "Titans" as a result of a serious incident that happens in a while. Suddenly, some intense drama happens when Titans invade again, resulting much of the strong tension and emotional involvement as it progresses. The artwork looks flawed but beautiful to look, I always emotionally feel for Eren, Mikasa and Armin as well some comical interaction that happens at the beginning. The story was pretty dark indeed, and I was very moved at the end. The opening theme looks awesome so is the music done by Sawano. It has a very astonishing beginning in my opinion, so I'll plan watching on some more episodes.
