Re: Spoilers for Recent AoT Chapters
(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 03:27 am (UTC)(link)I loved Krista/Ymir as this opposites attract thing. I liked the idea of Ymir's influence eventually making Krista more badass and with her own agency/personality, and Krista's influence bringing out vulnerability in Ymir. I do still love it, but I feel there's so much lost potential with the way the plot's gone in the last year.
LOL I saw the spoilers and thought "Nah, photoshop." I'm not squicked by that sort of thing but it was just so left field and jarring. All the torture we've seen before has been gritty and realistic and sometimes quite subtle. This was like a Human Centipede sledgehammer. I don't think laughing hysterically was the reaction Isayama wanted, somehow.
Three years, really? This time last year I'd have been delighted. Now I just smh. I haven't seen a series implode as badly as this for a long time.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 03:46 am (UTC)(link)Huh, I've never thought of Krista/Ymir like that. I suppose I was just too put off by the writing of them, pratically Krista, that I just didn't see it. I can see why you ship them now. That would have been a fantastic way to develop Krista as a character and it would have been so much vetter than what we got. Thank you for the new perspective, anon. :)
I'm not squicked out by that sort of thing ether, but holy shit, I was nor expecting that. I'm still hung up over it, ngl. Zackly is one sadistic, kinky fucking bastard. Wonder what the hell Isayama was watching/reading when he thought of putting that in. Just wow.
Yep, in about three years. Here's the source. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-09-22/attack-on-titan-creator-isayama-manga-to-end-in-about-3-years/.79025
I wonder how much more of a trainwreck this can become. I mean, it's obvious that he's got no idea where to go with this.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 04:13 am (UTC)(link)I still start laughing when I think of that scene. I just can't take it seriously. I'm laughing even more now because I'm thinking of OP expecting superduper grimmness when they read and seeing that crack instead.
The thing is, the stuff that's happening now has most likely been (with the odd room for tweaking as things progress) been planned out for a while, and it's still a total mess in terms of the execution and the pacing. I hold out no hope whatsoever for stuff that hasn't even been planned out yet. I also have doubts about any series that magically gets longer than its natural lifespan due to popularity because the quality always suffers, but that's probably another rant, LOL.
It all still makes me feel bad though, because I used to be the exact sort of person this secret's OP would've hated and I sort of wish I was again but the series is too far gone into crazy for that.
Re: Spoilers for Recent AoT Chapters
(Anonymous) 2014-11-10 05:01 am (UTC)(link)I can't either. It is just utterly ridiculous in every way imaginable and then some. I mean for god's sake, he is going to be humiliated in front of the public like that. It is so over the top. It just keeps on giving. After the Armin stuff and this, I gotta wonder about Isayama.
If this stuff was planned then he really dropped the ball. It's barely keeping my interest anymore. Well, not for the right reasons anyway. I've no idea where hesgoing with it anymore. Also, ehere the fuck is Beast Titan? Haven't seen him in a while.
