    AoT question, I’ll spoiler since we know posters are watching first time

    So during the OG war Marley stole 7/9 titans. But how if only Eldians can transform into titans? Was that ever explained? Didn’t miss something?

    They had their own like subjugated Eldians that would assume the titan roles with the help of the Tybur (War Hammer Titan) family I think.

    anime only Solo Leveling fans, I feel for you lol.

    Next week judging by the story pacing is going to end on probably an even more agonizing cliff hanger.

    I do wonder how they are going to fill out the episode to save exchange for the cliffhanger since it only takes Beru a couple chapters to mess up everyone on the island. Also disappointed they dropped the scene of Goto realizing he was about to get murked if they didn't stop the sparring match with Jinwo.

    Just hit that episode on the kid’s watch and remembered. Completely forgot about those cucks. Also, he immediately nailed…..

    the episode where Owl reveals he’s the attack titan and gives it to Eren’s dad. Eren’s dad doesn’t agree until Owl says “you have to for Mikasa and Armin”. Remember the internet losing its mind when that line happened. This ahole kid, “oh, so most titans see their past but the attack titan can see the future as well.” DA FUQ? How?

    I feel like the anime is almost completely skipping the Japan vs Korea thing even with the 2 different international versions, they can still easily end on "Exchange" by doing more anime only scenes next episode to focus on more of Min's and Goto's backstory

    I like scrolling Crunchyroll looking for the weirdest names. “I was reincarnated as a vending machine and now I wander the dungeon” sure is a mouth full.

    Apparently I really need to watch solo leveling based on this thread.

    doing an IBO rewatch and knowing how it all ends makes the show insanely more depressing than it was during the first watch.

    How is the 2nd half of the show DirtBall? The arc provisional license arc was a slog, which is fine after the high directly preceeding it. Finally past it, and just met Nighteye. Hopefully it picks back up.

    Nighteye only has 1 good moment deep in to the next arc and its worth it.

    You’re just struggling not to start at his naked junk. There’s some slower arcs in the middle but the train should start moving pretty quick.

    Yea the VA is top notch, which is amazing considering this is his first major role as a VA, he has a ton of previous credits but like 90% of them are minor characters that has like 2-3 episodes worth of appearances.

    A small VA complaint with SL. The guild master that’s voiced by All Might sounds exactly like All Might. Like all dub actors they’re all in everything (he’s Vegeta/Piccolo/Zoro and like 90 others) but he doesn’t change it up much at all in SL.

    If it’s just me I sub. If it’s something the kid wants to watch we dub. For Solo Leveling (and final chapter of One Piece) I cheat and watch the sub then rewind to the start of the episode so when we watch the dub in 2 weeks it looks like I haven’t.

    I randomly had a thought about vamp hunter d the other day. Doesn't look like it's on the streamers and I'm not good at torrance. Is there anything beyond Castlevania that might scratch the violent vampire itch that's readily available?

    Hm maybe. I was hoping there was some kind of copycat on max or Netflix now. Maybe I'll just do a Castlevania rewatch for now

    All the leaks leading up to today was saying this was a mid episode, I have no idea what drugs they were taking.

    The animation wasn't up to par with say the Igris or Tusk fight sure and the plot was a bit light on the Japanese betrayal side of things but that was to be expected. The Ant King fight itself was so much better and the Byung-Gu death scene was even more emotional than it was in the manhwa

    Im a whore for those discover links when you open google. One this morning said “10 best anime’s not named solo leveling” and this was on it. Don’t know if anyone in here has seen it.
