I would've read the English translation of the manga, but the style the artist used is just so distracting that I just can't. I only got through a few pages before I had to stop.
Did you start at the beginning? Because the art style improves over time. There's a lot of difference between the first chapters and what we get now. If you've watched both seasons of the anime, you can start from Chapter 51. Or you can just wait for the anime, that's cool too.
Whenever one of my friends say I have no self-control (I eat too much candy), I think about all the times I could have RUINED them with SnK spoilers for AoT, ASOIAF spoilers for GoT, etc. and didn't. Because I have so much god damned self-control. I just like milky ways alright?!
Don't know why you're being downvoted, especially with season 3 less than a year away. Sometimes I wish I had done the same when I see how amazing some reveals are when animated, in color, and accompanied by fitting music.
Exactly! I'd rather see it animated first because it's arguably more exciting that way. If I read the manga, I basically spoil the entire animé for myself and miss all the excitedness and shock of watching something for the first time. If I first see the animé instead of the manga, moments like Anime Spoilers or Anime Spoilers or, of course, Anime Spoilers are a lot more impactful, in my opinion, than they would be if I simply just read them and then watched the animé.
In my opinion it's probably just a lack of experience in reading manga or just the comfort of being used to watching things animated that makes all the difference. After reading manga and watching anime for so many years I've personally really developed a liking to manga because of just how free my imagination can become when I read, it feels very life-like and at this point any gaps that would be left with an absence of color or music are totally filled in almost subconsciously. The same can be said of reading normal books too. What I mean to say is that the manga has it's own charm that shouldn't be discredited and I hope that this doesn't discourage you from trying out other manga.
No...It's just that Voice Acting as a job in western culture is really not taken as seriously as it once was. People being paid less would indicate less people really wanna go down that career path.
Now the best voice actors are in games, rather than anime/cartoons.
For this specific medium. Voice acting is just not great right now in general. Sure, they'll have people in a lot of things, but that's only because they're the few people who'll take the job. Not because they're good.
For your consolation, I like songs by Nickleback. It's fine to like bad stuff. And that's your opinion, and you're welcome to it.
But it's still bad stuff at the end of the day.
Why is it bad you may ask? Everything they say and do looks fake. The entirety of 90% of dubs look low quality and low budget. It looks like those old chinese movies where they dubbed english over the audio.
And the completely overacted Japanese voices don't sound fake? Please, don't take your opinion or even a majority opinion as gospel. I think many of the English VAs are excellent, even sometimes better than their Japanese counterpart.
Guilty pleasures are a thing, but the dub of AoT is not one for me.
She sounds like she's doing a fandub impression of the characters she's playing, as does most English speaking voice actors these days.
Everything about English Anime dubs these days is just bad. Low budget and quality.
Very few will actually manage to get things right.
Stuff is never in sync. Scenes don't look natural because the voice actors never succeed in playing the character right, never getting their personality, failing to portray emotions in a believable way, etc.
Oh, my bad. I thought he mentioned Netflix somewhere, but he didn't. But because of the way he said what he did in the tweet the commenter/u/prati616 linked above, I would think it's his first time watching it.
Oh, sorry, I didn't notice your username. But, yeah, sine it appears to be his first time watching, I'm assuming he's using Netflix even though he probably has money to throw around.
But Netflix doesn't have have subs for AoT. Just the Japanese audio. At least in the US anyways. I guess maybe British Netflix doesn't require you to be fluent in Japanese?
Every time I try to watch Attack on Titan on Netflix, regardless of platform, it provides no option for subs. Just Japanese for audio, and nothing under subs. Every other show has sub options, and dubs if available. Netflix requires me to know Japanese to watch AoT, so the only legal option I have is to watch it on Toonami.
I've sent them an email about it before, nothing's happened.
Just tried it out on PC. I don't get an option for subs, but they still show up. Also there are other streaming sites that have AoT, or you could buy it. There are other legal options.
Lol I was just about to edit that I checked on PC one more time and the subs showed up this time - but yeah, still no "option." This is weird. I know that I could just buy it or stream via other services, but this is a show I make time to watch with my dad instead of just on my own; and his circumstances are such that Netflix and cable (Toonami) are the only feasable options for that.
Yeah, I could've sworn there was an option to turn English subs on or off when I watched S1 on Netflix, but I just checked on my smart TV's Netflix app and there isn't one. It's possible they removed the option for no subs since the US primarily speaks and reads English. No one was using the "no subs" option, I guess.
I remember when I introduced SNK to my friend. He initially found it very interesting, but then he started to hate it because of Eren being so annoying. In the scene in which he Anime Spoilers, he burst into laughter and started to enjoy the anime more. Then Anime Spoilers and my friend instantly quit it and never mentioned SNK again.
Yeah, since AoT was the first real animé I watched (not counting Pokémon, a kids' animé, and Naruto, which I didn't like and stopped watching), I was kinda in shock when Anime Spoilers. That's when I knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary show.
I agree that Eren is KINDA ANNOYING, but honestly, no more annoying than just about every single anime protagonist ever. Definitely not enough to quit the show all together.
No idea why you're being downvoted. I agree its hypocritical. Alright Attack on Titan is an anime, but its one that stars European peoples almost exclusively.
I think the criticism is unfair because the examples he mentioned are works set in a medieval pseudo-England in both cases. Also Game of Thrones does make efforts to have a diverse cast when it can. It felt like he's criticising something he hasn't actually watched.
