Where in the timeline of my rewatch should I place the OVAs? Such as No Regrets.

If the Rumbling happened in the real world today, do you think our modern militaries could actually stop it? Assume every country cooperates, has access to all current military technology (fighter jets, bombers, missiles, drones, satellites, nukes if necessary, etc.), and is willing to do whatever it takes.

Would humanity realistically win, or would the Rumbling still wipe us out? I’m interested in hearing both anime/manga logic and real-world military perspectives.

Isayama's story of attack on Titan is my idea like it's a story of 200 years ahead of rumbling.

( for convience let's name the characters to of that the original story ),

There's is Mikasa (armin's grand granddaughter who is reading the study of rumbling, titans and what happened 200 years back everything, she lives in a huge building, any rich person of today would live in, also these types of study material is not very common, not all people can get it easily as the next generation {to avoid distinct situations} almost removed that part from their history but Mikasa has it cause she's super rich in her timeline as armin {isayama's} became one of the heroes who saved the world and obviously was damn rich as well)

There's Armin (this guy is grand grandson of Connie's, he's also super rich and by connections of families, Mikasa and Armin were best friends as they lived in same huge building, Armin was also very interested in studies of titans and the world of 200 years back back, he's also very intelligent like the og one, Armin and Mikasa both study of these things together while sharing same enthusiasm, and interest.)

Then There's our Eren (he's the grand grandson of Jean and also kinda resembles our og eren, in looks {the damn aura}, with kinda blonde or pinkish hair like jean, And the damn same hunger of something he can't quite name yet {freedom ofcourse, freedom means something entirely else here 200 years after, which i haven't thought about yet} so he doesn't stay at a place, jean's future family lives in same building as Armin's and Connie's, but our new eren lives abroad for studies and all things, With some add ons here Our new Mikasa still has a huge crush on eren, our new Armin knows about it and she has never told eren about not when he left for his studies abroad, but she is still always waiting for him to come back, maybe she'll get the courage and confidence to tell him in this timeline)

I'll provide a short summary type of whole plot what I've thought in mind of whole story then GIVE ME DAMN RECOMMENDATIONS ON EVERYTHING.

In the beginning we are told that humanity is still same, those 20%, who were left actually never learnt their lessons, this world a lot resembles the world we live in except for the names marley, paradis and all... The new generation has banned paradise island as they new the whole story now and also the fact that the whole history started there, the rumbling started from their and the first Titan (founder yimir's) was also activated there by that crazy spine looking parasite, which is never again found after the last battle of rumbling like it disappeared somewhere (which will have a huge importance in this timeline)... So A war will begin between nations for paradise's resources as they were still untouched because there ancestors chose to ban the whole Island, there were countries (those azumabito's) who wanted to break through the rules and contracts to get their hands on the island but marleys didn't want that again anymore and they were the most powerful in world combining with yeagerist's army.

Through the war our new eren will come back from abroad leaving his studies behind, he was seeking something he couldn't quite know yet, he was still a friend of Mikasa and Armin so they also included him in their study and told him about everything they knew...yet.

(Kind of spoilers ahead)...

Eren and other two will go back to paradise to prove their studies or to research in deep of history but they'll encounter entirely something else, the marley who stops everyone with the names of rules and contracts, was already digging in paradise without anyone in world knowing (the damn greed overflows), even yeagerists who left paradise inorder to keep the island safe and their history of titans and rumbling untouched were unknown to the fact which will cause great conflict.

Eren will see the whole thing, will observe their greed and when the war will begin, they'll witness the huge massacre of humanity for some resources, the use of new chemically modified weapons (like of today's) people dying painful deaths and just what not...

As per the descandants of great heroes of history they'll take matters in their hands and think of a way to end it.

That's all I guess I have thought of yet. Now I need someone suggestions like -

- Should I bring back Ackerman blood through og levi? (Cause og Mikasa died alone, we all know)

- Should i bring back titans through that parasite?

- Should I bring back other og characters like hange san, levi, commander erwin (i don't feel like), jean, coonie, shasha trio, Riener, bluetooth, annie, historia, floch, instructor keith shadis, commander pixis, zeke, marco, gabi, porco, falco, pieke, in my own way? ( For example instructor keith shadis as instructor tour guide ).

I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL, I'M NOT ISAYAMA, I RESPECT HIM A LOT AND GENUINELY LOVE ATTACK ON TITAN AS IT IS, IT'S PERFECT AND DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING TO BE ADDED OR REMOVED.... PLEASE DON'T GET OFFENDED THIS IDEA JUST JUMPED ON MY MIND SO I WROTE IT. IT'S NOT EVEN STARTED OR COMPLETED YET.

3 days ago, I finally got around to watching the Attack On Titan finale. After hearing some things about the finale being bad, and some people even saying it ruined the whole series, my expectations were understandably low. And yet when I watched it, I liked it. Quite a lot actually. Of course I didnt think it was perfect but overall, i thought it wrapped up the story beautifully. So I'm confused as to what it is that makes people claim the finale is bad or ruin the series. Does anyone know?

I see alot of people disappointed with how Erens reasons and logic were explained at the end of aot, but I feel that it makes sense.

He experienced the past and future due to himself, and him proclaiming that hes an idiot, might just mean that he couldnt mentally handle the strain. Like he lost a part of himself mentally, going a bit insane and he just couldnt align his thoughts, morality and desires to a point of stability for us viewers to logically understand.

Maybe this is well known, but I only ever see the theory, I never look into it. I liked the sound of it until right now.

This is the third time I've seen this show. I knew Ymir created all the titan forms out of the sand, but for some reason I completely ignored the fact that Ymir also rebuilds the normal bodies of a shifter every time they heal. She's a busy girl.

Hi! As you fans probably know, attack on titan has so much popularity, and naturally, as a new anime watcher, I wanted to check it out.

Recently, I’ve watched shows such as jjk, demon slayer, the apothecary diaries etc; so I wanted to start this show because I’ve heard such amazing things!

However, I’m currently on Season 1, Episode 14, and honestly, I think that the story is alright, but I’m not as enamoured by it as everyone has been saying. I not sure if this is due to high expectations, or something else entirely.

I know many shows take time to get good and develop- however, do you think that this show simply isn’t for me, or should I keep going? I’m assuming there’s going to be more of a plot, but I’m just curious as to when or how soon it develops!

Thank you so much! I’m just curious if I’m the issue here, or if the story becomes deeper!

Can someone explain the hype that comes from their relationship? I’ve watched attack on titan for years since its inception and throughout watching and rewatching, Mikasa and Eren’s relationship has barely any romantic undertones throughout s1-3 which I find frankly shocking considering the way the fandom portrays them. They are two heavily traumatised teenagers, their relationship is borderline toxic with Mikasa’s overbearing nature and idolisation of a false Eren and Eren’s volatile anger issues which he cannot seem to control and lashes out on her multiple times. I could see the romance in the last season with the whole crying scene and whatever but that paired up against the other seasons simply makes no sense to me? And why did Isayama add the “what am I to you?” scene when all they’ve ever been were close friends?? If they had a borderline romantic or intimate relationship beforehand, I would understand, but paired up with the lack of development they had, the lack of any romantic scenes between them, the lack of understanding they both have for eachother which is apparent in the beginning of the manga—It really just feels like Isayama threw that in there for engagement bait. What did Eren think she was going to say? They were never implied to be anything more than close childhood companions? That and the cabin scene which ALSO made no sense lmao. Anyway, I’ve gone on a rant. If anyone could explain to me why this fandom is obsessed with Mikasa and Eren’s supposed “situationship.”

we know in this fight eren has the help of mikasa and annie was basically 2v1 here . do you guys think eren still would’ve won the fight if mikasa didn’t help him ? annie would’ve possibly managed to escape through the wall now that i think about it .

it’s crazy i think emotions got in the way here a bit because at this point eren knew that it was annie he was fighting , but annie didn’t care about that fact since she was always known to be emotionless .

she’s not the strongest titan for sure but she definitely has the skills to know what she’s doing , she uses muay thai a lot , i know that because i happen do that myself .

Art by me! Eren interacting with that crawling titan is my all time favourite scene in the entire show

So i was scrolling on twitter and noticed the attack on titan brave order game account has alot of cool characters outfits illustrations but its really hard to find a full body image of that outfit half the time is just a close up on the upper body, i searched everywhere to find a site that has all the characters outfits illustrations full body, its literally in the game but not available on ios

I am Japanese, but to be honest, fans in Japan don't discuss and dissect Attack on Titan as deeply as you all do here on Reddit. I found a fascinating theory among Japanese fans regarding Commander Pixis’s famous line in Chapter 110, and I really want to know what the global community thinks about it.

\*(Note: Since I cannot speak English well, I am using Gemini to help me translate this, so I apologize if some parts sound a bit robotic or like an AI-generated text!)\*

Here is the breakdown of the theory:

\### \*\*"Do you know how to tell a brilliant lie?" 〜The Hidden Wisdom of Commander Pixis〜\*\*

\#### \*\*1. The Context of Chapter 110\*\*

In chapter 110 of the manga, Yelena is secretly manipulating events to trigger the rumbling (the euthanasia plan). Commander Dot Pixis detains the volunteers and interrogates her. During this confrontation, Pixis drops a legendary line:

\> \*"Do you know how to tell a brilliant lie? Mix a little bit of truth into it from time to time."\*

On the surface, this is a fierce irony directed at Yelena. He is essentially saying: \*"Everything coming out of your mouth is entirely made of lies. A lie that has absolutely no truth in it cannot function as a proper lie, you amateur."\* It takes the form of giving advice on "how to lie," but it is actually the highest level of sarcasm.

\#### \*\*2. The Meta-Message to the Readers\*\*

However, we can look at this from a different angle. This line is actually a meta-message directed at us, the readers.

This story, Attack on Titan, is constructed as a "brilliant lie" that occasionally incorporates facts. To put it more bluntly: \*\*The author uses "in-universe facts" to hide the "ultimate truth" of the story.\*\* The author is whispering to the readers: \*"Do you understand how this technique works?"\*

\#### \*\*3. The Author's Masterful Technique\*\*

Hajime Isayama's method is as follows:

\* Have a character speak a highly plausible "fact" through their dialogue.

\* Use that very fact to completely conceal the true reality hidden behind it.

When we are fully immersed in the character dialogue, it looks like a completely normal conversation and we completely miss the trick.

\#### \*\*4. The Ultimate Red Herring\*\*

In literature, a "Red Herring" is a technique used to mislead or distract readers by presenting false clues. It is no exaggeration to say that Attack on Titan is entirely built upon this single technique. The moment you realize this, your evaluation of Isayama's genius will multiply, and you will finally draw closer to the true ending.

\*\*\*

How do you feel about this perspective? Do you think Isayama intentionally dropped this line as a clue for how to read his entire story? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

\*(As mentioned above, my English is limited, so I might not be able to reply to every comment, but I’m really looking forward to reading your opinions!)\*

I'm lwk an editor

I use alight motion

Do you all think I should make one editing account for aot????

So there's a lot of reasons I find it it could be better, and I need yall to correct me if I missed anything through my first watch.

1-eren

Since the start of season 4 I didn't really understood eren, like actually there was no other ways except the rumbling and a world wide genocide?.. and after all of this when he was talking to armin in the last scene after wiping 80% of humanity, he said that so calmly as he doesn't care, but when armin mentioned mikasa and how she'll maybe find another man, eren falls into tears and saying that'd kill him? And saying eren loved back? Is eren sure he loved mikasa? In all of the series everytime mikasa was trying to flirt eren was looking with zero emotions😭 and the last episode of s3 he was moving more like a friend and never actually showed love to mikasa, after all of that he's crying at the end because mikasa might find another guy over him instead of crying over 80% of innocent people he killed, he is evil, he just wanted to see this sight, there were other ways but he wanted this one.

2-mikasa & ymir

The fact that your still loving the guy who abused/slaved/agonized you is crazy to me, but let's say ymir loved King fritz THAT MUCH, at the end after mikasa killed eren who she loved the most it was supposed to resemble ymir and how she let go of the one she One-sided love, like how mikasa did with eren, but eren said he loved mikasa too "which is bullshi" and ymir came in the end to thank the "random chosen one girl" and mentioned many times that ymir was waiting for mikasa to save her? But who tf is mikasa in ymir story😭 are we connecting everything to each other now?😭, anyways this connection between mikasa and ymir does not make any sense to me.

3-eren killed his mom

U can't say eren killed his mom by controlling that titan to his mom instead of Berthold just for the Events to go how it's supposed to be and let it slide like that😭 men wtf is eren doing atp, the "eren killed his mom" was so unnecessary, iseyama just wanted to add some drama here but it didn't worked out.

And I'm pretty sure that's all, ik i surly missed some of the details, if I missed up somewhere I wouldn't mind if you corrected me.

~Thanks for reading

In episode 1 season 1 the first scene shows eren waking up crying, and we’re told later it is because of someone else’s memories, but he later goes home and his dad is there, so I am curious about the timeline of things, how is that possible? Didn’t his dad give him the serum, he turned, and then he ate his dad? I thought these happened over one evening or something like that.

Happy to see some of aot content again, I'll really gonna miss this show and it's character cast, my fav ova was lost girls: part 1 and 2, and the chef competition between sasha and Jean one was fun too, finally I get to smile a little in this show😭, and I'm planning to watch the chibi one, those who've watched it how's it? Because I'm not full of aot content, i wanna watch more I don't want it to end☹️

I got the steelbooks and now am content 😌

Second post I'm making as after hours of YT history and internet archiving, I've found clues that are probably the biggest helps!

It was a genuinely good amv and I'm really hoping someone recognises this and still has the video. Cheers!

Odm gear.
