They're both horror comics about a dystopian earth in which humanity being threatened by deformed superhuman monsters with cannon-fodder protagonists being sent by corrupt governments to fight hopeless battles with a bizarre mystery as an overarching plot.

It's a pretty loose description, and it applies to the majority of scifi-horror manga, but these two just happen to be popular at the same time, so everyone and their mom are comparing them. (Speaking of which, why are so many people comparing Shingeki no Kyojin to Sword Art Online?)

Funny, I was thinking of Sword Art Online in how it's popular but divisive, so every other post about it is saying it sucks (I say this having never seen/read any SA:O and only having read about the first volume of Titan).

The best "shounen" battle manga off the top of my head is FMA. There's others I really like, but that's the one that springs immediately to mind.

I don't watch the anime but I do read the manga. Who or what is rusty?
>> No. 82301
>>82300

The whole time whinyguy sucks ass at the balancing screening test was due to him having a rusty part in his belt. I don't really get why that was done at all.

It showed that he wasn't familiar enough with the equipment his life depends on that he didn't notice a fatal flaw in a basic component for two days. His immediate breakdown also demonstrated that he was not confident enough in his own practice or the help he got from those other dudes all night in the forest.

If this guy is supposed to be someone overcoming odds, the rusty part was basically a declaration that he really isn't competent enough to proceed to the next step of his journey.

I mean, I get the impression that that's the point, but...just...why?
>> No. 82302
>>82301
I'm guessing you watched gg's mistranslation? It wasn't rusty, it was broken. One of the lines from the manga taken out of the anime was the drill instructor thinking to himself, "He managed to balance for a brief moment, even with faulty equipment. Can anyone else have done that?" showing that Eren actually has more raw talent and potential than anyone else.

Nah, the manga is actually really well plotted-out and a lot of things that happen in the manga turn out to be foreshadowed very early on if you pay close attention. Just power-read it too so I didn't notice them much myself, but it seems like the author at least knows what he's doing.

Can't say I'm crazy about the bipolar approach the adaptation is taking animation-wise. While part of it might be due to censoring they're weirdly placed throughout the episode so they stick out like a sore thumb in contrast to the really fluidly-animated parts. Annie's sweep kick was particularly bad for instance. Not to mention Squad 34 getting murdered like that was a pretty pivotal moment in setting the mood of the manga so holding back form the carnage with stills really takes away its emotional impact.

I thought the Jojo adaptation was smarter in their use of it despite already being Still Frames: The Anime. I'm not against the use of budget-saving devices as long as the directing is good to make up for it, but so far the anime has only been so-so for me in that regard.

Just caught up on the anime, haven't read the manga. My opinion on it is as such:

>before end of episode 8
This show is great! It gets kinda silly with how over-the-top pathetic and evil certain people are portrayed, the stereotypically 'greedy bad guys' like the king and that one rich merchant just come off as goofy. Other than that though, extremely entertaining and quite thrilling. Best action anime I've seen in a long time.

No, it's a central crux to the story and fascinating.

I don't mind Eren being able to turn into a titan, I'm fine with that and like you said it adds a new dimension to the story. I just REALLY hate it when dead characters come back to life. It establishes that death isn't always permanent and that removes almost all tension for me.
