Attack on Titan might be my favourite story in any medium, it’s certainly in my top 3 (other 2 probs being Avatar and the world of ASOIAF). I had read a couple of the chapters over the last 11-12 years, but never more than maybe a volume. I think season 1 of the show is the weakest, but I think I might enjoy the manga more? The order of events are mixed up in the show, where you see the training arc before the first major story arc of the series. I’d always imagined that being much better than doing Trost before the training corps arc, but to be honest this way around was fine. Being immersed in this story, knowing where it’s heading as well as the directions the characters are taking, understanding so much of the foreshadowing–it’s really just all fantastic stuff. I’m really digging Isayama’s illustrations as well! Apparently that’s a hot take.
I’ve rewatched the series 6 or so times since season 1 aired, and I reckon I’ll be rereading the Manga a bunch as well. Slowly getting the omnibuses, right now I have the first 3. Fun fact, my sister bought me the first while she was in Japan a few years ago!
