Attack on Titan

review 1: Can we just move the plot along a little faster? Maybe have some development that actually relates to the main conflict? Maybe even, oh I don't know, have Eren pull his head out of his ass and realize that, gee, dad left me a key to a secret lab, and maybe there are some answers there? I'm getting tired of waiting for this series to actually make progress, instead of just creating a million and two subplots that never fully seem to connect. Some of these subplots have immense potential and add a lot of interest, but are just swept under the rug by the main characters, even though they seem crucially important to the problems at hand. Isayama introduces a few interesting concepts, like the plot point with Connie's village, and then just buries them in senseless political "i... morentrigue" without giving any hint as to why these people are so interested in Eren and Krista in the first place. And then to just drop random dreams into key characters and have them dismiss those panels immediately as "just a dream?" It's not drawing me into the story or keeping me interested in what might happen next - it's just making me frustrated. The series needs more focus, before it gets stuck trying to be too many things at once.The highlights of this volume came from the little bits of humor dropped along the way, and basically everything Levi did and said. Other than that, this was a pretty mediocre addition to what started out as a great series.
review 2: I waited two long months to get this volume from the library... and I was a bit disappointed with this volume. It lacked a lot of things that I think make this series amazeballs... however, I am really happy with the pace of this series. Things don't happen too quickly nor are they drawn out for a ridiculous amount of time. And this sudden political turn is super intriguing. I'm really interested to see how this all turns out.Unfortunately, I won't get to find that out for a long time. I won't be reading anymore volumes until the rest of the series comes out. I cannot wait for that to happen so I can read the whole series in it's entirety! less
