I'll never get what people see in this series. I thought it was overhyped and most of the main characters are lame, save for Mikasa. Most of the supporting cast are more interesting.

We wouldn't mind if they start speaking German. 
Although generally, there's some things that German isn't suited for. For instance, I consider German (and English as well since it's Germanic) to be a "strong" language, which high pitch speaking isn't suited for. High pitches don't sound good in strong language.
We could never get those things perfect. 
That reminds us, why hasn't anyone turned Dance Central into Hatsune Miku yet? There's already 3D moves and music. That'd get a lot of people fit, not to mention maybe learn some stuff (like better rhythm).

Wait, wait. I got it. Genius idea here. Do Usher's OMG song from the POV of the Titans, and make an AMV of it. 'Cause you just know that some of these lyrics are exactly what they're thinking. Baby, let me love you down There's so many ways to love you Baby, I can break you down There's so many ways to love you I fell in love with shawty when I seen her on the dance floor She was dancin' sexy, p-p-poppin', droppin', droppin' low Never, ever has a lady hit me on the first sight This was something special, this was just like dynamite C'mon, tell me you can't visualize this. During the "there's so many ways to love you" and "baby, I can break you down" lines show them chomping down on people. Like Eren's mother. And then "shawty" is obviously Mikasa with her sweet OMG moves. And then for the dynamite verse, have the people on top of the walls shooting down at the Titans. You don't even have to do an AMV of the entire song. The length of Dance Central 3's version is just fine. Make it, take it to an AMV contest, and be sure to win. This song was made as a way for Titans to express their love for humanity. If I ever get enough free time, I may even do this myself (having already attempted some AMVs). But I don't see that happening at any point soon. So if anyone does decide to roll with this idea... be sure to contact me, pronto. So that I can watch.

I liked this clip, but I'm not really digging the others. Probably because I'm used to the original voices.

Ooh, you missed my edit--actually, I was agreeing with you in the first place. My bad.

You know what? Judging from all the dub clips shown so far, they sounds fine but yet I can't judge the dub in full because I haven't seen yet it.
And the fudge do you mean Americanized? Yeah, it's an English dub but there isn't much that screams Japanese in the original aside from the voice acting in the original language. |

This clip was pretty decent. The one everyone else was mentioning that I found was in fact pretty
 to say the least.

Eren isn't bad enough to ruin anything in the show but he's a very typical main character, not much if anything special about him. Same can be said for quite a few of the characters in the series, but personally AoT's concept feels fairly fresh to me, yeah we've seen end of the world type stuff before but AoT brings it to you in a way where you really feel the character's desperation, hopelessness and such when things are bad and vice versa when there's reason to hope. That, and the great animation and action scenes are what I dig about it. Not the greatest anime, but pretty entertaining and exciting. Dub sounds great so far. Very much looking forward to this in English, felt like it's an anime that might work better in English. |

Levi will take some getting used to, but overall, I'm happy with how things are turning out.
For the record, I don't care much for Eren, either. He's not an awful main character or anything, but I don't feel particularly drawn to him. It doesn't help that I see him as the type to use "sheeple" in his common vernacular, at least before he graduated military training. |

Levi sounds perfectly fine to me. But that could also be my bias speaking since I'm actually friends with the voice actor.

My only gripe with that is using the whole name outside the introduction to the gear at training camp. That's a helluva mouthful to say (seems like it would take longer/more lip flap than the Japanese term, which I don't know), and it sounds awkward to spit all that out during a fast-moving battle sequence, when "Engage your mobility gear," would get the point across. Obviously saying OMG would always break the immersion in any scene, but they could shorten it to ODM gear or something. Any military loves it some acronyms. |

The Dub sounds decent. They took the shota right out of Armin. Levi sounds good. Mikasa sounds good.
Its the funimation addition of awful music and ad-libbing that gets to me. The Japanese audio usually has an ambient tone to most series, building emotion and atmosphere. Funimation just seems to turn on the A.D.D. mode when they dub these shows. How many boxsets will they get out of this 25 ep series, eh? |

The people complaining about Omni-Directional Gear are acting like this is blasphemy on the level Nami's mother's poor death-edit job in the 4Kids dub of "One Piece." You might as well be complaining that the Kage Bunshin Jutsu was called the Shadow Clone Jutsu or the Genki Dama being called the Spirit Bomb.
Omni-Directional better defines the item because it goes in multiple directions. It's the same thing, just worded differently. |
