Dammit, this makes me want to rewatch the anime. I saw season 1 ages ago, but never watched the future seasons when they came out. I remembered how dark and gory the show was -- while also trending increasingly toward the silly, I felt. So I never continued. But this reminds me how compelling and different the set-up is. What an intriguing, original, and gut-punchy premise! Some of the action is a bit harder to follow in the manga, and the background characters don't pop as much, but it's hard not to be hooked.

*grumble* Off to Hulu I guess...

I just finished watching the anime yesterday and it is crazy how much foreshadowing there was in the beginning and also how much Isayama's art style has improved since.
