@Nes Ally Reiner is the best written character of AOT with Eren too

His favorite used to be Ymir so I wouldn’t be so sure of that

Reiner is his favorite but he wont stop tormenting him! I love Isayama!

Demetrious, you should've read the manga before this interview. You might've been able to slip some info out of him. Good interview nonetheless.

[@irontroll3320]

Yeah, I think so. But, thanks to the studio they don't change anything crucial from the manga

He did read the manga, he said that Ymir made a deal with the Devil and becomes titan, isn't that a stuff from the manga chapter 122 ?

S4 is the final season. it will end during the Fall next year in Japan. perhaps Mr. Isayama can make the spa Attack on Titan as the theme. but I will definitely see the next live adaption movie of the anime

[@omarsabir1210]

It's gonna be a 2-parter. The ending won't be until 2021

[@scaramri782]

45 pages is normal for a monthly manga. Nothing to be shocked.

[@ngozio.9347]

@@scaramri782 normal doesn’t mean healthy, mangaka are often overworked without adequate financial compensation and even if they are paid for their labor the demand is so high. I really hope he takes a break after this because he’s giving AoT his all to the end, even with what is being added to the anime because it makes the story better from his perspective. Truly dedicated

[@gatsbymovingrubber]

love it when anime or movies in general use real martial arts moves into their work and not just flashy moves. Attack on titan and john wick do this. Series like these you can point out a bunch of moves if you practice martial arts.

[@KrimzunFlare]

This is the most random crossover. But Isayama is a huge MMA fan. He based Reiner off of Brock Lesnar, so I suppose there is a connection.
