For the person reading this message, know that God loves you a lot and he wants you to be saved and happy, nothing in this world like money, fun or popularity can fill the emptiness in your heart, but only his son Jesus who died for you can fill you who might not know about him, he knows you more than yourself, you who turned your back to him, he is still waiting for you with his arms open to receive you again, you who fought against him and had done things that are unforgivable in your eyes, he will always see you as his son and he already paid the price for all your sins, even if the world doesn’t forgive you, all that you need is God and everything will be alright, so trust God and only God, no one else, repent from your sins and never go back to them, and the most important thing is that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior with your voice and your heart, when you do all these things, pray to God and read the Bible(Christian Bible not a Catholic since the Catholic one might’ve changed the word of God to something that it is not God’s word but men’s, so read a christian Bible) so that you get to know God, and when you pray ask God to guide you so that you always walk in his righteousness and so that he gives you strength so you don’t fall to sin, and don’t just say I am a Christian and never read your bible or end up not praying, build a relationship with God, read the Bible, fast and pray and be his son not only in words but also in your actions, please listen to this message, today God has showed you grace, to you who might be depressed, empty, are being hated or hates, or maybe you don’t receive genuine love, even you who enjoys or is comfortable with his current life, whoever you who is reading this is, know that God is calling you to give you a future and a hope, in this life and in the eternal life, trust him because he loves you so much that you can’t even understand it, and the time is short, after this message you might day or Jesus might return, so be ready and follow him, for today he stretched his hand to you because he loves you and cares for you, and he doesn’t want you to go to hell, so please go to him, I promise you that it will be the best decision you will do in your entire existence and that God will free you from anything that hurts you, take the love and hope the Lord is giving you and be free, for the best future for your life is in his hands, please make the right choice, for today God has stretched his hand to you who he loves so much that he even died for knowing all the bad things you have done, that is how much love he has and will always have for you❤️ Sorry for the long paragraph and thank you for taking the time to read it, please if you have any way to contact the people on this video please send them this message, it might not seem like it but some people really need hope and God can change or save someone’s life and give hope to the hopeless by you just sending them this message, thank you for reading, God Bless and your loved ones you always.

The mystery part you are saying is just something thats really beautiful even if you figure it out. You cant just say it's easy to think of specially when it takes you atleast 2 or 3 times to reread the story just to understand it fully.

@@hi_238 aot hasnt that realistic philosphy at all. U may find there are some contrary interest or objetives between character. But most philosophy is superficial in aot. U wont find deep philosophy as in Texhnolyze, for example. Most os subjects or schemes are very superficial and use to drive the story but they arent part of the story discussion at all( in example: politics and social drawinism). And izayama is rigth, this isnt even close to be in some degree an academic approach.

And the reference about 20th century Europe. Isayama is ice💎. anyone who says otherwise, is going against the fact that even this interview exists.

It depends, when you’re at school it’s a must to learn things even if you don’t like them or are good at but Hajime enjoys writing and drawing so having to comprehend “politics” in the way to adapt it to his manga, must be fun to learn that way :)

[@ghostie7790]

RIGHT?

[@OMGYasuke]

You do realize a lot of writers do a shit ton of research for the story they're going to write? So maybe Isayama just read a shit ton of books about politics lol.

I admit his drawing pushes me away so many time from the manga, it’s the anime drew me in again, and I’m happy I didn’t missed this masterpiece. The depth, character development and the philosophy behind it is so relevant to our world. As he rightly put, the idea of the story is universal. I thank you for not giving up, and thank the publisher for not giving this gem a missed opportunity
