I feel like the pigs thing was just Iseyama's way of trying to emphasize of how something small can cause a major butterfly effect, but it's ineffective because the pig stuff is laughable, if it was anything else it would've been fine.

I agree, I'd totally be on board with how this story is going if it was a herd of goats instead of some pigs.

So I looked at the wiki out of boredom and found this travesty:

Is this autism official?

I just read through the OP and feel like I've been exposed to concentrated Gamma-level schizophrenia. My sectionable aunt ranting about Jesus being the King of the Moonmen makes more sense. I fully expect for snakes to begin physically manifesting in my house.

This. To further explain, the pig explanation doesn't work for the following reasons:

• The sheer silliness of it doesn't mesh well at all with the rest of the series and causes incredible tonal whiplash. The series up until that point had serious, generally plausible explanations for why things happened (even if some of them were still really stupid), and suddenly having a kid letting out some pigs being the cause of everything just feels incredibly forced, trivial, and needlessly petty. It'd be like if the only reason Light hated criminals in Death Note is because one stole his candy when he was a toddler.
• Even though 2000 years has passed in-series, it still doesn't feel like enough time for the entire world to hate the Eldians, at least not to the ridiculous extent that they do. In the original story where the term butterfly effect comes from, literally millions of years pass, and that makes what happens in the story feel plausible because enough time has gone by. Now, a lot can obviously happen in 2000 years, but we're not shown what, so it makes the entire world hating the Eldians enough to want to genocide them for something that happened two millennia ago just seem fucking insane, and stupid.

1. Honestly I think if it were any other animal (like a goat, sheep, horse, or cow) it probably would've had a better effect especially sheep and the like, and letting the pigs out had a dire consequence for the village that could've ruined it. Pigs are inherently silly by nature unless done well (like in the likes of as an allegory like Animal Farm)

2. I disagree on this, I think 2000 years could work, but really I think it shouldn't have been the entire world and make the Eldian issue more divisive. If the world was divided then it could've also made Eren's plan have a bigger impact because he would even kill those who aren't hateful of Eldians which would show how unhinged and crazy he is while he himself thinks what he's doing is a good thing.

Releasing farm animals in any context being an allegory for muh freedom is always gay. If one were to let pigs free from a fencing they would wander near the village because they are fucking tame. I've chased "escaped" farm animals too many times to count.

Its 2000 years because they're Jews and that was when Jesus died.

Was he too subtle about the magic jew thing?

 

[Cryogonal]

At this point I'd love if Isayama went full Nomura and had it turn out that Erin fucking with time so much summoned timeline jannies via paths to eternally imprison Erin for his crimes. Hell, he could just have the Attack Titan inheritors of yore return to do it with their apparent time travel powers.

I just watched the first episode of season 4 and what the fuck is happening?
A 9 year skip into the future in the crimean war with titans?

It's actually really simple, there's just a lot of characters and most of them don't matter.
All you need to know is that Eren's actions are completely justified and Historia is best girl.

Isayama was fed up with writing about giant naked zombies, and wanted to write about how the Nazis were totally awesome and how the Jews were totally responsible for their own extermination, and how Japan obviously would've won WWII if they had giant Kaiju, and god powers.

It's so simple.

I don't know why none of you can follow this.

 

[WinchesterPremium]

Second episode keeps quality consistent. There is something off about some of the motions, but nothing noticeable when anything important was happening.

She doesn't even make top three you're clearly confused.

After manga and anime Saikano: The Last Love Song on This Little Planet

Spoiler

protagonist single-handedly killed xenocided the human species during the 00ies United States war with Japan. I am failing to see why people are now giving a shit whether AoT would go the same route of kill them all. Especially when the fart huffing weeboos were practically raving over Saikano having done it.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

The second episode seems to also be quite good as well. Though I've noticed some of the movements felt computer generated yet it didn't seem to be too distracting...

Aside from that the music, lighting, and general direction of the animation is pretty good.

If this keeps up to the end then I guess AOT is probably going to be carried hard by the anime adaptation especially with most AOT fans being those who watch the anime rather than read the manga.

I wonder how this will all go in 16 episodes though unless they make some pretty big cuts or there is a second cour.

Literally nobody watched Saikano while AoT went mainstream with Toonami

I am leaning toward Isayama being one of handful who did read or watched it with the way AoT had been going.

I think the deciding factor is whether, or not they decided to follow the original manga.

If this thing still ends in global genocide to end racism because of some pigs getting let out over 2000 years ago, it's still over for this series.

I think it depends on the presentation, since any stupid idea can work if it's presented well or if the stupid parts aren't focused on. If they focus too much on the pigs then it could be a problem, we'll really just have to wait and see since it is still two episodes in.
