Genre – Anime Comedy Series
Movie Total Runtime – 3 Hour 24 Minutes
Spoilers – Not Really
So, I’ve never watched the original Attack on Titan. I’ve heard good things about it. This wasn’t a RiteStuff blind box, but a title so absurd I bought it on its own. I have a habit of being willing to give the most absurd concepts a fair shake – at least when it’s from Japan. So, an official middle school alternate universe Attack on Titan anime nabbed my attention more than the original series. The first episode establishes a few things rather succinctly. Yes, this is a comedy, and no, slapstick is not off limits as the main character literally collides with every other student character on their way to the first day causing catastrophes with their lunches. They then wander into the wrong wing of the school, ending up in the Titan side where everything is Titan scale before someone gets them back where they belong.
Now, I do know that in the original, the Titans had this habit of eating people and thus causing tragedy for the surviving characters. This is ill-fitting for the comedic tone of this show. So instead of eating people, the Titans have a habit of eating people’s lunches. And the main character really likes his hamburgers. He very much wants to join a club dedicated to beating up Titans for the crime of eating his food. No such club officially exists, and those that are officially recognized are all Titan-dominated. They find the unofficial anti-Titan club. At this point we’ve collected so many characters that I can’t keep track. I suspect this is because the creators mainly expected fans of the main series to be the ones to pick this up.
With episodes only seventeen minutes long, it has to keep up a fast pace and keep the individual plots short. This avoids beating a dead horse joke. I do suspect there are jokes I am missing from having not watched the original, and the ones I do get fall into “I saw that coming” or “I should have seen that coming” for the most part.
Since the cast didn’t join an official club, they get dropped into the “Wall Cleaning Club” which does janitorial tasks. However, since a whole section of the school is Titan-sized, they use the distinctive wire rig from the primary source to reach the areas humans would not otherwise be able to get to. The main character sees the possibility of using them to attack the titans – even if he’s accident-prone to the extreme.
As I go through the episodes, it appears to alternate between source inspired and school inspired plots. This is not a hard and fast rule, but when an episode leans into one part of one genre or the other it sometimes lets the other slip into mere background detail. This isn’t such a bad thing. It does make them more coherent.
I have to give them credit (pun intended) for the opening credits. Most of the time when binging a series, I will skip them after a while. I’ve found myself sitting there, letting it play out. I can’t point to any one aspect. The music is good but not “put it into a playlist and listen to it on its own” good. It does fit with the visuals well and I’m not generally driven to find the start of the episode proper when it starts.
Some of the gags are just randomness. I admit to having laughed at this – cut from the dialog “How does he sleep like that” to this image.
That episode however marked the first “pause to let the cringe subside” moment. The plot of that particular one is very much “school” and revolves around trying to set up the odd sleeper with his crush. The plans fail in awkward ways. The episode does redeem itself when the two get away from the crowd instead and interact more directly.
I’m having a hard time stretching the review out to my normal word count, not because of anything wrong with the show, but because of a lack of things that strike me as worth talking about. And I don’t think there’s a point at summarizing the plots of all twelve episodes. I suspect it’s cribbing major Titan-related plot points from the original source material. But this is merely an impression.
Ultimately, the show is… okay. On the better side of okay, but there are so many caveats in the form of “If you like… then…” that I can’t simply recommend it. It won’t hurt you though.
Rather than torture this review to make it reach word count, I’m going to wrap up here.
Hrmm… $200 for all of the inspiration series? Seems steep, but I have heard good things.
Such a bizarre concept, given the original show.
Seems innocent, better-crafted than ‘normal,’ I s’pose. My bar for kids’ entertainment is very low, so that’s a pretty big win for them. *shrug*
Did ya sit through all 3 Hours & 24 Minutes? *scratches head* Where does this time come from? Just a bit every day, big binge, constant background viewing when kinda otherwise occupied?
*brow remains furrowed*
I will tend to designate a block of time, usually on a weekend, or after work and chrun through as much as I could.
OT LOL… This is the commie behind the commie that somehow got elected to run NYC.
TW;Mime 🙊
And yet voters take the new mayor seriously.
Well, maybe the small percentage who actually bother to vote.
Considering the power he has to fuck things up, yes, one does have to take it seriously.
Better use it soon or it’ll grow together and close up.

She obviously has never worked on a Swalwell campaign.
Bazinga
Find it hard to believe she’s never been asked for a date.
Maybe she just didn’t realize that she was being asked out when it happened?
She’s found her grift.
She better settle or she’ll never have kids.
Her – “I guess I could settle for a 6,6,6, who makes only seven figures.”
Well shucks.
I missed it by that much.
I especially love the underlying idea there that anyone who did manage to get laid before they become middle-aged must have “settled” LOL
She just doesn’t have time for sex because she is so focused on her career. That is the difficult day-to-day grind of… a professional virgin.
Swalweasel drops out. Watch all of the allegations melt away and he continues as elder statesman in the congressional delegation.
Fuck.
I mean, I’m a good guy. Somebody give her my number.
Dude. You can’t see her below the waist. Probably has genital warts.
Or perhaps teeth .
I more or less knew what it would be and I still clicked the link. Shame on me.
Underated movie.
Mornin’ Lynx brought word of the land of Evan! Eville’s the county seat of Vanderburgh County: “United States District Court for Southern Indiana Judge Richard Young (said) 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦 𝐨𝐟 “𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭” 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐱 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐝.

Apologies. I was just bolding the best bits, but all is too pertinent. WTF, indeed. Biggest Q: What the fuck is in it for the judge? Looking for promotion? Eville ain’t exactly True Blue land.
The pictures of Richardson are frightful. University of Evansville is known for it’s acting program. I knew about Jack McBrayer as Kenneth Parcell in 30 Rock. I just learned Rami Malek, who played Freddie in a recent Queen flick I haven’t seen, is also an alumni.
Think about it. *taps noggin*
Chaos is whats in it for the judge.
I’ll give that guy a snip.
Interesting. I have no interest in the Queen movie but he’s fantastic in Mr. Robot, of which I am in the middle of S02 on Tubi.
I actually remembered him earlier from some stupid sitcom where he played the teen protagonist’s “ambiguously gay friend”.
The exterior for the house in Rosanne is in Eville, same street where I hung out w college folk as a senior in HS. Half-creator Matt Williams is from Eville.
Nice. I always wondered what that weird dormer window halfway between the first and second floors was.
Off topic: is Al Green the ugliest person in Congress? Is he even human?
I don’t think it’s even possible to pick an “ugliest congresscritter”. Yuck.
The opposite side is more fun. Omar was my winner, but she’s growing a paunch. Big Evvie No-No.
Way to rule out 90% of Americans
“So you’re saying 95% of people are undate-able?!” ~Elaine
“UNDATEABLE!” ~Jerry
I’m not mean about it. I’m a fit ~130lb and I’ve got a bit of the ‘I like my cuddly lady to be smaller than me’ thing going on. Past high school, I’ve always been the smaller in my pairings. *shrug*
A paunch is the sign of being first world.
Evan refuses to settle!!!! 😉
lol Report back to us in 20 years.
(I’d settle for a squirrel at this point, frankly.)
By far, having in-the-ballpark morals and interests, and being funny-smart are ‘necessary,’ most important to me, but ‘quite out of shape’ would have to be pretty well balanced by other factors for me to be interested in that way.
I’m a fitish 240
“Is he even human?”
————-
Al Green is human but A.I. Green is not…
Whenever I read stories like this, I rethink my opposition to capital punishment.

Killing them is too easy; they need to suffer for years.
An endless line of fucks like this can be sent to my place and I’ll do them for 12 hours a day and won’t ever tire of it.
What does Warty say? Physiognomy wins again, or something like that.
There is an evolutionary reason it sets off our Spidy sense.
Have you watched the Attack on Titan?
I’ve been curious but I’ve not started it. I know it was fairly big.
I have not.
This sounds like a form of detention that would violate American union rules. 🤔
Tox to me, earlier:
E.
E!

*Thinking Helmet strapped firmly* No, but interesting idea! (I wonder what it’s worth…. It’s got a strong Wolverine-y musk. That may play with the lissome lonesome lasses up North…)
What was the toe-tag they put on Frank Burns when he was written off of MASH ?
“Emotionally exhausted. Morally Bankrupt.”
Thanks how I feel.
What’s going on Tres? Jugsy problems?
Did you just demolish a whole pizza? Bread is your enemy.
Eeek. Darkest before dawn.
(Be like that dude, a previous victim of 80s FBI shooters in Miami, who got shot three times but still got up and walked three miles to get help.
Well. Don’t get shot, but I think ya follow my drift.)
This is the first “Unwatched” review that has interested me in watching the reviewed material.
Is it more the eclectic mix of materials, or my horrible reviewing style?
Yes.
The only 17-min investment.
FWIW your materials are rarely of any interest to me but…
…IMHO I would not worry about this at all. Keep the reviews short & sweet. Don’t give too much plot, but enough flavor for any interested parties.
Rhy – I start out just writing, I have a target length of 1k-1500 words as the “Glibs digestable” length that works best for articles. I avoid going below 800 as not providing enough for the readers, and if I push 2k, I’ll look to see if I can split the review.
What I avoid doing is adding words for the sake of adding words, but I will think if there is anything I can commentate on to help reach the target range when things fall short during the initial draft.
I’m a brevity is the soul of wit person so don’t mind me. I’m not a writer but for reviews I think less is better.
OTOH I love big, detailed doorstopper books.
Is it more the eclectic mix of materials, or my horrible reviewing style?
I lean towards the absurd sort of anime. Some serious themes woven in is good, but, for example, I thought The Devil Is A Part Timer (the one season I could watch on Netflix) was great.
Swalweasel drops out. Watch all of the allegations melt away and he continues as elder statesman in the congressional delegation.
No idea. His usefulness is over so I can equally see him being tossed out like yesterday’s garbage, especially since he has always been so obviously loathsome.
I think he gave up his seat in Congress (as in, isn’t running for it this year) to run for Gov.
So he’s gone, baby, gone.
I found my Google search of him humorous. https://ibb.co/LDjMmckF
Imagine a repub winning because of Swallwell. His life won’t be worth spit.
It’s hard to believe they’re dumping him just to attempt to award the position to… Katie fucking Porter but here we are.
Katie Porter.
BARF.
First femal governor of CA! Historic!
Historic and sexy!
I mean, she’s unattractive and stuff, but I would really expect universal disapproval based on her repellant politics.

Wow.
wtf is wrong with me? Can’t thred for shit tonight.
Unfortunately a large swath is on board with those policies and an even larger swath will vote blue no matter who.
Well. I looked up Porter and, Christ, I need Him after looking at that. I’ll pinch-hit as Religious if it’ll help me out here.
All those democrats have zero shame and will double down until the end. So far on the right only Trump has learned that technique.
Swalwell will not drop out, even if it meant destroying his own party.
I didn’t think he would drop out but supposedly he has.
I wonder, hope, the Stupid Party is smart enough to repeatedly pile on the ‘Well, it was a known secret for a long time…’ and other vacant apologies for supporting Swalwell, adding his prior Fang Fang honey trappings, and also go after all those the Higher Ups supported and put obscene pressure on all of ’em.
It’s late and I hope I expressed that reasonably well. (Sorta.) Naturally, I expect that to *not* occur, but hope is fun.

Wow.
Rest, child.
Check out how the Cubs game went.
There’s a barber shop near me where the owner is a huge Cubs fan. Walls are painted, always has games on.

I’ve infiltrated several “antifa” Facebook groups of late to shitpost and show the commies the power of the First.
It’s rather fun to see how literally anything and everything they don’t like gets described as fascism which they define as generic shit like racism and even transphobia (Hitler’s third pillar of fascism, I’m told). I’ve always found the attempt to link fascism to superiority based on race rather intellectually lazy. Mussolini had little to no focus on race initially. Cultural and national superiority? Sure, but that’s even more generic than racism as a defining characteristic. I mean I can accept if these clowns or academics want to ascribe various forms of hate or supremacy to fascism, but there has to be a lot more to it than just that obviously.
They are rather silent on the economic beliefs of fascists even when pressed. No one wants to really even begin to explore the whole socialist part of the national socialism thing.
Then you get the commies who just equate capitalism with fascism. Or the atheists who think religion is a crucial part of fascism based on absolutely nothing but their dislike of conservative Christians in the context of America.
Then there’s the one guy who runs around accusing anyone of asking subversive questions (like me) of being a bot. Like which enemy does this dude think is sending around all these paid trolls or bots to harass some lameass “antifa” commie fucks who think the revolution is going to start on Facebook?
Most of these clowns were garden variety Democrats five minutes ago no matter how “leftwing” they pretend to be now.
And yes, there are a crazy number of people whose gender identity is completely unintelligible.
As has been said elsewhere, Leftists project. They only ever project. They cannot conceive of anyone NOT thinking like themselves. Therefore anyone who doesn’t think like them is either stupid, crazy, evil, or some combination thereof.
If I fell asleep in that position I would end up in traction.
Hidey ho, neighborinos!

I do remember that Rand Paul’s neighborino was charged (for charging)
Good morning, Sean, U, and Ted’S.!
Morning, GT.
How goes things with you?
So far, so good…but it’s early yet. How are you?
I ordered a remote PDU so I can turn off my 3D printer from the living room.
I’m using thinking about the improvements there to avoid thinking about other stuff.
I’d like to do that myself…but I don’t think I’ll get a 3D printer.
I’m also eating pepper jack for some reason. Probably because it was the cheese I grabbed in my “I need breakfast but am really really not motivated to make it.”
Oh, I could give you one of my old printers. Though it’s probably a bad idea, since the one easiest to use for a beginner is open-frame, and with cats around, it’s a bad idea.
I hope you have plenty of cold caffeinated beverage to wash it down!
The cat can get stuck in the printer, a la The Fly.
Or, GT could 3D print a new cat.
And yes, I can think of one cat in particular who would be curious about it. Had to call for service on the furnace Saturday, and Ninja Cat was VERY interested in what the technician was doing.

New witness video shows someone in a mask sprinting away with a handgun.
Obviously an ICE agent.
If it were Batman he would have had a mask but no gun. It must have been Fauci.
Well, couldn’t NJ ban guns? What’s up with those people.
Also, I’ll bet Chic-A-Fila didn’t have a “Clear all Weapons before Entering” sign up. It’s sort of an unwritten rule around here.
