I got a note to check out the entirety of published Attack on Titan videos on Crunchyroll before it enters a blackout so Cartoon Network can air it.
Let me just say, ITS AWESOME!
Its late and you're gonna have to hurry but you can check it out here.
While just drinking in the flick it occurred to me. Are we seeing a metaphor for the Japanese vs. China issue? I mean think about it. Japan can be considered a walled city...with the ocean standing in for the walls in the movie. The Survey Corps (or Scouting Legion) can be thought of as the Japanese Marine Corps...and of course the crazy Titans can be thought of as the Chinese military and people...an enemy that wants to gobble up its neighbors for no rational reason but seemingly only for the glory of the kill.
Even the fact that they named the walled cities can be considered an allegory for the Japanese Islands!
If you trash my idea thats fine. But if you're into anime check this out quick...oh and they're making a season 2 as we speak, plus there is a Manga (never been into it but I'll check this one out) that is suppose to be fairly impressive so watch the videos, check out the Manga and let me know if you like it.
