Aug 12 20:38:33 <Z-Gryphon> In other news, I've randomly gotten curious about a handful of things The Kids Are Into these days and done some investigating. I am deeply disappointed that "Attack on Titan" is -not- about a space war breaking out between the colonized moons of Saturn.
Aug 12 20:40:12 <Philip-M> ... eyaaaah, you probably want to stay as far away from Attack on Titan as humanly possible. IT IS NOT FOR YOU.
Aug 12 20:43:16 <Z-Gryphon> oh come on, how could a bleak post-apocalyptic fantasy about cannibalistic giants NOT be for me?
Aug 12 20:43:16 <Z-Gryphon> :)
Aug 12 20:43:58 <Philip-M> Heh.
Aug 12 20:49:31 <Z-Gryphon> It does look pretty daft, though. Particularly the weird-ass Hero Equipment, which seems like it's basically people trying to fight giants with the invention Thomas Midgley (inventor of CFCs and leaded gasoline) accidentally killed himself with.

Aug 12 20:51:06 <Z-Gryphon> which seems ill-advised on a lot of levels.
