WARNING: SPOILERS INBOUND!!
Let me start off with chapter 19:22 pages 15-33. This part explains more about the scouting legion and how they work. It shows us their intricate formations and the different and several protocols and steps for certain situations. It also shows us that every member needs to be thoroughly educated in the different signs or what to do when certain things happen. It shows that the scouting legion aren't just people who kill titans and aren't choreographed or organized but that they actually do have safety and will do whatever it takes to insure the survival of the members, and really try their hardest to help humanity.
Now I will talk about page 34 on chapter 19:22- page 44 on chapter 20:23. This whole section gives us our first glance at the female titan, which we later find out to be Annie Leonhart. It really expresses her sheer skill, and her power. She is incredibly fast and unpredictable, and can predict other's moves easily. It also shows us (if you don't know that it is Annie) that it is a human titan shifter, because of the way she treated Armin and was directly headed to Eren. It also gives us a tiny bit more mystery as in why Annie wants Eren in the first place. Overall, this was the start of the real story, not the one of humans versus titans, but humans versus humans.

I will start with chapter 18:21 pages 12-31. I enjoyed reading (and watching it on the anime) this part. It shows that Erwin doesn't care about scaring people, or people not joining the scouts. He just cares that everyone knows what's to come, and he only wants the people who are prepared to face that. Most people (pretty much everyone) Was on the verge of breaking down, understandable, but didn't. This shows that they are strong, and are prepared to face the upcoming threats, and deaths, and grief, and pain, and everything and all of it. Overall, I like this part.
I will just share my opinion on chapter 19:22 pages 8-13. I really like how in this part we get to learn a lot more about Jean, the purpose of his actions, and what he thinks of Eren and such. Also, it shows us that yes, he does have an extreme crush on Mikasa, and has no intent of hiding it. This whole part gives us a lot more of character information, and it also shows how Marco's death really changed Jean, and how it really set Jeans current personality and thoughts into action.

On the pages 20, 21 22 of chapter 2 it shows Eren and Mikasa (his “sister”) being carried away by a solder names Hannes. What I would also change is that if his mom actually did die, when his mom just got eaten (on page 22) he could turn the other way and then say a very slight but noticeable message of him being a titan shifter in the future. At this point, he doesn’t have his powers yet, his dad gives them to him after they escape, but it would be cool if, maybe he’s so determined to avenge his mother that he says something like “I don’t care what it takes, what type of monster I’ll have to become, but I will kill every titan in the world,” therefore referencing him becoming a “monster” (titan) and him killing other titans.
I will continue with page 44, 45 and 46 of chapter 4. In this chapter the main character gets eaten (or better said, swallowed) by a titan. What I would change is that all of these events happened way too fast. Chapter 4 is all in the first book, and the book is a manga, so everything gets read quick, and already in the first book, the main character's mom dies, several other characters (non-important) that we just met and could have improved the story dies, and the book makes it look like the main character himself died (he didn’t but he did lose an arm and leg)! Honestly, I would have at least, if the main character had to get swallowed, made it happen in the second book. At least.

I will now start with chapter 16:19 pages 30-60. When Eren made his epic speech, that really hit me, all the words he used, and the amount of energy that he put into his words, really, an amazing part. And when Levi kicked the crap (excuse my language) out of Eren, man, that really showed Levi’s true nature, and how unforgiving he is, especially when he says: “When it comes to teaching somebody discipline, I believe pain is the most effective way.” And I also like it when the trial ends. Overall, I really liked this part.
I will now talk about chapter 17:20 pages 15-28. I really like this part because it really gives us a lot of character detail about Hanji. It tells us that she is not fueled by hatred for the titans, but by curiousness, and the mystery that surrounds the titans. Most people just care about, “Kill all the titans, they are horrible,” but Hanji looks deeper, experimenting upon every slightly mysterious thing she comes across. It also tells us a bit more about titans, about how their only weak spot is the nape of the neck, how they are very very light and other small facts!

I will be starting out with pages 23 to 31 of chapter 11:14… oh my… the speech that is given by Armin, including the “Fights” at the end, it just makes this chapter worthwhile. It bring up hope extremely, and even though it shows death and sadness, it also shows success and accomplishment. It is kind of referring to real life, for you to succeed, to need to fail. In this story, in order for a hard goal to be reached (plugging the hole with a rock), risks and sacrifices need to be made (all of the people that died). It is just a really excellent part and I love it.
I will now be talking about chapter 16:19 pages 4-17. I really like this part because it gives us a bit more mystery, (why a titan was saying the things that it was saying, and what happened to the titan, why was he ripping his face apart) and I like a small, informative, exciting, yet sad story that shows us that there’s more to the titans then meets the eye. Overall, I like this small part.

This will just be a short review. On page 31, chapter 7, we finally see Eren in titan form punching another titan, but what I’m talking about is the buildup before it. on page 23 it starts, with Mikasa’s insanely emotional speech about how she won’t die because she wants to remember Eren, and that Eren wants her to “Fight.” But the wording that is used and how the tone of her voice slowly rises, it really sets the scene for Eren's entrance. That is all I would like to talk about for this part.

Very very short, just would like to say that when Mikasa says that looking at Eren in titan form was like looking at “The physical manifestation of humanity's anger,” I just want to say that I love the wording that was used and the way that it was said. And, it is very much true, so it just sounds amazing.

I will talk about chapter 10 (full volume 3)
pages 61-66. Like the previous, I love this section. It pretty much ends all questions (for now) about Eren’s titan power, because now we know when it happened and how he got them (but, it also raises another question, of how Eren’s dad got that power in the first place). So it’s just good that they put this in there to clear stuff out.
I will now talk about chapter 11:14 pages 9-12. These pages are well done because of the way that Armin ties in their previous (long, long ago) talks about the outside world, and how that mixes into Eren regaining himself and being able to lift the rock. Page 14 and 15 (chapter 14) is just amazing, with that epic scene of Eren carrying the boulder and fulfilling his duty, it just looks amazing.

Attack on Titan manga.
I will be starting with the beginning, chapter 10 page 11 to page 17, which is explaining about the world of titans. I really like this part because it clear a lot of questions that may have come up in the previous chapters about titans. It also gives you a clearer backstory and how everything changes and is different and how everything stays the same in certain ways. Just overall I like this little “recap” of the backstory.
I will talk about chapter 10 pages 30-45. I would just like to say how amazing this section is. When you first read the manga (and have never seen the anime), you get really really surprised at Eren’s titan transformation, and after it doesn’t explain how. Thank the lord that the author decided to let us in on how Eren actually first became titan now, and not later in the story.

For this post I will just be writing a “review” on pages 17 and 18 of chapter 6. In these pages, Eren when he was younger, maybe around 7 or 8, was brutally murdering one of three kidnappers. And I mean brutally. He killed the first person on page 15 by just stabbing him once in the chest, but he killed the second man on pages 17 and 18 with a knife attached to a stick, in the form of a spear, rammed it into the man then proceeded to grab another knife and jump on the man and start brutally slaughtering him while yelling some… rather crude words at him. I mean, it makes sense, if an 8 year old kid was killing someone, he might be quite feisty and might yell some things. But maybe this is taking it a bit too far with the extreme brutality. I mean really? Besides, how does an 8 year old even know how to use a knife to stab someone that perfectly, and how does he know how to wrap a knife around a stick? And on pages 28 and 29 it shows that Mikasa, also 8 at the time perfectly, from behind, stabbed a man straight in the heart! Might have gone a bit too far on that part, but I won’t stress it too much.

Ok, with that out of the way, I will be doing the Attack on Titan manga. The part that I am doing is chapter 2 (of the first manga) page 20, 21, and 22.
The question that I will be doing is: “If you could change one [might be a few exceptions] thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it? How would you change it?” So, this is what I would change.
In the pages listed above (20, 21 22 of chapter 2), Eren’s (the main character) mom dies, by getting eaten by a titan. You can clearly see it in a few frames, her being squished, and her legs sticking out of the titans mouth (did I mention that this book could be a bit, how do you say it, gory?) If I could change one thing in the book, I might change that it says that the mother gets eaten, but never actually shows it. How? Maybe instead of on pages 21 and 22, the frames of her being grabbed and eaten, It could instead show in the background something very slightly different, that may hint that she survived. And that words that say that she died would be coming from Eren, because he thinks that she died, therefore her being able to come back later in the book and surprise you really, really, hard.
