Just finished catching up to the manga, I think I spent 10+ hours reading it all =p There is no way this anime is going to finish the story. Feels like the story is around the mid way point right now. Just like with Claymore, it'll come down to two option:

A. Japan likes the anime so the anime stays canon with the manga then stops for a season 2 in a couple of years.

B. Japan doesn't like the anime, it's not making money, so they canon until a certain point to where the manga is currently at, then do an anime original ending.

I have to say I really like how fleshed out these side characters are. Originally I thought I would like Mikasa the most but instead I ended up liking some of Eren's trainee squadmates a lot more when they reveal some backstory such as

Annie
who is my favourite.

ep4 is out. I love how they add english rock songs to the anime. They probably got the idea that music like that can work after Metal Gear Rising =p

ep 4

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! why did it have to end on a cliffhanger like that. I'm swore to hold off on reading the manga until I finished the anime but it's getting really difficult now. really am curious about the backstory behind the titans, hope it's well explained

edit: ok, I cheated and read a couple chapters ahead in the manga, and now there's even more unanswered questions lol, guess i'll just catch up with the manga at this point, but this series is seriously epic

Completely agree! I just finished catching up with the manga :shock: I want the next chapter now!

I love the way the anime is adapting the series though. It changed the story around to be chronological and the animation continues to amaze me (not to mention I absolutely love the opening song)

not going to work, with all the crap that's going to be coming out in the next few eps I would have eventually given in and read it anyway. I can't believe only 1 chapter comes out a month for this series. The author throws curve balls every other chapter with new developments and theories on what the hell is going on.

Is this seriously his first manga? can't find any others drawn by him. If so it's an amazing debut

^ they'll give in when they see the end of the next ep, if I'm right in guessing at what point the next episode will end =)
