2.0

Well the good news is this was better than volume 1. The bad news? It's still rough.

This volume focuses on the escape of our main hero. He's the titan boy we've all come to love and know. Just kidding. Anyway he escapes with his beloved blond cliche anime friend into the world to find a, you guessed it, a titan! Well shit, that can't turn out well right? He's just a normal dude going face to face with a titan.

What I liked: The pacing is far quicker and better IMO. I liked the idea of showing out the units got together again to make the guards. It's their pre-badass stage when they get their equipment so basically just a bunch of sitting ducks. Also was cool to see that even the main character can get hurt pretty bad.

The bad: Well, it's got some really rough art that I can't tell what in the fuck is happening! I also think the leads are pretty boring. One just kind of there, the girl kind of there, no one doing much. Also the mentality behind the main lead is dumb.

So yeah, it's more entertaining than the last but I'm still going 2.5/5 and hitting it with a 2/5 because I KNOW it can be better and that's the worst part of it. So come on Before the Fall! I'll give you 2 more volumes to prove your worth!
