where did he get the name erwin from, though?

Lmao I'm crying a little in hilarity because apparently Isayama based Erwin off of Ozymandias (from Watchmen) and Levi off of Rorschach (same), based on this blog post he made: http://blog.livedoor.jp/isayamahazime/archives/7964052.html

AND LMAO BASED ERWIN'S APPEARANCE OFF OF THAT MIDDLE GUY FROM THAT PARIS HILTON VIDEO HE LINKED?? OMG.

(between that and him picking the name "Levi" from Jesus Camp, it seems Isayama has a pretty lmao varied taste in media)

But yeah Ozymandias and Rorschach. Going from that, their story isn't going to end well gheugehguh. I hope not. I JUST WANT HAPPY ENDINGS FOR EVERYONE. ;;

(and now I'm going to reread Watchmen because it's been years since I've read it and I barely remember anything other than barebones plot stuff)

On other topic, I'm on LINE (velshtein) now for all you smartphone chatting aficionados who want to listen to me complain about such thrilling topics such as internet ads:

So add me if you want. XD

The comic is much better at characterization than the movie, but the movie is okay if you just want to know the plot. There's a lot of Ozymandias in Erwin but I honestly can't see much of any Rorsharch in Levi.

There's also a set of prequel comics (Before Watchmen): Ozymandias's is really good (and gorgeous artwise) and the others are okay-ish. But you shouldn't read those unless you don't care about being majorly spoiled for Watchmen.

GETTING INSPIRATION FROM A PARIS HILTON VIDEO = SOMETHING GREAT. XD

omg awesome (is there any place you'd recommend reading the comics online?? :3 ESPECIALLY WORST TIMING SINCE I'M AT A PLACE WITH NO AMERICAN COMICS)
