User blog comment:KLanders/How long did it take you to finish watching the AoT Anime?/@comment-24036697-20160713205454

I saw the anime, before reading the manga, with my sister (don't remember when). I've watched it twice all the way through (loved it both times), and I've read the entire manga (up to the most recent chapter) once through. I intend to read the whole thing again when the manga is completed.

While there are some divergences from the manga, any adaptation is going to have some differences from the source material. I feel that AoT's are minimal, though, and I love the anime just as much as the manga.

Oh, also: don't remember how long it took to watch the anime, but I read the whole manga (up to chapter 78 at the time) in two weeks (that's probably slow, but I work almost 40-hrs per week, and I'm not the fastest reader ever so I think that's a fair timespan).
