[Tangent Engaged--Ed.] Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni--"When the Higurashi/Cicadas Cry" but known as "When They Cry" in English is a good anime/manga series based on sound novels. They start as what may appear to be Happy Happy Joy Joy Stupid Anime then reveal the awful horror. Gutt-wrenching. Not graphic as in "shock." Emotional. Worth the watch and, yes, the story is finished. Very imaginative once you figure out what is going on and, yes, it will eventually explain it.

Game of Thrones? I like the books. He may finish the series. . . someday.

''Attack On Titan is the one time I neglected to do that and I've learned my lesson. ''

Well, what can you do? If you wait until it is finished, then you may get it spoiled--"THE BASEMENT HAS A COOKBOOK! A COOKBOOK!!!!111!!--which makes, for me, hard to enjoy a series.

''It's been more than three years since she appeared in the story in any meaningful form. ''

And how long for Annie? He is being realistic in that Whatever is Happening to either of them, it is "off the grid" as far as most characters. The only objection I would have is if, say, suddenly Titan Ymir arrived to SMASH Bertoldt to SAVE THE DAY and all of that crap.

I get the frustration. "Ymirsama" was probably not a "throwaway" or "hey, this will copulate the readership! HA!HA!HA!HA!" We do not know what it is so it is frustrating. Just as we are "frustrated" that we do not know what Annie, Bertoldt, and Reiner knows. I would imagine most of us are not exactly too fond of torture unless it involves a coworder who Displeases Us--but how many of us wanted Hanje and Levi to "break" the priest because WE WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE ARE LIVING TITANS IN THE WALLS!!11!

Patience, My Dear Tausendberg! Patience!
