I don't care if the Japanese approved of her playing Armin, I feel that the voice that Marina gave Armin is way too annoying to the point that she was miscast. Personally, I think this is 1 of those "it's possible for even the Japanese director or creator to make a mistake in approving a voice for 1 of their characters".

The picture, however, looks nice.

I couldn't disagree more. Marina Inoue is extremely talented and not only gifted the series with her voice as Armin but also as the narrator. I never once questioned her voice work as Armin because it is so suitable for that character. I guess it's just preferences, but I have never heard anyone else in the fandom or on the internet complain.

I really don't see how such a negative comment was relevant to the article anyhow.

The article mention's Armin's voice actor, and while his comment had nothing entirely to do with what the article was about, there's more than enough of a link between Armin's voice actor being mentioned for him to make a comment about her.

It's one of those wrong time, wrong place comments.

I thought the voice was perfect when I heard it back then and I still do now. Studios screw up the voice casting all the time, though.

I wonder if that's means, the drawings will be improved in the upcoming chapters?

I personally don't have a problem with his drawing. The plot already is good enough so I'm enjoying alot here.

This happens a lot and it seems that the Eng. dub side is on the insult side a lot more than the Japanese side. Criticism can and do work both ways.

True, I just got a little wound up because Marina as Armin has grown on me for the past 2 years, and I never had any problem from the start.

His artwork really has been improving throughout the series.

^ That is a very good example. Excited to see what it looks like even more by the finish of the series. But I agree, that regardless, his plot is so intriguing that the art doesn't matter too much.

I agree. I still get chills when I hear his speech in episode 10.

Also didn't Isayama do this before? I think it was of the VAs taking a selfie. They're honestly hilarious.
