Hey guys! Winners for the giveaway in this video have been announced in my community tab so be sure to check there to see if you won! Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats to the winners!

I haven’t started reading or watching Attack on Titan yet but I plan on picking up the volumes after binging the anime once the final season is out. So thanks for this video, I think I’ll be going for the Colossal Edition from the points you made. 🤩

Immersion and attention to detail is the most important to me. Which is why I went with the colossals. This series is definitely meant to have these titans straight in your face while reading through it and see the amazing details of the characters and titans. But I absolutely hate that they're paperbacks and the front artwork is the worst compared to the rest. Really just think they're cheaping out to mass produce this series as much and as quickly as they can. They're also releasing a colored hardcover of certain chapters in February. Idk how many volumes there will be since it will be labeled as volume 1, but kind if stupid to do certain chapters instead of the whole series IMHO. They're really cutting all the corners we're asking for 😂

I'm collecting the colossal editions because the artwork just looks so good in that large format and I love the deep black ink contrasting with the white glossy paper.

There is actually a hardcover release - it‘s in German. The "Attack on Titan Deluxe" volumes feature hardcover AND colored pages, include 3 volumes and cost 25€ =28 USD

The extras with the box sets have improved greatly over time. Both the season 3 boxes have an extra book of short stories and it looks like final season part 1 includes two books of these short stories. A pretty nice extra read while going through the series.

As someone just getting into Manga this was super informative, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you!

This video was incredible. Awesome editing and organization and information all around. Thank you so much!

Great video, ever since I got my Colossal edition 6 from the mail, I couldn't stop worshipping every page as it was like an actual art book. Every panel makes me fill with joy.

Such a thorough review. Exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you much.

Just crossed around this channel on the the recommended. Really like the informative breakdown as I also collect manga. Now I need to catch up on the rest of your videos!!!

For me I’m collecting the omnibuses as I like how the covers feel and have like a 3d look to them, also they are the cheapest and my tbr log is so long I can wait for them to be fully released lol

This was really concise and helpful. Appreciated this.

Great content 🙏🏼 I was so confused which one I should go for now it’s crystal clear to me.

Thanks for making this, I was a bit lost looking at all the different versions.

A phenomenal detailed review! I appreciate how much detail you went into :)

Great comparison video and thanks for including all of the pricing info and release dates as well! I'm definitely looking into purchasing the entire AoT manga set one day, but it looks like I'll just wait to see what other versions they may release in the future first. AoT is such a huge franchise that I'm 100% sure availability won't be an issue as they'll just keep printing it for years to come.

I love these comparison videos and I wish there was more out there for each series!!!

Probably one of the best comparisons till date, I really would like to collect the colassol editions cause of the print quality. I started watching Aot just yesterday and am already Loving It :D

I've been collecting the box sets, I like how they're broken up by season/part and the exclusive poster/stickers included. I have S1-S3 currently and am waiting on the Final season box sets to release. I've managed to pick each of them up on discount for ~$30-40ish dollars each. Not quite as cost efficient as Omnibus, but still better than the normal $10.99/volume. I love the way the invdividual box art lines up on my shelf and I can rotate them to any of the box sides to get a unique view.

This was ridiculously helpful, thank you so much!💛

Thank you so much for this video! Your reviews are awesome. I was hesitant at first but after watching your video I decided to buy the Colossal edition set and I LOVE IT! It’s huge 😂 now I’m just waiting for the last volume 7 to be released later this year.

Great and highly detailed review. Continuing with my journey in completing attack on titan mangas~

This video was done so well. With so many different editions, I was really trying to figure out which edition would be best for me. So thank you so much for taking the time to show the differences and the pros and cons of each edition. Got a like and sub from me!

Thank you so much, I've always preferred the individual volumes for the later volume covers but after watching this I might just get the Colossal Editions as well.

I purchased the singles because I adore isayama’s covers, also I really dislike huge paperback omnibuses. if the colossal editions were like the berserk deluxe editions it’d be no contest, the berserk hardcovers are beautiful I adore them.

Thanks Kristen. A Merry Christmas and Happy New to you. Thank you for this excellent comparison video. I hope you do more. I’ve not read or watched AoT, but after this I’ll certainly be getting the Colossal Editions.I love oversized collected editions, but I also hope they bring out hardcover editions.

Thank you for these super comprehensive videos - it’s so helpful of making an informed decision if you are unable to buy these in person. Personally, I like the omnibus version - it’s cheapest, has better sturdiness of cover than the colossal edition but also has a larger print with less art loss! ❤ I love large print manga as well but I’ve seen quite few of the colossal editions in store really banged up - I wish Kodansha printed them with at least thicker covers if not hardcovers.

Love the information. Lots of it given quick and to the point. Very professional quality. I’m a subscriber now!

Your videos are really helpful thanks! I hope a hardcover version comes out in the near future.

Very nice vid. Thank you for all the info. I have the box sets and and I’m super happy with it. I like the artwork and I’m generally a fan of boxes. Here in Germany we have also hardcover editions which are still ongoing.

Great video. I already own the smaller paperbacks of the entire series, but I was thinking of getting the colossal editions. However, this video made me decide to wait for a potential hardcover.

This was such a informative video, i already have the normal paper back collection, but i will try to get the collosal edition. Thanks for the video.

As much as I would want the colossal editions, I am going with the omnibus editions. I just prefer the cheaper price and having three in one. This was a really informative video and showed me a lot of things I never knew about like the cropping issues, details/lighting, and the full color pages. I hope that this video can help newcomers to the series.

I’m so happy you made this video, I had started to buy the regular Manga before I seen this video, the first 4 Colossal editions arrived yesterday & they’re so much better than the regular editions. The pages are even bigger than the deluxe editions of Berserk/Hellsing/Blade of the Immortal from Dark Horse, I love these editions, definitely the way to read this Manga.

This was a very helpful video, thank you. 5:54 soldified for me that I would want to get the omnibus. The fact that it's the least cropped (in both directions) seems like a no brainer to me. Lucky I prefer that eggshell-like texture and off-white colour, too. Admittedly, I've never read an omnibus before and have always imagined them simply to be more difficult/uncomfortable to read.. but you make it seem as tho that's not an issue. All that, plus considering it's the least expensive, really sells it for me. I like the idea of different covers for every volume but if anything is steering me clear of them _(aside from the price, which I would argue is valid, to have those different covers)_ it's the contrast difference show at 4:50. That's DRASTICALLY different than the other two. I can tell the Colossal edition is crisp af but the omnibus looks pretty on par. So, omnibus ftw~! All around best choice for me ^-^)b

great explanation! I subscribed! I have only the standard paperbacks!

I’m a big sucker for the large formats so I had to pick up the Colossal editions. The art looks incredible on the larger pages. My only wish is that they were hard covers similar to the dark horse deluxe editions. Can’t wait for the final one to come out though!

Thank you for putting so much effort and research into these videos it really helps someone who is trying to start collecting these types of series. Also I really hate to be that person but Hajime Isayama is pronounced Ha - ji - meh. Japanese names are particularly difficult to pronounce so I know how you feel. I hope that helped!

Love the in depth comparisons 👌

Later box sets also come with the short stories booklets which are nice reads that help give more detail to the characters

I really hope we get a hardcover edition variant of the Colossal editions.

Hey great video! I'm kinda late but I just wanted to mention that the box sets include exclusive posters and short stories which you can't get anywhere else.

Amazing video! After all you said I'll be going for the colossal edition since detail is what i care for the most when reading manga

Wow, you are thorough !! Kudos 👏 I just picked up the individual paperbacks (1-4) and was wondering if I should have gone a different format or boxset. 🙃 I am surprised the colossal editions weren't made in hardcovers.

The quality of this video is insane and exactly what im looking for as a new manga collector.

Great video thanks for the information keep it up

Thanks for the video. I like comparison videos for different versions of the same series. So far, I've been anime only, but I thought about reading aot after the final season is out.

I love the anime! Still haven't pulled the trigger on any of the manga formats. Though if I were to right now, I'd probably go for the colossal editions although the omnibus and box sets are quite attractive as well.

This video was well made. Including price per volume and release dates. Thank you for making it easier for me

This video help me find what ways I could read AOT but I’m still torn between The box sets and the omnibus

This video helped me a lot and I picked the separate ones thank you (:

this was an amazing breakdown, thanks very much!!!

Wow, thank you very much for this video! I wanted to start my collection of attack on titan manga and I didn't know they sell different editions besides the individual series 😂

Definitely going for the Colossal edition myself!

Awesome content, This video helped me out. Thanks

Wow!. Just found your channel. You are super insightful. Thanks again for all the info.

The German Deluxe Hardcover editions as well as the German box sets are verrrry pretty

another thing to note about the box sets is some of them include short story additions

I have the colossal edition and it’s awesome, the art looks really incredible, it’s really colossal great for a collection

Omnibus: Cheapest, least cropped, better quality than singles/box-set, and might still fit on my smaller shelf. That'd probably be the one I go for.

We need more videos like this because this was awesome!!

As someone who started buying manga last year, I recently bought the Final Season Part 1 Box Set because it was on sale and *personally* I do think it's a really good way to collect manga for a few reasons: - it's less of a hassle to try to find individual volumes. There's always the one or two volumes that are constantly out of stock (could just be a Canada thing, I'm not sure but it is sometimes annoying) so knowing that you'll get all the volumes if you get the sets, it's less frustrating - the size of the books makes it easier to carry around. I definitely understand wanting to see the art better, but for me I would rather pull out a book than what looks like a giant textbook in public XD the art is more enhanced in the omnibus and Colossal but that's a trade I'm willing to make - I like the extra stuff you get, as well as the box itself is also neat. I also like that they're separated by seasons, so if one day I'm like "I wanna reread __ scene from Season __ again" I can just simply look by box instead of looking through volumes. My main issue with the box sets is that if it has extra stuff that you'd typically remove like a poster, when you remove it, it creates a small space in the box which can make it easier to take the books out. However if it doesn't come with anything, the books can be a little tight together and it can be hard to pull out the book "normally" (as in either grabbing either side of the spine, or from the top) without nicking the spine. The only simple solution is to tilt the box forward enough that the books slide out. Other than that, I'm definitely a "box set" person, especially when they're on sale :)

I haven’t started this series yet but definitely plan too!

Those colossal editions really are soooo heavy, but I like can’t imagine reading a smaller format

might have to pickup those clossoal editons. Thanks for the great breakdown!

I've just started to collect the colossal editions because I love the large artwork, however I constantly worry about breaking the spine haha

Thank you! This was really helpful

The colour art in the colossal editions is soooooooo beautiful

Just started AoT, this video was awesome and informative

i like this format! thanks

Right there with you with hardcovers, really hoping they do that next. I’m sleeping in the series til then.

These books need to be large hard covers and in color. You inspired me to get the colossal editions once in color. When it comes to the word bubbles hard to read its called gutter loss but other then that issue 💪😁 hella review keep it coming.

You should do a video on the spin-off mangas such Lost Girls and No Regrets. Some of them even have full color editions!

very helpful video, thank you

Im collecting the Omnibus Editions first and then hopefully the hard cover Colossal Editions if they ever come out.

love this series!!

You realllyy deserve more subs

Thanks for the good review! I will come back when I start my journey of buying AoT!

You have really done your research very well done

I seriously recommend getting the omnibus due to the value. The Colossus edition is a bit too expensive and its more cost-effective to get two omnibus's. Get the omnibus if you want to save money at any point. I agree with the people who want to get the singles due to the cover-art (it looks absolutely sick) but the omnibus's are the most cost effective and a bit more immersive than the singles. Still at the end of the day my opinion from experience hope you benefit from it

These Colossal Editions looks soooooo coooool 😍 I loved it.

Fun video! I have the singles. I don't think I'll trade them in but if I were starting from scratch, I might have considered one of the other versions. Space is becoming a priority. 😰

Great video......quite helpful thanks!!

I’ve just started getting into manga so this was really helpful.

This video was very helpful!

Great video thank you!

I read AOT via Crunchyroll/comixology mostly because I couldn't decide if I wanted to buy AOT at all (had some doubts about direction of manga + am not the biggest fan of Isayama's early art in the series) but I've been thinking of picking it up since it is a series that had a big impact on me and one of the few where I closely followed the anime (not a big anime watcher) so this video was super interesting! I've always been skeptical of the Colossals specifically BC of the glue binding and paperback but as you said a deluxe hardcover edition would be wicked... Might just hold off yet again and avoid making a choice 😅 thanks for the great comparison anyway!

I really like the collosal edition but I think the individual paperbacks are the best since they're all released :)

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this. You are a legend.

Awesome video. Congrats!!

Great video! I only have one colossal edition but it is fantastic!

nice, I'll probably get the omnibuses or the colossal editions when it comes down to it.

Thank you for this! I decided to collect AoT and was a bit surprised at the number of different versions they published, this was enormously helpful!!

great video 👌 I watched it while eating lunch

I'm from Brazil,and your channel help me a see another version and practicing my English.

Ah, I didn’t know about the different editions, I’ve started buying the normal ones, I’ve got the first 15 volumes. But this video couldn’t have come at a better time, I was just about to buy all the rest of the volumes, but now I’ll definitely go for the Colossal editions. I much prefer the larger format like with Berserk, Hellsing & Blade of the Immortal deluxe editions.

love your work🥰

I dont have any of these, but the colossal editions make me considering getting them.
