Yes, the spin-off about Levi has been made into an OVA. Just Google "shingeki no kyojin no regrets English sub" and there you go.
Anyone can turn into a titan by injecting that titan serum. However, I've always thought that it would turn one into a mindless titan. You gain consciousness only when you, as a mindless titan, have eaten another shifter human/titan. I'm pretty sure about this.
Unless I've seen the original Japanese scan, I can't tell you whether hanji was specified as a male. Japanese pronouns can be genderless or often omitted, but in English, we need a third person pronoun no matter what in order to address someone in some situations. As such, it's up to the translator's choice which pronoun he or she prefers based on what gender he or she perceives a certain character in the story to be. In Japanese, you can't really tell a third person's gender easily.
Yes, Ymir is a girl. I've been curious about how her name is actually pronounced, btw.
Oh my, thank you so so much for clearing everything up! I've asked a lot of questions, you're so patient! Thankkkss. :-)
Somehow in the manga Levi is not as stoic as I thought he was. Lol. Can someone please tell me, is the manga about levi made into an anime already? I read somewhere that there were really plans about it, but I didnt stay updated.
So anyone can turn into titan with that thing? Yasss Levi titan! But yep, he could die. Still I kinda believe Erwin's decisions. Damn, Levi would a great loss not only to the survey corps but to the humanity. Im sure they have considered that. Maybe Levi could pull it off?
And titans are humans, thats established. So eren, annie(spelling), ymir, historia and the gang are special coz they have consciousness. ?Lol wut am i saying. Their batch is so fucked up. Maybe one day Jean would become a titan, too. Also, Hange is a man.? I know hes supposed to be interpreted however by the reader, but that gave me a peace of mind.Ymir's a girl, right? Lol.
