I finally translated the Mikasa vs Annie story from Hangeki no Tsubasa! It also features quite a lot of yumikuri, and a little bit of Connie and Sasha.
Anyway, happy birthday Annie!
The original story in Japanese can be found here.

Bessatsu magazine - Q&A with Isayama
Isayama has been answering Q&A in the magazine ever since the Sep issue last year. Itās also the same Q&A where Isayama trolls the fandom by implying Armin is a girl. The Q&A can be found in the first few pages of the Bessatsu Magazine every month.
Translations of the Q&A under the cut.

Hello! did fuku-shuu deactivate their account? :( I canāt find their account anywhere.
Hi!
I think so, especially since I've noticed that that snknews.com is also gone, and they were running that. I don't know for sure, but since it looked that they may have had their own domain for that site, it may be that when it expired, everything was gone as well :(
It's such a pity, the loss of such an immense resource, especially when they were so meticulous about recording things. A side note that we also respected other people's material and linked to the original quotes, especially on Twitter, rather than screenshotting it. But these days, if I look back on some old post I made and the link still works, I take a screenshot and put it here because it feels like the greater priority these days to archive the media...
Thank you for your ask and sorry for the late response! :(
The good news is that quite a lot of fuku-shuu's blog and snknews.com have been archived at Archive.org. You need to go back to 2002 to get a decent snapshot, and it isn't all there, some of the links are broken, particularly to images and media, but a lot of it has been saved. The translations and interviews are mostly there and they're an invaluable source of canon content people tend to forget about or no longer have access to.
So let's hear it for the Way Back Machine and please donate to the Internet Archive here DONATE.
If Iām not mistaken, their Reblog Posts here on Tumblr will remain available. I can still see whatever I Reblog š from them, @snkmerchandise etc on my Blog.
I suspect many essential accounts are gone due to the blog inactivity, being abandoned for years? ;__;
UPDATE: When I search for my Reblog of fuku-shuu posts, I get this username, @kamenashik as posting it. New Username?
SNK Smartpass: Erwin Smith and Sasha Braus - A Scene While Taking Shelter from Rain Reprise
[translation: @yusenki | editing: twitter@braunsofsteel ]
Disclaimer: Please do not re-post the translation elsewhere without permission.
Note: This story was published on December 27, 2016 (x).
Raindrops fall from the sky and spin short tales. Today as well, there is a new tale made by the rain, about a small bond formed somewhere below the sky. After the revolution within the wall, Trost district became the front line for humanityās counterattack. Today, cold rain has been falling since early afternoon.
Erwin, accompanied by his horse, is sheltering from the cold rain drops on a backstreet, under the eaves of an empty house. His body, exhausted by daily hard work, bears the coldā¦old as he is, he sighs.
āHuh? Commander, do you take shelter from the rain in such a place?ā
The owner of the familiar voice appears from the alleyway beside him.
She is a soldier from the Survey Corps, under Leviās squad, who helped carry through the revolutionā¦her name is for sure, Sasha Braus.

Reblogging this just in case as discovering important accounts disappearing due to lack of activity by the blogger probably ;__;
In the Aot bessatsu magazine there is a Q&A with Isayama about Hange. He said that if they had lived, they would have traveled. Are you planning to translate these?
Q: Among main characters, only Hanji-san's family has not been described. Does Hanji-san have some brothers or sisters?
A: There is an impression that she is distant from her family
Q:If there is a world line that Hanji-san is alive, would she live with Levi/Falco/Gabi together?
A: I feel that the role she's going to take on will be busy and flying around, so I don't have the impression that she will settle down(å®ä½).
The last Question & Answer, doesnāt it hinted how Hange might do it with the other 4 in toll?
In the original Manga ending (3 Years after the Rumbling), the 4 are travelling around the world. Maybe they are living out the life Hange would had wanted if they together survived the Rumbling.
Ya, the Anime made it more ārealisticā and more humane; about them helping to rebuild the world still 3 years later.

And they cost ~36% more at NT$2,150 (USD68+) compared to in Japan where itās Ā„7,920 w/JP Tax (USD50) Canāt get my 2nd bottle of Final Season Levi Fragrance then!
So now I just need the Squad Leader Hange, MP Annie and Survey Corps Reiner Fragrance from Primaniacs Japan
The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
I do not have a problem. Minus wrinkles ick

FOUND THIS POST FINALLY!!!!
After going through @shikarius-blog for many hours
FYI, this image has been Reposted in many AoT Facebook Groups without Credits by people saying itās their āCosplay AoT Goalā.
So I need the Original Link for the photo and not some Pinterest Link that didnāt give credits to Shikariusā¦..
Anyhow, I myself had saved the photo into my phone album for āPersonal Inspirationā back in like 2017, as I so wanted to do the Attack on Christmas costume too (have the materials since 2016!), plus other Wings of Counterattack costumes I was still missing then.
And also inspired me to try taking photo of ~75% of the AoT Costumes & Parts I have, back in 2020:
(Missing are the Sweaters for AoT JH & some of the other charactersā inner wears, stored away in Toyogo Storage Boxes. And since 2020, I had added in more Capes, Long Coats & Manga Lara Tybur Outfit with more slowly getting bought or Tailored!)
I've been studying in Shinjuku for a few months and I only have a week left before leaving, but I spontaneously remembered that you visited recently as well. I was wondering if you found any cool cosplay stores while you were here? Other than the top floor Akiba shop, which is the only wig + cosplay store I've stumbled across so far, I only really see occasional wig stores (āĀ“āļ½ā)
OKAY COSPLAY POWER SHOP TIME. First place you wanna hit is the colloquially named āOtome Roadā in Ikebukuro across from Sunshine city. Aside from Assist Wig, the entire 6 floor Animate on the corner is dedicated to cosplay stuff (thereās a legit Animate a few blocks down with a MAPLE wigs across the street). Thereās a Cospa outlet, Lashinbang, lots of lightly used resale items, and even a cosplay photo studio on the top two floors! Keep going down the road past the doujin shops and one of the K-Books is dedicated to new and used cosplay.Ā Next, thereās the Nakano Broadway Shopping Arcade. The 2nd and 3rd floors are a goldmine of all sorts of merchandise, but there are also two (or threeā¦?) cosplay shops. One has a ton of resin accessories like gems and brooches along with wigs and costumes.
Thereās also the famous āTomatoā chain of fabric stores in the fabric district, but you probably donāt want to lug fabric home Iām guessing.
Thatās all from memory so some info might be slightly off, but Ikebukuro is definitely your best bet! Publishing for future reference ahaā¦
First I wanted to make Hanji as Riza but no. Based on this.
Another Cosplan I should add in to my list since Iām SUPPOSE to cosplay FMA Anime/Manga & Live Action Riza Hawkeye since like 20+ years ago
When I get the costume!
Is @snknews gone????? ą¼¼ą¼¼;; ;Ā°;ąØĀ°;ą¼½
I dun think I had Reblog EVERY Post they made, or if I do, Tag it appropriately for easy retrieval.
They are so ESSENTIAL for translations of Interviews, News and many other things especially in this era of many Newbie Attack on Titan Fans who wasnāt there when the first 2-3 Anime Seasons was released! (ć·_ _)ć·
If there was a character song for Hange......š„¹š (my imaginary creation)
I wonder which AoT Song Tune itāll be sang to.

News: SnK x ATTACK Laundry Detergent Collaboration
Original Release Date: December 2018 Retail Price:Ā TBA
Japanese Laundry Detergent brand āAttackā (Attaku) is collaborating with SnK, under the pun āATTACK on Titan!ā
The collaboration will consist of a āofficial Survey Corps Detergentā product whose name and slogan will be determined by fans on social media. Levi is currently the first visual reveal (Based on his season 3 group visual look), with two more on the way.
What? Kao want to develop a Survey Corps official washing detergent you say? Whatās the reason Because āShingeki no Kyojinā is āAttack on Titanā the affinity with Attack is high? Thatās too cheap Kao. Well, do what you like. It has nothing to do with me. ā¦ Whatās that? That they will use me for the detergent bottle designā¦ tsk, theyāre having it their way too much arenāt theyā¦ Iāll say in advance, Iām busy. Under the blue sky Iāll be doing laundry, folding up white shirts, wearing outfits like that, much less having the time to be posing holding a bottleā¦
(Eren:) Heichouā¦ arenāt you in high spirits!!
Well then, a laundry with no regrets.
(Disclaimers for mistakes! ;)
Ps: I wonder if someone still have Empty Bottles of the type with Levi on the label, to giveaway, to those who visited her in Japan š
FRaU 2014.8 just delivered! Sorry these are LQ, but feel free to take/translate as you like, since Iām too busy right now to. Some things I thought was interesting that Isayama said:
He enjoys drawing Jean and Ymir the most
Levi does drink alcohol. Among Erwin, Levi, Hanji, and Moblit and others in the Survey Corps, Moblit drinks the most ābecause his troubles never endā (we know why)
The most unpleasant/scary thing to Levi is mold
Leviās blood type is A; He sleeps only about 2-3 hours; He cuts his own hair with barberās clippers
Does Sasha hate any kind of food? She hates food that is not considered to be food. (Soā¦ basically, so long as itās food, she likes it, ha.)

Re-posting even thoā I now own the Magazine too (but dun have PC!)
I do have a tendency to, not lie about although I do have a tendency to think of it that way XDD, but seriously downplay what I do.
Like, the quality of the Frau magazine images that I'm linking and reading off actually looks like this:
Some of it I've extrapolated by figuring what the characters should be based on context and through reverse translation (not completely trustworthy here because I think OP was working off chinese translations), and some of it I did go out and do a search and hope that someone would actually have transcribed the text so that I can confirm it (for copyright infringement reasons Japanese people will actually give very little of this verbatim)
Which is also why in spite of the source being so apparently available you'll find that very few (if any?) people have taken a crack at re-translating it. It's literally a Wall of blurry Text that you'll actually have to reverse engineer, which means you have to understand enough and also have enough of a proficiency in the language to have some candidates lined up to have a crack at what those blurry blurry pictograms could be.
The smartpass Goodnight. Sweet dreams, dear. Act II: Levi text too is frankly the hardest text I've ever had to translate, like seriously, what the hell is the writer trying to say at all at all. Again, the source page when the site was up was freely available for anyone to browse, and again, I don't think there's any other fan translations that I'm aware of, and I know I've said that it's difficult, but I don't think I've expressed properly that it's that difficult.
(I'm afraid I didn't know the ways of archiving webpages at the time, but I still have the source text, and if anyone is interested in it I could put it up)
And finally? Isayama's writing is also just straight up off the wall, unconventional at best, making up completely new ways to say things at worst. It's not actually standard or correct japanese in places. Anecdotally I've heard and I've also seen on the net japanese persons declining to interpret what Isayama actually means because hell if they know either. And like, I've translated what Isayama has said like his Himeanole blog post and his favourite chapters and it genuinely has been a ride. This makes the smugness of some people arguing over the correctness of various translations and the certainty of what they think is the correct interpretation (with what qualification, dare I add, for some) even funnier. Don't know how many people if any are even aware of this one.
But, it's like one of those posts or videos or something where somebody does something and somebody else follows up with a detailed explanation of why this normal to incredible-looking thing that this person is doing is actually even more insane than it looks to the plebeianās eye because of x, y and z, and coming from someone in the same field who knows the whats and how-tos about it, what's the "anybody with some skill in the field can do this" and what's the "holey moley how" parts of it.
But in this game of "who can bullshit their ability more", maybe I should just toot my own horn a little better sometimes XDD
I have the magazine now thoā only can photograph the Pages as I dun have a PC/Laptop still ;__;
Ps: Dun try translating whole page using Google Translate Camera! Paragraph all messed up! So need do Row by Row
Shikishima and Levi by Vhenyfire on DeviantArt
I watched fully the 2 Attack on Titan Live-Action movies again past 2 days and still I LOVE CAPTAIN SHIKISHIMA! (įįØį)
One of my Attack on Titan Cosplay Dream, is still to have a cosplay group where someone cosplay as Shikishima and another as Levi, while Iām (Main Storyline) Hange! (ā āæ ā)
Can do a short skit of Hange drooling over Shikishima especially knowing heās a Titan Shifter, and Levi go all jealous, trying to pull Hange away (by her ponytail!) while declaring she already have a Titan at hand! ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Okay, back to trying to write out those stories from Attack on Titan Short Stories Booklets! ą¼¼ą¼¼;; ;Ā°;ąØĀ°;ą¼½
