GROVER CURES HOUSE posted:Actually, I'm misremembering. The Doc did come back, started acting funny, then jabbed Eren and went MIA for good. The titanitis jab apparently hosed with Eren's head, so there might be an actual issue to be mad about that he forgot about. Being injected with a mutagen-containing needle ostensibly against your will doesn't qualify as something to be mad about?

This episode really showed something that I never understood, why haven't they been training Eren's titan form like nonstop for the past few months? You would think getting him into control/fighting condition would be a top priority I guess they were worried he would turn on them but if you aren't going to utilize your weapon or teach it to defend itself you should destroy it.

That's the thing though, they're not treating Eren's Titan Form as a weapon. Like GROVER CURES HOUSE said: quote:Eren's usefulness, in the eyes of the military, is 1) moving rocks and 2) allowing Recon to safely study a titan up close. This may change at a later point, but no one keeps him around because he is competent. In fact, if their leadership is competent, they would consider his very stoppable rage to be an incredible liability in either form. This is most likely the real reason behind the short leash. Barring some crazy gambit from Erwin, all the evidence suggests that they really don't want/plan to use Eren as a weapon, his usefulness lies elsewhere.

I think it's important to mention it hasn't been months, just a single month. Right now they honestly have no loving clue whether or not he can consistently control it, and most of the evidence up until now had spoken to the contrary. I think right now they were just prioritizing assessing whether or not Eren could remain stable in human form for a long expedition, hence the trial run they were doing (up until the female Titan hosed it up). Plus how the gently caress do you teach a giant to kickbox? 15 meter punching bag? Edit: as well, the importance here is being able to say Eren went on a mission which was successfully completed. Everything seems well and good right now but Eren really is still in deep, deep poo poo with the military, hence Levi being assigned to be around him almost perpetually.

This is an amazing cover of Guren no Yumiya. Kind of reminds me of the clever ways the contrast between metal and indie pop were drawn in Detroit Metal City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMOSl7SLyrc

I was one of the first to say "holy gently caress that's Annie" based solely off her facial features. She and it have the same eys and nose and lips and unbound hair. Haven't read this bit in the manga, I'm saving that for another few weeks until this season is finished. MetricUnit posted:2. She has contacts or is in the recon squad that told her Eren would be in the right flank of the expedition. Huh. Who mentioned they had Eren listed on the right flank in the first episode in this arc? Phobophilia fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 5, 2013 |

MetricUnit posted:They haven't said that at all but we have a few clues: I guess I need to pay closer attention. Those do make sense but from a first watch those are a little subtle and not that obvious to me. I barley even remember her, did she reveal why she was signing up to fight titans or anything else that might be interesting? I need to go rewatch those episodes with her in it.

Also, she didn't kill Armin despite being on a rampage through, well, basically everyone, after she saw that it was indeed Armin she had in her grasp. Though, yeah, 7's basically it; I've been only watching the anime and I still thought "that's totally Annie" when I saw that thing. Questioned it a bit at first, but as time went on more and more added up to it, but really. It's a giant Annie without any skin.

My assumption was also that it's Annie, based largely on the thought that she's gotten too much screen time to just chicken out, join the military police and disappear. Really she's the only suspect I can even think of outside of a completely new character... assuming the pilot is female, anyways. I originally had her pegged as the loner with a heart of gold type character, so its an interesting subversion of that if true.

(spoilering just in case everyone else is supposed to be and are going to get smacked with a ruler) Note that I'm an anime only viewer/still making assumptions here, but I wonder if it was that obvious in the manga too? At this point since we seem to have a Captain Obvious Reveal on our hands, what'd be great is if Mikasa and Levi chase the Female Titan, and fail.. but then a second female titan shows up and that one is actually Annie!  ..Of course for that to work the first one would have to be someone related to Armin, and no one else really fits the bill (Or find some other reason for him to be spared.) Oh well. Maybe we'll get a different kind of surprise to make up for it. Zogundar fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Sep 5, 2013 |

Pixiv seems to be having a good time with drawing members of the Levi Squad over the past few days. Way to remind us of better times. Also, it's probably a symptom of just being extremely popular, but there is an absolute ton of crossover fan art with Titan. King of the Hill, Teen Titans, Assassin's Creed, Guts, and even the A-Team. Not to mention all the real life stuff with imagery obviously inspired by the show / manga, or all the YouTube videos setting Guren no Yumiya to various other videos. It really seems like one of those franchises that comes along every now and then and ends up much more popular than you'd think with people who otherwise not really interested in anime.

GROVER CURES HOUSE posted:This is really No, that's a little different. That would require a scene where it is unambiguously revealed to the audience (But none of the other main cast) that Annie is the female titan. In the scene where they are back in human form they are still hiding their face from both the characters and us, the audience. We are not officially "in" on it yet, even if most people are are 99% sure we have it figured out. There's always the possibility, however unlikely, that it is building toward a "I led you to guess exactly the wrong answer I wanted you to  " result. One of my favorite stories, which I basically can't the name the title of without.. ruining the entire thing, does exactly this.Also I don't know anything about the seedy tavern parts of that site, I just stay above ground and away from any discussions or other

Why is this show still pretending that everyone didn't already figure out who the female titan is the second her nose appeared? This is not something I've had spoiled for me, I'm just assuming, but it seems really loving obvious and I'm going to be very surprised if it turns out to not be true. Also, I hope Eren really is dead this time. He was boring as gently caress. The only interesting part about him was the titan-thing, and since there are now others who can do that too, he's completely useless.

Sales-wise it's basically beating everything except One Piece. Even if the momentum does die down in the future, for now each volume still sells well over a million and that's pretty significant.

Much as I'd like that to be the case I'd be genuinely surprised if it were to ever happen since deep down it's still a shonen series.

Not manga spoilers btw, I'm just really drat sure. He might be a bad character, but too much of the story revolves around him for him to just disappear.

Just watched all 21 episodes today. I've seen/read Berserk so I was pretty prepared for what i've seen but the show still had an impact. Everything is done pretty good. I really like it, even though it seems nothing will get answered and i'll have to spend bucks to find out what's going on. (Just like Berserk  ) Eagerly waiting for today's ep.While i'm watching the show i'm fine but reading this thread every time somebody posts pic of the Titans, the toys, or the real people with faces like them earlier in the thread it creeps me right the gently caress out. So good job show I guess.

That was pretty good. I like that the female titan is actually concerned when Levi/Mikasa are chasing her. Also, Levi's a beast, but no surprises there.

A full half of this episode was anime-original (the entire segment on the way back from the forest: in the manga, it went Eren recovered from the Female Titan to Eren waking up, basically,) but it was pretty all right. Better than the previous filler segments have been.

In that weird little fan made unity game, what does Armin's special actually do? It seems like it's just a little pose. Levi's special is alright, though often times just does what I would have have been able to do slightly slower anyway. Mikasa's special (the downward slam), seems to be the most practically useful to me, helps you correct overshots if you are quick. Oh yah and I guess there's some tv show people are watching too.
