Holy poo poo, you guys were right, the first 40 seconds were nuts. Especially the segment with Annie looking out while her titan body is being formed. e: OH NO PARKOUR BAKER-SAN

I was concerned this episode in particular would feel like ten minutes of content stretched out over thirty minutes of episode, but dang were my worries ever unfounded. I'm really impressed.

I'm just gonna say that, for those like Phobophilia who plan to hop over to the manga once the anime finishes, it would be UNWISE to read anything in the thread since pretty much nothing but the current chapters get tagged. It's a minefield, so catch up on the manga first before reading the thread. This episode was stretched a bit but so loving intense regardless that it was worth it. The filler bits were excellently done and the climax was great. This episode wins "best creepy faces of 2013" in my book.

Two weeks nothing, you'll be binging the gently caress out of the manga from where the anime ends to now, I guarantee it.

All of the Jean bits (him at the plan meeting, getting out of the carriage, fighting, trying to snap Eren out of it) are all filler but you couldn't even tell. Fantastic pacing and while they don't tell us anything you can't figure out, they're well done and cement Jean as Best Character. And for those hopping over to the manga, make sure to read the training arc (starts on chapter 15). It's mostly in the anime, but there are some bits that weren't and it's nice to see the happy days and familiarize yourself with the drawing style.

I decided to read the Mercy chapter in the manga and it was sort of amazing how much filler they actually made. I thought I accidentally skipped forward. (Doesn't ruin the manga for anyone, but is an episode spoiler)Manga version: Mikasa: "The world is cruel." Eren: "... you're right." *CHOMP, TITAN FIGHT* Also; don't read the Mercy chapter if you don't want to spoil what will probably be the season cliffhanger. It's true... this series just keeps piling more and more and more stuff onto you. Captain Candiru fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Sep 22, 2013 |

Everyone has been talking about an ending, but have they actually came out and said they aren't doing any more episodes? If they didn't keep this up I feel like they would just be shooting themselves in the foot with how insanely popular this is. Then again, I could be completely retarded and am just used to Shonen animes...

This season is ending, because there is literally not enough material currently for a second season. I imagine season two'll be tomorrow's fall, maybe a bit later.

This was a really good episode. Probably my favorite. Just so much crazy poo poo happening. I don't remember if that 3DMG trapeze move was in the manga, but it made me lose my poo poo a bit this time. So next week is the last episode? Huh. I figure they could get another 13 out of what's left of the manga, but I guess it's better to not push their luck and risk it devolving into garbage. Also, one day I want someone to make a Youtube video of spliced scenes of Eva-01 and the Rogue Titan roaring at each other. Maybe throw Hulk in there.

Some disconnected thoughts: 1. Holy poo poo, that was a GREAT EPISODE. Some definite gently caress yeah moments as Mikasa pulls her first Levi-tier sicknasty stunts and as Survey Corps Rookie Jean is the first among a sea of MP to start doing the MP's actual job. 2. This episode really drives home how well Mikasa's quiet-dead-inside craziness foils Eren's loud-violent-passion craziness. 3. Also drove home how much Armin's changed, no apologetic hesitancy in spitting out some hard loving truths to Eren and Annie. 4. The episode doesn't really disaffirm my ongoing theory that titanpeople can't shift without sunlight. It was made to seem like Eren was hesitant to shift because of his feelings for Annie, but maybe it just wasn't technically possible and Annie was aware of this? Probably like the only person who is still thinking this -_- 5. Man, I also can't help but feel like this whole thing is a HUGE deal in moving Jean, Armin, and Mikasa up the ranks. Once they get up high enough Levi and Erwin are gonna get killed off 6. Hanji's trap was set up asymmetrically to get Annie to fall on her back so that the net could be deployed at a realistic height. I love the little details this show thinks about 7. I'm betting that for a season ending they'll either capture Annie and learn some crazy secret about her titanshifting powers or introduce some hitherto unknown titan to decisively end the battle. Wait till next season to discover the identity of HUNGRY TYPE TITAN snucks fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Sep 22, 2013 |

Yeah that was pretty sick, I love the x-ray stuff they do to emphasize it too, makes it look like it carries real weight behind it. Also Mikasa's sideways 3DMG stunts were loving insane.

Yeah, she somehow took a good mid-air titan swing, and managed to correct it with her thrusters and not land as a bloody smear. My favourite thing is that the smashed bits of wall and stone and debris had some real weight to it, people were being beaned the gently caress out by them, instead of simply covering their heads with their arms as the camera shakes.

I'm still surprised the filler was all fights. And they were animated super well. Either they got a budget boost, or they're just going all out because it's almost over.

Finally caught up all the way to the current episode, will the next one be the last one this season? I can't believe I've missed out on this anime for so long, but I finally caved in, and its pretty drat good.

Renoistic posted:Awesome episode but the highlight was still Mikasa's crazy stare. Also, they really need to stop taunting their captured Titans. On the other hand, if your trap is not completely titan-proof, would you prefer having Annie rationally wait for the best moment to murder the poo poo out of you, or would you prefer her to rush things in fear(or hate) and potentially make a mistake?

Pissing her off / scaring her hasn't really worked out that well, you know I like the how the scouting troops managed to sneak in all that equipment and set up the trap without the MP troops noticing.

I'm still of the opinion that the MP have the motives to be complicit the grand conspiracy and Annie's rampages, but they clearly don't have the competence.

I was kind of disappointed that Annie didn't just go "gently caress it" and go straight for the king's residence. Does anyone know what the building that got smashed was? It looked pretty important. Count me among those who won't read the manga after the first season is over. I've read some of the manga and I think the anime is the superior product in most aspects. Scenes like Eren's "death" or the appearance of the female titan wouldn't have had the same weight to them if I'd read the manga first. I have no issues with waiting.

It looked pretty important. There's no guarantee, whatever Annie's agenda is, that opposing the people who run the country is a particularly high priority. She was trying to kidnap Eren for whatever reason: if she just wanted to remove him as a potential weapon/source of knowledge, she could have killed him.

If they wanted to kill the king it couldn't be that hard. It's not like anyone(that we've seen) but the survey corps can really do anything to stop the female titan, much less if the armored or colossal titan was helping. I think either the royalty is either a complete non threat, or complacent in what they are doing.
