I've said it before, but this new director has been weird about the violence. The Titan on human violence has been ramped up, but the human on human violence has been toned down.

edit: Like, we don't even seen how Mikasa's blade slices right through Reiner's right arm and break off halfway splitting his left from his hand to his elbow.

Aaaaand actually on that note I just realize there's an art goof. Reiner still has his right arm when he barrels into Mikasa away from Bertholdt.

This whole time the main antagonist of this series was Bert. That guy that stands in the background sometimes

Don't forget he's also sweaty sometimes

Bertholt and Reiner aren't nearly developed enough to make this reveal worth anything

It's because they were seemingly minor characters like so many others than got unceremoniously slaughtered that it works so well.

Especially when you go back and see all the very subtle clues dropped along the way.

Back when this show first aired on Toonami, I thought it was cool that the premise reminded me of Pacific Rim- except instead of fighting the kaiju, it was like humanity had put all its faith behind the Wall of Life, so it was a concept where humans had to try to get by in the presence of carnivorous megafauna

then Erin got to turn into a Titan, and it started to get silly but still had some saving graces

then 3 years passed and i read spoilers about plot developments and now i just think about how much potential this show once had and then squandered

Nah, that's just anime in general. Presumably the blu ray version will look more polished

I really have no idea what they'd use for a Season 3 ED. Like, there's nothing more they can show that wouldn't completely give the game away.

Exactly, but often times when dubs take longer to get over here, they can get the blu ray polished version in that time.

I like the people zipping around on wires, I really liked the whole mystery of the titans (especially in the 2nd season ed). I really don't like most of the spoilers I've read (lol ymir) and it seems like the show consistently acts like side characters have had more screentime than they actually got (marcooo)
