solidbatman Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I think the issue with him being gone is, do we really think Armin is up to the task. The only other option than Eren coming back is, that Armin suddenly becomes a badass, which is possible, but I feel if that was the plan, Eren would have died as a kid, timeskip with an older Armin, tough and full of hate Sasha can become the bad ass main character. I would be perfectly fine with that. Nah, but if they went that route and killed Eren, Mikasa would likely take his role and she would constantly try to get Armin to man up. Quote

Nah, but if they went that route and killed Eren, Mikasa would likely take his role and she would constantly try to get Armin to man up. I feel since this week's episode is about Mikasa's backstory, we'll have a better idea of what she's capable. The bad news is that we'll not find out the fate of the fight till a week after :(/>/> ps: I love Sasha, but I want her to be lighthearted forever, also I feel the anime OP gives away that he's not gonna die Oh god, just watched the OP.. dammit.

Kendjin Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Good episode this week. I think I'll be reading the manga later today. I think I'll just drive myself crazy if I don't. Quote
solidbatman Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Ehhh that episode sort of knocked the show down for me. Really don't like the direction the Titans are taking. In one episode, they went from something terrifying to something stupid and ridiculous (yes, I'm talking about dat Titan which will forever be remembered in gifs across the internet.) Quote

I think it was meant to be an out of control one, on a charge for victory. I have to admit though, it wasn't near the caliber I was expecting, but I hope next week's is better. Still an amazing show, I just hope it doesn't lose steam. Quote
Redgrave Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 There are actually many classification of titans in terms of behavior. They will explain it later in the series. Quote
solidbatman Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Soooo there will be a "Dumb Ass Titan" category? Because seriously, it removed all sense of bleakness from the scene and killed what could have been a really, really good, powerful scene. Other issues with the episode were the use if still frames. I know every episode can't have top notch animation, but I'm beginning to notice a lot more panned, still frame shots and its getting to me. Still a great show, but as I told a friend, it may have reached its peak for me too early. Quote

Redgrave Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 The Titans are one of the very mysteries of the series. Even in the manga no one knows a shit about what titans really are and that is what makes the series interesting because there are also many mysteries along the way that will make you guess forever lol However, as i said before, next episode and the next episode and the next episode before it will probably make people very mixed.

Mephisto Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Ep. 5-6 spoiler. So is this when Mikasa takes up Eren's legacy and kicks all the titan's ass? Or shall Eren magically come back to life somehow? Only time will tell! We'll probably find out in episode 8 or something. Quote

Only time will tell! We'll probably find out in episode 8 or something. more episode 5-6 spoiler or: mikasa loses herself to her grief and dies, and the blonde kid grows a set and becomes the new main character. he then kills all the titans, marries sasha, and starts a potato farm. I like my ending best. Quote

After having caught up with and re-reading the earlier chapters, agree completely. While I absolutely goddamn love what the author has done, some peeps...will be less than enthused, to say the least :V Going to update this post after watching latest episode >3>~ Quote
Kendjin Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Ok. I'm gonna start reading. If it turns out how I want it. At least ill enjoy seeing it animated. Quote

While I absolutely goddamn love what the author has done, some peeps...will be less than enthused, to say the least :V Going to update this post after watching latest episode >3>~ I also love what the author did with it. People would probably be mixed because they thought that the survival theme would be less entertaining, the realistic feel and most of the people thought that this series is a seinen. In terms of mood and atmosphere it is seinen but in heart, it is shonen Quote
Kendjin Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Read the next chapter. Well you're right. It's definately gonna split people. It's kind of what I expected. I have hope for the anime :D/> Now after screaming NO WAY!! At work I better do some work :D/> Quote
Redgrave Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 It never split people when it's only a manga and the first that capter was released. Some were skeptical yes, but the shit storm in the anime would be enormous. But then again i blame the hype train for the anime. Quote
solidbatman Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I'll stick around for the duration of the show because its wonderfully animated for the most part, and the music is top notch. But yeah, if the show is going to start turning into something else, things could get ugly. Quote

Redgrave Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Oh, god it's here. Predictions and shit storm. I refuse to look at MAL forums for now xD Of course, another good episode for me. Mikasa knowing eren's death...Stay strong! Quote
solidbatman Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I got major Evangelion vibes from that freaking awesome scene. the whole Titan vs. Titan should be fun, but if that Titan turns out to be Eren, screw this show Quote
Redgrave Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 the whole Titan vs. Titan should be fun, but if that Titan turns out to be Eren, screw this show Well, well well..... Quote
Down Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I got major Evangelion vibes from that freaking awesome scene. the whole Titan vs. Titan should be fun, but if that Titan turns out to be Eren, screw this show Same thing here. It's not yet on par with the best Eva fight scenes in terms of giants fighting but it was really good. And I share your fears >_> I'll be staying away from every SnK thread but this one and another on a forum I trust to avoid spoilers =o Quote
Redgrave Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Haha so it seems the real shit storm will start next week. I'm gonna hold my breath. Well, i'm not spoiling anything since mystery is one of the best thing in this series. Although i might not restrain my self in later days Quote
