[Discussion] Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan

[Kendjin]

Love how those comments basically spoil the episode for people that haven't seen it yet.

[solidbatman]

2 weeks is my cut off for editing for spoilers. And it is a thread dedicated to discussion of the show. So it's fairly obvious there will be spoilers.

[Kendjin]

But what you mentioned was In Relation to this week, wasn't it? I need to rewatch the episode I guess. But the

  Reveal hidden contents

Eva comment, basically says.. Oh its Giants vs Giants, but I guess that's not a massive spoiler

sounds like this episode.

I hope people keep enjoying the series.

Don't see how that is a spoiler, but I'll edit it.

Because:

Mikasa is about to be killed and out of nowhere a Titan fights against another one, I don't see how that's not killing the suspense of the episode?

Thanks for editing it.

Alternative is that we just settle on the fact that anything shown so far in the anime isn't a spoiler even if it just came out, but I'd feel bad if someone saw something just as they were about to watch it.

But she's sooo cool

[Redgrave]

Sasha is pretty much a comedic relief to the story soooo....

[Down]

Well, I have a bad feeling for pretty much all the characters... Except for Mikasa, maybe...

It feels just like they're grown to be canon fodder to break our hearts by savagely killing them, so I've pretty much accepted their deaths already...

So far none of them had more than an introduction for character development, so it's not like I'm much attached to them anyway.

[solidbatman]

Apparently, Attack on Titan will be getting a couple of visual novels to go along with the blu-ray volumes.

[Forythos]

From Nitroplus+ as well, according to Siliconera.

[Mephisto]

Nice, looking forward to them. The last episode was quite interesting.

[Redgrave]

Shit storm incoming!!

Batman is gonna drop this.

[solidbatman]

They did what I didn't want them to do, but made it work in a way that I'm okay with. Eren appeared to be a pilot instead of actually being the Titan.

Nah, I aint gonna drop this. The actions scenes are way too well done for that, and as long as we have Sasha, this show is undroppable.

Only complaint i had about this episode was, the first few mins was basically just last ep. Other than that, really enjoyed it.

Also based on none but my speculation:

Batman you said he was only a pilot, but I have to wonder, its seems like where he "pilots" from, happens to be the "kill" point on titans. I have to wonder... I don't know how this will continue, since I've only read up till this ep

[Down]

And now we can start saying

  Reveal hidden contents

meh, Evangelion did it already

[Redgrave]

  Reveal hidden contents

Eren is so-so of being a titan though.

Only have watched the rebuilds of evangelion.

  Reveal hidden contents

But yeah it did it first lol

[Forythos]

  Reveal hidden contents

It turned out to be more or less what I expected. The end result is the same, though I admit I sort of expcted him to transform.

Also, even though I sold myself as a Mikasa man, I'm growing to like Sasha more and more. And finally, LOL at that big eyed "kawaii" titan appearing again.

[eclipsezero]

Best character appears next week AW YEAH.

[Metaler]

Episode 8 was fucking hardcore. I love Mikasa.

  Reveal hidden contents

I somehow kinda figured that the Rogue Titan was Eren but holy shit that was sweeeeeeet.

This show is so intense, man. A fantastic story about survival in an odd world.

[Rairu-kun]

Just watched Epi 9....I NEED MORE..THIS IS NOT ENOUGH...UGH WHY...

Starting to think about reading the manga =3=

[solidbatman]

I shouldn't have started this until it finished airing. The week long wait its just unbearable at this point. I refuse to read the manga though. Reading is for nerds (a joke btw). Also, I just don't see the manga having the same impact since its not animated with Production IGs massive talent.

[Rairu-kun]

Yea I kinda regret starting it too. The manga may not have the same effect when it comes to action scenes, but the story so far seems to be making up for it.
