THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So they used OP song 2 instead of the first. Fine with me. The OVA highlighted the very popular Levi which I'm happy with.

We see a bit of his story and the people he interacts with before joining the corps. Really loved the OST they used for some of the scenes in this OVA. Levi shows off some of skills not against Titans though. Seems like he is discovered by Erwin which is a chance of a life time with that deal.

They added some stuff like how Isabelle met Levi and co. and used the ending of chapter 1 as the episode end. Cool sakuga scenes too, especially the one with Levi fighting off Erwin & Sniffing guy.

Didn't even know this was up yet.

Those 3DMG moves though. Beautiful.

From now on, it's Levi-Aniki. I knew that Levi (despite him being a clean freak) had his hands dirty prior to joining the survey corps, but it's finally nice to see the details. Now, because Farlan and Isabel aren't in the original SnK anime, I am dying to know what happens to them...Let's be optimistic here...yeah no. D:

We know Levi practically had no choice but to join the survey corps, but I am also curious to see Erwin's motives in joining also. I just hope it isn't just his of strong conviction for justice. Please. Eren's motive had much better promise (not that I've seen him accomplish much, but meh).

I liked it. Levi and Farlan are cool, but the star for me is Isabel. I doubt they'll expand on her and Farlan's character considering this is a 2 episode OVA. And going back to that question of "what happens" to them: yeah, if Isayama makes no effort to expand on them then...yeah, you know what I mean. I just hope they aren't mere throw-away characters.

If I had it my way, we would have another Jean-episode.

It's so nice to see Farlan and Isabel animated. I've loved those two characters since they side-story manga was released. Plus it was great to see their friendship with Levi, and how they really are like a small little family that they've built together.

The animation in this is beautiful too, just as expected from the trailers. :)

I loved the anime-only scenes they've added. Makes me feel more attached to the characters ^^

That animation was beautiful :D

EDIT: I wonder how they'll adapt the last episode.. This episode ended at the end of chapter 1 with 7 chapters left o__o

Ah, Levi. No end to his badassery... and cleaning mania.

I really liked the first episode, reminded me what Attack on Titan was. The 3D Gear maneuvering was epic, and the Survey Corps were actually really intimidating against humans (since they're picked off easily by Titans). Isabel looks and behaves like she's Eren and Sasha's child.

Since i don't remember her and Farlan in the main story, i can only hope that they won't just die, but... that seems unrealistic.

Isabel and Farlan are from another story (not the main one) and it was short :^

:D Nailed it. Erwin looked at her somewhat surprised and amused.

Awesome dog fight with the 3DMG. Goes to watch it subbed.

Ah, missed watching SnK for a while, and I'm glad it's back with my favorite character too! That 2nd OP song was fitting for this OVA.

Right away, noticed they've added in some anime original scenes such as how Isabel met Levi and Farlan, which wasn't in the manga. Still. that was well done.

Loved how Levi beat the sh!t out of that guy that touched him a little. One does not simply touch Levi with their filthy hand. XD

That insert song was pretty good. I don't remember it from any of the OST albums though. Perhaps, it'll be in the next release? Hopefully.

Survey Corps intercepting Levi's squad was amazing, especially the blade melee in the ground between Levi himself vs. Mike and Erwin.
That moment when Levi got his face slammed into that mud water.. I wonder how he must've been feeling at that time.

Good start, but I'm a bit worried about the 2nd OVA. How will they cover the remaining 7 chapters in one episode? O.o

good BGM, especially the tracks played at the beginning

Animations were good, notably the 3D movement scenes of the people using the gear and the buildings animated in 3D.

Art was good.

OP and ED brought the nostalgia, with new animations for both of them.

That opening is so nostalgic

They must have robbed some really drunk Military Police to get a hold on those 3D maneuver gears

Then where do they get the fuel and swords to maintain them? Rob the military police that chase them?

I've definitely forgotten how much fun I've had with SnK. Glad that this OVA episode managed to continue that trend.

Anyway, I can already foresee this having the same hiccups as the original series. Well, at least it manages to flesh out Levi's character a bit, can't complain about that.

I'm a bit concerned about the length of this OVA mini-series as well. Don't know how it will manage to wrap up the remaining source material with just one episode.

The shot composition of the prologue was very fitting and awesome as well. No need to talk about the animation.

zat-bust said:

As seen in the OVA, Levi's squad didn't have any Plug in Blades attached to the handgrips of their 3DMGs. As for the fuel, they probably managed to get ahold of a gas compressor of some sort, if they went their way to steal those 3DMGs.

Yes, as it is a DVD only release. The only SnK OVA that was released in 720p was episode 1 of the main OVA series (Ilse's Diary), because it was also aired in HDTV format on a later date. The others however, are still in their native DVD release format up until now.

I can somewhat agree with you. 576p just doesn't do a lot of justice to this tier of animation. Though it does suffice, without hurting its appeal too much.

576p itself is a 480p upscale of sorts, so yeah, 720p would look damn epic with this animation, hopefully they'll have a HDTV release, and then we'll release the higher quality version with some fixes/German song lyrics/information card.

What a waste of good animation.

This was pretty much just Levi fan-service...
Therefore I loved it :D nice 3DMG through the building and when he started fighting Mike with the kitchen knife was cool.
I'm curious to see what their mission is and really hope Levi and Erwin face off in the second episode; it would be a battle of Gods.
Oh and I also loved the Female Titan OST remix they had in there :DD

I'll be sure to not get attached to Isabel, because I'm pretty sure she'll be eaten by a titan or something like this :/
Same for Farlan. SnK world is cruel...

Well, it's nice to see Levi background. I already knew that he was a thug, but I didn't knew he lived underground. In fact, I didn't even knew there was an underground world :O
Also, dat animation when Levi took that shortcut...
