Damn, what a brutal beginning. Like previously, I liked the soundtrack of this episode.

Chargeeeeeeeeeeeeee. This is fucking amazing. Another amazing episode imo and I still feel a bit sorry for Eren. Tears of determination:

Lol subbed by who? The groups that are doing it, usually take 3-4 hours from airing date aka gg, which is the fastest.

Looks like they're doing 0.5-1.5 around here, chapters an episode.

That wall breaking by the Armoured Titan was so incredibly done, the BGM was immense.

Also, that ED was lovely.

So if they stay at that pace, then for even only 22 episodes it's at least 33 chapters.

I appreciate new details like the higher ups and Hannes' witnessing the fall of wall Maria even though it slowed down the pace, I wanted to see more in this episode.
The armoured titan wrecked shit, the cannon balls didn't even leave a single scratch on him.

I do not like Mikasa's character design, where is her cold look?

I could only catch a glipse of the ending from a stream of the show, but it ended here at the end of chapter 2. But yeah 25 episodes would only get us to around 33-37.

And it looks like they have moved the training to next episode.

The heck have they done to Mikasa? She's not some pretty girl with sparkly eyes and emphasis on her lips. I thought her eyes looked off in the first ep but put that down to little effort being put into the kiddy designs. Maybe it's down to the original art being weird, with Mikasa often just have black pupils with no light reflecting--that being hard to manage away from B&W pages. Hopefully not a 'sexing up' attempt.

Where does the episode end? If where Tyrel shows then not even half a chapter beyond ep1. Naruto Shippuuden pacing?...

I actually appreciate them taking their time and not rushing through the beginning. The pacing seems perfectly fine to me so far.

I think I got a slight boner at both the armored titan part and Mikasa ED.

Right now, about 2 chapters worth of manga material was used up.

Chapters 1-2, a couple of scenes from chapter 3 (Eren's dad injecting him with something) and the start of the training arc in volume 4 (about Armin's parents).

So, it's looking good. The anime staff seems to be watching how much manga material they use up.

The reordering of the training arc worries me a bit, but I can see why they'd want to do it that way instead.

What tech level is shingeki no kyojin supposed to be? I'm guessing mid 1700s. There's steam, there's muskets, there's advance artillery with canister shot, etc. Also, armor is out of style, even for soldiers whose job is guard duty.

I wonder if they'll add in gore for the BDs or if they've decided to cut it out completely. It could become pretty annoying if they won't show the Titans eating anyone.

I want a gif of Mikasa punching Eren. XD

Every single Emo Shounen Hero should be punched in the face, lets call it Male Bitch Slap.

As for the episode why couldn't we have started with them adults already and the last episode being a flashback ? I know director is trying to depress us even more, but I wanted stuff to start rolling already.

The boot camp scene should have been the beginning of the episode. Hope we don't get any more whining.

Also why did they put so many civilians to live in the outer walls ?

Well, to be fair - none of the Titan eating humans scene in episode 2 are in the manga. So, am okay with all the censorship (for now).

Also, I really like how they did the intro of episode 2.

And yes! to Mikasa punching Eren - he needed one. Everyone in the chat I was in was complaining about Eren's whining; they cheered when Mikasa punched him.

For now, there's just one thing I don't like about episode 2 - one too many still crowd backgrounds.

That's true. But Eren's mom was in the manga and that was (cleverly) censored in the anime. I just hope they will show more later on when necessary or it could take away a lot of the feeling of despair and terror.

Everyone has its own gore sensitivity, there was too much of it for me when you add in the despair of it.

Grimedark seems to be this anime version of fanservice.
