Yes I noticed that, I was just confused a little on the timeline.


I guess they are planning to do most of the things in here chronologically as to avoid so many flashbacks

By the mid 1700s (which is where their tech level seems to be imo) armor has been abandoned by military forces with the exception of heavy cavalry in the form of the cuiraisser who wore steel cuirass and reinforced helmets. Personal armor however is not suited to dealing with titans anyway.

It's more expansion than filler. Episode 2 consist of the last half of chapter 2, a few pages from chapter 3 and a few of pages from the start of the training arc in volume 4.

Finally, Yuki Kaji can stop using his annoyingly whiny boy voice.

Why are some people bitching about Mikasa's look? What, she can't look hot and be badass at the same time?

Excited for next episode, and I agree, OST is pretty great so far.

the producer seems to buff Mikasa a little bit, oh well doesn't matter as long as they still keep her original design in some where like ...

<3 forever Mikasa

oh wait, the best thing in this ep was when dat Ironman showed up, truly epic and stunning, dat running animation, all the destruction combined with epic music ... gave me goosebumps. This scene was 10 times better than the manga.

Now let's wait and see ...

Whoohooo armored titan running into that wall like a boss. Impressive scene.

Yeah Mikasa's lips give a really "wearing makeup" feel, and not saying you can't bust out your lipgloss but it looks like it doesn't belong in this kind of show. Details details, unimportant anyways.

Oh I really like the drawing style of the ED and the song. Great stuff.

I think they missed a small dramatic opportunity by not actually showing 10,000 people or whatever being whittled down to 100. Still good.

Awesome episode once again
It's really terrifying seeing hundreds thousand of people were sacrificed foo the sake of ending food shortage and wow at that running Kyojin
I'm curious if there will be more different type Kyojin in the future
Mikasa is really nice and it's pretty depressing seeing all of Eren's emotions and I want to see Armin's development
What kind of training they will go through next ep...

Well, he is supposed to be a brat. Even Armin had to apologize for him acting like a brat.

It's best to not think of Eren is the (only) main character. Best think of the main trio as the MC.

Nah, I don't think that's a spoiler. It was also shown in the first preview that she has short hair as a teenager. Also, the preview for episode 3 also shows her with short hair. Not to mention look at her in the ED.

I'm a little baffled with all the lipstick complaints. The first PV already showed her with pink-ish lips.

When he was challenging the soldiers, he was right. When he was throwing the bread, he was being stupid. When he was accusing of Armin of being livestock, he was being really annoying.

When he was insisting that he'd go to Wall Maria straight away and start fighting titans, he was being suicidal.

Eren isn't always right.

Eren is shown as a 12 year old there (maybe younger, dunno). Should be a good rebuttal for everything you just said against him.

Seems they're going to change a little bit the order of the chapters from the manga version... Well if they do it correctly it would be even better.
The episode was great, even if I wanted to see a little bit of action (except for the armored titan).
Anyway Christa is amazing here, better than the manga imho, Reiner/Jean different hair colour (great !), Eren voice amazing too <3 Last scene was epic

10/10 for the adaptation.
Instead of flashbacks "on demand" during the series, IG decided to seed them here as clues, which (I think) gives far better understanding of the world they (will) live in, enriches the characters (especially Armin's) and the story as well.
And I absolutely love that they didn't jump on the next chapter, leaving the attack on Shiganshima as some random action trigger, but took the time to show the helplessness, the terror, the suffering, and the ugliness of fear (the fight for food, the attitude of the soldier of Wall Rose, the doom of the refuges facing titans, but in fact sacrificed by fellow humans).

I think they're all about 10.

And anyway, being young is no excuse for acting like a brat. And fyi, I was defending Eren in episode one.

Some things he did and say in episode two are indefensible. Why do you think it included Mikasa punching him in the face and forcing him to eat bread?

Even I thought he was right in telling those soldiers off, but more props have to be given to Armin for defusing the situation.

And yes, I know Eren had just seen his mom get eaten, but he was still way off in accusing Armin of being livestock for telling him that he shouldn't go and fight the Titans.

Ah yes, the good ol 18th century. Makes sense now, was just hoping they look like, The Empire, guardsmen from Wahammer. Cannons and muskets seem to be pointless on the Titans, except to slow them down so it makes sense armor wouldn't be much help.

Of course, it's just an anime. I'm explaining why Eren isn't completely right all the time even if he's the MC. And especially not when he's acting like a brat.

I've read the manga. This isn't one of those series with a Gary Stu MC who's right all the time. It's one of those wherein the MC learn hard lessons, grow up and learn (from others).

In episode 1, Eren was the one who is the most right. In episode 2, it's Armin and Mikasa, and even Hannes who is the most right.

Being about 12 and under is a perfect excuse for being a brat. There's no kid that doesn't act like a little prick every now and then and after all the crap that's going on here I wouldn't be surprised. He's as you say, 'expressing his emotions'. The others feel the same considering all the shit they went through, but they're trying to keep themselves together, but Eren can't do that since even before all this he has always despised living in those walls and the situation just broke him more.

Yeah, throwing the bread was dumb, calling Armin out like that was dick move, but he can't control his emotions right now. He's not like Mikasa who's always calm or Armin who uses his brains and common sense to realize their situation, so he just spoke out on how he felt.

I think people who have this problem with him will be more pleased with Eren soon though.

Yeah, the anime "expanded" very well on maybe about... 30 pages of manga material. It's NOT filler.

So, right now, the anime has consumed about 2-ish chapters worth of material. I'm now more hopeful that it will break at the end of the 8th volume, meaning not an anime original ending.
