SnK anime is by Production IG and Studio Wit. And the manga is NOT by the Death Note duo.

The credits already have English romanization.

I think my taste is a little different from some people here cause I absolutely LOVED this episode. DAT OST...DAT POTATO GIRL...DAT LIPS MIKASA.
Jokes aside...I think this episode was pretty great...it had comedy, it had drama, it even had some small amounts of action. And those still shots were pretty well directed...
My score so far:
Ep 1: 11/10
Ep 2: 9/10
Ep 3: 10/10

Excellent episode. I suppose this is the obligatory loser-to-hero character transition in the transgressor type characters (eren). It's also good to see that Eren is able to make some friends asides from Mikasa and Armin. That aside, the music really hyped it up for me at the end.

It also seems like the next episode = mini time skip again. When does it stop?

if Mikasa has done it then it should have been revealed long ago on the manga by now and besides its out of character for Mikasa to do that since she is the supportive type

its just faulty equipment thats it

She isn't the supportive type, she's the overly protective type. Why else would she tell Eren to just give up on being a soldier this episode? She wants to protect him no matter what.

Non-manga person here.

A bit of a vibe change but I consider that a good thing, not because I didn't like the first 2 episodes but because it's good to have some variety. Introduced us to some new characters and showed us a bit about them. All in all a solid episode. I also see this one was particularly sparse on animation, but an episode like this didn't really need any crazy Sakuga so they were smart about it. Save the tent pole animation for more "important" episodes.

Not as exiting as the first two episodes, but at least there's some character development here. I like that Eren is starting to act more mature about swallowing his pride and the introduction of the new characters was pretty nice. Hope to see some action in the next episode.

I was worried the show would start turning all shounen with the training and Eren being all talk and having to build himself up, but this ep was a relief. Thank god it was just faulty equipment and the kid can back his big mouth up.

Now the dude can go rape shit.

And my god, Mikasa grew into quite the babe. My face lights up whenever she's on-screen now ;D

Either the manga or the anime probably has a faulty translation. I can't imagine the anime team making such an obvious screw up.

This was beautifully adapted, for a training episode, this was an amazing episode to watch.

Sasha the Potato girl was great, loved the face when she smelled bread from the distance and just snatched the it away from Kristina. You just can't hate this girl for her guts, determination...and her logical way of thinking. Also not to mention how Mikasa trolled her, love it!

I noticed that the anime is dropping hints as the manga did for future situations, so for people who are watching it, keep your eyes out whenever something is mentioned and when the frame switches. ^^

The final part of the episode was glorious, that OST being played when Eren passes as the solider was just epic, and fit perfectly. The relationship between Mikasa and Eren is indeed special.

@ Forgetfulness

I'm not sure why you deleted that but I think you are right that what Eren said didn't match up with with Mikasa's words. At first I just thought she was wrong, but after coming to these forums I'm thinking it was a faulty translation.

Well, going with his theory the instructor said "I've never seen this part of the belt rust before" and they've been fighting for how long again?

But then again, Mikasa probably can't magically make rust :T


Well he said he has never seen it rust there before, but it probably has been known to be an issue (the effects of those faulty pieces not the rust) since he identified it pretty quickly the second time around.

Mikasa probably didn't sabotage his belt. I can't imagine her sneaking into the boys' locker room or dormitory to sabotage Eren's belt.

The author probably just wrote it this way because 1) this series doesn't have magical equipment that never get damaged, never gets worn down or never needs to be refueled.

In real life, a lot of equipment can result in horrible failures when not properly maintained and inspected. Sometimes, it takes just ONE broken part to take down an aircraft.

2) Eren and Armin needs an excuse to make friends. This is one way to do it. Have them looking for help from their classmates. It will also explain why Eren (in later chapters) gets to hang out with Reiner, who's the one who sorta introduced Eren to Annie.

I just wish the anime hadn't excluded the panel wherein it was Marco who suggested that they go ask Reiner and Bertholdt.

3) Something which I think the anime did better than the manga - in the anime, the instructor said that he should include the belts for maintenance and inspection. I don't remember the manga mentioning this. It was a nice touch.

Anyway, there's other "better" reasons for Eren's belt to be damaged. Besides, after Eren's accident - Mikasa would had exchanged her belt with Eren's (if she had sabotaged it) cause she's that overprotective of Eren.

there are some really stupid ones to boot. what? afraid this will be better than FMA? I'm not saying it would be (that depends).... but how idiotic is that? you want an anime to fail just because it endangers your favorite? -_-

Read the manga but didn't have any problems with the adaptation so far... I got over the lips thingy and it really doesn't bother me much...

the manga's order of events has it's reasons but the chronological way also has its perks... let's say the non-manga readers would have the time to know all the characters more so they wouldn't get confused with the fast pacing later on

some parts were not as comical as from the manga, timings were kinda off, but still managed to make me laugh and it's good as it is going

still a super episode 5/5
