THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Mikasa was a boss killing off that first Titan and helping those people.

Mikasa also watched her mom die in the past, just like Eren.

Eren was boss too, fighting the people who killed Mikasa's mom. x'D

Oh and now we know where Mikasa got her treasured scarf. From Eren. ♥

Armin. Get a grip~ The CPR position looked awkward Mikasa is a total boss this episode Just saying. She owned that titan in one swipe.

Little Mikasa= cute imo.

However, I feel really sorry for Mikasa and her childhood especially her parents. Eren being badass this episode in flashback nice.


Nice flashback episode imo and cute scarf. The OST was a little weird imo this week. Still enjoyed it!

Well, that's what happens with popular anime. There are fanboys, haters, idiots, elitests, trolls, attention whores, and wannabe intellects almost every time.

I agree, this adaption has been amazing so far. The anime hasn't cut much from the source, and the pace is great. It's thorough, yet fast enough to keep you interested.

Mikasa is so badass! I'm glad she got that stupid old rich geezer to get his cart out of the gate. I still can't believe she saw her parents get killed in front of her though. I'm glad she's become more composed now, but she's too dependent on living just because Eren's there. She's not going to take his death well...

Speaking of Eren, I don't think that's normal as a child. Is he some psycopath or something? Because temperamental doesn't cover it. I mean most kids at 9 wouldn't be able to manipulate and so easily kill (and repeatedly stab) some thugs- even though those thugs are bad and deserved to be killed. I know he's probably seen dead people before since his dad's a doctor, but that doesn't explain why he was so easily able to murder without even batting an eyelash. That's definitely not normal... I can't decide if he's intelligent and mature for having learned and accepted that from witnessing what happens in nature all the time or abnormally and inhumanly rational for applying it so literally to life without considering laws and morality or anything of the sort which stands for the word 'civilized' in civilization.

Personally, I don't disagree with what he did. He's right, the police, the Germanderie, any and every help, usually arrives late and you have to do what you can to protect yourself and continue living. But inside those walls, I thought the society was more feudal and had laws. So how was it so easy and simple for Eren to understand and apply the 'fight and live or hesitate and die' rule but not be affected by perhaps what the law might say or his father might think or anything like "these people might go to prison and learn to change"? I think there's something more about Eren's past that we don't know. Either that or I'm forgetting how children think and function at the age of 9.

Let's hope we see some budget increase now that we enter the more interesting episodes.

Or maybe using all their money on the first episode and then fucking up the rest was all part of the plain all along..

You generally deal with that shit before releasing the series.

fucking up the rest? this series is still above-par every other anime that has been released so far this year and one of the best that has been released in the recent years.. sure it could use more animators, but thats something that can be fixed in a couple of weeks.

Well looks like they didn't because I think at episode 3-4 they announced they were short on animators and were asked for people VIA Twitter to contact them if they knew anybody, etc.

Wow. Such a powerful episode! Tears rolled down my cheek when Eren put the scarf on Mikasa. We get to know how powerful there bond is!

If Shingeki fans still hate Eren after this episode, I really don't know what is what anymore. At least I can tell that they don't have the right to like Mikasa if they hate Eren.

"But now there is a place for me to return to in this world. Eren, I can do anything for you."

I wonder how Mikasa will react when she knows the only world she considers of returning back to is not there anymore. :(

Too freaking short.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

yeah its the only con I have for this anime.. too many censored scenes.. the scene with Franz dead torso would've been 10x more powerful if we saw the real thing instead of some shades.

Eren isn't a waifu material but Mikasa is. A lot of nerds would like a "sister" like Mikasa, so they dislike Eren because that's where Mikasa's all attention is directed. I am not saying everyone who hates Eren is like that though. Some people have different tastes or reasons which I honestly understand.

Mother of God, I guess some people never become satisfed anymore. This flashback wasn't about Eren turning badass or some shi*, it was showing how Eren has always been a problem child that's been violent and aggressive, and how that side of him saved Mikasa even through rash decisions and turned her into what she is at the present. I personally dno't mind of some people wdn't think Eren is badass (seeing a 9-year old calling criminals rabid dogs that only look like humans seems too dangerous), but with this, nobody can deny that Eren is the reason that Mikasa's badass and has survived until now.
