As refreshing as that would be, there`s simply no way that they would kill off a character so early on, especially when they spent the previous 5 episodes building him up. And let`s not forget this is shonen. (Well, I`d really like if it broke the tropes, but I seriously doubt it.) |
| Titan at beginning reminded me Aku no Hana screenshot I saw. Glorious 5/5. |
 |
Eren simply cannot into scarves. |

| YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE'S A BADASS! |
| Oh the animation was pretty bad this episode too. Characters outlining is just so bad. You could see the dark outlines far too much from before. Bunch of other stuff too.. |

| Another awesome episode that shows the depth of Eren and Mikasa's relationship as well as who Mikasa herself is. We find that Mikasa is half-European, half-Japanese (of course...) which accounts for her Asian name in comparison with all the European ones being tossed around. Eren it turns out was a badass even before the Titans attacked an actually saved Mikasa when she was kidnapped after her family was killed. Eren is an awesome character who is the one who convinced Mikasa to fight and gave her a home. He is also from whom she gets her signature scarf. Now how Eren learned to fight and kill like that without fear is a mystery to me, since he doesn't come from a sad past or a neglected childhood, so I do wonder how he became so cold-blooded as a young child. However, it was refreshing change from the usual kids I see in anime, who mostly act like young Mikasa. We also get some of Armin who is in shock and despair at this point over seeing Eren's death. We dread what he has to tell Mikasa. Great episode, I give it a firm 9/10. |

Well see how this goes, but the story gets better and better. Score up to after this episode 10/10 (well, more like 9,5 rly). Hope this keeps up, looks damn promising so far. |
| Oh yes. Ohhhhhhhhh yes.  |

| Wow i really feel for Mikasa, and little Eren was a badass! But is Eren really dead?? |

| Mikasa's back story is one of the saddest I've seen, and Eren was pretty badass. Can't wait for next week, and the anime is going exactly as the manga is,so far. GOD WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK? |

| Armin still in shocked after Eren's death. We see Franz who was half eaten. That Titan surprised me when it ran across . Then Mikasa flawlessly killed it and other one later on. Damn so that's what happen to her parents. Eren was the reason why she was alive and why she cares for him so much. Eren was bad*** back then. Hmm when the Titans was killed they looked like they were disintegrating/burning up? There was steam coming off from them. |
| damn. he was a killer as a kid. and what's with her breaking the floor before the stab LOL. super human? |

| It was a nice flashback episode, but this was the worst time to show it. |
 |
| Just wanted to point out that the "super human" strength of Mikassa was actually in the manga as well. |

I think that lecture talked of them being very hot and it was raining so it was steam... Makes them more scary anyway... That childhood... Still, I wonder what stuff Eren's father has been doing all along... |

| Uhhhh flashback episode, still cant wait for the next episode though |
| I lost it at that Titan's girly run. I thought they might delay this flashback until later when the incident gets mentioned again |
| holy shit they replace the somewhat injection scene of Mikasa for a cloth stitching to represent their clans symbol |
| Holy shit! Eren was such a badass even when he was a kid! Mikasa too! Definitely one of the better animes to come out this :D |
 |
For anyone interested in the #'s regarding the number of animators and stuff. Budget isn't the problem like numerous people have been saying or "Saving budget" per say. Episode 2 had 20 Key Animators and 2 Secondary Animators Episode 6 had 34 Key Animators and 39 Secondary Key animators.. |

| Great flashback I liked the part with the scarf and Eren telling Mikasa that they were going home. Mikasa was awesome in this episode and young Eren was awesome too. I see a lot of people complaining because of the flashback, it's really annoying. 5/5 Great episode I have high hopes for the next one as well. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I'm kind of disappointed since I went ahead and ruined what happened/going to happen by reading the manga. And now I don't get as hyped up for the anime. Anyways, this episode was really good. I liked the new song they added. I didn't like the angle they chose to show Franz (the guy Hannah was doing C.P.R. on) since it was kind of hard to tell he was cut in half. But the rest of the episode helped me realize small details that I didn't notice in the manga. I wonder what made Eren into such a 'crazy kid.' He killed those two men without hesitation and brutally stabbed the second guy over and over again. Furthermore, is it just me, or is it weird that Dr. Jaeger visited Mikasa many times when she was younger. I mean, anime typically don't point out things like kids being sick a lot, unless it was a big deal. Did he do something? What was in his basement. And what did Dr. Jaeger do to Eren (as seen in Episode 2). MEanimaniac1 said: Mikasa's back story is one of the saddest I've seen, and Eren was pretty badass.

| Oh damn, that part where Eren saved Mikasa was awesome! I really liked the part where Eren gave Mikasa the scarf :) |
| Great episode, the relationship between Eren and Mikasa much more profound now. Eren's actions are definitely surprising, but understandable. I always knew he had a strong sense of justice, but I didn't know just much. This is of course guy a who throw himself into a Titans mouth if meant he would save person. He certain cares a lot about people. |
| by far my favorite anime this season, this is gonna be awesome. and that must have been freaking traumatizing. watching her parents killed right in front of her. and i still can't believe they went and killed eren off, he was pretty awesome, but mikasa is by far the most awesome, especially how she just killed that titan and helped those people out at the beginning. Looking forward to next week to see how she reacts to Eren's death. gonna be good. |

| They kind of censored showing Franz chopped in half, which is going to be less impacty for many people who didnt notice it. And I like how accurately it follows the manga |

3nvy said: and then we remember this is a shonen anime, lol.That scene where eren was telling mikasa to fight was dumb. "if you don't fight you won't win" No shit, sherlock. And then the bad guy, hearing this exchange and knowing there's a knife on the floor behind him, just lets mikasa stab him. And eren coherently talked while being strangled to death. And mikasa broke floorboards despite being like 10. |

| I thought the city has a 100year peaceful history. It was strange to see how violent Eren was in his childhood. If Eren was a son of a war lord or bandit's son with violence influence , I am sure Eren can become violent as well. Unfortunately, Eren father is not that kind of person. I hope the Anime will give another flashback to show us why Eren has such behavior just to fill in this plot hole. The flashback in manga very unrealistic for me as I already mentioned a few episode back but still It was nice to watch if I pretend I am just stupid and its a bit dangerous to even aired something like this... I read the VangaBond manga and I think Tsujikaze Kohei at least has a more logical explanation than this. |
 Lets go home :) Mod Edit: Removed advertising. |
