They had last weeks episode delayed in a lot of parts in Japan from what I've read on other forums. |

And I like how accurately it follows the manga It did take away a lot of the impact, but you could kind of tell from the side view they showed. Unfortunately I had to stream the episode because bitorrent wasn't working. |

Agreed, but even if it does, it wouldn't be until a season 2 (if there is one). Which won't be for at least another year. Could someone tell me this theory [on my profile page]? You don't even need to explain the theory [unless you want to], I'll just piece it together myself. Actually, never mind, if I don't ask you to explain it then someone is going to tell me something completely retarded on purpose. I know you guys. Also, @MellowJello, does the size of the font in your sign correlate to how hyped you are for each episode or anything? It seems like it's been getting bigger. |

MorningGlory said: 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. The peace from the Titans not humanity itself. There is no plothole as anime had already establish that the government in the Walled City is pretty corrupt from ep 2 and what Annie said. |

I read the VangaBond manga and I think Tsujikaze Kohei at least has a more logical explanation than this. I would say that it was because he had that injection, but the timing of it, from what I've gathered even though it's all pretty confusing, was after the first titan attack (the key suddenly around his neck). Otherwise, we know from Armin's account in this episode and later accounts that Eren has always been really gung-ho about doing the right thing, even though he isn't that strong. But I totally agree, there really is no explanation. EDITED |

The abnormal titan was hilarious, and little!Eren was scary, as was little!Mikasa after her transformation. Loved watching her take out the freaking trash though. |

StopDropAndBowl said: The problem I have with it is that no 9 year old would ever say that kind of thing, or would even have the capacity to think like that. Reality is that kids parrot what is said around them, only as they grow older do they begin to have their own ideas, thought-processes, language. As of yet, there is no real indication that Eren's parents taught him anything concerning the idea of criminals being rabid dogs that only look like humans. That is a concept that is just too deep for me to accept that a child came up with it on his/her own, not to mention the whole "fight or die!" concept. I think they could easily have kept him doing something like that (killing the shit out of some people at a young age to save Mikasa) without shoving concepts into his mouth that don't belong there. It's just a part of the story-line that I don't think works that well. For one, it's unrealistic. For another, it doesn't seem to fit the character all that well. Regardless of what the people he killed were doing (and yeah, they definitely deserved it) for a kid like that to display such unthinking violence with not even a hint of remorse is a strong sign of serious mental disorders. You'd have to be one fucked up little kid to do that (again, let's be clear, the dudes deserved it) and not have any mental hang-ups about it. Maybe they'll go into that later, but they gave no hints of it before which is a flaw imo. And having him be an angry person doesn't cut it. That kind of behavior should have manifested itself in a lot of different ways other than rash and quick to anger and prone to aggression. Due to it being so out-of-the-blue and a little bit over-the-top, I just can't help but think that a big part of the motivation behind putting that particular story in there was to outline how "badass" a character he is. It just would have been better to me to have him save her from wolves or something. Or to give signs in his personality BEFORE this happened (being only slightly more aggressive than 99% of boys his age would be doesn't cut it) that hinted at something like that existing within him. And it was definitely a mistake, IMO, to have him spouting off concepts like: "Criminals are rabid dogs" and "Fight or die!" unless it was clear that he was parroting someone elses thoughts. I seriously think you are wrong. First of all, because we are talking about Eren. He is not your average kid, he is exceptional for a number of reasons I don't want to spoil. Secondly, if at the age of 9 you would see 2 criminals who just murdered someone and wouldn't THINK how you could get rid of them, now that would be a serious mental disorder. Thirdly lol, human kind is driven by instincts in a very little proportion, but one of those instincts still calls for surviving. Even 9 year old are pretty much aware of what is happening around them, because at that age you can fucking make the difference between good and bad. Just because he is 9 doesn't mean he is retarded or stupid... just highly inexperienced. In fact, it is THAT age that is likely more prone to higher moral values than the perverted after puberty shit. Let me just ask you... why do you think there is such thing as juvenile crimes? And how many homeless kids at very young ages have you seen or heard of doing unbelievable things, smoking god know what, stealing, begging for money, doing just about anything... guess age doesn't really matter, does it? |

I definitely wouldn't go as far as to call the visuals in this episode bad. They were perfectly fine. Bad for me would be, for example, something like that one episode of Psycho-Pass for which they even issued an apology on twitter. The outlining being bad is just your own personal preference. |

This thing can sell better than most of the hits in the past years, the animation better be fixed in the BD |

It's not a bad episode, but I just don't like how it's placed here Well that's exactly how it was done in the manga, so can't argue with it. Basically having Misaka flashbacks showed us her resolve to always be with Eren, etc. Thus she's now going to where Eren and them are, just to find out what has become of him. |

Durbikins said: Not really. Eren just died and Mikasa hasn't found out yet. Now they're fleshing out the relationship to build suspense and to really rub the sadness of his death in the audience's face. Good timing imo. It'll be pointless if eren gets resurrected though.It was a nice flashback episode, but this was the worst time to show it. |

This is just a thought so don't spoil it for me as I haven't read the manga... What if the Titans are man made biological weapons? Think about it, they don't have genitalia and apparently can't reproduce. They pretty much render weapons ineffective with their regeneration and on top of that require no sustenance and devour humans for fun. That sounds more like a machine then a living being. As I stated before, I haven't read the manga I just thought that would be an interesting plot twist where a bunch of scientists create the ultimate weapon but can't give it enough intelligence to understand anything other then kill humans and ends becoming the cause of the near extinction of the human race. On an unrelated note this series is great, it combines the perfect combination of action, blood and gore, happiness and immense sadness/creepiness. 10/10 in my book. |

Being a non-manga reader, I really loved this episode. Seeing Armin being all powerless and feeling as if everything is all over was very saddening. Hannah trying to save Franz was very sad too. Mikasa taking down that abnormal titan running crazily was fucking awesome! Geez, for Mikasa to see her parents die like that would have traumatized her for life. Eren was such a badass; he even killed two men. I absolutely loved the scene when Mikasa was holding the knife and was remembering how she pretended not to notice that the world is merciless. Eren pretty much saved Mikasa's life forever. The scene with Eren giving Mikasa the scarf was so beautiful. A very emotional episode and now I understand why people love Mikasa so much. <3 |

On one hand, it's kind of cool, but on the other hand it feels like a really cheap and unrealistic way to make a character "badass". 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. The problem I have with it is that no 9 year old would ever say that kind of thing, or would even have the capacity to think like that. Reality is that kids parrot what is said around them, only as they grow older do they begin to have their own ideas, thought-processes, language.

Lets not forget that they live in a world of constant terror and internal struggles over power and greed. People learn things quick as a young age in order to survive. Eren being the son of a Doctor is surrounded by such things as human vs human conflicts. Let's also not forget that Eren is a problem child as they've only briefly touched on. His parents never taught him how to kill people but he definitely picks it up from the people around him. You just have to let it slide right now until they start dropping in scenes from his past and also showing more on the inner workings of the castle's society. |

I love the flashback and it really pointed the reason why Mikasa owed Eren a big debt for her life by being very protective of him. Man, Eren's was such a badass along with Mikasa. Anyway, I was expecting the nxt. ep's preview will show Eren being alive or something but I guess the arc would take 4 parts to complete before we see some of epic moment of Heroic BSOD. Oh I forgot, it's funny that others in the thread misspelled Mikasa's name as 'Misaka' who is also a badass gal from another anime coincidentally. |

DeathfireD said: I believe this is the earliest time of eren's past that we've had an extended look into. And if that's true then you're an idiot and your post makes no sense. Besides the stupid generalization about children's thought processes. There are always exceptions and fucked up kids. And not only does it fit his character, but it explains a lot.The problem I have with it is that no 9 year old would ever say that kind of thing, or would even have the capacity to think like that. Reality is that kids parrot what is said around them, only as they grow older do they begin to have their own ideas, thought-processes, language. As of yet, there is no real indication that Eren's parents taught him anything concerning the idea of criminals being rabid dogs that only look like humans. That is a concept that is just too deep for me to accept that a child came up with it on his/her own, not to mention the whole "fight or die!" concept. I think they could easily have kept him doing something like that (killing the shit out of some people at a young age to save Mikasa) without shoving concepts into his mouth that don't belong there. It's just a part of the story-line that I don't think works that well. For one, it's unrealistic. For another, it doesn't seem to fit the character all that well. Regardless of what the people he killed were doing (and yeah, they definitely deserved it) for a kid like that to display such unthinking violence with not even a hint of remorse is a strong sign of serious mental disorders. You'd have to be one fucked up little kid to do that (again, let's be clear, the dudes deserved it) and not have any mental hang-ups about it. Maybe they'll go into that later, but they gave no hints of it before which is a flaw |

Mikasa being a straight up badass titan killer like everyone knew she'd be. Depressing backstory with a heartwarming ending. Next episode she learns of Eren's death. This is gonna be hard to watch :/ |

MorningGlory said: Pretty much. Pussies have always existed and they always will. You're not making much sense here.DeathfireD said: How would you explain Armin's personality ...Lets not forget that they live in a world of constant terror and internal struggles over power and greed. People learn things quick as a young age in order to survive. genetically born loser? lol |

THAT TITAN RUN MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD it was just so weird I laughed :P This ain't no filler guys. Anyone who says it is >.< it's totally the best because it's all about Mikasa and how she met Eren. Even though it was super sad, it was an interesting way to meet. Armin, it's true you're kinda sad and you ain't no use there with them oh well :1 I don't think Eren's dead, he's the main character(never read the manga)!! He's probably gonna do something bada** in the Titan and kill it from the inside. Keep your friends close, but your enemies CLOSER :3 Next episode: EREN IS BACK (I'm guessing. lol I don't know). Eren's a sweetheart. No wonder Mikasa wears it all the time |

SupaNiper said: So my theory is that "Dr. Jeager" have been treating Mikasa and possibly Eren with some weird drugs when they were younger?? And that explains the Epic Hilt Crushing ability?? I have only watched the Anime so i don't know. I really hope we get an explanation for it though.. I know there are titans'n shit, but superpowers?? Meh.. And the basement key, and the dreams... He isn't dead yet? Or did I miss something? I think he has some sort of role to play in future... I think Armin is the more normal, not messed up in head, kind of intellectual character. His reactions to stuff seem to be most natural. Probably how I would have ended up at that age seeing that stuff in front of my eyes... |
