| Yeah that Titan run was the best part of the episode. Titans are top-tier shounen villains because they're badass without having any stupid abilities, they don't go on monologues during fights, they're evil as fuck, they either look cool or hilarious, and they do funny shit like that. They're the best thing the show has going for it right now. |

| Probably the best episode. Mikasa is the best character. Mod Edit: Removed spoiler |

| I Ekaros said: I think he's dead. Didn't he go crazy after the mim's death or something? I agree with the experimentation hypothesis though. Would explain a lot.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... |

3nvy said: MorningGlory said: Because mommy putting eren in time out is equivalent to dudes murderig mikasa's family and trying to sell her as a sex slave?@3nvy mental disorder.... our Main character(dead) -_-" Well, that was a good reason... He should had kill his mom since he hate her sometimes . but still, killing a two grown up man without hesitation is... From what I see, He is like an experienced murderer. |
| This episode just proved Eren > Mikasa. He was a bad ass little kid, Mikasa was a docile LOSER. |
| Disappointed they didn't show that Franz was completely missing his lower half.....made it that much sadder in the manga. |
| Dude that titan running.. I just... the anime staff must have did that as a joke lol cause that shit was HILARIOUS AS FUCK! Still, great ep. Backstory on Mikasa is welcome, though it's unfortunate what happened to her parents. The world they lived in is fucked man :( Also found it interesting that Mikasa is part of an 'extinct' race. Can't wait to learn more about that as well as how Eren survives. Man, I HATE WAITING A WEEK! |
 |
| So is Mikasa kinda like Morgiana from magi didn't remember her gaining such brute strength when she stabbed the guy in the manga or i could be wrong and it was just a added effect to the scene. |
 |
MorningGlory said: Have you heard of the case where a 13 year old girl killed her neighbor for no reason? She hadn't experienced any trauma to make her like that, she was just insane and felt like it. If kids can be crazy enough to kill for no reason, I think they can be crazy enough to kill for a good reason. It's not normal at all, but has eren seemed entirely normal and rational to you in the rest of this series? He's apparently always had something wrong with him. Good character development imo.3nvy said: MorningGlory said: Because mommy putting eren in time out is equivalent to dudes murderig mikasa's family and trying to sell her as a sex slave?@3nvy mental disorder.... our Main character(dead) -_-" Well, that was a good reason...

pp813 said: Next episode: EREN IS BACK (I'm guessing. lol I don't know). If you think about it, after this episode it's pretty obvious he isn't dead. Not even a spoiler. How else would you explain that Armin managed to pass out on that roof and not immediately get eaten by the same titan? Ymir says "maybe they thought he was dead" which might make sense if one hadn't already almost eaten him and as of last episode had only been a few feet away from him while he was still moving about and screaming. |
SimmianPrime said: They might show it on the blu-ray, though I'm honestly surprised they censored that part considering they have no issues showing people/limbs getting eaten and titan necks getting slashed.Disappointed they didn't show that Franz was completely missing his lower half.....made it that much sadder in the manga. /shrug |

PoeticJustice said: Eren couldn't even put her scarf on properly. And eren wasn't hot enough for people to want him as a sex slave. And he doesn't even have cool lips. And Mikasa didn't get eaten by an eoten. Mikasa stays winning.This episode just proved Eren > Mikasa. He was a bad ass little kid, Mikasa was a docile LOSER. |

| I knew what was gonna happen before watching, but I still liked this flashback. Might be my favorite ep so far, since I wasn't blown away quite as much as some with the other episodes. I like how this one played out. Though the non flashback parts. Dat fucking retard titan. |
OfficialGuts said: Ah, I see.Yvese said: No it was in the manga too, you'll see intelligent titans later on that have a good running form, but dumb titans just run like idiots.. it was drawn the same way in the manga :xDude that titan running.. I just... the anime staff must have did that as a joke lol cause that shit was HILARIOUS AS FUCK! Still funny as hell though XD |
|
| "When Eren is with me, I can do anything." Can't wait to see how she reacts when she finds out what happened to him in the prior episode! So far, I think she's been a pretty boring character, but I'm getting interested in her now. Can't wait for the next episode. This one felt really short for some reason. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
ReasonDesu said: GodlyKyon said: Ew... The animation quality dropped pretty drastically, why do they do these shows episode by episode??? Like, a group of people only has 1 week to prepare by drawing... Looking at the crowd,the entire crowd might as well as be a part of the Durarara background crowd, all of them were faceless.... This thing can sell better than most of the hits in the past years, the animation better be fixed in the BD It's a debut for the studio to be fair and they were advertising for more animators on twitter. Not really inducing great confidence. Although I cannot doubt the animation quality has dropped I'm still really enjoying it. Hal their next project looks to be pretty top notch animation too from the PVs, hopefully they can back it up. What? are you saying this is the first anime for this studio? |

| I liked that we got a backstory on mikasa kind of, But when it finished I realized I really just didn't give a shit. I reaaaalllllly want to find out what happens with Eren and I told myself I wasn't gunna read the manga... But my resolve is weakening... Fuck |
IM BACK |
| That running Titan is just full of lol. The abnormal sure is something else. Mikasa's past was shitty, by shitty I mean horrible. Eren has more balls when he was a child. I wanted to see what Mikasa did to the third criminal. |

Just a wide shot where you could clearly see that it was missing would have been enough to show just how utterly pointless trying to give him cpr was. |
| I didn't expect Mikasa's backstory to occupy an episode. |

But It did enjoy hearing Mikasa's backstory so we can know why she is the way she is, and it will help build up Mikasa's reaction when she finds out the bad news. |

pralan said: FloridaOranges said: Armin is bad and he should feel bad. Why? I like Armin. He's a nice contrast to Ed and his sister. I like how reacts to the situations, like when Hannah is trying to revive that guy and how he was desperately trying to get her to stop. Really hammers in the futility and hopelessness of the world they are in. |

pralan said: He pussied out that's probably why.FloridaOranges said: Armin is bad and he should feel bad. Why? TBH though I don't blame him. He's not the front-line type and this experience should be a wake up call for him. Judging by posts from manga readers, his smarts will be put to good use later which is how it should be. He's a detriment on the battlefield. |

I was hoping he'd die soon (maybe a sacrifice, or just a cruel death for the drama), but the manga readers have pretty much confirmed that isn't going to happen soon. |

But i guess 1 week waiting for the next anime episode is much less painful than waiting for the 4 weeks for the next manga chapter XD |

It was revealed last ep that he's incredibly smart so I was surprised when they sent him out there. I personally can't wait to see how he puts his brain to use. Remember, soldiers need intelligence/technology. It's people like Armin that provide that :P |

3nvy said: 3nvy said: Also these swords cut through shit that cannons don't scratch, but they break after smacking two people with the flats of the blade? C'mon son. It's possible to have action that isn't realistic, but is still logical. What I wanna know is how those spiderman contraptions they use for transportation work. I think they were pretty much gone at that point. Still no sane person goes against person with blank stare who just killed monster size of building... |
3nvy said: It was worn when she struck the titan, not the people. Did u not see the damaged blade after hitting the titan? The blades are made of special steel, and cannons are only effective to slow them down, it DOES scratch them, but they regenerate. And for these "spiderman contraptions", it's basically wire, and gas pressure. The remotes act as blade handles aswell3nvy said: Also these swords cut through shit that cannons don't scratch, but they break after smacking two people with the flats of the blade? C'mon son.

Amarrez said: Oh no, I'm going to be late to Eoten Elementary! Made my day. nnangle said: 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.. That's because they wasted all the budget with these EYES:  /jk/ but still, those eyes are seriously impressive.Amarrez said: Eren is a perfectly well adjusted child. Like his beloved teacher.

3nvy said: What I wanna know is how those spiderman contraptions they use for transportation work. Seems pretty certain they aren't going to give a more detailed explanation in the anime, these are from chapter 3: |
3nvy said: I do agree he is hot blooded guy but I don't think he is mentally insane or crazy. It's not normal at all, but has eren seemed entirely normal and rational to you in the rest of this series? He's apparently always had something wrong with him.

I think its pressured air. |
Takana_no_Hana said: Tyrel said: 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.

| YAY, I caught up. I don't read the manga, but my many years of reading shounen battle manga allows me to KNOW for a fact that Eren is NOT dead and he unleashed his shounen hax to survive....or something happened to spare his life. Anyways, I guess Mikasa's background makes perfect sense why she is how she is. |
