I think you're confusing anime with manga.


Well most anime have still shots is all I'm saying. Some high budget short ones or movies might not but it's not very often.

Just saying it's kinda redundant to complain about it.

This is not just another anime. This is Shingeki no Kyojin.

I'm greedy and want based Wit Studio to animate everything. Actually, I'm extremely happy with the episode.

Then you would have to ask for movies or short 6-12 episode series of it. Going for 25 episodes without expecting any stills is a crazy thought.

On another note, maybe people will stop bitching about Armin now? Because that was getting annoying.

The "Damn if you do, damn if you don't" kind of thing, which is never unpredictable.

It's not healthy to focus on the negative. Like, really literally not healthy. It makes your serotonin level lower.

Besides, there's more positives in this episode. The 3D gear scenes, the titan battle scenes, the character development. The faithfulness to the manga. A little bit of expansion (not fillers!).

Go watch some Jojo bizarre adventure, you'll see some entire episodes of stills.

Now I can understand that the first couple of episodes were crazy good animation is why people are complaining about the sudden change in quality. But unfortunately that's probably a marketing strategy so I wouldn't get your hopes up for the rest of the series.

Cut it off. No one talks about frames. As Amarrez said, it's a choice of animating important scenes, aside budget and all. Point is we are greedy as the next Chihaya and we don't have Mikasa cell number.

Those 3D gear scenes. The Titan-to-Titan fights. The great voice-acting. Beautiful gorgeous faithful adaptation with original content that makes it even more awesome.

Fans of other manga series are going to be praying that Wit adapts their favorite manga.

Well stills are inevitable is the unfortunate truth with how fast anime is chucked out. They probably were limited in earlier episodes so it could make a strong first impression and people would continue to watch and buy the series.

A shame but inevitable in most series.

Is what I would say if I were such a complainer of sorts. The animation was great, although I do have to say something about how the 3d maneuver gear moved in some scenes.
Also, Badass Levi in the preview!

I loved how Jean cut that Titan's finger to get out of its grip. That was awesome. Everything else was very good too. I actually liked the stills. Sometimes, they are better than animation. This is my favorite Attack on Titan episode so far.

The stills haven't really bugged me much so far, but that part in the middle of the episode was really bad. Like 2 minutes of dialogue with nothing but a couple stills and panning. I hope they are planning on at least adding a little animation there.

The rest was great, though.

With one "still" exception and going a bit overboard with Jean's close-ups, it was an awesome episode! Jean's monologue I hope finally would help people understand better what means to fight the titans face to face, and it should be reasonably considered, given it comes from the man, who usurped the standard for realism.

Anyway, first things first: Armin changes the dire situation by capitalizing the appearance of the new reification of humankind:



Some Titans Works - awesome, Titan CanCan, DAT Payback, and revealing (at last):



Annie, because she is next to drop dead gorgeous:


Marco and Jean (a seeded tribute):


Mikasa's world is going to be totemo utsukushii again:


I'd rather prefer the scene with the three of them, this one is no less touching:

Seems like it's doing pretty much what I said in the previous episode discussion.

Maybe it was just me but it felt like they extended the scene where Sasha failed to kill the titan.

I'm okay with them using stills for unimportant scenes like walking down stairs or filling up the gas tanks. I do think they were used way too much in this episode, though. They ruin the viewer's immersion in the world.

That slow mo punch when Jean was looking at the titans probably ate up a good chunk of the budget lol. You could see the flesh on the titan's face RIPPLING from the force

Spectacular episode again, I thought Eren would stay in Titan form, didn't think he'd get his human form back. He can probably still man Titans though.

The OST is absolutely amazing, can't wait for next week. I want to read the manga so badly but it'd be best to just wait it out.

Here comes Levi.

Animation quality dropped a lot this episode, quite a few stills used too. The scene when they had just broke into the storage complex and you see titan Eren's fist punch the titans away from building through a gap in the wall had so much more impact in the manga too. I was looking forward to them doing a good job of animating that but it felt lacking, other than that a pretty decent episode 4/5

Well, what can you expect.. :D I mean, main protagonist disappears, then there's a big black haired titan crushing every other titan.. :D Not obvious at all.. :D

Bit of a screwup, Eren's titan body suddenly got its arms back out of nowhere when it's supposed to be evaporating. In the previous shot when it fell they were clearly gone.
