| Good episode overall. Kinda went fast, and the Levi part felt really disjointed, but you gotta introduce new characters somehow. I'm looking forward to seeing how Eren's group and Levi's come together. So.... I'm half wondering if Eren's dad who's been missing since the beginning is actually the Colossal Titan, who for some reason is trying to take down the king/organization or whatever in the innermost wall, and free humanity from it's prison. Armored titan would be some cohort of his as well, though I don't see how he expects humans to reproduce after a mass slaughter that nearly wipes humanity from the planet. Perhaps he did the same to Mikasa, and they're supposed to become the Adam/Eve of the new world? |

| I didn't really like this episode, it was the first one for me, I thought Levi's voice was out of place and it didn't fit with my original impression of him (the doctor sucked too and she was awesome in the manga). This was the bit of the manga I enjoyed the least too and to see it accentuating all cliche aspects of the story was pretty boring for me 3/5 |

Levi doesn't like it that Hanji's more excited over meeting deviant Titans than over him. Yeah, Hanji X Levi shippers are going to milk that scene for everything it's worth. Riding this train and loving it. Levi did not disappoint, he definitely lived up to his hype. I remember when everyone was marking out because he was on a horse looking to the side for two seconds, so I thought it was pretty sweet to see why everyone loves him. That moment where you see his hook shoot behind the one titan eating the guy was so bamf. I'm liking Hanji as well. I find the lieutenant female with glasses (near the end of the episode) quite intriguing, and much more of an actual character than the idiot commander. It's remarkable how cowardly that guy is. I foresee a particularly ignominious death for him, like a Titan falls on him after being cut down by Eren or Mikasa. Either that or he's going to live through the series and make my blood pressure rise a couple points. Poor Armin, his :-o face when Eren was sleeptalking was hilarious. Mikasa is as always a force of nature, I love how the one soldier said that it'd be a shame to lose her. More like it'd be a shame to get cut down by her, but it's okay if he wants to front like that. And then...that ending. The lightning isn't a teleportation effect, but a transformation effect? So CT and AT are definitely human. There's a third faction out there that has different interests from humanity and the Titans. Awesome. I'm totally in this for the mystery as well as for the action. Eren didn't see when CT actually changed either time, did he? So he may not know that CT is probably human. Time to hop back in my time machine and jump forward a week... |
 this guy is the worst!! he's the same coward who wanted to run away in episode 5!! i really wish he ends up in a crowded stomach of a 5 meter class titan, and dies slowly >:( to be honest, this is the first episode that i didn't like |
Link2thepast said: I heard that you guys have been arguing about how the inside of a stomach looks like, But who cares if it should have been dark or not or if that is the actual configuration of a stomach looks like it is a titan after all so just enjoy the show. Lol agreed. Who cares. And actually since the Titans are hot anyway, a bit of glow is true to the physics. Look up black-body radiation on Wikipedia or something. (Although it does have to be really hot for the glow. But hey. Who cares.) |
| Armin, the dumb idiot... Every single useless soldier.. they are all talk. Seems like Mikasa and Eren are the only ones actually worth living there. |

Always thought it was weird a destroyer like him was a lowly lance corporal (unless manga translation was wrong). he is a corporal, in both anime and manga.... they just treat him like a captain because he's one of the best soldiers I guess that sort of makes sense but they never call him a corporal though. they did, well one of the citizens called him "Corporal Levi". i double checked. are you talking about the english subs or the japanese dialogue? |

If you go according to the fansubs, that is. They haven't done anything to him, the Japanese name for his rank is still the same, it's probably translation inconsistency. |

There's something totally different at his level! Of course, he's one of the best soldiers in the series. He's not one of the. He IS the best Not best soldier only... The dream of the girls, the hero of the kids. Ooohh, so many characters that will die a horrible painful death... If anybody still wonders about the difference b/w trainees (talented and super-talented as the Top Ten) and soldiers (sadly, only those from the Scouting Legion), the anime adaptation here gives the right amount of it, even when the later are dying. I have to admit that anything in the manga that pertains to the governing and management of the cities, freaks me out. Just when I expected that the humankind will embrace what they even didn't earn, they were trying to kill Eren and were frightened and disgusted. Awesome build-up at the last 1/3 of the episode, thank you, IG, for the heart-attack in the cliff-hanger! :) OK, so we were spoiled silly with other favorite characters and more of the stunning OST, my pick however goes to this:  The only thing that cannot be seen, unfortunately, are the murasaki flowers seen in the previous scene and in Episode 1. That was totally badass |

How about that Freddie Mercury titan though? |

Durbikins said: How can they have a beard when they don't even have genitals..How about that Freddie Mercury titan though? |
| This is perfect example of mankind's retardiness. A huge-ass titan appears, killing every other titan and of course, fucking humans have to bitch about it and call him a monster. Plus, I'd love to kill that commander, he himself must be pretty useless and now he's deciding about fate of those who deserve glory? It is Eren and Mikasa who should decide about his fate, not the opposite. |
Durbikins said: How about that Freddie Mercury titan though? too bad he did not kill any man to tell his mama |
nnangle said: Durbikins said: How can they have a beard when they don't even have genitals..How about that Freddie Mercury titan though? That's a mustache. Although you're right. That's one sexy mustache. |
Durbikins said: How about that Freddie Mercury titan though? I also thought the exact same thing when i saw this guy. There's also a titan that looks like a bald Goebbels near him |

MEanimaniac1 said: RedArmyShogun said: Honestly I don't get why, but I enjoy the manga, but the anime I just seem unable to get into.. You're gonna have a bad time here. lol likely. I mean maybe its just as the manga is so far ahead and like there is no shock or surprise value in it for me at all. Its like "Well about fucking time". Ah well it was nice to See Freddie Fukken Mercury though. |
| Highlights of the episode: 1. Levi 2. Freddy Mercury titan 3. Eren's transformation from inside the bearded titans stomach. |
MusicSynesthesia said: Awesome episode! Love the music, love the action! Though, did anyone else find it astonishingly idiotic to aim their cannon at their precious wall, with the intention of killing three people standing in front of it? What you can wait of humanity? |
 |
| WOAH WOAH WOAH! So much went on this episode man and it left off at such a tense part, why did they do that. BUT all I know is that Levi is getting more screen time and I love Levi and that's all that matters |
 |
| This anime never ceases to amaze, fucking amazing! Now I understand why so many people love Levi, he's such a freaking badass. He's get the same mentality as Eren. I'm really interested about his past now. The scene with Eren in the titan's stomach and seeing people still inside it as well was so creepy. Thus, Eren Titan was born, fuck yeah! The second half was so intense, I had goosebumps. Mikasa looked so awesome and it just shows that she really cares for Eren. The last 5 minutes was the best part of the episode. Eren remembering about the injection from his father, about the basement and turning into a motherfucking badass hollow-looking Titan. Yeah, I came buckets. The OST is also brilliant, I just have to keep mentioning every episode. God, every episode ends with a cliffhanger. I'm going to die waiting another week. xD 100/5 |

| Levi and Hanji were cool This part kinda reminded me of FMA:B with the lightning.  |

Stomaches are dark as hell, man. I would know. Mhmmm of course you would. Who fucking wouldn't know? Everyone knows stomaches are dark as hell, man. Don't give me no shit. Maybe all the people the Titans are eating coalesce into a Philosopher's Stone. Those glow, right? |

| Now i see why Levi has almost the same number of user favorites as Eren. |
|
| LOL the show's writing is hilarious. Looks like things are going to become full shounen mode soon. I am ready for the friendship speeches. *Side Note* That Levi guy should be the main character, forget Eren and Mikasa. |
| This episode went by so fast. I also don't really like what is going on. How the town thinks that Eran is a traitor. It's annoying. I hope it ends by next episode. I kind of predicted that Eran would eventually leave town with some of the other members to go see the outside world. I'm guessing this will lead into that. Hopefully it happens sooner rather then later. I'm annoyed with these townspeople. I don't read the manga. Don't spoil it for me. This is my favorite anime since FMA. |

|
| oh fuck this shit. another amazing ep imo. dat ost was freaking awesome. wow dat end :o |
| HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE SEVEN DAYS FOR THE NEXT ONE?!?!?! LIFE IS UNFAIR!!! |
| Is a person's destiny like a cloud moving with an inescapable flow, or can a person choose the flow he wishes?... I still don't know the answer to this. Either way, the destination may be the same in the end. However, by choosing to live like the latter, a person can live and strive towards a goal. I have finally understood those who have that are truly strong. I have but one goal; I want to become stronger... Enough not to lose to anyone. - Neji Hyuuga |
| Having not read the manga, I was wondering where all the boners and ladyboners for Levi were coming from... I'm starting to understand. And accept. He is a total badass! I'm extremely interested in Hanji, though, haha. 5/5 ep. |

| With Eren coming out of a titan and able to create just the titan's torso in a flash, one has to wonder if all these titans walking around are like Eren. Would that also mean that humanity was just fighting his own kind all along? |

Would that also mean that humanity was just fighting his own kind all along? I had thought so too, but look how Eren got out of his titan body when it died. Shouldn't that happen to every other titan if that was the case? |

| Levi ftw! He's a real badass. Already one of my favorite characters this season. |
 |
| The episode went fast. Levi is badass. I'm sure he has more than that to have so many fans. The reaction of people concerning Eren being a Titan is predictable, of course they'll be scared. I wonder if this will last forever or temporary until he prove himself that he is not a threat. So the injection his father gave him is what turn him into that. I wonder how it work and what the hell is in their basement? Secret lab? Eren being able to transform into a titan just by biting his finger is pretty neat. |

If you're expecting generic friendship speeches you will be disappointed, or not disappointed, rather. And Levi is a major character with plenty of screentime, though we won't see much of him for a few more episodes. |
| damn Hanji is the best girl for me at the moment love her more than in the manga Hanji x Levi  |

Eren being able to transform into a titan just by biting his finger is pretty neat. I feel like now that he has become sentient in the fact he can become a titan, and has already, means he'll be able to control it in titan form. Unless he loses consciousness when he transforms... But hopefully he can prove that he isn't a threat when he is a titan. They obviously need a weapon like that. The act of transforming is extremely badass looking, I agree. :D |
| |
| Gotta love Levi's spin attack! But yeah, kinda sucks that Eren is considered a traitor.. So apparently his dad developed something that lets humans spawn and control a titan? I guess that's the stuff they'll find in the basement. |
mixordia said: Manga Fangirl... so nothing is new for me, but SHIT... What was this episode? *Thrilled* Mikasa... I could turn into a lesbian for her without any problem :P lol ikr? :D Mikasa's my hero. Plus we also got the scene where she picked up Eren fireman style XD |
 |
| Now Sasha's personality doesn't feel that unique anymore, but fuck it, I'M STILL CHEERING HER ON! |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| Originally when reading the manga I thought Yuu Kobayashi would be a perfect voice for Hanji, but I must say she is great as Sasha and Romi Paku is most defiinitely good as Hanji, too. |
mixordia said: Mikasa... I could turn into a lesbian for her without any problem :P I feel you XD |
 |
| I have no idea what just happened at the end, but that was EPIC AS FUCK. |
