Does that mean that every single Titan is "piloted" by someone or something ? Because their "weak point" is actually the location where the "pilot" is suppose to be.

episode was ok, developed the bond between Armin and Eren nicely, though didn't do much to advance the plot. Also the animation that goes on behind armin while he's giving the speech makes it look really melodramatic

BTW....since this episode didn't get a 5/5 from me I guess that means this anime can't be considered "Perfect" and thus will not receive a 10/10 from myself.

>I've seen some people argue like that BTW.

LOL. Its already a 10/10 in my book.

Don't think there are "perfect" stories or anime if you look hard enough you can always find flaws with something. Really just comes down to if you think a shows good enough for you to ignore it's flaws

Finally a competent leader that othe guy was pissing me off. Armin was pretty cool this episode, though it was a little slow it was still good. The next episode looks like it will be good. Hopefully Eren can prove to everybody that he is really on their side.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Slow episode, but was okayish. Dat thick cloud.. lul. Didn't really like the flashbacks, as I was hoping for it to progress just a bit faster to the better parts..

Commander needs to smoke a big one. Also Armin using the obvious way to get out of this :3.

Overall meh episode coming from a manga reader. I feel like they dragged it too much. Anyways next week will be the better parts.


Lol...that thick cloud of smoke seemed to last like 5 minutes. How realistic (not).

Don't apply real logic when watching anime, everyone should know that, you can always find something unrealistic in every anime.

Anw, good episode, didn't expect it was such a slow pace one.

You mean like a world where 50 m giants appear out of nowhere to devour humans who live enclosed a giant wall which they somehow built while these man-eating giants roamed around, and somehow one of the humans can magically turn himself into a giant for no explained reason so far?

Yeah, check that logic at the door.

...Why? Were you already satisfied with your knowledge of that scene from the manga or is your attention span just that short?

Of course there is always going to be something unrealistic in every anime, but in most cases, these moments are explained by logic valid within the anime. For example, the magical system, superpowers etc. And that makes an anime truly great in my eyes. Thus, I don't necessarily agree with the statement that we should not apply logic when watching anime. I think that it's an important part of critiquing an anime.

The really long thick cloud while everyone was frozen, allowing Eren + co. to communicate, just bothered me. It's my own opinion of this episode, I suppose.

I can understand why he skipped ahead... it was just sooo annoyingly slow paced. This Scene was way better in the Manga... maybe because i didn't needed 10 Minutes to read this.

The thick cloud is prolong due to the drama and flashback.That is one fkin long 15sec . xD

around 12:35, Eren mouth stop moving even thou he is talking. Now that is too obvious to ignore . As a fan of the Anime, I will take that as ventriloquism lol

Please refer to my response to Takana. I explain that I accept everything as long as it makes sense within the world of the anime.

The smokescreen is combination of steam (from decomposing Titan), debris thrown up by the initial explosion and smaller collapses as the skeleton decomposes.

Because of the steam (continuously expelled by skeleton) - it's more like a fog than a debris cloud. The steam is hot, warm, so continues to rise and it carries with it dust and particles from the debris.

Kek, this is a series from Japan wherein swords actually get dull.

I haven't read the manga, but I could tell that this episode dragged out a lot longer than necessary. Nothing really happened except they built things up to be potentially pretty epic.

So, is it just me or do shonen anime have no idea what time is? I mean, those 15 seconds were not 15 seconds...

I'm actually amazed as to how fast the sub team subbed the episode. I thought this stuff took a lot of time...

its an effect. The time of monologue and flashback was shown to us in a more dramatic, slowed down pace compared to real time.

even though i havent seen it for years and i never bothered watching the whole thing.
that '15/20 seconds' (5 minutes) reminded me of that line in DBZ where friezer (sp?) shoots the core of namek i think it was, and says they have '5 minutes' (4 or 5 episodes) before the planet explodes.

bit too much talking this episode, what they covered was important, but it didnt need to take that long. also, they seem to have the ability to make smoke machines.

Another slow paced episode, however Armin's speech was really great. I'm glad that they cleared up the misunderstanding that he is the "useless" one in the group. I'm really hoping that in the next episode or two we get to find out what's in the damn basement!
