This episode was kinda slow for my tastes to be honest but at least Armin got some development and hopefully this is the last we see of his inferiority complex.

I'm glad Eren questioned his fathers whereabouts. Ever since episode 2, I've wondered where the hell Dr. Jaeger was and thought it was wierd how Eren never thought of him.

Everyone panicking ;o Dat OST again. My ears. I still admire Eren's determination in this series and the promises he has made. Some flashbacks here and there.

Oop here comes another cannon shot. I kinda liked Armin's determination this episode as well.

The kid's got some balls.

But ya, that bearded commander really pisses me off, even in this episode. Go Armin~
Ohi Pixus. Much cooler commander tbh.
Well the whole ep was supposed to focus on Armin lol I guess they wanted to make him look more "Manlier".

Does that mean that they are planing for a cliffhanger ending?I see no profit from a recap if they want an original ending.Why would they waste an ep like that instead of throwing some deaths and hack & slash scenes?


Production issues and for keeping the pace good? they will probably end it on Chapter 30-31.


I'd think that's where they might end too. My only fear is that they'll do a claymore, where once the last 2 eps comes, the anime deviates from the manga and ends completely like crap.

Don't jinx it, no but if they do that and there is a second season it'll probably be shit. Tetsurou Araki does have a habit of shit endings (Guilty Crown) but who knows.

That's one of the reasons why people say it's good they are doing a recap. There's no point in doing one(since they're kind of a downer in the ratings) if they aren't planning on conserving chapters, there's no point to conserve any chapters if you're planning on making it an anime only ending.

I shed a tear too, which confused me. Then i noticed I wasn't even paying attention to the subtitles. Which means the music was so damn good that all they had to do was put some gibberish screaming to it to make it dramatic enough for tears.

Worst episode yet. I think they've put a little too much emphasis this part of the story compared to the manga. Well whatever it was still enjoyable, but boring compared to the rest. Now things are about to get fun!

I have been so excited for this episode and it certainly didn't disappoint me at all! Yes it was just talking, as many of my friends complained about when I talked to them, but it was still amazing. It was Armin's first time to truly shine and discover just how important he is in the trio. It was great! I love the music and how it was animated and just wow...I am so glad they did his speech that well!

I'm glad to see Armin shine at last. Every important character is assigned his or her own special role. You can count on it.
A good sotry must have character development part here and there, which makes it more attractive.
If each episode of this show consisted only of battle, it would be boring to death instead.
I'm looking forward to watching following episodes all the more.

Good, I thought I was the only one who thought his voice sounded A LOT more rough

I also noticed this too. Kaji did a great job voicing Eren this episode, his voice being more rough because Eren was tired and drained from using the titan form :)

ah yep. Eren is so drained and Kaji always does a great job in voicing him ಥ_ಥ
This episode is for Armin and MORE EREN PLS whenwillIteasemyeyeswhenheturnsintotitan

Eren said to Mikasa, "Ore wa omae no otouto demo kodomo demo neezo!," which literally means, "I'm not your younger brother, nor your child!"

I guess Eren wanted to say, "Don't treat me as a kid, who you are supposed to always look after."

That was the part in the manga that made me change my opinion of Armin completely. And the anime did justice to that very scene. In terms of overall plot this week's episode was a little slow, true, but it served as a stepping stone for next week's glory.

Armin deserves a salute! And that captain needs some sleep; look at his eyebags.

I like this ep regardless of the self-reflection scenes. While I recognize how necessary they are, I think SnK's reflection scenes drag on for too long that it eats a lot of the episode, which kinda makes it boring for me. Maybe it's too cheesy for a grim anime, or maybe there's too much internal dialogue, I dunno... there's just something that makes me feel unsatisfied.

And yeah, that captain needs some sleep, just saying.

Yeah, this episode was boring as fuck, Mikasa and them were there for 3 quarters of the episode discussing how to escape and other random and pointless crap that we already knew. And to make it worse, Erin's Titan form could've done SOMETHING, but no, Erin's Titan didn't do anything and all their planning turned out to be pointless. Erin's Titan practically just instantly died out out of nowhere a few moments after being shown for the first time this episode and Pixi's ended up saving them in the end. And I'll also add dan's pointers to my opinion as well coz it's true too.

Yeah because the characters are so well written and developed in this anime, ofc that's what people are tuning in for each week. I need to see more of eternal rage guy or damsel in distress turned mary sue or maybe just socially awkward guy being bullied but ofc he must manage to pull through with the power of friendship. Man this development is far too deep for me.

I'll play the butthurt fanboy role for this one, even if this guy is just being sarcastic.
( I LIKE TO RP!)

So essentially you have a fucking attention span of a rodent, since Eren didn't turn into a titan and pretty much go suicidal to get out, only to become an enemy of humans and titans. You also somehow forgot the second plan, which is the one they went with, where the first plan was a 'last resort'. Finally, you fail to see the whole fucking point of Armin's speech to save their asses by hopefully getting through to the army, to spare all of their lives. Which then, thanks to Pixi, who was the only level-headed guy there, saved them. May, I add the whole fucking point to what Armin's plan was to do.

Finally, you didn't even comprehend Dan's post, as he was sarcastically talking about how some people are going "hurr durr no action, bad episode"(Hint hint, YOU) when we had some juicy plot progression and character development on Armin's part.

This. Eren says "guize we should escape" while they are hiding in cloud of smoke post-cannon fire, but then he goes on a huge monologue about why they should escape, (we fucking know) analyzing the situation, arguing with his pseudo sister, complaining about daddy, making threats, raging, speculating about the enemy's actions, punching his own titan corpse, philosophizing about his situation, praising the fuck out of that blonde trap weirdo, and planning out what he will do after and where he will go. Oh, and we got some inner-Armin whining too. Fucking terrific. Like "bitch, the smoke's gonna clear; you can't do this shit later?" AND THEN THEY DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING TRY TO ESCAPE? What the fuck was the point of that? That ate up more than half the episode?

Plot's moving too slow imo. Plus the voice acting and animation was underwhelming, as usual. There was even a section where Eren was talking, but his lips weren't moving. Tha fuck?

I'm starting to think that Armin-haters are having difficulty dealing with obvious proof that he really is one of the main starring characters. Episode 10 is to Armin what episode 6 is to Mikasa.

Eren's the MC with rage-based super power. Mikasa's the MC with "must protect family" skill-based super power. Armin's the MC with intellect-based super power.

Well, at least this should put a wrench in "Eren is a Gary Stu" and even in the Mikasa is a Mary Stu" complaints I've come across since they need Armin as much as he needs them.

When a show so obviously loves to spread out the character development screentime, it gets more and more stupid to accuse anyone of being a Stu. Btw, Jean's getting a character development episode as well. Probably the 15th episode.

Just 3 more weeks and finally we'll get a complete arc, one complete first cour.

Btw, more talking in next episode, which should further shock the "SnK is brainless action show" crowd. I happen to think that Pixis' speech is the most dramatic.

Also, I heard that Commie finally gave up on Eoten. Will the fandom forgive them? ... Probably not. They took too long.
