| i love this anime's music. Especially the part where the FT steps on the two guys at the end of the tunnel. Oh God, and Jean mentioning Marco. I don't even remember what happened in the manga but this was amazing! I'm pretty sure we will get a second season.. |

| My criticism is simply what I expected it to be. The episode dragged out exactly what we knew was gonna happen For a moment SnK turned into a really generic shonen. The struggle to overcome an internal obstacle that lasts for the entirety of the episode. The flashbacks didn't really give us insight into anything new. Armin didn't even have any legit evidence for Annie being the FT. The stuff he highlighted in 23 was literally all he had... At least that's it. No more hiding behind loose episodes, they have to conclude here. This anime makes me crazy because it's once a week and can move at the pace of a snail when it wants |
| Am I the only one thinking Eren is about to pull a sasuke uchiha after watching the last 5-7 mins of the episode and especially after than next episode preview? Also will the last episode be an extended episode or something because it wouldn't make much sense to air a 20 min episode in the theaters. |
sasukefan38 said: I've heard that it will be slightly extended but have never seen any source on this. They're not just showing the episode in theaters, but also having an event where the director, producers, manga editor and voice actors will hold a discussion.Also will the last episode be an extended episode or something because it wouldn't make much sense to air a 20 min episode in the theaters. |
|
| I've got no source either. It'd just make sense. I'm trying to picture airing something in cinema for 20 minutes... even film previews last longer than that in most cases And that last quote on the Preview. Looks like Eren's gonna go bad. That'd be a cool twist |
| EPIC OMG |
dimsumftw said: Jesus that budget. Pretty sum up the whole episode. |
 |
| Hanji and Mikasa rape face are the highlights of the episode XD |
| FUCK that was a good episode. Amazing animation and soundtrack, thank you Based Production I.G, Tetsurou Araki and Sawano Hiroyuki |
 |
| The soundtrack when the titan shifters transform are awesome! I don't even notice there's a filler until I come here because the episode is just great as ever. Since the final episode will air at the theater, I wonder if it will be extra long. |
 |
| This anime should be aired everyday. 1 episode left :( |
 |
| HOLY FAKKKKKKK, one more to go !! MANNN, it's going to be one epic cliffhanger. This shit keeps raising the bar with every episode MY GAWD. |
| Mikasa is so creepy. The ugly truth: http://i.imgur.com/WboiuA5.png |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| awesome episode..!! and it was sad to see only Eren and Levi in the old castle.. |
| "Sometimes I wish I was just a cloud, floating along..!" |
| Only one more episode left. Wonder how they're going to finish this series up also fingers crossed for a second season in the near near future. |

| I don't get it why people are complaining about the filler for the episode. You can always crop the video to your liking and enjoy your 5 minutes or so episode of SnK ungrateful bitches. |
| Holy crap, dying waiting for next episode. Eren biting his hand looked painful as hell and as expected annie got out of that trap. |
| Great episode. Eren vs Annie Round 2. Mikasa was badass as usual and I love the way they animated the people moving around in their maneuver gear. |

Minus a couple of episodes with QUALITY art, the animation has been consistently amazing where it counts. |

Some scene are very well animated but it came at the cost of some other badly animated scene that you probably did not notice much because you were reading the subs. |

Pretty sum up the whole episode. The irony here is that the guy quoted first, along with nearly everyone else in this thread, are more than likely PRAISING the budget/animation. It's making me question the eyesight of others when it troubled me on monitor; me, who's usually blind to such things. Some of the movement looked smooth, granted, but most motion was offset by either a lack of fluidity or being poorly drawn. It'd be an embarrassment on a theater screen so I hope money/care was put aside for the grand finale. As for the filler/part of my message Static quoted (Armin running by Annie's foot): it was braindead action. Braindead and out of character, to be more precise. You had the most useless soldier physically in Armin getting close to Annie, after she'd previously oneshot'd people with ease; cowardly Jean attacking Annie's neck after seeing how successful that was for Reiner; some dudes doing a WTF aerial hand-grab maneuver... everything filler required the deactivation of brain from eyes to be enjoyed. I mean, Annie's been shown to be an incredibly fast/agile man-killing machine that only Mikasa or Levi can deal with - the best of the best - and in this ep she was too slow/stupid to deal with anyone. There's also the small matter of 'Erendere' Mikasa not doing her 'fuck everyone else' thing the amount Eren got filler-penetrated. I really don't get it. Ep22 was mostly filler but that was also relatively well done. Ep23 had some bad but ignorable filler which was offset by Annie's reveal. Ep24 was outright ruined by filler layered throughout the episode. It's as if action without intelligence added is enough to please most people... |
| The last 5 minutes are epic. Amazing ep with great animation.. WOW. |

| lots of opinions here but..... HOLY CRAP THAT EPISODE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Dat action. Dat ost. This was waaayyyy more than i expected. At first Eren was pissing me off, but in the end it was worth it. XD Mikasa was also really creepy o.o but her epic fighting skills made up for it. Sucks that Levi was out of action though TToTT Seeing them alone in the castle was heartbreaking....... |
 |
| Yo Annie beware cause Eren is gonna fucking fuck the fucking shit out of you're fucking ASS !! damn !! that was one of a hell loaded Episode, animation and 3D maneuver gear scenes was so dazzling on a whole new level! just 1 episode to go and epicness has no limits, those damn Animators better have the 2nd season plan in their Drawer !!! |
| I don't remember the scene where Mikasa tells the hesitating Eren that the world is cruel to be in the manga. Its like a role reversal from the first time Eren saved Mikasa. |
| BEST EPISODE from Shingeki (what I thought) I love how they fought at the urban atmosphere with the other military police being like WTF and then Eren's rage at the end. SO Exciting. LAST EPISODE NEXT WEEK GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ;_; |

| It's the animation when she's killing soldiers that gets me. It's very unclear what she's even doing to them. You get a vague idea but more clarity would be nice. Dragging a guy having his body disappear then showing a smear of blood in his place isn't good animation I think this was one of the worst episodes since the dragging intiated by episode 16. Disappointing backstory added nothing to our current knowledge. Basically we were going nowhere fast till the end. Every episode I can remember had a key epic moment. Something to remember the episode by. This didn't really have that. Maybe those two idiots playing trapeze with eachother and holding hands, which was so incredibly lame btw |
| ^ You're my new MAL Shingeki forum bro, DarkWind. Better yet, you're NOT a dup account. Totally not. There's this one scene where Annie seems to turn a guy into a splatter of blood on the joint-middle of her arm. Like, she slammed him into her arm and he turned into water. (Cheers for adding a new complaint to my list!) marshalloo said: Yo Annie beware cause Eren is gonna fucking fuck the fucking shit out of you're fucking ASS !! http://s13.postimg.org/gyf0gxx7b/gg_Shingeki_no_Kyojin_24_D44_C4951_mkv_snap.jpg <-- There's a whole lotta arse there to, as you so elegantly put it, "fuck the fucking shit out". |

Just WOW). But this episode can't possibly be THAT bad. I dunno, I thought it was more epic and action-y than what I remember the manga being (and that's a good thing). For me, the most memorable part of this episode would be Eren's hand biting scene. The sound effects and the blood oozing out made it look realistically painful and memorable. I'll be sad when this is over next week :( |

It'd be an embarrassment on a theater screen so I hope money/care was put aside for the grand finale. Obviously this wouldn't make it to a theater. Comparing a movie's budget per minute to a TV series's is completely stupid to begin with. That's beyond the point as well. Shingeki no Kyojin's animation is pretty much way above the norm for a TV series. Every series have scenes they can be ashamed of but Shingeki chose to handle them into a direction and continued to be faithful toward that goal. Shingeki is an action show so they will spend more of their budget on the action scenes just like your typical ecchi show will spend their budget making their character's boobs bounce. Then it is a difference of opinion, I for one like better to see what I'm there for being animated properly even if it comes at the cost of some badly drawn scenes. Some people prefer to have an all around show that have the merit of not having any badly drawn scene but come at the cost of not having anything spectacular either.

I agree with you that if we look up at this episode from a logical point of view, a lot of thing do not make sense. Still that point do not exclude the original content as well that have a lot of problem on it's own. I for one isn't watching and reading SnK for the plot and I don't think that any person can count this emo-coated generic shounen as a work of quality for it's story. Filler made something that was already average into something even more average. We didn't lose much and we gained what most people are here for : more action.

Yes well, are you one of those purist that think that all show must be intellectual otherwise it has no rhetorical values? That's not wrong on it's own but it's not totally right either. It all come down to the reason why you are actually watching that show. SnK never pretended to be an intellectual show. It's something you read/watch for the actions and the thrill of knowing what will happen next and 'action without intelligence' couldn't fit it better, from start to end. |

| YEAAAAAAAAH GO EREN /off caps |
| 1/10 Dropped Is what someone who's out of their mind said someplace else. Awesome build up, I just hope the finale gets to the point though. Eren was pulling an FMA:B. That lightning with the intense music was my favorite part, although it's making me wonder now. |
 |
| Anime original content done f***ing brilliantly. Loved this episode and I'm interested to see how'll they'll finish off this season~ |
| Those 3DMG scenes were amazing, eren transforming was beyond epic! Amazing episode |
| absolutely blown away by this episode! |
DarkCyclone said: I agree, some stuff looked off. I was mostly impressed by Mikasa flying around. She always gets the best 3DMG scenes.It's the animation when she's killing soldiers that gets me.
