Attack on Titan
| The selling point for me is cool animated action scenes, and if this show keeps adding more of that then I'll always prefer the anime over the manga. |
 |
| Anime thanks to the nice added filler action scenes and the amazing OST to go with it, especially the part when Eren transforms |
| Anime episode added more, for good and bad. Namely, fun extra action sequences added in, while more important scenes were altered in a... not that pleasing way for me. I liked Eren's uppercut of justice from the manga much more than the punch in the anime. It's more legit and awesome IMO. Don't have to tell you this, but shouldn't Annie have used her supreme head movement to dodge the blow? I pray Studio Wit adjusts this scene for the BD. |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
| Ugh. The problem that happens when an anime changes scenes from its source material is that it generally isn't as effective in its execution or it just gives off a different atmosphere that detracts from why the certain scene was made that way in the source material itself. In exchange for Eren looking like a pussy, this episode got a lot of characters more involved with the situation and changes the dynamics of the episode and shows the effort of the Recon Corps in fighting Titans. This kind of development to side characters and an organisation is way greater and will never be outweighed by Eren's apparently 'worse' developement. It shows how it's not just the main characters that do all the work and gives worth to many other characters instead. As for the other changes, I don't really care about them. "The world is a cruel place." "It sure is." So just because that exchange wasn't as early, this episode is worse than the manga? Haha. And with that uppercut in the manga - that was extremely cool and felt very strong, but did the change in the anime make it worse as well? Not at all, because the anime felt the same. I mean, it's not like it changed anything in the plotline, the development or anything else, so the change was largely irrelevant and just because some people hated it, it doesn't mean it's bad at all. |

Why would they? It's not like the scene has major errors that's need for a touch up, compared to *cough*Episode 13*cough* Actually, pause the scene yourself. Even if they don't feel they need alter the scene to be more consistent, at least clean those pictures up. Obviously they will though, seeing as its the type of thing that gets fixed for BD releases. |

varingian said: First off, as I understand it Isayama is heavily involved if not at the helm of the anime development so I do agree that the anime is canon, Word of God. That said I think Eren is rather out of character in the anime. I can tolerate a slight hesitation before fighting Annie but that's about it. Time and again it was shown that Eren is the character with most determination and motivation to kill Titan. Annie is also slightly OOC. The smart and decisive Annie would have fled the scene immediately instead of messing around with the Scout Legion for half an hour. Not being able to counter a telegraphed punch from Titan Eren is just ludicrous. I don't everyone saying Eren became pussy. You all have to understand that a close person to him, a mentor if you will has turned out to be a traitor. Oh and he was under a heap of rubble, semi conscious. This can be remedied with a flashback of their time together. As for Annie somehow not dodging Eren's punch, that needs some fixing up. |

| I like the manga better with Eren's "the world is cruel" moment before he transformed. |

Goremonger said: The manga has better music Wait what?!?! |
| No doubt, it is the anime coz of the animation + the music :3 Though, i was surprised that they changed the scene when eren said the world sure is cruel and transformed :U But i understand why the anime did it this way, it goes and show that not everything has to be relied on the protagonist and how everyone is making an effort to change. |

| Manga was better, Eren was a lot cooler and not Shinji. But the transformation was beautiful. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
Narukami07 said: ^ HalfMetalJacket said: Eh, the manga had much better animation. Anime is good though, I'll give it that... Not really, no. The manga is only in page format, wile the Anime has animation which didn't fail to disappoint in the action scenes. therefor the Anime is objectively superior than the Manga in that regard. I think we are all entitled to our own opinions. And my opinion is that the manga is objectively better animated than the anime, regardless of format. |

HalfMetalJacket said: Eh, the manga had much better animation. Anime is good though, I'll give it that... Well, I agree with you. The manga had a very good animation style, if you would. See, while the extra scenes in this episode were interesting enough, some of the changes didn't pass too well with me. Eren getting stomped, him being so angry, Annie getting socked... Manga CAN have better animation, and it does imo although the anime did have some awesome moments, I have always preferred the manga for this series from the beginning. |

| Loved the anime that's for sure!! For me manga I read to fast I like seeing it in action!!! |
 |
| Manga was way better. In the anime Eren wasn't reliable, and that's not acceptable in a war. It goes against what he did to save Mikasa back when they were 9(?) years old. You either kill or get killed, there's no time to hesitate. |
| I liked the manga format much better. It portrays Eren as much more stronger and willing to do what is needed to win. It also draws a better parallel with Episode 6 where Eren convinces Mikasa to fight while, here it is Mikasa doing the same for Eren, each urging the other in turn to throw away their humanity/doubts in order to survive. It just cements their relationship much better and provides more emotional depth compared to the anime. The anime in contrasts focus's much more on Armin's role in convincing Eren which, while good, does not strike as being as deep. The anime also drags it out longer and shows Eren as having more doubts and letting his comrades down (for a while, re Jean)and weaker which seems OOC. Mikasa should have been able to motivate him and the uppercut was much better in the manga. In fact, it speaks to me to the rage that Eren felt, that he was able to breach the tunnel by transforming, while the point of leading Annie into the tunnel was to prevent that (though they mention leading her to lower levels). An issue with the anime as well was how Eren was too near the surface imo, as he should be buried under rubble much deeper since he started on the floor of the tunnel and not near the top. House> Ground > Tunnel roof > tunnel itself > Eren > floor of tunnel. It felt like the anime sacrificed keeping characters in role and storytelling/emotional depth just to get in the extra actions scenes and side character action. While I get a shouen anime should focus on action, I dislike it when they sacrifice plot for actions. I chose Snk based on a heavy emphasis on plot rather than just action. I also preferred the animation and voice acting in the manga, must be my imagination at work XD. Much cooler and epic :) |

Narukami07 said: ^I didn't think it was that "retarded" at all. I feel as if i'm in the minority on this board that actually liked this episode more than the Manga, despite the poll votes from the majority proving other wise. I voted 4/5 for the poll though I did not like the episode as much the manga. I like the manga more. I would have given a 7/10 for the anime and 10/10 for the manga. So it is possible to like the manga more than the anime even though one may give a good score for the anime :) I don't see how it was like that at all, honestly. The episode made it blatantly obvious with how she attacked the troops, Mikasa, Eren & Armin (well mostly in the tunnel), etc. She never gave me an impression of a school girl getting beaten down, so i'll have to disagree with you heavily here, i thought that it improved from the source material instead of sacrificing it like others here seem to believe. But ok i guess..... I thought the episode served this purpose quit well after Episode 23, and what's what's in store for Episode 25 it could probably connect with it. But overall, FT still seemed pretty threatening to me here. Then again, opinions are opinions. I would say that she didn't act like being bullied but more like a soldier who has no idea what is going on. She didn't plan the encounter entirely and was caught a bit off guard by the traps and all. I got the impression that she was just reacting to her environment and what the legion was doing rather than in the forest where it was mainly the scouting legion reacting to her. Basically she lost the initiative. My opinion was that the manga had better character/erenxmikasa development and plot growth while the anime stressed action and side characters. I would have preferred a stricter adherence to the manga and more focus on erenxmikasa rather than erenxarmin as I think erenxmikasa is more important and lovely :) I have expressed my opinions more fully here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=667019&show=20#msg25300657 Again it is all opinion ofc. I would prefer the manga being canon over the anime though :) |
| I, personally, much preferred the anime version, as good as the manga was. On one hand, I felt Jean was completely forgotten at that point in the manga but seeing him in action, hearing out who the female titan was and being well aware of the plan and taking part in the fight made more sense to me and added a nice extra element. Nile's reaction to Erwin's plan also made a lot more sense to me. There's also Mikasa fighting against Annie which is a great display of her skills and strength, which shows you that her holding on her own against Annie back in the forest wasn't a fluke or only because Annie was tired, even with Annie at 100% she's still one of the few capable of standing up to the biggest threat to humanity yet and not die. Also, Annie getting captured again. I like it simply because of the fact it shows you how crazy prepared Erwin was. It honestly makes more sense to me, I think he could have probably figured after seeing Eren's reaction that he might be conflicted and with the information he needs a clear goal in mind, he'd know every possibility counts. And finally, Eren's angst and how he got over it. I felt it was way too easy in the manga how it went, plus I don't think it would have translated into the anime as well. Let's see it this way: Has there been any other time where Eren has forced himself to remember horrible things to bring his anger into play? Most of the time it's been involuntary, but this time he's facing his friend and well, basically mentor, and the only way to fight her is by changing his objective: Rather than "Fight Annie", he's thinking now just "Fight". My only problem is how the punch was handled, but that feels like a minor issue. I feel that it would have made more sense if the sequences had been moved around (Eren transforms, everyone's chasing after Annie and Mikasa gets knocked down, we see Eren running, Annie stops right after it, turns around and PUNCH), but hey, it sets up for a fantastic finale either way, it just doesn't work as well as it could. |

| To be more serious, keep the filler parts of the episode by all means! They were fun additions. It's the one altered scene that we manga readers are having issues with. Such a memorable scene in the manga made into something less... legit. You know what I'm talking about. The thing most of us seem to have gripes with. |

UPPPACUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^that A better anime adaption would have placed the scenes of destruction from the past as flashback right when Mikasa told Eren "the world is cruel place". Then massive uppercut. Then the fight between Eren and Annie and Annie then turns to escape over the wall but Erwin predicted that and set a trap enroute, using Armin to sort of guide Annie in or just using two squads to guide Annie into the trap. She escapes and tries to |
