That 10-second ending sequence was just amazing.

This episode took on a pretty big shift in tone from the previous two episodes, but it was still fairly enjoyable. And potato girl... ahaha, she was awesome.

Hold on are you telling me that there is a decent anime community out there, and I have been wasting my time here? Holy crap.

EDIT: so I'm guessing you guys were only trolling, because the only website called storefront I found is a white supremacist website. You should be a shamed. You made me get my hopes up * incest sad face(because I have no idea how to make one)*

Stormfront is the best anime community because there's nobody actually talking about anime on it.

Scrolling on stationary panels now eh? I hope I'm wrong but maybe they are spending too much on the art. The character contours are too emphasized IMO; I think they have to tone down a bit on the detail.

I think it's ok, since they use the countours mainly on close-ups. Close cuts are supposed to pack a little more punch.

I guess next episode will be like the first one, with action appearing till the end. I just want the action to start already. Recon corps still sounds very weak and uninteresting. So yeah someone messed with eren's belt?

That amount of detail costs a lot of money though. I've noticed that they used a lot of still frames in this episode, probably to save money.

It varies according to how they are doing those contours, maybe they found a way to do it without hurting the budget that much, I just want to have faith in the director's wit XD

Also this thing is supossed to be the hit of this season, so maybe they just have the extra cash. I mean, they even translated the credits in the OP (I don't recall another simulcast show that did the same), they failed with the "Attack on Titan" thing though, I don't like that translation of the name at all.

Blame the manga. It should be "Charging Titans" or "Advancing Titans". I prefer the former just because the Titans wreck them walls, but the latter works as well, since they are advancing towards the inner walls.

This episode was really well done. Eren's uselessness had a reason after all, thankfully. I liked how they didn't reveal the reason until the episode's end though, it took me by surprise, and it was a nice surprise indeed.

Unfortunately, trolls who intentionally post spoilers can only be stopped if most people already read the manga.

I rec we do what 4chan anons do - if someone seems new or just an anime-watcher, strongly rec them to read the manga ASAP.

The series is reaching critical mass popularity or already reached it. The best we can do for people who don't want spoilers is to have them read the manga before they get spoiled.

how is there a problem with pacing in this episode? It covered alot of manga pages, and introduced alot of new characters in 1 episode.

IMO the pacing is just right, i can get too rushed as well

mikasa is so freaking pretty, wow.

but sasha is really weird. the writers should be careful with her. her acting was so weird and out of place that i don't think it fits the show. it felt a bit too forced.
it's okay to add some jokes, but this show can also live without them. it doesn't even have to be action all the time. the first two episodes were so impressive and i still feel the mood when i watch a episode where not a lot happens.

the ending scene looked beautiful. i was already excited about it since i saw this technique in the opening. how do you even call it? well, i mean the way they're jumping through the trees with those ropes. i really want to see it in action as soon as possible!

Hmm, it felt a bit slow for me though, at least this episode and last episode could be merged to 1 and half. But I do understand this is a two cours show and they have limited material to adapt, not going to complain much here.
