Pft, they don't skip anything, and what I want to see is Top Ten in action because they shine and develop there.

Also, an excellent point made with the contradiction b/w training and assignments! Looking back, it sounds even more hilarious, given the trio commenting - Eren, Annie, and Reiner. Or should I say, Reiner, Eren, and Annie :p

I don't know if there was a specific artistic purpose of a crappy animated snapshot, depicting a group of celebrating people, but I'd hardly believe the animation of the next chapter (at least) would drop to slide shows and ppt files. (Not that I see how it would stop me from watching ^_^).

After this episode, I am certain that the Anime is superior. Before everyone gets pissed off at me, let me explain.

1) The art: everyone has to admit although right now, the manga's art is decent but the anime's animation is beautiful(at least mostly).

2)Pacing: The anime is very faithful and only changes parts that are not needed. It follows chronologically, so we understand the characters. I mean when I was reading the chapters, I hardly cared if Connie or Sasha were going to die, I mean who were they? Now I understand them and have bonded with them. And we have a better idea of the concepts of this world. For those that do not read the manga, episode 3 was after the big fight that episode 4 started. Also we never really got to understand the 3d gear before Eren started using it.

3)Changes: the added scenes actually fleshed out the plot very well. Also they are using the breaks to tell new information that the manga had to include, allowing more efficient storytelling

The end of the episode was stunning. I found it very interesting how as soon as Eren states that "mankind will regain it's dignity", the boss titan shows up to question the strength in Eren's words.

It was nice seeing some inspiration among the trainees as a result of Eren's little speech. However, there wasn't even time for the audience to breath. As soon as Eren's group assembles we see the repainting of the carnage five years ago.

The preview for the next episode hints of Armin being in danger. I don't think Armin will be killed just yet, nonetheless.

Also, the spiderman gears are awesome. I'd expect swords and so forth in SNK's setting, but highlighting the agility of humans, something that most of the giants don't have, accentuates the contrast between the two species. I expect no less from the future explanation of how the Titan's came to be, especially since Eren suggested that they know more about the Titans now.

Oh, another thing to mention is the OST, subtle but powerful.

Man, right after he said they were going to regain everything the leader comes out. I highly doubt Eren will even make a dent in the guy with those puny swords, North Korea has a better chance at taking the leader guy down.

The end, what a great way to wrap up an episode!
And that song playing during the character bios, pretty cool! Gotta go find that now.
And of course Sasha's flatulence (or lack thereof).

Haha good eye, I didn't notice that myself. There were some very nicely done scenes e.g Eren's furious eyes, but it seems like they cut some effort on the more mundane scenes.

The original manga BEGUN in this time period, and dealt with most of episode 3 with flashbacks. Definitely dumbasses.

I have to admit, in a sense, the Anime is better than the manga in the pacing, because I had no idea who was who in the first few chapters. hell, I couldn't even tell Jean and Reiner, and I couldn't even tell them apart in some of the later scenes(though i could have been the artwork)

So far, Shingeki has not let me down, the oh so precious SAO that my friend hyped me up about turned out to be a POS

here is something i don't understand and saw this on many sites
why ppl compare this anime with SAO?
2 different animes in plot
come on ppl
anything better you don't have to do than comparing animes which are different levels in everything?
sao might had been good for few
SnK might be good for others

i liked the animation i have nothing to complain
in the manga they training starts somewhere on ch 15/16 so i'm kinda glad they put it now

what skipping?
can't recall ...i think in the manga is the same
will be more flashbacks soon

I have been watching anime for years and lurking on MyAnimeList for just as long to find new animes and see peoples reactions to latest episodes, but this last episode of SnK FORCED me to make an account just to say that THIS WILL BE MY MOST FAVOURITE ANIME OF ALL TIME.
I haven't read the manga of this, and i'll hold out due to the sheer epicness that the anime brings.

My gut feeling is these characters won't die anytime soon:

Shingeki no Kyojin Popularity Poll results:
Levi - 32.95%
Eren - 18.7%
Mikasa - 18.6%
Sasha - 6.82%
Krista - 5.53%
Annie - 3.77%
Hanji - 3.17%
Reiner - 2.83%
Jean - 2.58%
Armin - 2.42%
Others - 2.62%

In the OP, the characters that appear in the final scene are (from left to right):


Reiner, Jean, Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Annie and Sasha. So I don't see them dying anytime soon.

The ones who are likely to die in the next episode are:

Right because im getting a hard on over an anime character. I simply liked their interactions on comedy terms. So go cry in a corner.

Poor Sasha. She gets the blame for their tussle inside the mess hall. She gets to "borrow" some meat from the officers later on, anyway. Annie demonstrates some serious hand-to-hand combat skills there. Especially those kicks...

Also nice to see Levi of the Scouting Legion make an appearance here. We're going to see more of him and the other Legion veterans much later.

The Battle of Trost begins. Five years later, the war resumes... and this time Eren and company are equipped to do something about it.

Tough Times, you know?

Yeah, i think so too. He must be lonely in that training camp, he and his half potato.
Plus his head is itself a potato, let's say he's drowning in potatoes.

Well, looks like next episode will be exciting.

I wish to learn more about other trainees too... Particularly Annie, seem like she have quite a scar behind her character.

Otherwise, nice cliffhanger.

EDIT: at first I thought the Titan appearing behind Eren is just a symbolism thing... But when they all turn around, I laughed... "There's your titan, go kill it hero!"

I wonder how many soldiers will piss themselves next episode.

EDIT: Hold on... Did that thing just came via a lightning bolt again? This seem like a deliberately planned attack now... I smell conspiracy.

Personally, I'm the former. And am somewhat glad after reading about all those "Dammit gatha wait 1 week, I'll die" comments. I remember waiting weeks after weeks for Cross Game, that was torturing.
