Bit of a screwup, Eren's titan body suddenly got its arms back out of nowhere when it's supposed to be evaporating. In the previous shot when it fell they were clearly gone.

lol what about her going into the steamy hot mess that is eren-titan-corpse and practically sitting there unfazed.

It is not a screwup. Be watching and you will find the answer.

Best part was when Mikasa saw Eren was alive. After that was the Eren beating the shit out of all the titans. Looks like they won't trust him after this I wonder what will happen.
And come on people the stills were not bad at all.

Man the only bad thing in this episode is that MOE titan got killed. :(


I laughed way too much... R.I.P

That scene when they were trying to get back the supply room was amazing! I also don't mind the stills if the action scenes (and the more important scenes) are going to be animated like this. Actually the still aren't that distracting at all imo. Eren is baaack! Was looking forward to this. Armin's finally showing his strategic skills, hopefully people won't be complaining about him from now on. Also, that reunion was too beautiful ;__; the way Mikasa leaned in to hear Eren's heartbeat, and then Armin holding Eren's hand...The plot is finally moving forward after the last few episodes of battles. So excited to see Levi next episode ><

The best character has made a reappearance.

Order of Best characters so far.

Eren > Annie > Sasha > Jean > Reiner > Connie Springer > Armin > Moe Titan(R.I.P. u will be missed) > Mikasa.


I beg to differ. Moe Titan in first place, followed by Sasha, Mikasa, Annie, Jean, Reiner, Connie and then Armin. Then again, I haven't yet found a character to hate on.

There better be a good explanation for Eren regenerating his limbs and stuff.

My theory is, he became a titan?

Who knows.

Next episode plz.

If you accepted the explanation for 'him being still alive' the 'why he became a titan' shouldn't be too hard to swallow.

Not sure we'll be seeing it this season, though.

I want to know how many non readers saw the twist at the end coming.


Since the first time that titan appeared I was sure it was related to Eren being eaten. This much should have been obvious for about anyone since there's no way the main character would have died so early on.

Honestly, I am sort of growing tired of this series. As a manga reader it's not because I know what's coming, more so it's because the translation from manga to TV is so exact it comes off as way more drawn out in the anime, so at points it feels very stretched.

Well we all had an idea or knew it was him. But I didn't expect him to come back alive in human form at the end. Thought they would've killed him off completely when his Titan body burned out. Nice to see him back, though. Kinda felt like a cop out but if the explanation behind it is mind-blowing then I'll let it slide lol.

If the adaptation isn't faithful it's either rushed or just anime original shit.

If the adaptation is faithful it's drawn out and slow.

At least this episode was better than the last one, the last one was boooooring. Yep, it was obvious that Erin was the abnormal Titan, he was pretty bad ass though gotta say. Though really curious as to why Erin out of all people managed to become a Titan AND lived when his Titan form died, seemed kinda ridiculous IMO; oh well. I honestly thought it'd be a cool plot twist if a main character died early, though then again, it can be quite terrible too.

There was a nice amount of action but I wished there was more, but you know, lolbudget, though also, I swear either I'm blind or I didn't notice ANY stills, I blame my Taco Bell, fucking asshole!!

As many people spoiled this back in episode 5, I was not surprised to see Eren (plus I also read the manga up to this chapter). Nevertheless that was an awesome reveal. Armin is an awesome tactician.

I wish they could of animated it differently so that we couldn't tell Eren got his limbs back until Armin mentioned it, but oh well.

The Supply room part was epic, the Titan was so close. Normally that should of went a lot differently, but since this is fiction I'll let it slide.

That was probably the best episode so far, with the last one on the second place. I think I'm starting to like this show, because I'm actually interested in what happens next. First episodes were like "oh, okay, seems decent, may watch, but it's kinda depressing". And now that there's hope on the horizon.

FUCKING EREN! He was that titan with the fabulous hair. It was a lot more obvious when he noticed the titan that killed Thomas and immediately went after it despite having lost both his arms. That scene was fucking awesome as well. The OST is so perfect, gets me hype every single time. Eren coming back alive was very emotional. I found it interesting how Eren came out from the titan's nape which is where the titan's weak spot is. Eren even got his limbs back which must be from fusing with the titan and in turn he shared the titan's regeneration ability.

Oh shit, the Garrison designated Eren as the enemy of mankind? Well... god damn! Now I have to wait another week again... D: Seriously can't wait for the next episode though. This anime is fucking awesome.

Plot armor, blah blah. I already spoiler'd myself a few weeks ago so I knew it would happen, but meh it is quite disappointing to see them going for ass pull material so early on.


Did you forget this is a shounen? There is literally nothing that can happen that will surprise me. All I hope for is good action, and animation that is it.

More Falcon Punch for the Titans. So the Titans have more size even a baby one. I thought there were only a titan and a bigass titan.

Armin find the position he should be playing as. The brainy one is always no good at doing the actual thing.

Eren being the Titan was quite obvious to me, his arm and leg regenerated thanks to the Titan regeneration ability.

Now he is deemed enemy of mankind, things just keep getting interesting.

F**KIN BADASS! I love this episode. Armin's strategic plans also worked well with little error. Also, Sasha was really hilarious in this episode. I love how she desperately apologized to the Titan. Also, i can't believe i would saw that Titan's face again. De-MOEd much? LMAO!

And finally, after 3 episodes and descending into the hell of spoilers, HE ROSE AGAIN!
Anyway, his location at the back of his Titan's Achilles heel kinda looks like a cockpit.
So it means, assuming that if someone will strike a blade unto that part, will it instantly kill him also as well as his Titan form?

Episode 8 - Second half of Chapter 8 and whole of Chapter 9

Some of the fighting scenes are anime-only. The anime also develops Marco and his relationship with Jean a bit more than the manga does.

Also, I'll have to take back about my assumption that Jean's scenes in chapter 8 will be changed much. In the manga, his order to rush headquarters happened very quickly whereas the anime gives him more time to think before giving that order.

Grade: Extremely Faithful Adaptation with additional expansive scenes (not fillers).

Wow, I never really noticed in the manga, but that foreshadowing in this episode. Wasn't very obvious, and you would only get it after the event happens and you go back and watch this again, but it surprised me.

Anyway, the only still that really bothered me at all was the second weakness scene. Man up people.

Awesome episode anyway, really faithful. That heartbeat scene with da feels.
