What I find funny is that during the like 5 minute recap at the start of this episode, they reanimated some of the scenes reasonably well.

And then during all the important action and shit, they went beyond cutting corners to save time. Things coloured wrong, scenes not matching the audio and skipping parts (how Jean got back to the wall). I can't remember the last time I saw a still of nothing but fire.

Not exciting at 100%, you could also avoid the summary first period because the next one is a recap. BGM of a good standard. Finally comes the famous Levi, shame they do not abound animation this episode, the ending seems to presage great things in the future, I hope so! * _ *

HOLY SHIT. THE SCORE IS NEARING 9. 8.98?! DAMN! This series will probably reach the 5th spot after the show ends.

I was speechless at the first half. OST is godlike as always.

Kyaa* RivailleLevi @@

Badass Levi finally shows up! Best character in the series.

Love how Marco's dead body is creepier than he is in the Manga.

Questions for fellow Manga readers:

Who is Annie apologizing to? And why?
Why did Erwin say that the Armored titan and the Collosal titan is probably like Eren? Does he know something?

Anyways, epic episode 5/5

P.S
Please stop with the fucking 3 minutes recap Production I.G.

Annie is apologizing to Mina (the girl in ep 5), seems like they didn't show it that well cause her heads are chopped off. As for the reasons, I'll leave it to you.

Mostly because of their behaviour I think, aside from Eren, the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan are the abnormals of the abnormals.

So many casualties, but I dont get why Annie was apologizing for? Did she do something bad i dont know, overall its was a great episode. 5/5

maybe she accidentally did something that caused Marco's death?

well, manga readers will know ^.^

I have read the manga.. and i don't know what you're talking about??!?! She didn't say sorry to anybody in the manga?
Read my post above^ And maybe in the skipping part from Jean escape, they will show some more hint to her character in BD version.

Maybe not many notice this because it was overshadowed by Eren Titan, but while Eren was heading towards the gate, Marco was shown for a bit, he seems shocked while seeing something *blink blink* ;)

This episode had some off-looking stuff, like the purple animation error and the moment with Annie, but it also had some really awesome-looking stuff. Rico's attack, Mikasa taking out that Titan, Jean's 3D gear scene, Levi's entrence, placing the rock. All looked really nice. I can see why most fans would be happy instead of getting stuck on filler scenes and scenes that ultimately aren't as important.

Wow. Great episode. More action scenes and emotional ones as well.
Love the scene where Levi comes in, it really emphasizes the power of the Recon Corps.

Despite Levi's eyes gleaming (?)... it was very well adapted from the manga:

For those *action* scenes, you get 10-15% less playtime, ventriloquism, dragged-ass-out episodes and every other bullcrap that would not be tolerated in other animes. Why are fans okay? Because of episode 1 and good action scenes they crave.

Oh yeah, This IS action shounen anime, APPARENTLY. We can overlook everything other than action.

I've seen a lot worse than anything in this series in terms of animation, and again, the company announced that they were having problems with animation since very early on. That's why I don't really care. They animated what matters very well, so I just don't give a crap about the more minor stuff.

Look at this. They were clearly having problems as far back as episode 5. What do you think would happen?

Less playtime and dragged-out plots are minor, that's LOL. And you know, I'm not just ranting about this very episode, but overall series.

I don't really care they gave us excuse or not. And I know BD will fix many issues, I know that. But what kind of mindset is that? Nope. That's capitalism-gone-too-far mindset.

Action in action anime is important, yes. But SnK is sacrificing too much for the sake of good action scenes. And pretty sure it will be getting worse. One week pause is not gonna help shit.

Dat OST. I like it.

So, a member of the top ten of the 104th Training Corps finally died. (Not including Eren)
R.I.P. Marco Bott. Without you, Jean would probably be dead too.

We end this episode with Eren finally joining the Recon Corps. Yay!

Finally, this episode was much more interesting than the previous 3. Too bad it had no animation in some scenes, animators can't keep up anymore. I hope recap episode will help them to get the quality of animation back.

They probably planned to make this show seem like it's low budget while it's airing.
While they fix it alter on and make the BD version look Godly so people feel like they have to buy the BD version because the quality is different in an enormous amount comparing to the aired version.

This is just a theory though

I've heard they just don't have enough animators, even though they pay more than average. That's why they can't finish the episode in time.

I would say badly-planned schedule. If I'm not wrong, SnK was announced in Dec last year? They could've finish animating all the eps first (I heard Gargantia was animated a year prior to the airing?) before airing them. It seems like a rush case here and with all I.G Port series this year (GiTS Arise, Gargantia etc) which consumes lots of budget and animators.

This is just a guess, but I think all eps were already half done before the airing, and unless I see the 2nd arc, I would say that they focus more on finishing 2nd arc since that arc has a lot more action than the first arc.

an awesome episode but destroyed by lobbyist trick

SnK production commitee deliberately destroys this episode with freeze frame, repeat scene, lower frame rate, etc to make a scene last longer and add 3 minutes of recap in the beginning of episode.

with next episode a recap, the comitee can make their move to push the investor to give more money.

"hey, we have not enough budget, see epi 13. We dissapointed our fans!!"
"fans praised our episode but keep complaining about the freeze frame".

if no money poured to us, we will make the next-next episode also a recap!
and the next-next-next episode filled with slideshow of someone talking!

EDIT:
btw why anime production studio so happy making boring recap episode?
With so much useless and boring scene that can be CUT, why they does not make interresting recap episode? O_o

huge quote


Well, I personally don't really need pretty animation for talking scenes. The only big problem I have with the adaption so far has been the pacing in episodes 10-12 (and lets be honest, most people are complaining about these episodes in particular). Other than that I'm fine with it. I can skip the recaps and judge the episode on it's own. I understand that they have issues with animation and while I don't particularly like it either, I can tolerate it more because the stuff that matters has been done well in my eyes and that they are under time pressure/lack animators. I've read the manga, so I know what to expect and that helps, too. I knew these chapters were slow and so I knew the pace of the anime was going to slow down. They clearly have planned to cover a certain amount of material and to add to that if they'd make this faster, they couldn't end it properly because the manga is straight up in the middle of a arc. I like this series, so I go into it to like it, not to complain about it or pick it apart. You clearly don't seem to like the series as much so you are more negative about it, so difference in opinion, I suppose.

Well that was a great episode, lots of action but still slow paced. I like how Produciton I.G./WiT Studio sticks exactly to the manga. Levi action near the end :DD Now for Petra and the rest (technically we already saw them but their official debut is later on so).

5/5 as usual.
