Everyone's a pussy except for mikasa and the scouting legion.

New OP is nothing short of awful, can't understand why it is getting so much hype. The original was far greater considering it actually fit the tone of the show now I will be skipping it every time - the graphics are beautiful I am being critical of the musical score. Recently this show has been terribly sluggish and 13.5 was completely unnecessary - a bit of a slap in the face especially after a whole episode of Eren stuck inside a Titan. Personally I feel people are putting Shingeki no Kyojin on far too high of a pedestal and "forcing" it to be this amazing anime they clearly hoped for. From what I have heard the manga is far superior anyway but I will continue watching... have a strong feeling this may find itself on my "Dropped" list soon though. These are merely my own opinions, so please don't get up-in-arms because you enjoy it. 5/10 at best for this episode. (or maybe I'm just tired and being cynical >.>)

I think the anime adaptation is just as good, if not better, than the manga. At least so far. But then again, I didn't fully get into the manga until the arc that just started in the anime.

Pacing is much better than the last several episode. They did not drag things much and managed to show all the important scenes including those dialogues from the bishop and the merchant, and still give the beating enough time to sink everyone's heart (not least Mikasa's).
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Its not that I don't see the purpose in Levi bloodying the face of a boy who has his hands cuffed behind his back, but I hope Eren gets to return the favor in some form or fashion further down the road....if Mikasa doesn't return the favor first, that is lol.

OP and Ed
-Amazing visuals and very unique compared to other anime OPs and EDs
-I like both the ending and opening as much as I did the last but this one definitely hypes me up a lot more than the last.
-Lots of foreshadowing.

Episode
-FUCKING EPIC, this is probably the one of my favorites if not, the best episode so far.
-Very intense and kept me at the edge of my seat, no doubt.


Mikasa
- She was being Mikasa, it was so cute when Eren defended her. That part of the episode was really EPIC, especially when Eren said "CHIGAU!" I love it when anime characters say "CHIGAU!" so passionately, it's also a fun word to say when you hear a stupid person say or do something ridiculous and your all "CHIGAU!" It's very attractive in a way, alright enough of my fetishes.

Zoe
-She is a funny character, I like her more than potato girl. The voice acting is really good for her as well, usually female characters like her have such an annoying voice and ruin the anime but her voice is quite unique.

Dialogue
- The dialogue really shines in this episode, it does in every episode but it sometimes gets repetitive however in this episode, I was totally engaged in the dialogue. It's really something.

Animation
- Always so FUCKING AMAZING but this episode, even better, even if there was no action.

OST
-LOVED IT!! That is all.

Levi
- I had to dedicate a topic to him, he's just such a sexy badass, so glad he's in the show.
-What makes him even better is the voice actor, he voices Izaya, Otanshi, Natsume, Araragi and Yanase.
- He totally kicks ass in this episode not only literally but figuratively as well.
- Eren went all uke when Levi sat next to him,lol. I replayed that scene so many times ^_^


Overall
- I had to make a freaking review of this episode it was just awesome. If I had to rate the episode, I'd give it a 10/10, exaggerating? I probably hyped this episode up too much but that's hoe good I thought it was. I look forward to the next episode.

Very cool trial episode. I love the fact that Eren can hardly be scarred since everything grows back instantly. That said, Levi is still freaking merciless. That death stare by Mikasa too, wow.

So the Survey Corps really is the home to some weird eccentrics isn't it? We've already got a sadist and a dog. Next episode will be interesting.

Seriously? They managed to save his life by letting Levi beat him up. I'd say that's a pretty big reason to let it go and to be grateful instead.

I like the new opening for the german lines (I'm german) although "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger" (the first op) was better :D

At first I thought: "I hate Levi", but then it came out it was to save Eren's life :D
Eren is my favorite character.

A very enticing episode despite the lack of giant fighting. It's was interesting seeing more aspects of the human world and the power games between humans. Although a sense of desperation on how moronic humans can be even at such situations with their back on the wall.

Btw we got a confirmation that humanity didn't actually built the walls. So we got a mystery of who did. I guess the same that makes the giants probably.
If humans have built the walls there wouldn't be any wall religion. Obviously this wall believers see the walls as something godly because it wasn't something they build.

The new OP is utter shit, the german part is just shit...
Fairly good Episode. Still way too much stills and recaps for a Episode were almost nothing happened.
I'll hope the next Episodes get better on this Aspect with the FT Arc... but that is probably just wishful thinking.

I am a bit amazed that some people don't like the new OP.

The only other series I am following is HxH and we have to endure the same opening song for the past 88 episodes. The visuals/animation are just passable too. T____T

But we endure.

I don't see your point here. You endured an opening for 88 episodes so people who don't like the new OP here shouldn't complain unless they did the same? I don't think it should work that way at all. Anyway, they won't drop the series just for that.

I personnally liked the new OP. Episode was good overall, the pacing didn't feel as slow as before. That Zoë is awesome, like her voice.

This episode was really boring. I see the trial may be important and all, but it doesn't make it any more exciting, and it took a whole episode.
Like many have said, I don't like the new OP as much, but it's not bad. I also like the previous ED more than this one.

Hopefully next episode we might see some action again, those scenes are the ones that really impress me.

You might want to consider seeing how they stretch out the talking and adding anime-only content in the past episodes which everyone were talking about to fit the end of the season. I doubt they can stretch out the upcoming action which may consume 2-3 chapters per episode instead of normal 1.5 chapter unless they decided to add more anime original action. And I say at least just for a safe bet incase something else happens :P

EDIT: well, maybe my guess is still too much. So, at least around episode 18.

Ehh, still prefer the first OP. But I definitely like this ED compared to the first one.

Lawl, the persecution was so bad. They had the flimsiest of reasons and haphazard "theories." Good god, they were stupid.

Looks like next episode is another character development episode.

Uh-op, is that from official website or something cause I'm not too good with japanese aside from my anime-knowledge xP Guess they wouldn't go with chronological order this time for the flashbacks during those chase and just stick with the manga. Let's hope it's true and the flashbacks later doesn't destroy the pace and induce fan's rage like last time.

-I still prefer the 1st OP, btw the opening of this OP song sounds like our graduation song.. lmao seriously But its cool. huh
-OMGG Hanjiiii....titaan maniaaaac <3
-I really want to cry that time levy's beating him into a pulp i just--
want to stop it and close it and eat an ice cream instead and act like i never watched a thing but we all know that he's just doing it just for eren's sake (jk he's really a sadist.. pfffft huehuehue )
-" the pain is the best tool for disicipline" kinda guessing that maybe he had experienced such a thingg in the past :(((
-i always call him "le-vi" before but now its actually "le-vay" pfffft
- i like the ED song hihi
- overall it came out to be a another BADASS EPISODE again and ofc WITH LEVY'S BADASSNESS.BD

This one was a little better than the last few monstrosities. At least things occurred without having too much exposition being repeated ad nauseum. I still don't get the "kick the shit out of Eren so that we can trust him" thing... but I guess that's just because I'm not 16 anymore.

Overall I'd say the show took a giant step forward (no pun intended) by actually using tension and pacing to create an effect. The show had become waaaaay too sterile in the last five or six episodes.

I am so glad they didn't have Armin give a rousing speech at full volume...
