In the manga I had the feeling that Erin, Mikasa, Armin and Annie were walking into a trap, before you realized that the trap was to capture Annie before she can transform. I like Annie, well mostly her skills. She is badass both in human and titan form, (secretly wishing that Erin was that good) but for all the poor people she killed I wish to see she her hanged, cut into pieces and burned. Love her as a villain. Or love to hate her. A good villain should make you hate them anyway. Aren't people more interested in the baddies rather than the good guys anyway? Definitely a malicious bitch. With a dab of sadness for good measure, as you'll understand later on. |

Well the author of the manga himself said.... that special feelings could also be feelings between a teacher and student. You don't have to associate feelings with romance all the time. Exactly the feeling was respect, just like the author stated. |

| This episode was really good. Annie's laugh was creepy as f*ck. But we got more character development for Annie, what I really liked. The reveal of the FT was really good, Armin you smart little f*ck. 5/5 |
 |
| They ruined Annie's smirk with that blushy face :p but i will take it as a fanservice.. Great episode.. 5/5 |

Means she's doing her job as villain. In style. Oh I agree. Villains are supposed to make me hate them. But in order to be a good villain, they also need a reason as to why they are doing what they're doing. Hopefully there's a reason for this and it's not something stupid. |

Even manga readers aren't too sure. But there definitely is more to her than being some doomsday villain. |

| I KNEW IT! I FUCKEN KNEW IT! Never read the manga, and downright I suspected it to be her! My speculation included: 1) She's not present in the Recon Squad mission (even though she is in the MP) 2) Somehow, the opening kinda emphasized her character. 3) Color and eyes are the same somehow. |

Armin did not figure out who she was using those as clues. You'll find out next episode as to how though. And I've said it somewhere in this thread, but frankly, you weren't the only person to suspect her. |

| Well, it was obviously Annie. Like I said months ago. The FT recognized Armin, had grey eyes and similar features to her normal self. But she killed many good soldiers, death row or dissection are obviously going to be the verdict. Something tells me she'll survive, scape and go rogue though. Or go back to her own faction, if there's any. |
| Yeah, it was pretty obvious who she was from the moment she stepped down to Armin and looked at him. I hate her, I hate her with passion. She deserves a painful and slow death. But as many previously stated that makes her a great villain. Rarely do I hate characters this much, but when I do it means they're written great (well, in my opinion at least). Great villain, but that only means it's gonna be even greater to see her fall down on her knees and diiiiiiiiiiiiiie. P.S. That Annie laugh face looks like something straight out of hentai :P |

That Annie laugh face looks like something straight out of hentai :P I do find it hard in many occasions to hate villains in animes or in games somehow. Sometimes they are much much cooler and have much better motives or intentions than the mcs. Annie's laugh! I guess that was what had been bothering me. The laugh is fine, but why the blushing?? Villains are so much cooler than MCs at times. A lot of people would think so. But there are definitely villains out there that force emotional responses out of people while remaining absolutely hated. Joffrey from Game of Thrones comes into mind from what I hear. I like villains that are actually awesome as well as evil though. |

Xinception said: HalfMetalJacket said: What are people talking about with smugglers stronger than Levi? Didn't see any of that this episode. Only the whole smuggling thing itself. It's just hints that I came to realised when I saw the episode. Say, what would those smugglers use the 3DMGs for? Spiderman-ing inside the walls? So far, we haven't see anyone doing that inside the walls except for the soldiers. So, logically, I'd hypothesize that they are connected to people outside the walls, as the 3DMGs is best efficient with tall forests. First episode hints that there could be a lot of Tall Forests outside the walls. Also, they don't receive training like a normal soldier does. Trial by error is usually the best method to learn something. Smugglers might have individuals that are more skilled than Top-Dog Levi. Levi actually came from the Smugglers, so we can assume that. That or he really was just some random thug. But it would make sense that he learnt as a smuggler. |

| 2 eps left man, can't believe it's already almost at 25. The Annie laughing part seemed a bit different to what I was expecting but it was still cool. |
| 9/10. I understood it better after watching Sawyer7mage's review on Yt, so I recommend it to you guys too. Personally I didn't like Annie's personality shift. It made more sense to me when she was calm and antisocial. Now the personality shift made it all look like the previous calmness was only an act. And to that cold Annie I'd like to say farewell, You were my favourite female in SnK. Also can someone tell me why did she take Marco's equipment? It's not like she needed to steal it, I thought? The more the episodes reveal, the more the intro is making sense. From the beginning I noticed that Eren will fight the FT in the town, it was in the Intro. And there's more there still. |

| Eh, that laugh kind of ruined it. I also wish Armin and co had some more and better proof that Annie was the Female Titan, the confrontation felt a little weird because of that. First half with the corrupt military police was overdramatic. Don't really see why Annie would be a ''great villain''. How the hell can you even say she's a good villain if we don't know any of her motives yet? Was expecting something better after last week's good episode. |
 |
| Annie's cold face... Annie's laughing???????? Creepy.. I've always known that Annie is Female Titan. |
| The laugh was horrible, it's not Annie.... but the episode is ok. |
| Lmao. Poor Jean, he looks so uncomfortable just sitting there in the carriage cosplaying as Eren. That Annie laugh was totally unexpected and it looked cute and creepy at the same time to me. And dayum, dat Mikasa. http://31.media.tumblr.com/8a8f4595e0678786cff8f5008447984b/tumblr_mt53w7mSt51s7wghuo1_500.gif |
| What’s this, did Annie just have a Higurashi moment? :D Very nice ep, definitely wasn’t expecting that first half of the episode. The second half was good too-- but those fucking cliffhangers, man. If we’re getting an Annie vs Eren ep next week, I wonder what they’ll do with the last one. I haven’t read the manga past the Trost arc, so I’m curious where they want to take this from here.

The more screentime Mikasa gets, the better. :D |
