| Another waisted episode of Eren being indecisive about what he needs to do, while those around him get hurt, and many more die in order to give him the time to find his resolve. It is said that those who lead learn the lessons of war by either learning of the mistakes of those who came before them, or by paying for experience through the blood and lives of those around them. It looks like Eren is taking the second route. -sigh- |

If you keep pausing the show during the action scenes you can see a lack of details of the in-between frames in animation that appear in between microseconds. Total crap show! 1/10, dropped! derp! |

| Lolis > Everything |
| Mikasa was terrifying. Yet amazing. It's so frustrating how EVERY episode ends on a cliff hanger, and how slow paced it is :(. I definitely thought they would have captured Annie by this episode, I dread next episode because the cliff hanger is going to be mind consuming. |

millo said: Mmmm, sweet baby, could you please just stick with your manga and stay away from the anime if it'll only crush your mind and soul this deeply? I'm saying this for your own good, mwah mwah, love you, i hope your condition will get better after this anime end, GBU. ps : And please... please.... don't watch the finale episode, i don't want to see you suffer more... i... love...you.. Fear not for though I will post in the final ep discussion (along with every other active member on MAL), I shall then return under my rock. FYI: I emerged from it in the first place 'cause ep21 excited me. Sadly, right after that EVERY EPISODE has been heavily fillerised single chapters; previously only Jean getting filler time. I blame bad timing on my 9-to7outta10 bitching. This isn't manga fanboyism, btw. I barely even remember the specifics of the manga--I didn't know Eren insta-downed the female title in the manga ver of ep21, or that Mikasa wasn't shown slicing 'n dicing. At most I feel something is off in the anime when filler is involved. That's it. So, unless something I remember being good is fucked with (i.e. Annie's speech in ep23), I know not for certain. ...It's just, ep24 did so many things wrong that I didn't even need to check what was and wasn't filler. Let's take Eren punching Annie as an example since I haven't even mentioned that yet. We see the power of Zeus, see Eren charging, hear Eren charging... and yet the same female titan that dodged and blocked EVERY attack Eren previously threw at her just stood frozen, back-turned--only turning at all to get hit at the last second, after some 30+seconds. WHAT; WHY!?... because in the manga Eren burst out from underground with another surprise uppercut (according to scans posted). And that's ignoring the direction (still shots with epic music + most random still bored cat shot time-wasting ever) and terribad animation. Just look at this shit: http://postimg.org/image/ogvctsq6t/ ...do I need to e-draw a red circle around any part of Eren? The whole post-punch animation of Eren looked THAT BAD. That whole sequence was so awful that I didn't even take in that Eren had finally connected with Annie cleanly until reading the thread; I was dumbfounded. ..........on the plus side, at least we got more sexulised sluttery in the form of this titan shot (/joke): http://postimg.org/image/julhxriz1/ PS: Probably won't post again until the final ep--that'll be fun if it's an anime-only troll. I almost want that at this point just to see everyone get trolled as much as I have been by these last two eps. Would sure beat the 5/5ing x200+! |

| Amazing episode, at first I didn't even realise that they added original content, it was really well done. And the animation during the action scenes was just wow. Time for Eren to show how awesome he can be when he's not (too much) morally conflicted. |
| oh this episode was epic. I can't wait for eren to beat the shit out of annie. She killed so many people. Grrrrr. GO EREEN!! |

yuquall said: Still not able to shake off my disappointment from last week's, I found this episode rather boring especially at the beginning and the action scenes seemed meaningless. I'm sick of Mikasa. How more selfish she can be. I'm rooting for Annie!! But the last minute was great, can't wait to see their fight. Anyhow, the anime was good and I like how Armin and Jean working together to lure the FT as it's so rare to see Armin in action. Hanji's eyes.. those were so funny. Too bad Levi can't fight, I feel for him. Always love to hear Armin, Jean, Hanji and Levi's voices. I just noticed something else they missed! Mikasa's inner monologue! Goes along the lines of "It's my fault that the strongest soldier isn't able to fight, which is why I must make up for it" or something like that. Might have got you to quit harping about your disappointment, I think. Even then, Mikasa is just doing her job. |

AnimageNeby said: Lol, it's always funny to see how the purists and the non-purists always duck it out. It's like the Xbox vs PS wars: it's trivial, and it never ends. Those are the two main aspects of it. Personally, I thought the episode was pretty damn good. Sure, it didn't follow everything of the manga to the letter, but is that really necessary? When filler isn't crap and fits right in, just don't sweat it, I say. Sometimes it even improves on the original. On the other hand, I'm getting a bit tired of the endless defence of the anime also. While some things WERE better/more logically correct in the anime (the blood on Eren's mouth when he bit himself, the fact that Mikasa and Eren DId put their cape on in the anime, etc.), there are also some parts that didn't make sense. for instance: how come the FT didn't notice the appearance of Eren-titan? Everyone else noticed it. Heck, you couldn't miss it even if you wanted, with all that lightning and sound. Yet, the FT seems oblivious to it all, and just waits until she gets hit in the face - and looking at her surprise, it doesn't seem like it was intentional. And what was CERTAINLY an error was at the end. Look at the anime from 22:00 to 22:18. He HIT annie there. Meaning, he can't be further than armaslength. In fact, we see him standing at the verge of the open space, there, when annie falls into the building. the next scene, we see him running through the streets towards Annie, while she was laying down. What? Umm, no, he ws already with her, he didn't have to run through a street, he was already in the park. And it can't eb a flashback, because we see Annie lying there already. Definitely an oversight. No, don't bother defending or finding excuses: it's an oversight, pure and simple. One has to acknowledge things like that instead of blindly defending and searching or endless excuses, be it for the manga or the anime. Both aren't perfect, and aren't written in stone by God. Where there's an error, there's an error, point. I don't understand some people here, to whatever 'side' they're on, which keep on defending the undefendable. Sometimes, yes, faults and errors are made. This. While the episode wasn't all that bad, I had issues. Still enjoyed it though. We are the sane ones here. Our kind shouldn't get caught in this silly mess. Let's be friends! |

AnimageNeby said: I noticed that as well. I hope they fix things like this in the BD. They really only need to rearrange it to running-punch-close up instead of punch-close up-running. But as you said, the whole scene was strange. They should've animated Annie trying to dodge or maybe Eren dodging a punch thrown by Annie leading into the upper cut from the manga. Oh well.And what was CERTAINLY an error was at the end. Look at the anime from 22:00 to 22:18. He HIT annie there. Meaning, he can't be further than armaslength.

In a directorial sense the cliffhanger would be too abrupt. They better not. Ending the anime at ch.33 is by far the best thing they could possibly do now. |

| >>> Typed about the stupidity of the Eren-Annie punch only one or two posts before Animage >>> Everyone agrees with Animage >>> WHERE'S MY CREDIT, BITCH!? Last-last post 'ere: Seriously Animage, you're fence-sitting whilst bashing the episode; saying it's a great episode whilst lamenting its abject failure. There is only logic: it was either badly executed or wasn't. 'Tis fanboyism to praise the episode whilst detailing its failings to such an extent, rather than the other way around. Just sayin'... PS: Someone else, somewhere mentioned tthis already but I don't like how Eren has gone from a child that could instantly decide to brutally murder two men to Shinji Ikari. And the Shinji Ikari link is no exaggeration: remember towards the end of the Eva anime when Kaji needed to persuade Shinji to fight?... yeeaaaahh. How dragged out Eren's decision was in the anime worsened the Shinji effect with a multiplier. |
| Awesomeee episode ! EPIC ending ! Rematch time ! Go Eren FTW ! |

Why can't we look at things from two ways? I actually enjoyed it, but noticed flaws. It's not all black and white. Can't you comprehend the fact that people have different opinions? Such is your myopia I guess. Or maybe you're trying to start something? Your last post here? Meh. At least we don't have to cope with your whinging. If its any consolation, your posts helped me notice a flaw or two I didn't already detect. |

stAtic91 said: DarkCyclone said: I agree, some stuff looked off. I was mostly impressed by Mikasa flying around. She always gets the best 3DMG scenes.It's the animation when she's killing soldiers that gets me. It's very unclear what she's even doing to them. DarkCyclone said: Haha. I wonder how many times they practiced doing that...Every episode I can remember had a key epic moment. Something to remember the episode by. This didn't really have that. Maybe those two idiots playing trapeze with eachother and holding hands They always go all in on the maneuver gear scenes. It's everything else that's lacking. I wasn't really focused on the animation to be honest. I was just looking at how the episode progressed and knew exactly where it was ending in the space of 5 minutes. That's the reason I didn't enjoy as much as previous eps. It's nothing major, I just think they've done build up a LOT better than what they did here. Thing is, go back through the series, and you'll also notice there are a lot of animation errors. I forgot which episode it was, I think it was 13 or something but literally the entire episode was stills and shots of random stuff that didn't even fit what was going on, mistake after mistake. The animators have shown they can go in on the animation but it has never ever been consistent. I like SnK, but I don't let that blind me from stupid shit, and this episode was full of it. Even now reading this forum I'm noticing stuff people didn't notice, and finding out stuff I didn't notice other people did. Not the signs of a great episode. I think WIT have done so well with certain parts of this anime, to the point where they can take shortcuts without too much flack. It's nothing that'll stop me noticing though. |

Rather than 'I'm not going to hand Eren over to you' line, that monologue would have shown a better side of her. She is just doing her job which is protecting Eren and keeping Eren to herself. She sounds more and more like a possessive and overly jealous girlfriend. =P I miss the old Mikasa (before joining the training camp). That last scene was off, I must agree. That scene where FT just stood still facing the .. what was she looking at by the way, the gate? Manga's uppercut > Last scene in episode 24. I sure hope they adjust things for the BD, I don't feel this filler had Isayama's direction, but rather the studio's action savy. |

| Loved this episode, the filler stuff was amazing to watch, and it was epic, like every other episode. Also, I cant get tired of the OSTs, they´re awesome. Final episode next week, Ill miss this anime. |

Diranko said: HalfMetalJacket said: I disagree with this.Manga's uppercut > Last scene in episode 24. I thought the Manga was good at this part, but holy shit the Anime was magical. Uppercut made more sense IMO. Also liked Eren's one liner. Some chaps in this thread already explained the issues of it, so find a post by AnimeNeby or AironicallyHuman. He elabourates it better than I could. |

| Can't wait to see Eren destroy Annie now that he isn't holding back. |
| Dat ost. |
| Well, I got the 720 version, and the animation was nicely done indeed. Forget the plot for now, I gotta focus on the fight itself. Hmm, might as well post this for fun: |

| Mangafag here, I would've prefered the underground shoryuken. The filler material was sick though. |
| Loved the anime original part |
| I was pretty surprised that they added in some anime contents in there, it actually fits in pretty well. I'm glad to see that everyone got a bit of a screentime especially with jean, erwin and Hanji. The animation was glorious in this one! Wonder what they have in stall for us for the final episode. |

Well, last interaction was him trying to kill Mikasa |
