| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice, series is here! Moderator edit: Please do not try to bring SAO in this discussion. It doesn't need it, and it only creates very conflicting opinions. Thanks. Animation is pretty good so far and I liked the soundtrack. 1 minute in and already a huge ass giant lol. Pretty good OP song as well. I am definitely impressed as what I can see with the action in the opening scenes. Mm, some of the voices fits well I guess. Mikasa's design looks well though! Oh ya, there's some more cruel and sad scenes. As a fan of the manga, I'm impressed so far. So many damn giants. I feel sorry for Eren though and damn this giant is butt ugly imo:  Holy shit. |

| Great introductory episode. Production values will be the least of our worries. Especially the OST. Also, good focus on facial expressions and eyes. They convey emotions very well. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I approve of the adaptation, WIT did an amazing job, I like the little additions like the preaching guy, the blood on Eren's fingers and the camera work a manga can't do, the colossal titan's attack looked awesome. They should have kept the manga's beginning though, it would have been better for the narrative. Also, Mikasa is the best character, it sucks a little bit though that she lost her look in the manga but that's just my opinion. Oh, and I noticed censoring. |

| That was pretty excellent. |

| HOLLY CHRIST! Art - 10 Animaction - 10 (15 by this season's standards) Sound - 10 Music - 10 (Revo I love you!) Voice - frighteningly 10 Characters - 10 (means good personalities) Direction - 10 By God, this episode was perfect! Absurd! Gore, infamy, despair! That scene in the end when Mod Edit: No reaction images. |

Shaduge said: was it true to the manga? did they censor something? I hope it doesn't disappoint They didn't show how Kalura was eaten, minor disappointment but everything else was top-notch. |
| There was censorship, but it wasn't stupid "cover half the screen in black" a la TE. It was actually subtle and in a way I didn't mind it at all. |
|
| I like the pacing, they are following the manga word for word. Thank you Linked Horizon for that amazing OP. Sawano Hiroyuki did a excellent job on the OST this ep I hope he continues to impress me next episode. The art/and animation were top notch, that wall breach scene gave me chills. 5/5 |

Shaduge said: was it true to the manga? did they censor something? I hope it doesn't disappoint Censor? Absolute not! This anime is cruel dude, my heart was broken in this episode alone. |
|
| The pacing was also fantastic. It was on the slightly slow side which I'm thankful for since it meant they weren't rushing through the minor details in the beginning. The encounter with the titan at the end was amazingly done. |
|
| I think stark's screenshots creeped me out even more than the manga did |
Also, LQ OP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17blsph1B3Q Mod Edit: Merged posts. Please do not double post. Also, only one screenshot is allowed per post. Next time please do not merge 4 screenshots into one single image, this doesn't count as one screenshot. And please also add your thoughts, not only post pics. |

| That OP is fantastic. I can't stop watching it. |
 |
| This is gonna be such a fantastic anime! I'm probably gonna be watching that opening until the ep comes out subbed. This has gotta be licensed so I can buy the dvd! |

| could say that this Titan-chan Anime is beyond my expectation |
I don't know anything, I just know what I know |
| EPIC ANIME!!! |
| Wow that was really amazing. It's definitely lived up to the hype it received. |
| holy... Those Titans were kawaii *fangirl scream*. |
| this is the first time ever, that i've watched a RAW. I had huge exportations for this anime, and it surpassed it. Everything was flawless, i'm soo happy they are doing this story justice. Can't wait to see more of one of my favorite mangas come to life If they keep this up, this wont just be the best anime of 2013, but the best anime PERIOD |

| Flawless and absolutely epic. 10/10, period. |
| I can see beauty where others see ugliness. That either makes me an artist or a person of very poor taste (с) |
| Oh my my fucking Mikasa I LOVE HER SO MUCH... Great first episode... :) |
| english isn't my native language... ;) |

THaNK YOU GOD.... |
 |
| Let's hope this doesn't turn into another sword art online with the fanboys and all, since I really enjoyed the manga and this looks amazing. |
| Animation beyond expectations. Deserves better than a 10, I've never shivered for the first episode like this |
| This was a really awesome episode. I wasn't digging the PV much but some friends of mine really are really enjoying the manga and episode 1 didn't disappoint me. This looks like one of the better releases this season so far. |
 |
| Okay, that was fucking incredible. Time to spoil myself with the manga since I'm peeing my pants wanting to find out what happens next. （‐＾▽＾‐） |
| oh this is going to be awesome! the OP was absolutely fantastic. really liked it. the animation is pretty damn good and im liking the art style of the show. really cant wait for more 5/5 |
| I came. |
  |
| I think i'm going to drop this since i read the manga. I seriously hate Yuki Kaji voice. I just knew he would do that damn whining voice. Everything was perfect except for that annoying voice. I'm glad my favorite Japanese composer doing the OST. |

| I love the OP too much |
| Omg episode 1 was amazing! Confirmed for best spring anime of 2013! |
 |
| Everything was amazing except for the Opening. sure it looked cool but shitty music. |
| They do a nice job with the first episode. |
 |
| Protagonist is kind of one of those immature pricks, but the drama is top notch. Haven't been so disturbed in such a long time. I mean -- death of immediate relatives is common is anime, but being eaten alive in front of the protagonist is just, wow. Gonna keep following. |
| That was just... fantastic. That ending man... The tension, that music. Perfect first episode! A very nice adaptation they're doing. |
|
| Dayuum that was incredible Kuromii said: I came. |
