| Mikasa and Annie are so fukken awesome words can't describe. |
| So he's alive ._. Okay... Great episode. Can't get enough of the OST. And the new char appears next week... |
| That shit got real!!! One of the few adaptations i actually like better than the manga |
 |
| Honestly, I didn't like how Potato girl survived. It seems like she was only protected by "comic relief armor". I wish she'd had her head chomped off. But overall, I did like this episode. It was a nice victory for once. Pretty much everything went right for them. Also, after seeing Eren inside the Titan, I've been wondering. He was in the Titan's NAPE. This leads me to believe maybe *all* the titans are basically big robots with a little person inside the nape. I'm liking the preview for the next episode, too. Seems like Eren's going to have to go on the run. I wonder if he can show them his awesome Titan powers again some time soon. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Crazy Episode! Have to wait another week now... |
| I really could give less of a fuck for this show's animation quality as the whole mystery encompassing the Titans is too interesting for me to notice. Even though there are a lot of stills, I can tolerate the art quality of this show. The thick-lined art style is enough to satisfy me, plus the animation sequences during the Titan battles and leaps through the city seem great to me. However, I can understand that readers of the SnK manga are here mostly for the visuals of this anime, so all I can say is that's too bad. Guess manga fans will have to wait for more animators, or wait until major fight scenes later in the series. |

That felt very odd to me. |

| really damn hard to give this episode anything but a 5/5 rating. cant wait for ep 9..great show. |
| Agree that the stills aren't really that big of a deal since they animate the action scenes really well to make up for it. This episode was fucking awesome though. I haven't read the manga, but I saw the "plot twist" everyone seemed to be talking about from a mile away. My first thought when Mikasa got cornered by the Titans last episode was "Eren's gonna come in and save her watch!"...then the Titan showed up. So I thought "what if this titan was actually Eren". And fucking YES!!!! Hopefully they explain wtf happened, but for now, I'm just happy that Eren's back. I think I'm in the minority that actually likes him haha. Can't wait for this next episode. Looks like the city has a bunch of haters haha. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| Finally, Armin has proved his worth as a wonderful adviser and formulator of plans. Jean, in my opinion, isn't that great of a leader, but he does have a nice set of instincts. Seems like Reiner keeps trying to get on Annie's good side. Props to Mikasa and Annie for saving Sasha and Connie there during yet another awesome plan of Armin's =) And poor Sasha, but at least we know now that she's just as scared as everyone. I think that makes her more of a real person than just 'comic-relief'. Also, the scene where Mikasa realized it's Eren and cries- that was done beautifully and very realistically. I truly love the art and how the characters are depicted do honestly. And Eren....well that befuddled me. How did he grow his limbs back inside a Titan? Did he take over the body of the Titan that he was eaten by? How did he change the appearance of it? Looks like we'll find out next episode (and it'll also be confirmed he's a psychopath judging but that smile in the preview) plus we'll be seeing that Levi guy everyone says is so awesome. |

| well... yeah lol i wonder how they're suppose to explain this. |
    |
THAT SLOW MO PUNCH THOUGH that was the best part of the entire episode. finally glad eren appears again though. |
This said: THAT SLOW MO PUNCH THOUGH that was the best part of the entire episode. finally glad eren appears again though. My favorite part was in the preview xD |
  |
| Another glorious episode Damn that was one of hell fantastic falcon punch!! And that scene where Eren coming out of the titan neck nape was the most convoluted part of the plot so far, and that scene where Mikasa checking Eren heartbeat was just too much for me T_T furthermore Reiner saying that ramming your blade up their asshole’s is also an option was really hilarious XD,and Annie was just too fabulous this episode and too much credit for Mikasa for slaying that ridiculous Moe titan he was really devastating the frightening picture of the titans for me. Anyhow from that preview it seems things are gonna get even more twisted and finally Levi is appearing !! |
| Maybe they'll redraw the stills for the BD. If it's not caused by lack of budget then it might be because of time constraints. Anyhow choosing to concentrate on making the key parts glorious is better than compromising to animate all parts imo. |

| I wonder what woulda happened if he regenerated in his titan body..this episode was crazzzzy. I wanna see Erens reaction to all this and if he even realized what he did. |
| He's alive. Everything is perfection. |

Radius said: I loved how Jean cut that Titan's finger to get out of its grip. That was awesome. I really thought he was going to go self-sacrificial-lamb on himself and chop off his leg but I'm glad he's not like that. He's more of a better-keep-myself-alive-first guy and it's not as selfish as it seemed a few episode prior. |
| Come cry on my shoulder, Mikasachan. <3 |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Wow! Show is more epic every episode. |
 |
| Yeah, badass Eren. Should have known that he wouldn't be killed off so early in the anime! |

| Still watching, but there are far too many still-lifes in this episode |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| it's eren for next ep is that levi??? |
     |
| Mikasa crying made me want to cry... ;_; thought it may have been better if they ended it with Mikasa doing an epic cry for the return of Eren. Episode was awesome. I didn't really even notice the stills until it was mentioned. Reiner and his talk of shoving the swords up the titans asshole was funny. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| looks like we're finally going to meet this Levi dude and find out why everyone loves him so much Eren i'm so happy to see you again! and that scene when they attacked the titans in the elevator was so intense, i could actually feel the tension! also, Armin is such a smart guy! you go, Armin!! |
| Still no 1/5 votes, someone needs to change that. |
| I don't know but from that scene of Mikasa seeing Eren on, it just got to me. Them feels~! Was contemplating to hand in my man card for nearly crying over an anime but prolly isn't worth it. But still, DEM FEELS~~! |
| You're all idiots, but I'm no different. |
| Still shots still shots everywhere! besides that Eren is back from the dead! not in the way i was expecting it so i guess i didn't really spoil myself but i can't even try to understand what happened it look like he..mounted that titan like a mech. easily the best part was him kicking all those baby titans lol |

Here, there's nothing creative about these stills, just shows a lack of time/animators Amarrez said: On another note, maybe people will stop bitching about Armin now? Because that was getting annoying. No, I am just thinking Armin could have been a girl |

They pan over the characters nicely while incorporating the voice so I get to appreciate the art just as much the animation. I think people need to accept the fact that this anime will have many stills later on. Next time one happens, just stare at how everyone's drawn =) Makes the moment feel shorter. |
| Actually really liked this episode. I was not sure how it was all going to go in the anime, but it was pretty solid and dat stonefaced Mikasa at the end crying. Action and OST was another plus too.

After watching it, I'm amazed as to how people are nitpicking at that. The most stills were at the HQ when they were preparing the trap. They were explaining the whole thing whilst heading to their positions. As much as I would have enjoyed some animation, it didn't hinder any less. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
WrathSC said: the animation is still fucking amazing wtf are u guys circlejerking bout The quality of hte art isn't much of a problem, in fact, they are great. But... The quantity, which is used in flip books to make animation, is lacking :/ |

| Stills are still better than quarity animation budget gaps. |
| Why did nobody notice how giant of an asspull it is that Eren was a titan? SMH. |

| Awesome episode Mikasa and Annie ftw! Armin did well in this ep. too :p 5/5 |
linchpin said: That was probably the best episode so far, with the last one on the second place. I think I'm starting to like this show, because I'm actually interested in what happens next. First episodes were like "oh, okay, seems decent, may watch, but it's kinda depressing". And now that there's hope on the horizon. People have been saying that a lot recently Isn't that just wonderful? The show gets better and better, stick around! |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| I knew that titan was Eren! I thought he was going to like transform back into Eren, so close enough. But still it's sick! |
 |
| I like the stills. A Shingeki episode without stills is not normal. |
| Freaking awesome, that episode had me captivated all the time. Cant wait to see the next episode :p |
