Considering how they got Eren into that position of being trapped, would've been much more desirable if Annie was searching through the debris and THEN gets the uppercut when Eren transforms. Seems really OOC for Annie to get "surprised" like that considering how she heard the lightning strike and practically had all the time in the world to react against Eren's punch. Hell even the second OP got that bit right...

Sorry if this has been asked before, just too lazy to scroll through the pages. Anyone knows the name of the OST that started playing when Erwin revealed Annie was the titan/Annie transforming in to the Titan part?


It's called "Call Your Name".

Manga's uppercut > Last scene in episode 24.
I disagree with this.

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.
Yeah, it does, but that's only because of where Eren was.

The scene in the Anime sent chills down my spine though. I guess I felt similar to the moment in Clannad when



It's been a long time coming, and it's sad to see it happen. I said this before, but you can tell it's Eren's sadness, not anger.

Why the fuck am I mentioning Clannad? I don't know. I just didn't really have another way to explain it.

Eren's speech or whatever was very good.

That punch was just a bit off, considering Annie is a very skilled fighter. She couldn't have let the punch get her unless Eren was coming from a blind side corner which he wasn't at all.

I think Annie was surprised by Eren. She underestimated his ability to attack his friends if need be. That's why I think she didn't counter.

Also, Eren was full of adrenaline.

Wow. What a great ep.

I don't get the Eren hate. I like him not always kicking ass, taking titles and saving everyone like a typical main hero of the story.
Also Yuki Kaji definitely nailed it.

The fact that Levi is not involved in the whole action is kinda annoying, but he stlil had some cool sassy lines.

I would also like to appreciate Jean's awesomeness in this episode. Gosh I love that guy.

Although some people think there were fillers in this episode but I consider not. With me those fillers u guys spoke of look more like original material which was handled beautifully.
Anything which contributes to the character developments, or depths of the story aren't really fillers.

She was surprised indeed, but not because she underestimated Eren. How could she after their confrontation just moments ago. In the anime, they made it seem like Annie hadn't noticed Eren until he was right behind her. Maybe Eren was being discreet and sneak in on her?

Come on Studio Wit, make it happen! Someone must suggest this to the Studio, I want to see this implemented.


In both cases, she acted surprised, as she should be (according to the manga).

In the anime version, what it was she said to Armin in the beginning of this episode? "I will take care my bet to pay off as well" (something like that).

What didn't the manga provide about the whole situation?
There were plans A and B. The manga shows almost nothing about plan B, except that Armin constantly comments Annie's actions and the Scouting Legion engages and chases. (In the anime one actually does understand how Erwin planned to battle her; along with the hardening ability, which, in the manga strangely appears only in the end, iirc). Annie intentions whether she leaves or whether she catches Eren and leaves in the manga are again only shown in Armin's words, who was trying to figure out which it will be - up to the very moment she reaches the open area.

But what if, instead listening to Armin, we actually see her changing plans and bets as she is fighting her way through the city? The manga and anime both show how Eren speeds up to reach her. Have we seen Eren doing speeding up like that before? The moment she faced the wall and was thinking of what to do next, Eren catches up. She definitely knows he can transform and she definitely heard him. I think she didn't expect him to appear so soon.

I am writing this, because it doesn't bother me at all, in fact.

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.
It's obvious that the staff has been on a very tight time schedule since they've aired incomplete episodes with missing animation. I've chosen to overlook these animation inconsistencies for the time being, as I'm positive that they will be fixed in the BD version. The three volumes released so far have had some nice improvements.

She probably assumed he didn't have it in him, and didn't see him as a threat. Eren never knew before that it was actually Annie. If he did, the forest fight would have been incredibly different.

Eren's face when he heard it is Annie.

Armin is one of my favs, in case someone didn't know. He is so intelligent, and smart and I love characters who use their brains.

Badass Mikasa is badass! Gotta love Jean's "I am tired of this wig", no doubt my fav. male character. Hanj, that craziness! She is such a boss. Eren was quite epic there, that blood!

From what I have seen, Annie doesn't want to hurt her comrades, but at the same time, she doesn't care to hurt the outsiders if they are going to kill her. In others, anything which goes against her ways (and she is unfamilar with that person), she won't hesitate, but if it is a comrade, then she will surely think. It is just her goal which is making her character come off bad, otherwise she is lovely. Life sure is cruel... I love her character personally.

THIS EPISODE WAS MARVELOUS!!!

Oh man, what a great episode. I'm glad they gave Hanji some screentime. She's creepy but funny at the same time in this episode, especially the part where she has a crazy look in her face, lmao. And Mikasa, she's amazing as always. ♥

Again people are missing the point it seems. My issue isn't so much that Annie wouldn't have been surprised, rather, the long-drawn scenario they created by having Eren transform with Annie blatantly hearing the lightning, and then have Eren come running down her direction and suddenly one-shotting her just seems like a derp moment on the anime staff's part. You can argue that Annie was "surprised" like in the manga, but all the elements in that scenario simply would not have allowed her to get so easily punched like that, even if she were underestimating Eren or not.

The reason I suggested the scenario of having Annie come back after fighting to search through the debris is because, not only would it have given proper focus on her aim while still allowing for all the filler material to happen, it also makes more sense for her to get completely caught off-guard like that with a legitimate surprise attack as opposed to her just sitting there until Eren "surprised" her with a punch just because she thought he "didn't have it in him".

While yes, Annie probably did think that Eren "didn't have it in him", but it doesn't change the fact that the scenario they had chosen to present such a situation makes Annie look really oblivious despite everything pointing to the contrary. It was sloppy and forced. For what could've easily been fixed with some careful scene-planning, it's like they just couldn't give a damn and just said "Oh yeah, and then Eren runs up and punches her because SHE TOTALLY DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EVEN WITH ALL THE LIGHTNING AND HIM TAKING HIS TIME AS HE RUNS STRAIGHT AT HER". I rest my case.

Not sure. I'll have to watch it again, but he definitely didn't suspect Annie.

It was much better in the Anime. If you think about it the way I said, more emotions are present, thus making the scene better.

Anyway, here's some randomly dumped pictures I feel bad for laughing at.



Also, I'm scared of how much Annie looks like Ino from Naruto.

If Eren didn't recognize it he wouldn't pause which means Eren knew it was Annie. He just didn't want to acknowledge the fact it was indeed Annie. Therefore he was in denial, not able to transform, Mikasa doubting his feeling etc.

I thought we were talking about the forest fight. Anyway, he might have recognized the stance, but think of Annie.

In fact, Armin was the one who realized it.

This doesn't make sense considering how the very scenario I presented not only retains the same "emotions" (Annie carefully searching through debris shows her carelessness and underestimation of Eren's capability more than anything else), but it also cleans up the sloppy scene-planning they implemented without sacrificing the filler material.

While yes, Annie probably did think that Eren "didn't have it in him", but it doesn't change the fact that the scenario they had chosen to present such a situation makes Annie look really oblivious despite everything pointing to the contrary. It was sloppy and forced. For what could've easily been fixed with some careful scene-planning, it's like they just couldn't give a damn and just said "Oh yeah, and then Eren runs up and punches her because SHE TOTALLY DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EVEN WITH ALL THE LIGHTNING AND HIM TAKING HIS TIME AS HE RUNS STRAIGHT AT HER". I rest my case.


The you really have a problem, because the anime version lured her out of the debris twice and kept her ambushed in every corner. The first time was away from the passage - Miaksa and Armin with the hoods on, the second, Armin and Jean with the capes. Annie was around there, I posted a shot of her and Armin exactly there, and when she saw Armin and (Jean) flying out, she chased.

With attack from all sides, Annie can't possibly return to look under some debris, I think. Hence, her coping on the run the best she can. She is a quick thinker and deadly to boot. Is it Annie? Sure she is.

Eren managed to punch her in the forest when she wasn't surprised. Why is it so strange if he manages to hit her, when she has a little time to figure out where from the punch is coming at her?

My issue isn't so much that Annie wouldn't have been surprised, rather, the long-drawn scenario they created by having Eren transform with Annie blatantly hearing the lightning, and then have Eren come running down her direction and suddenly one-shotting her just seems like a derp moment on the anime staff's part.

My only issue is with the punch. Eren managed to send her flying like 1500+ meters high in the forest....

They should've made Annie flew straight to the other side of the square :c.

It probably would have, but since she was falling towards the ground, and a building, a big one, was blocking her, she didn't.

Also, Titans are actually really light.

You just answered your own question: Because SHE DIDN'T have little time. She reacted to the lightning. She stood there waiting. She was expecting him. She even side-glanced at his direction. What you were referring to about her getting hit before mainly has to do with the fact that she was already fighting Eren and thus everything remains unpredictable. Here though? All signs pointed to the contrary and she was still "surprised".

Maybe, just maybe, it's possible that she was (Manga Spoilers)


It's entirely possible.

The anime simply shows more of Eren's inner thoughts, that's all.

That's why I picked up what the episode offers - she is weighing possibilities, and it seems to me that if she had him once, she would have him again. Her main problem is what (and how) to do next - evade the Scouting Legion and secure herself a route for escape. A great one :))
