| The only problem with the running scene is where Eren started his run. The layout: Buildings → row of trees → cathedral. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48695418/annie%20back.jpg After punching Annie initially, he actually took an additional step forward and ended up past the buildings: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48695418/eren2.jpg But when he started his run again, he was way back. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48695418/eren.jpg My conclusion is that Titan Eren took a few steps back offscreen after punching Annie. Who knows why? Maybe to get a large enough running start to do a high enough leap in order to perform a powerful enough sumo slam on her. Don't forget the buildings and trees provide a certain illusion of distance. Look at the first picture, the row of trees is a mere step for Titan Annie, but when Eren was running at the very end, the distance between the trees looked huge. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48695418/eren%20running.jpg Maybe it's the camera angle or maybe the director wanted to exaggerate the running scene a little but ultimately it is no biggie, unless you really really want to be pedantic about it. And this made me laugh: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48695418/horseface.jpg |

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". It's entirely possible. Perhaps, but even then, they could done a better job depicting that. They still need to do some cleaning up on that scene, BD fix should hopefully compensate. I still support Ronri's idea. Her foiling the Scouting Legion's plan and trying to recover Eren from the debris in a last ditch effort to take him away, only to take an uppercut from a freshly transformed Eren sounds better than what we've been given. |

rahrahrahRyan said: I can sense a big fight scene coming up. I won't be satisfied unless the fight scene is spectacular. It will be. At the very least, the last episode will be better than episode 21 and 24. They had so much pride in the episode that they wanted to fans see it on a big screen. It has to be good, at least in terms of animation. Although some nitpicker would later probably say something like "based on the laws of physics, Annie should have landed 5 tree lengths away instead of just 4." |
AnimageNeby said: AironicallyHuman said: >>> 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'... Could be, I don't remember. If it was only a few posts before mine, chances are I didn't read it, however, since I only read in depth the posts to about page 15 here. By then the 'yes-no/trivial faults or not'- bickering between different posters were already apparent (I think some even got deleted). The rest were more or less repetitions, so I largely skipped over them. That everyone agrees with me and doesn't give you credit seems at the same time an exaggeration and a frustration of an egotistical whiner. What are you, a kid? Who the f- cares if random people on some forum gives you 'credit' or not? And credit for what? It's not like you invented something or 'insightful' posts should get credit (if they are insightful to begin with, even). No, it's just a forum, dude, get a grip. And if it's your last post as you say, for Gods' sake, be consistent and let it BE your last post. Nothing worse than people saying they'll stop posting and yet continue. Now, as for your perceived fanboyism and lack of 'logic' of what I said, I'm afraid you're starting with the wrong premise. A straw man fallacy, even. I didn't say it it was an abject failure, I talked about some minor issues. I don't know in what world you live in, but mine isn't black-or-white. You CAN have some errors in a series, and still like the series. If you are only going to be satisfied with something when it achieves complete perfectness, you're never going to be satisfied with anything in your life, I'm sorry to say. There are - just as in every anime - some minor issues in as well the manga as the anime. Some were rectified in the anime, some weren't, and some were introduced in the anime. All in all, none of them were major (unless you think having(no) blood in his mouth after biting it, or a scene with a titan running while he shouldn't have to run that far, makes or brakes a series. If that is the case, you have either an autistic tendency or are an obsessive, unrealistic perfectionist. Normally, one has enough common sense to allow for some errors and mistakes; we're only human, after all. As long as it doesn't break the story or characterisation, these kind of errors mean very little, and shouldn't keep you from assessing the series as being great, all in all. In fact, these are trivial. FAR more important will be how the mangaka will deliver in the end, about the mystery of that world. I hope he can give it a satisfying and logical end, with a well-thought out revelation and climax. I'm far more concerned about that, than whatever small fry a lot of people seem to bicker over here. So yes, I noticed the little errors, and I thought people endlessly defending or fighting over it were being idiotic. Yes, there are errors in it. Period. And yes, it doesn't mean the series isn't worth watching anymore, and one can still find it highly enjoyable. I would say it's true the question where 'the line is drawn' is different for each person. But it's a fantasy-themed anime, for gods' sake, not a scientific paper (and even there small mistakes are possible that don't influence the conclusion). Some might find the unrealistic 'swing-flights' (and yes, they ARE unrealistic) between trees with air-gear with timely retracting barbs too much to bear. So be it. Some might even find the series unwatchable because there is possibly a slight gloss to be detected on Mikasa's lips. Ok, fine. Don't watch it then. Most of the more intelligent and socially adept or normal-tolerant people, however, will not have any major issues with little mistakes that don't break the story, characterisation, or plot. Said it better than I did. Friends? |

| I have to say, that was a pretty fantastic penultimate episode, in my opinion. I like the direction we have going into the last episode, even knowing that it won't be conclusive. The build-up of tension in the first half of the episode was great, and then we got some glorious action scenes in the second half. Eren's moral conflict over fighting Annie seemed a bit dragged out for my tastes, but I enjoyed the episode immensely nonetheless. I wouldn't call the content of the episode "filler" necessarily, since I actually thought that it was necessary build-up for the finale. I enjoyed seeing Armin's deductions and the transitions between the present situation and the flashbacks to the FT's identity being revealed to Eren. |
| Shingeki episode parallel: Another with Armin trying to get Eren's life back together while Mikasa fights all epic. Didn't like how Eren got stomped by Annie's Atlas Foot, but otherwise the changes didn't upset me much. Good episode, even if it was filled with filler, it was pretty good filler. |

| Enjoyable episode. Since I'm a fanboy of both Mikasa and Annie I love seeing them both in action, so I truthfully didn't mind the fillers. If you want to be objective and nitpick the episode, then yes those fillers do introduce some inconsistencies. But who cares? Subjective enjoyment comes first. Reading through some of the complaints (not just for this episode, but for the previous as well), I have a feeling that a lot of them stem from manga readers being discontent with either Eren or Annie's characterization. I can understand arguments for that (Eren's decision to transform was drawn out much, much longer), but to claim that those changes ruin the anime or make it fail as a faithful adaptation is going too far. |

| That bite made me cringe, if there's one place I hate getting an injury at, other than my neck and bellybutton, it's my hands. Also, I think this episode to way too fucking long to get where it was going, and the amount of punishment and pep-talks it took to make Eren transform was just painful. It seems like Eren's transformations are kind of like beating-off with no material and no object of masturbation; Sometimes you go off in two minutes, and you're like "Shit, why was it so fast?", other times you do it for 30 minutes, and nothing happens. It seems to me that there will be a second season for sure. There isn't enough time to wrap everything up, and ending after beating Annie would leave a lot of loose ends. It sounds like the manga went on for much longer than what can be squeezed into 25 ultra-shittily paced episodes. I always hate it when you can tell right from the start that the episode is going to end right before the good shit happens, especially when the last episode ended right before the good shit happens. Overall, I liked the series, I don't think it deserves to be in the top ten, but I think it deserves most of the hype. I think that if it wasn't the hot new show everyone's talking about, it would be considered an underrated gem. Maybe not top tier, and not as good as something like Cowboy Bebop or Monster, but worth watching. I'll most certainly watch season 2. |

ibrahim2712 said: Eren was maddddd this episode He was ANGRY You could say: Eren, are you mad bro? |
| Amazing episode! Seeing Eren getting up despite aggravating his chest wound from the planks really fired me up. On an amusing note, he would have died from his injuries if he had failed to transform. It looks like the fighting will take place during the last episode as expected. I'm pleased to see Jean looking at the Military Police condescendingly in the midst of their confusion. He sure is glad that he changed for the better. My favourite character by far. |
yuquall said: Pipoko said: Levi_Squad said: Oh hell he's weak. Come on she transformed right in front of him and Eren asked Armin and Mikasa how can they fight her? The real question is why cant he fight her, did he have feelings for her, were the close? NO..Did eren forgot how she killed his squad and all other soldiers before? Why the hell would hesitate so much? Everyone's fighting and he's just mopping there. Yep WEAK.. Well, at least people can stop calling him a psychopath with no feelings. The fact that Eren showed that hesitation is actually a good thing, even if he had to throw that humanity away by the end of the episode. Well, it depends on how we view that situation I suppose. Either he is weak or he just doesn't want to fight Annie. I don't believe he's that weak, so I think it might be the latter. I agree with you. I think people are overlooking the fact that Annie was essentially Eren's mentor during their days in the Training Corps. in which, not only was she the one who taught him how to fight in hand-to-hand combat, she was also the first person to drastically change his viewpoint regarding the military system thus becoming huge influence on him. It'd make sense why he'd be so hesitant to fight her considering the special bond he had formed with her during their days in the Training Corps. I don't think it helps that the anime skipped other scenes that showed Eren interacting more with Annie, and it really doesn't help in establishing Eren's hesitation in this episode and why he feels so bad about the situation. The same could be said on Annie's part and why she respects Eren so much in the first place. Heck, Eren is the only person that ever actually made Annie genuinely smile, which in of itself a pretty big deal in terms of showcasing how connected the two were supposed to be: http://www.mangapanda.com/shingeki-no-kyojin/14/32 Still it's too early to tell of course. For all I know, they could be saving up all the Eren/Annie scenes for the last episode. I just hope that they don't just stick with Eren going all RAGE MODE and actually convey his clear-minded view during the fight when he was trying to deduce Annie's motives for doing what she's doing, because really, that would just kill the point and outright remove a specific part of his character development. |

| If they include the flashbacks of Annie and Eren training together, then we (anime viewers) would further understand Eren's predicament. I would love to see that. I hope they include Mikasa's reaction to all of this be it from manga or added filler because her inquiry about them during the tunnel scene was epic. Hoping Mikasa says this: "Naze, naze Eren? Kanojo wa anata o uso to kizutsukeru shinagara watashi wa, anata ga anzen ni tamotsu. Naze.. ?" I hope I got that right hehe. |

AnimageNeby said: n10sity said: My thoughts on the punch: Like others have already said, I believe Annie heard the thunder/lightning and waited for Eren to come to her. However, due to the layout of the city and the tall buildings. I don't think she could pinpoint from which direction Eren was approaching due to the echoes. I believe the animators tried to show this but I'm not sure they did so effectively. We know from the fight in the forest how fast Eren is in his Titan form. So I believe by the time she noticed which direction Eren was coming from she caught a fist to the face. That's what I believe. This does not sound very convincing. The direction of the sound would at least have given her an indication of where to expect Eren. The lightning would have pinpointed it. She had her BACK turned to that side, however. The most reasonable guess would be that she LET Eren come after her, and just waited for him. But the problem with that is, that she definitely acted surprised when he showed up. You can't be surprised by someone you expected to come after you. And it still wouldn't explain why she wasn't facing the right direction. Here's one theory out of the box... What if she wanted to be punched? Most people who do heinous crimes and get away with it have a certain level wanting to be caught. |
