You can go for the spoiler dude, I won't be able to finish the two cours of the anime anyway as I am moving to place where Internet cost a fortune.

Well, to be fair - none of the Titan eating humans scene in episode 2 are in the manga. So, am okay with all the censorship (for now).

Also, I really like how they did the intro of episode 2.

And yes! to Mikasa punching Eren - he needed one. Everyone in the chat I was in was complaining about Eren's whining; they cheered when Mikasa punched him.

For now, there's just one thing I don't like about episode 2 - one too many still crowd backgrounds.

For some reason this felt like Gore and despair Fanservice.

Can Gore even be fanservice ?

That's true. But Eren's mom was in the manga and that was (cleverly) censored in the anime. I just hope they will show more later on when necessary or it could take away a lot of the feeling of despair and terror.

Everyone has its own gore sensitivity, there was too much of it for me when you add in the despair of it.

Grimedark seems to be this anime version of fanservice.

I certainly hope so, I liked how they ranked them in the manga. Btw, looking at the preview, it seems some scenes that appear in later chapters inside a flashback will be used, not that there is something wrong with it, I just hope they don't screw up

Don't have any problem with Eren's 'whining' in this episode because it was justified.

Thought this episode was pretty poor, and this is coming from a long-time fan of the manga [even gave the anime a 10 after one episode].

The music choice was awful, the titan-animation jerky at times , the transition between narrator and character dialogue done too frequently and at the wrong times, scenes were used and reused constantly.. i don't know, i was expecting some drop in quality but this doesn't even compare to the first episode. Shame, really.

Seems they changed Mikasa's chara-design a bit too, which pretty much killed her whole character.

Agreed to a certain extent.. I think Mikasa is fine as she is, she looks more girly but I'm pretty sure they didn't changed her personality.. I'm a big fan of the manga myself and even tho this isnt as good as episode 1, its no where near poor quality.

Yeah, i was just overreacting since episode one raised my expectations so high. Let's see how it goes.

2? Only 1 wall should be destroyed.

Unless you meant smaller walls and not the big ones named

I think that the second episode was slightly less well done at places than the first, but that still leaves it at pretty damn good instead of perfect.
It had some nice additions though, expounding a bit of how Eren felt, the Mikasa punch, and added emphasis on soldiers defending the gate.

Though I must say the anime designs for Mikasa and Christia at first made me going like 'oh, so the anime is going to add some decoy protagonists for more impact when they get devoured?'.
I caught on who they were only after rewatching the bootcamp introduction when I realized I must have somehow missed Mikasa.
Sasha was somewhat mostly recognizable (partly thanks to the potato) if a bit too sharp on features. Only Annie stayed fairly consistent with the manga.

It may turn out not be so bad in the end (for example compare with Mikasa in the ED, she's more similar to her manga persona there), but certainly threw me in for a loop at first.

EDIT:
Oh, also the ED is FUCKING AMAZING, both in terms of music and visuals. Gonna have this on repeat for days <3

I actually appreciate them taking their time and not rushing through the beginning. The pacing seems perfectly fine to me so far.

Amarrez said:
That wall breaking by the Armoured Titan was so incredibly done, the BGM was immense.

Also, that ED was lovely.
I think I got a slight boner at both the armored titan part and Mikasa ED.

Really? That's funny because I had an EXTREME boner.
Still do in fact.

EDIT: To be fair, I already had one prior to the episode, fueled entirely by hype.

The kid is not a prick and immature isn't the right word I would say he's mostly confused. That's the hard life for you.

People calling Eren a prick don't understand reality or something here. First off people saying other people are better off to die should be the ones to be called "Pricks." But yes, he's confused, 99% of the people would be.

I loved how they did the prologue for this episode. A good bit of anime original, but I think it was a really nice transition compared to the manga. And Eren's after-puberty voice is awesome! Only complaint is with Mikasa's lips, but that's not too big of a deal. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Overall, great episode!
