| Loved this episode. I think it was one of the best, even with no action at all. And Armin finally showed some balls. But yeah, the ost is what's making this series as good as it is. I got goosebumps a couple of times because of it. 5/5 again. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Great episode, but waiting for this for another week is like torture! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

Amarrez said: This makes for a good laugh, haha. Pretty enjoyable ep, Pixis is pretty cool. Can't really blame the bearded dude who looks like he gets no sleep, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't dislike him. Wonder why the hell they'd make someone like him a leader. Nice to see Armin muster up a lil courage and confidence, I like him a lot now. |

| The anime isn't that bad, but it doesn't deserve #8, or at least not at this point.. Seriously, tell me, what has it shown so far? Not a high quality drama for sure, nor some actual story development for like 10 episodes. The characters are of mediocre quality. I'm not hating, I just can't find reasoning for the hype behind this anime. SAO was times as powerful by episode 8. |

SAO aside,people are REALLY enjoying SnK.Whether its char development is top notch or original ,or its drama is as good a some other shows means nothing if people like it even like this. Unless you can prove that MAL's Top list is based on "art" alone. |

The fact that Code Geass R2 is there is a fucking joke. People like this show cause its exciting and Titans are moe~ Lets just leave it at that. |

| Felt pretty short compared to the others, still quite fine :) Armin did a pretty good job |

| Lots of drama, talking, and flashbacks, but it's nice to see Armin play a role finally. Mikasa must have this aura around her, because whenever I look at her, I'm thinking wow, she's so cool. haha. |

| What a slow episode, it does not deserve so many 5/5s. |

Can't say that I sagree with that, but he probably enjoyed that show Rico? That girl has been alive for too long, she has to have some kind of major role. |

| Great voice acting by Inoue Marina! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Finally Armin grows his backbone. This arc may last another 3-4 episodes at this rate. |

| Am I the only that notice the last episode and this episode just don't connect right. Eren bites his thumb and half-transforms into a titan to protect his friends like he knows what he is doing. Then a few seconds later, agh..wtf am i doing, i dont understand. FAIL!!! Then no normal army would take so long to fire... just my opinion. |

I think that’s the confusion |

Then no normal army would take so long to fire... just my opinion. I forgot how much time was supposed to pass but the absolute best of the best artillery team can fire 1 shot every 90 seconds. It usually took much longer for most teams often reaching over 3 minutes to fire 1 round. And that is besides the dramatic time slowing to think that the show does. Remember talking is Free action. |

| Beard guy should have been shot or smt..... |
| In the late stages of the Battle of Trost (which has been going on for a little bit too long), Armin steps forward to salvage the worsening situation, and as the paranoid commander prepares to surrender to his fears, his superior steps in to halt him, convinced in the potential worth of Eren and his friends to the war effort. Another largely faithful episode. As a reader of the source material, I'm satisfied with how this episode was adapted. Could use a bit of speeding up, but it's alright. |
| As a negotiator I feel like this episode had done me some honor. Beautifully and intensely put. Not having read the manga might have had some influence, though. But anyways, thoroughly enjoyable. |
| Man, them sitting there in the smoke, trying to figure out what to do was in intense. Armin really showed them their worth. Well, not to that paranoid commander; he's an asshole. |
 |
| Armin was really great in this episode, great to see him finally valuing himself as an asset to Mikasa and Eren. Looking forward to seeing how they use Eren's power. |
| Finally, A level headed leader. Was wondering if they existed! |
| 1 word... Pixis |
| Wow, some epic social combat stunting by Armin! He's right though, that commander was unwilling to think at all. Unwilling to even consider the possability of a new asset. Fear will do that to you. Perhaps that asshole shouldn't be in command... |
| Liked that commander Dot Pixis... He is like a crazy sage. |
| +1 to Pixis for saving the day. That captain dude annoyed the hell out of me. |
| Eren, you can do anything. Lesgo! |
| Pretty good episode However, by far the weakest so far :) |
| loved this episode, finally got interest |
| Great speech. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Wow, this episode went by so quickly. 5/5 Pixis FTW :D |
| Just picked this series back up and I have to say it's been awesome so far for the most part. Only thing I can't stand is Armin. I'm sorry, but it's annoying as hell having to sit and watch him think how worthless he is. He needs to grow up and learn to stop being a wuss. I can understand why he's like that and I'm by no means a fearless badass but it's getting ridiculous. Anyways, just wanted to rant a bit ^^ |

| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
