TK6 said: i know it felt dragged out but it is simply because the anime will catch up the manga in less than no time No, the pacing matched up with the manga pretty fine... Its only slow feeling because you can't just speed through all the chapters like with a manga What boers me though, is that they need stills for even the most basic scenes. And unlike Bakemonogatari, the stills here aren't creative, or fun to watch at all |

| Seems like Eren is finally coming back to his senses. Will he be able to still follow through with the plan though? And what's going to happen to Jean? :O |

I'm the one here with ADD, and the pace hasn't bugged me one bit. This so called "slowness", is nothing compared to some other crap I've seen. I actually prefer this over a show rushing things so fast that you don't even have a chance to catch your breath or focus on all of it. |

The halfpoint is more or less next ep so your expectations are technically met. |
| To be precise the halfway point would be halfway through this episode. And I meant we'd be past this part and moved on to the next already. But it's not a major issue. |
| Oh there are some extra scenes not on the manga, or i guess they are making the scenes longer so that they can end on a nice ending/hanging ending at the 25th episode. Epic episodes as usual, that 4 eyed bitch is as annoying as ever same in the manga. And that Mikasa blush :OOO!!!! I really like that BGM at near end when Eren was talking back to Armin, giving me goosebumps at same time making me wanna fight titans! xD |

| 5/5 Albeit slowly, the episode was full of pathos, and I was intrigued! |
 |
| This soundtrack is just way too amazing. Gets my blood boiling at the angry parts and goosebumps at the crazy parts. Can't wait till the next episode! Mikasa blushing was so cute. xD |

| Still a very solid episode. Jean twist was cool considering they have been very consistent. Re-read each chapter with each episode to pass the time to next saturday (course work helps that too :D) |

keroroslayer said: I didn't really like this episode either, but that is absolute bullshit. The first two episodes of Shingeki have more story than all of Naruto, and the budget of three episodes is higher than 300 of Naruto Shitpuden.6/10 srlsy this is getting boring, nothing rly happened, even Narutos filler has more storyLine in it than Shingeki overall^%^ |

DawnJ said: Fanboy: "This animation is not only about action." Fanboy: "Epic action made up for it." Behold the beauty of contradiction. Alright three things: First, recognizing the fact that a scene prior to this episode was particularly well animated, and that there would potentially be a bit of quality fallout as a subsequent result is not tantamount to saying "but the epic action made up for it." That implication was all you. Second, on what basis are you assuming that I [and anyone else you may have been paraphrasing] am a fanboy? Third, I just read the last 3 pages and I don't think anyone even said the first "fanboy quote." Regardless, they don't even contradict each other to begin with; the first says "this animation is not only about the action," which could be construed in a variety of ways but, supposedly coming from a fanboy, must've been meant defensively. The only context that makes sense in, again, if it were coming from a fanboy, is if he [because women don't exist on these forums] were saying "sure, there isn't much action and a lot of stills, but this animation isn't just about the action." Whereas the second quotation points out that there actually is, in fact, epic action [a consequence of epic animation], which [depending on your personal disposition] makes up for the aforementioned lack thereof. You could simply view the second quote as a correction, and reassurance, of the first. Lastly, the above 3 don't actually matter, as I was joking to begin with; I find reused animation to be as equally unacceptable as anyone else. The first bit was just to point out your poor habit of selective hearing reading. The second was to point out that you potentially made a biased assumption with little evidence to back it up, and the third was to hammer in the first two. Fanboys are the plague of any group of viewers, but, to a lesser extent, so are the snobbish people who spend their free time finding ways to denounce them [which you may or may not be, I'm not going to judge]. |

My post wasn't to you. Not even inspired(lol) by your post. Don't be upset please. You know, they are actual fan(atical)boys bashing other [haters/critic-wannabes/mere-anime-watchers] when SnK is criticized. In that case, what's those fanboys' core logic to defend? 'SnK is not all about action'. I'm pretty sure you have seen them. I won't bother showing those to you if you haven't, but I'm not lying. 'SnK is not all about action', this means this anime has some philosophical depth or rich dialogue, intriguing settings and mysteries, and/or whatever more than brainless action. Does it? A matter of opinion, but I've seen better in other mangas, animes, novels and movies. To some people, some shitty(to me) media content can be godsent, I know that. But 'SnK is not all about action' logic is used to retort upon people who is criticizing SnK for whatever reason(lack of action, being dragged tooch, etc.). Do fanboys really want to *discuss* using this argument? Nope. So, I don't respect them and the logic. That's it. |

Likewise, there's no problem with being vocal about your logical disagreements with AoT fanboys, in fact I would encourage it, so long as you're denouncing actual fanboys and not someone who you misconstrued as one. You seem to be doing the former [I think, though I don't actually know who you were replying to if it wasn't me], so we have no problem. |

| Yeah, they better compensate for the slowness of the past few episodes... by making Eren get up on the very first second of the next episode, pick up the boulder, and THROW it to the hole within the 45 seconds! How's that for pacing and build-up compensation? Okay, jokes aside, I absolutely hated this part of the manga, and I still do. Everything here are just my preferences, but I just hated how people were dying left and right around Eren while they were ALL just waiting for him because he's oh-so-important. I know that he's irreplaceable and that he's the only one who can save mankind at this point, but the amount of people dying around him just can't make up for it for me to actually commend Eren. But other than that, I still extremely loved every single part of the past few episodes. I have no problem whatsoever with the pacing, because I'm the type who actually likes the fillers they put here because they expand the kinds of situations and personal matters that also happen to other characters, like how Jean and some people were struggling to keep themselves alive while waiting for the objective to be completed. It showed how people would still have conflicts with each other even though they all share the same hope of saving as many people as they can. It also gives light to how the situation of the main characters are also causing trouble for every other side character at the same time and didn't only worry about the main characters and go, 'Oh, don't worry, the side characters were just sacrificial lambs and expendable delaying tools because Eren needed to get himself sorted out for a few more mins. At least Eren isn't dead. Just wait for him while they get themselves killed to keep Eren nice and cozy there, mmk?' Funnily enough, it looks like a manga marathoner like me (just to Ch. 19, and in one sitting) views the slowed pace and expanding fillers an extremely good two-thumbs-up and not a drag like almost everyone else thinks it is. |
| The pacing is quite really slow. I anticipated that Eren would be able to lift the rock in this episode at least... |

| Oh wow im so proud of Armin taking things in control these past 2 episodes. I think im really starting to develop some moe love for Riko she truly does touch my heart with that slender body （●´∀｀）ノ♡ xD Maybe whats evers in the basement will help Eren control his power?mmmm just a thought though. AAAHHH sunday is the last of the Battle of Trost Arc, and im glad!yooosh (ಥ ⌣ ಥ) |
| Well, that took longer than I expected. They're really extending the Battle of Trost and expecting to end the first half of the anime with it. I previously had *no* big problems with the pacing, but the fact that we're almost halfway through the anime and the Battle of Trost is still not yet over is giving me pause for concern. About just how far we'll be able to go into the story once the second half ends. Not that I liked the Battle of Trost that much in the manga in the first place. There's still plenty of good parts to come after this. Fiji said: Same here.The pacing is quite really slow. I anticipated that Eren would be able to lift the rock in this episode at least... |
godstriker8 said: Just how long does the damn defense of Trost take? I swear, this is going to take up half of the series. How is the series going to have a satisfying conclusion at this rate? I dunno... I thought that the next episode would be the climax, cause, ya know |

| Kinda off topic but does anyone know if the new OP will air on tomorrow's episode or the next one? |

Darklight0303 said: aria93 said: Kinda off topic but does anyone know if the new OP will air on tomorrow's episode or the next one? I'd expect it after the recap episode since new arc and all Oh...And I thought it would air earlier given that the anime has 25 episodes and they would decide to go with: ep.1-13 ''Guren no Yomiya'' and ep.14-25 ''Jiyuu no Tsubasa''. Anyways, I hope it's a good one. The preview of it was fine but until I listen to the TV version and see the scenes in it, I can't judge. |
Darude said: Quote me, As the coming episode 13 will be all action and epic ending. I know because I've read the manga. So have some god damn faith you babies. |
| Can't wait! |
| Great episode, the action (with the elites, at least) is really good! More epic OSTs to go with the epic scenes =) Haha, Mikasa's boyfriend =P 5/5. |
 |
| Pacing is just fine to me, there's alot of crap they have to get through. I loved the stuff added with Jean. My only question with the anime is if we get all the way to the next big titan arc. |
 |
| the ending of this episode was badass >.< |
| Loverbirds <3 |
 |
| Well that was nervewracking. @_@ If Eren really was Mikasa's boyfriend, wouldn't that leader factor that in his decision, that maybe she was just protecting Eren? At least he could have said that she needed to be careful. Go Armin! I love those three, they all have their strengths and things that only they can do. That cliffhanger! |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| Eren...do not pass to the dark side. He will rise from the deep and kill them all. |

| Mikasa blussed... 10/10 episode for me. |
| Come on, Eren, ACTIVATE!!!!!! >:O and Jean, get cho shit together, mang! |
| Blonde did a good job. About time Eren wakes up. |
 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. |
| kinda dragged on but the last 10 mins were good. |
| I have no problems with the pacing. It may appear to be slow, but it doesn't feel forced to me, and they're also enjoyable to watch from how SnK has so far. |
