(Kaisan Shiki no Yoru Jinrui no Saiki )
“Night of the Disbanding Mankinds Recovery (2)”
Shingeki no Kyojin rolls into its fourth episode, and gosh darn, it doesn’t look like we’ll ever get a break with this series. But that’s just fine with me, because there just hasn’t been any other series in recent memory that’s been able to give us not only two, not only three, but four superb episodes in a row to startwhich is what Shingeki has managed to do, and it’s a quite the feat to say the least. Moving right on in thoughthis week’s episode notably gives us quite a bit to talk about, so bear with me, because this’ll end being a fairly long post.
And first and foremost on our agenda? A discussion about the cast. Having been introduced to them previously in last week’s development-filled episode, we already had a nice grasp of the individual characters and their respective quirks/personality/pasts, but this week follows it up with a bit morein the form of individual critics from the drill sergeant:
And suffice to say, it was superbly done. Because as you can see, they manage to give every character his/her own moment in the spotlight, and it’s something that’s pretty amazing when you consider how they not only have to juggle fitting a large amount of material into this adaptation, but have to do so with an exceptionally large + diverse castsomething that a fair amount of series struggle to do with casts half the size of Shingeki’s. Really, it’s just a testament to how well the development’s been done when you’re already feeling at home with such a large cast four episodes in, and it’s just great stuff…
…especially when you note how they’ve tied in each person’s past into how their personality + views have developedsomething that shows itself both in the discussion between Annie and Eren mid-episode and Eren’s announcement that he would be joining the Recon Corps near the end. Indeed, we can see how Annie’s ability to see the contradiction behind people training to fight Titans just so they can get the privilege to avoid them is something that correlates to her past, and on the flipsidewe can also see how Eren’s past made it so he didn’t. And it’s something that ultimately mixes itself into a discussion about what a soldier’s duty is and the double-edged sword that is human nature…
…the latter of which is something that can either cause our own downfall or guide us to our salvation. Needless to say though, Shingeki’s really hammering in on the negative parts of human nature… and it’s not a pretty sight. After all, overconfidence and complacency led the humans in Shingeki’s universe to the situation they’re in now. At the same time thoughand this is perhaps the most important thing when talking about human natureyou can’t blame people for feeling and acting the way they did, which really adds a measure of complexity to the developments in this series and also highlights the maturity of Eren when he meets Hannes again.
Going back up to the soldier’s duty part for a moment though, I gotta say… I had already noted that Shingeki borrowed heavily from the Muv-Luv Alternative VN Trilogy, but I never expected it to be this similar. The entire bit about soldier’s duty just conjured up many memories from the VN, and it’s something that makes it so I have to at least put this fitting quote from MLA out there:
“Achieve your mission with all your might.Despair not till your last breath.Make your death count.”
Sounds quite fitting to Shingeki does it not? But yeah, it’s something that just highlights the importance of how you can’t give up just because you think you can’t win. If you give up, you lose before you even start. But if you stay alive and try to fight, at least you have a chance, no matter how slim it is. It’s about hope, and it’s about fighting for the memories of those that fell before you to get you this far. Some truly powerful concepts there…
…just like “human resilience”, which shows itself this week in the form of “humanity regaining its dignity” in only five short years. Going back to the discussion about human nature, this is arguably the one thing that really balances out the negativesthis ability to fight back in the face of adversityand it’s just nice to see the series sneaking this in…
…even if it’s short-lived, as the Titans make their epic return as well. Seems like the series just loves its epic SURPRISE! moments (which have spawned many a memes) and it looks like Eren and the rest of our cast’ll have to go through a trial by fire to start off their new lives as full fledged soldiers. And well, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Ultimately, it’s just another great episode, and I just can’t wait for next week.
**EDIT#1: REFRAIN FROM SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT IN THE MANGA. I’m seeing a whole lot of things being discussed that just have no business being talked about now (either with or without spoiler tags). If I see repeat offenses, your comments will be deleted and I may have to think about asking for bans as well.
**EDIT#2: Due to personal reasons, I have asked Asobi (thanks!) to cover Shingeki 05, so the next post will probably release at a different time than the norm. I am currently unsure if I will return for episode 06, but I will resume coverage on episode 07 at the latest.

SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I’m dying for the next episode!!!
there will be blood..
I agree! Was so pumped towards the end I almost fell off the chair yelling when the “To Be Continue” popped up. That buildup + the stare down between Eren and the Titan was just too epic! Going to be a painful wait for next episode… T.T
Alongside Railgun and few others, this’s this season’s GuP for me
I’m rooting for the Titans. Can’t stand these characters.
I’ll eat you first 😀
OMG!! more food!!
I will save you.Don’t worry.
I don’t know but I found it to be quite humorous that rescue corps soldier got disliked (and how were the titans able to type? 0_0 )
The Titans are evolving in being of human’s(if not superior)intellect.Truly fascinating and morbid creatures.
StarFang, are you implying a Shinsekai Yori and SnK crossover? xD
Oh but little did you know… little. did. you. know.
The fluidity of the action sequences is probably the best from this season. The 3D Gear scenes surpassed what I imagined from the manga.
OMG THE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES…
I’m really hoping there’s some in depth exposition at some point on the nature of the titans and detail on things like why they can appear in flashes of lightning just outside the walls but don’t just plop down in the middle of the city instead.
You really wanna know? It’s cause they’redisguised as humans. And by that I mean, Annie, Berthold, and Reiner. Outside of that though, I ‘m so sad that they took out Mikasa’s foreshadowing for her backstory about owing her life to Eren when he saved her.
If there’s something worth spoiling that’s good enough hope for me but there’s no way in hell i’m clicking either of those…
Yeah seriously, don’t click on those spoilers above. It’s pretty much THE BIGGEST plot twist that has occurred in the manga so far.
A friendly advice for every anime-only watchers: read the manga as soon as you can. Chances that you will be spoiled on this website or elsewhere are REALLY high. Don’t even read Attack on Titan’s wikipedia entry, the characters’s bio are full of spoilers (and there’s no spoilers warning!). Read the manga and enjoy the ride 🙂
@GHWikipedia is the mistake I made with Another. Really wasn’t expecting the main reveal of the series to just be sitting in a character bio.
She’s good!!!
“Sasha just ripped a giant fart, sir”
AGAIN!? LEARN SOME SELF-CONTROL
Mikasa satisfied sasha by bread.
That looked like the best bribe ever lol
Potato girl best girl
Best part was the look on everyone’s faces. Especially the twintail girl.
Yeah!! Time for some Titan v Human fight!!
Amazing episode after Amazing episode, this will probably be a great contender for Anime of the Season
Dat animation…and fart too. lol
I always wonder who’s the narrator at the beginning of the episodes. Really cool voice!
Sounds like Marina Inoue to me, the seiyuu that voices Armin.
OHHH HOHOHOHO!! S**T JUST GOT REAL!!http://images.randomc.net/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin%20-%2004%20-%20Large%2036.jpgThe hype just keeps rising! That’s pretty much the 4 chapters so far in a nutshell.Although from this point on…we’re in for a great deal of action…AND MOAR POTATO-wait..potato girl just right now stole a steak…so…right now is steak girl??GRILLED POTATO AND STAKE GIRL!!! (and loud fart one, lol)
And they seemed to forget that it was because of their continuing to “resist” and live that they were still alive then; humanity building the walls and protecting what’s left of mankind could be seen as their own way of “fighting”. Sure, today, it’s easy to see people “living comfortably” within the walls like “giving up”, but as mentioned, you can’t exactly blame them for wanting to do so and, sadly, it’s just how a lot of humans tend to be.
It appeared in a lightning bolt, anyone notice? Something that big would have been spotted miles away. The plot thickens. Also, place your bets on who’s going to be dead by the end of the series.
I bet generic citizen 73 will be dead by the end of the series.
i hate to break it to you but generic citizens #41 to #513 dies in the next episode
@ginobi47Seriously man, SPOILER tags. I honestly thought #41 was going to survive.
Didn’t generic citizen #000001 through #199,871 already die in the 3rd episode? In order to reduce the population within Wall Rose?
No, that was generic citizen #199,871~ onwards. Maybe a few were caught up before it. #41 was seeing his aunt in Wall Rose at the time so he didn’t get caught up in the first Titan attack. #51 has a part time job inside Wall Sina and due to it, he rarely has time to go back to his home in Wall Maria. I can’t really remember some of the others.But some of the earlier generic citizens avoided the first Titan attack as there was a huge market sale going on in Wall Rose so they weren’t in their homes at the time.
Yeah, kinda agree with Eren that joining the RC is much more badass and awesome, just look at these crests, who would want to wear roses and unicorns as their symbol. xDAnd wow, the gods in this world are just toying with the humans, they are just summoning giant moving flesh out of nowhere, and for what reason, I really want to know.
I’d say this show is the only new show (for me) that has maintained its excellent quality, four episodes in. ‘Hataraku Maou-sama!’ was quite entertaining for the first two before it became stale and I may even drop it if it keeps getting clichd and blows it; I never cared for ‘Suisei no Gargantia’ since it has literally all the ingredients and components to piss me off, as in the greatest hit of Cher or Justin Timberlake, which is like saying there is no doubt that it’s very popular and may be considered excellent among those who like that -but not me. I like ‘To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S’ much better than the first one, but that one is an acquired taste. Well that about sums up most if not all of the popular series of this season, right? Anyway I digress. To those of you manga readers: while it’s no doubt that the show so far has skipped or omitted a bit of the manga materials, it somehow doesn’t feel like any major parts have been dumped. I have a hard time remembering since this is going so dead-on linear. I think it’s just a little bit here and there. Nothing major that I can think of. It’s more of pacing that stands out for me. It somehow feels very fast, almost to the point being slightly rushed, but not quite. I bet I feel that way since I already read the manga; I kinda wish they really would take time -similar to Uchuu Kyoudai or Monster- and develop & tell the story since the manga materials have so much that it could have easily done that.But it is what it is and on the other hand, I’d think If I hadn’t the manga already, the pacing so far would be just fine. In fact, I’d say while it felt slightly rushed at times, but that also makes it quite fast moving, dynamic and exciting, which suit the anime very well. So far so good; just feel slight apprehensive towards future episodes since it looks like it may be inevitable that some stuff will get cut (yeah, yeah, I don’t want to be those who cry foul on every little changes on manga/anime adaptation. And I am not).
In terms of the manga and the anime comparisons, I really can’t complain.Like others have commented previously, it’s nice, and frankly better, that everything is happening linearly rather than constant flashbacks in the middle of big plot moments/fights.Honestly, while some of them were quite fitting, others were just plain annoying to have a flash back inserted seemingly at random.As for the anime cutting anything, I have yet to see any complaints really. Its following the source material quite well, and, if anything, I’m anticipating seeing the net few episodes… Hope they do everything justice!
Next week’s episode is going to be gooood.
That music from the final scene was beyond epic! Reminded me of 300.
Anyone knows the name of the songs in this episode?As Kinjutsu mentioned above and the song in the intro of characters in the series.
If you end up finding out, post it.
The song that played when the 10 were standing in a line reminded me of a track out of Gundam Unicorn. I shivered. Really need the soundtrack and the name of that track.
It’s another Sawano Hiroyuki vocal stable eh. It should definitely be included in the OST though. Just gotta wait until we get an actual track list to see what the vocal inserts are.
No wonder it sounded so familiar.
YO, 5Hello there, it’s been five years, hasn’t it?On another note, I find it intriguing that the two series I look forward to the most weekly, (Shingeki no Kyojin and Hunter x Hunter) now have antagonists that similarly feast upon human beings.
I almost expected the Titan to make the trolling Face.
Haha, i think so too :)The titan that ate Eren’s mum should have that face. Adds in a comedy element in the show.
Your forgot to mention they change the crest @ the op from Maria to Rose I like that they actually changed it accordingly now that’s attention to detail!
DAT CLIFFHANGER. OH MAN.Also, when Eren and co. met up with Hannes again, they looked extremely matured. 5 years, but even in the last couple episodes they looked different. Lol.This series is fantastic, and I think I might pick up the manga this weekend for that cliffhanger… can’t wait another week for that…
And this episode shows why Eren is misunderstood and is actually an awesome character.
Maybe not misunderstood. I wasn’t particularly fond of him for the first two episodes, but that’s definitely not true now that he has grown and matured. He is in fact awesome now, especially with that sheer amount of character development in the last scene. In this episode, Eren himself said to Hannes that he is no longer ignorant, so it makes perfect sense for him to be portrayed as strongly displeasing in some characteristics until now.
To me, Eren’s actions at that time were very much understandable. I mean, he was young back then; he was just a kid so any irrational outbursts from him at that time were justified. But I agree that right now, he is undeniably and incredibly awesome!
He has matured quite a bit – I also found him annoying in the first two eps.I think he has a ways to go though – I’m not sure he realizes how tough of a goal he’s set for himself.
Always, always, we remember the Titans.
Their going to explain where the colossal titan came from right? Looked like it was summoned out of thin air.
They will, but not until later. It’s considered a huge spoiler storyline wise, so be careful that you don’t accidentally stumble upon it via reading the comments or whatsoever. Here’s the explanation (only click on it if you want to spoil yourself):SPOILER WARNING!the colossal titan and armored titan are humans that possess the power of titan-shifting, which is why they can suddenly appear and disappear
Indeed. I have yet to understand how no one seems to notice something THAT massive approaching. So he either appears literally out of thin air or something entirely different is going on, that they have yet to explain us.
There’s obviously a cardboard box involved.
RAWR what I’ve been waiting for is finally here! YEESSS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=FLjbLbb_KVdONJenaF8bEY9w&v=2n4TBef0aws&feature=endscreen&NR=1Shingeki No Can Can, made from scenes from episode 3. Looks like the production team is saving the budget for next episode onwards. Shit is going down. Can’t wait. Loved how Sasha was framed by Mikasa.
Eh, shorter link. Ignore the previous one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n4TBef0awsShingeki No Anon is pretty amazing too. Proves that you can slap the SnK opening with anything.
I especially liked how when Eren was being all peaceful, I went “BOOM!” and mr. big titan appeared at that exact moment. XDWhy is Mikasa being so mean to Potato Girl though, She’s awesome. Who else dares to steal meat and save someone’s life by impaling their leg. 😀
When that titan appeared after the lightning…he kind of reminds me of certain superhero ;P
Looks like there may be a film in the works… Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_TitanA live action film is in production. In December 2012, it was reported that Tetsuya Nakashima has left his position as director of the live-action film. According to film distributor Toho, Nakashima had considerable creative differences on the scriptwriting and other matters.[2][7]
That’s quite interesting. Although I can whole-heartedly believe it won’t be anywhere nearly as good just because of the disadvantage of mediums.
I dont get this “Surprise, Gigant is here!” scene at the End. Nobody saw him coming? Well, he is not so easy to been overseen. Or is Eren playing Mr.Ice? That what i see in the last PicturesSo Titans, appear out of now where
i get the “Claymore” Vibes here…
Dunno, but i want to be save and put it in…1) Appear out of no where (Who is Pricillia?)2) Why they Appear at all (Who created them?) You must follow the Manga, to understand my Gist here
I think they’re definitely making that sudden appearance a point with the what you could assume to be a lightning strike of sorts. I can’t tell if you’re talking about Shingeki or Claymore strictly at this point, but if you read the manga, why are you posing the question?
Well, there is a little misunderstanding. I mean Claymore Manga. Because the Claymore Anime, dont answer my 2nd Point. Hope i cleared it now
You’ll find out later.
The whole episode I saw nothing but Mikasa and Kartoffel Fraulien
Eren was like “Bring it on you fat lump of muscle” xD
Everyone was very impressive, from Eren’s stern expression to even Sasha’s quick rescue.
FUuuuuuuuuuu… i cant wait for next week!!! the ending was intense!
If there was an episode to remember who is who, this is certainly one to remember (or at least bookmark to come back to).
Dat ending.Shit’s getting real next episode.
man, not one mention in the comments or summary about my favorite character in the entire series finally appearing. Even the screen cap cropped him out. This is not how humanities greatest warrior should be treated
I know who you’re talking about, it’s sad this character wasn’t shown in the screencaps, but he hasn’t shown what he can do yet, so it’s okay. His time will come.
He’ll get his time to shine. 🙂
I can oblige you with enough ‘screencaps’ to compensate hopefully.http://i.imgur.com/tbhP3Op.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jTYk0Nm.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kCYJ2qN.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/D80JuAa.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/0ZCbAPw.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8mC0Fbk.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/xGsadaG.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/QL6sW1D.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/LCXtdV8.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/QgRQlGg.jpg
If the wall breaks and they can’t shore it up, that would be pretty much half the population dead from starvation again. Great episode with some humor thrown in
Also Armin’s brain is wasted in the front lines, just like Eren said. He should instead be the guy looking at viruses and diseases that kill giants only, looking at dissecting giant bodies to see if there’s more weak points, making better cannons and weapons, making human ridable balloons from which they can bomb the giants, etc
Mikasa framed Potato Girl was too funny. XDDDDAT TOP 10 GRADUATION LINEUP!! >:DDAT FRIGGIN ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t been so hyped for a new episode since how long!?
You missed Marco in the list.
To clarify what I meant:Zephyr, in the list you made you forgot to add Marco.
Please do not sacrifice logic for epicness. Huge Titan appearing out of thin air with the strike of a THUNDER is just… you know.
Awesome as hell bgm when they showed initial top 10 cadets! Its like they’re the beacon of hope for mankind!
Zephyr it’s Bertholdt Fubar, not Bertolt Hoover, don’t rely on fansubs, also you can check http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com, Hoover doesn’t exist.
Crunchyroll uses Hoover, which in contrast to Fubar is at least a real/common surname. Although, considering that most of the characters have German names I personally think Huber is meant. The Japanese spelling allows all the aforementioned transcriptions.
It’s also hilarious that someone in a show like this would have the acronym FUBAR as a name
In whatever subs, I think it’s horrible subs, they call Bertholt, Bernard and Rivaille, Levy….
Surprised almost NOBODY read the manga.For those who want an answer why the giant appeared of of freakin’ nowhere.You have been warnedA human transformed into the giant
Amazingly done especially during the 3D maneuver gear scenes. However I noticed a slight drop in quality during various scenes in this episode. I hope that the next episode will make up for the drop of quality in this episode ^^
Yeah, the faces looked off when they were in the tavern and Eren told them that he didn’t want to join the police, other than that I have nothing to complain about.
There’s the lightning effect again…
Sorry if someone have already asked/written about that, but how they stood after being promoted means their ‘rank’? Like Mikasa stood as the first so she was the best, Reiner 2nd, Bertolt 3rd, Annie 4th, Eren 5th etc? I assume it from what Jean said about being worse from Eren. ( and Mikasa being a genius )And someone knows if there will be new episode next week? Because there is golden week in Japan then, so I’m afraid that some of shows could not air 🙁
Yes, they were aligned according to the rank they had gotten. From 1st to 10th.Episode 5 called “First Battle: Defense of Trost (1)” has been given a May 5 broadcasting date, so nothing to worry about.
best anime in a long time. cant wait for the huge development soon! im guessing that will be next week (hopefully)
It’s been a while, Fate/Zero namely, that I was that hooked by an anime.Shingeki has that group/friends fighting against all odds feeling that I love so much. This really feels like “Muv Luv Alternative” the anime. So whoever enjoys this anime, knows which VN he should play.
I prefer the anime’s portayal of falling off the wall. In the manga, they’re all plummeting dumbstruck until Eren shouts an order to switch to 3D movement. Here, they’re that much more believably competent.
If I were them, I would’ve been fairly dumbstruck myself. If I recall, none of the others have actually seen the Colossal Titan. Not to mention they’ve pretty much had peace for 2 (5?) years. On top of the steam (?) that pushes them off the wall, that they wouldn’t expect.But inversely, I like how the anime did it better anyway, just much more cleaner and awesome.
With the hint from episode 2 flashback (where Eren’s father was injecting something to Eren), I’m having this ominous feeling of something might happen to all of the characters…I’m not talking about death, but something extraordinary such as Eren and rest of his team becomes a “titan” to fight the titans or something?
I thought it was some kind of special medicine so that Eren can use ‘superhuman’ powers to fight the titans. I really doubt of him and rest of his teams becoming a titan.
http://images.randomc.net/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin%20-%2004%20-%2034.jpgSURPRISE BITCHES!
What i dont get is, if the Colossal Titan came from the sky why don’t it just land in the middle of the human settlement and NOT right outside of the walls and end it all? lol
Yes, let’s wait until the main cast graduates before attacking them at that exact location. – Titan Logic
You’ve got a problem with the way I think? It was more epic this way. This anime wouldn’t exist if I didn’t follow my, “titan logic”.
I haven’t been this excited about an anime since Fate/Zero. Wow what is this character development doing all over my anime I don’t usually see this here.
Seems Mikasa becoming an expert at attacking dummy Titan compared to her brother. I think there will be romance between her and other characters must be.
How the hell did that titan manage to creep up on them!?? Seriously it’s huge, and that’s a wide open field beyond that wall with a view that goes back miles concidering their vantage point on the top of said wall. These guys could do with regular checkups at their local opticians. That said, great episode, and an epic one to come after I’m sure.
Wow! They definitely know how to build up an atmosphere! Can’t wait for the next episode!By the way, anyone else being reminded of the Band of the Hawks crest when seeing the RC one? (and I mean that in a good way)
I’m upset and happy at the same time.Maybe I’m remembering it wrong, butWhere the hell is the Eren V.S.Jean fist fight?! I’m upset about that, but I’m happy at how well Annie’s Muay Thai was animated <3.The scenes with the 3D Gear were incredible too.It sucks having read the manga beforehand already because I already know what's going to happen and there's not much for me to comment on besides what's different or changed and how awesome the animation is T-TRivaille and Zoe makes their appearance <3The Lightning Bolt ruined that moment when the Colossal Titan shows up.In the manga, it just comes out of nowhere.Am I the only one that noticed Sasha had a Frau Bow moment when her mouth was watering duhuhu?
Rather than muay thai, I think Annie uses something closer to jujutsu or the like.I also preferred the Colossal Titan’s appearance out of nowhere a little more than in the anime. But perhaps if one wasn’t expecting it at all in the first place, the effect would be the same.
Looked like judo footsweeps.
Why do these idiotic manga users keep posting spoilers when nobody asks like they’re showing off their penis? OH CONGRATS YOU READ THE FUCKING MANGA. NOBODY GIVES A FUCK. Half of you fuckwads probably only started reading the manga when it the anime began airing.
I give a “fuck” and I am not the only one. As long as they post it in Spoiler tags then there isn’t a problem.Just so you know, the manga readers also enjoy watching this anime as well, and are entitled to their discussion behind Spoiler tags.
Granted that some-most of the spoilers have been out of place so I will agree with you on that.
That colossal titan popping out of nowhere had a pretty comical effect.http://i.imgur.com/p4q4j1W.jpg
More like:Heeere’s Johnny~!
I really wish people would stop putting spoilers here; spoiler tags or not. There are people who are curious about what is going to happen and don’t think when they read/click on the spoilers until after they read them. You wouldn’t want to ruin the experience for them.
Downrep the hell out of them is all that we can do, unfortunately.
Did anyone else notice that Hannes had the wrong badge on? He had the Recon Corps wings badge on. He’s supposed to be in the Garrison, not Recon Corps.
Atually, when Hannes appeared (around 18min into the episode), walking on Eren’s diretion, he WAS wearing the Garrison symbol. But then the angle changes and he’s shown from the side, and the badge changes to the Survey Cops on both Hannes’ and the other guy’s uniforms.But it’s the only time they got it wrong.If you look carefully, you’ll see that after he taps Eren’s head and his face is shown up close, the symbol on his ang his colleage’s sleeve is the Garrison’s again, and in the end of that scene the other guy is wearing the Garrison uniform again.
Geeeezz so many spoiler warnings going on around here.. just because they are asking the question doesn’t mean they really want to know the answer, it’s just more fun for us who don’t know, to guess and speculate. Anyways, totally blown away by the episode because it was awesome!! The colossal titan coming out of nowhere was the biggest troll imaginable. Eren was just talking about humanity making a comeback and this dude pops up outta nowhere like muwhahaha comeback my ass. Can’t wait for Saturday to come again!! See you guys next week :)!
Sasha got the moves!First we have the “fart” (well that was more Mikasa, but I wanted to mention it anyways), then we have the meat stealing incident http://images.randomc.net/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin%20-%2004%20-%20Large%2031.jpg (got to love that scene), and her unconventional movements for the win, Samuel might have an impaled leg, but it’s better than being dead ;POn a side note I thought Eren’s speech was something else after all he managed to convince at least 1/2 of the top scores to join the recon and I’m not counting Armin or Mikasa.
Must have astronomical dental bills- especially if they don’t floss.http://images.randomc.net/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin/Shingeki%20no%20Kyojin%20-%2004%20-%20Large%2034.jpg
These comments. You weren’t joking Zepher. Holy crap. I’d selectively take bans from those who can’t keep their mouth shut, even if they seem well intentioned. DON’T EVEN LET THEM TALK ABOUT THE MANGA IN THEIR SENTENCES.Example:Comment Guy: This is stupid, why does x happen? It makes no sense! Reply Guy: I can’t tell because it would spoil it! But I can tell you it is foreshadowing and it will vastly affect the plot! Me: Wow. Great Job.
Props to Yuki Kaji and the way he voices Eren, especially when he talks about “fu… killing the Titan bastards.” Badass. 😀
http://i.imgur.com/cHjwYRh.jpgI found this nice fanart of the crew playing some sports.Eren really has no chance against that giant, I mean he’s charging at him like a giant with armor. Lucky Mikasa is there to back him up.http://i.imgur.com/drAIps4.jpg If Potato Girl saved my life like that, I would provide her all the potatoes she wants.
Shingeki no Kyochichi? What the heck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pDKPe7BZPE
Someone had far, far too much time on their hands!I give points for creativity and entertainment!
Well, I guess they’re not having those sandwiches after all.Seriously though, humanity can’t catch a break here. This show and Gargantia are probably the two most refreshing anime series I’ve come across in a long time. This is definitely a strong spring season.
man, Eren has real a knack for pumping people up with his absurdly serious attitude towards killing titans…pretty intense feel, i like it
Please can someone who’s read the manga help me. I have a theory spinning around in my head and it’s not letting me rest. I would like to confirm it, but I don’t want to get spoiled. Could some good soul please help, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight: So, I was watching the first episode again and I noticed that the giant Titan seemed to shrink behind the wall after he destroyed it. Can he change size? The reason he looks like he’s burst out of his skin and the reason nobody seems to notice him approaching – it would make perfect sense if he was able to change from XXL to XXXXXXXL in an instant. That would explain why he wouldn’t just teleport inside of the city walls. Now why does he wait 5 years to finish the job is beyond me, Titan logic perhaps? Needs to regrow his skin?
I guess for now we can leave it at Titan logic… I give props to how they think, makes things seems much more epic. But 5 years cold turkey without food… I can barely survive 4 hours without food…
Thank you very much!! ^^
Almost crapped my pants this episode..I’m afraid that I’ll be needing a new pair NEXT episode.TOO EXCITED.
ok, I have to ask the 2 very important questions. 1: What have the giants been doing the past 5 years? and 2: who is Eren going to get with and what other matches will be made?
It’s like saying, “what have the Titans been doing the last 100 years after the wall was made”… I guess in the 5 year gap, they were doing just what they were doing back then; pacing around the foil that holds their delicious sandwich…
I was like “Wtf? Ninja titan?”That giant thing appeared out of nowhere lol!This series rocks. Best title so far for this year.
Always glad than women are equal or better than men. Feel equal, fight equal. Almost boring episode until 20:42…
No one should have a problem with that titans appearance it did the same thing in the first episode. In a flash of lightning it was there. Just reminds you of what level the titans are on the humans are never safe, the sense of despair never leaves. Didnt watch this episode but it seems like they are following the manga pretty well. Which is great because this story is f***** up. And at the end of the current issues there are so many more questions to be answered.
Just me being picky, but around 9:12 in this episode where Annie has Eren pinned to the ground and the knife at his throat, I don’t see how Eren is holding the knife back… He is holding the arm that Annie is using to support/push the knife down with but her hand that is actually holding the knife is completely free… Not quite sure about this part but I think it wouldn’t have hurt for them to at least draw in Eren’s other arm holding back her knife hand.
Just a heads up guys,
Due to personal reasons, I have asked Asobi (thanks!) to cover Shingeki 05, so the next post will likely release at a different time compared to the norm. I am currently unsure if I will return for episode 06, but will resume coverage on episode 07 at the latest.
Noooooo!!Anyway hope things work out. Waiting for your return.

Whenever i watch AoT i always think about the poem River Song recitedDemons run when a good man goes to warNight will fall and drown the sunWhen a good man goes to warFriendship dies and true love liesNight will fall and the dark will riseWhen a good man goes to warDemons run, but count the costThe battle’s won, but the child is lostThe show reminds me of Doctor Who a bit,imagined Eren as a dalek so many times XD “EXTERMINATE…..ALL THE TITANS”
The first and normally the most inexpensive form, limits the assert to for each situation for every 12 months – suitable for a person-off emergencies but not much too excellent for diabetic issues!There are several aspects that can affect the expense in the insurance plan..
