[Anime]Shingeki no Kyojin/ Attack on Titan

Duuuuuuude... the beginning of the episode: 'ok they're gonna do some maneuver battle and the commander is talking' but then when the Female Titan came back I was like 'are you fucking serious?!' Then the epic teamwork of Levi's squad.... aaaaaaand everyone dies. I was so furious! Even Petra?!

Then Titan fight happened and I went apeshit. It was so well animated, I didn't even care or hit pause to examine frames or none of that shit. It was pretty intense. The soundtrack helped TONS!

...and then Eren, I was like 'not again!!' And then Mikasa, awgad, all nine hells of yandere fury within minutes. Fuck! Ep. 22 can't come soon enough.

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FUCKING INSANE.

THAT IS ALL.

Pretty fucking intense fight, been waiting for Eren to transform already like he should have a couple eps ago, but in the end he still got his ass kicked. I'm still wondering if that is Ice skin that the female titan creates or is it diamond?

The plan wasn't to escape the Female Titan. It was to capture her Alive.

Also, zigzagging wouldn't help since the trees are not only large and thick, they also have huge gaps between each giant tree, meaning zigzagging will only consume speed and agility due to not only dodging the titan, but also the giant forest itself.

I'll have to reread the manga to see if Levy knew what the plan was, but all I know is that he has complete faith and trust in Irwin Smith's decisions

I was referring to the newest episode where they first try to escape from her. The background to the chase proves that you are wrong. The gap is small enough to be of hinders to the female titan. Besides when they try to move forward the sway to the side (like spiderman) so it might be possible that it's easier than you think to maneuver the tall trees. And wouldn't the female titan slow down even more? It takes more time for the titan to reach max speed than the maneuver machinery they posses.

Also the name "Attack on Titan" suggest that "Titan" does not refer to titans but rather a material. Maybe titan is what titans are made of?

Wait wait wait wait wait, are we talking about before the female titan was captured, or after she escaped and went after Levi's Squad?

Action-packed episode! Though, I am pretty sad that Petra died.(WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)

I don't read the manga but this seems to be going in a direction that may be intriguing but is something I didn't quite want. The idea that the Female Titan is being controlled by a spy and being ordered to retrieve Eren suggests that there is someone else controlling the Titans. My guess is that it will be some human who, for some reason, decided to destroy all mankind. Very common in anime and, in my opinion, it would pretty much crush the idea I initially had of the show which was one that resembled an epic tale - Man losing a continuous struggle and finding false happiness in their close quarters until a normal man comes along and decides he wants to fight back, regardless of the odds, thus becoming a hero.

I liked the anime simply because of that but this Titan Master idea and Eren being able to transform are turning this into plain anime. The destiny of the World in the hands of a kid with a ridiculously exaggerated power, fighting in epic wars? Where have we seen that before? Aside from everywhere, that is.

Holy fuck Levi is a fucking monster, that short little fight with the female titan was intense. He was going so fast he turned into a little bladed sonic the hedgehog crawling up her arm.



And also this scene



I could feel the emotional tension when it flipped to Levi's face after this.

Oh man, so much feels in this episode. That part where Petra's father came while talking to Levi with joy almost got me crying.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN!!! SUICIDE CHARGE BY THE SCOUTING LEGION, IRWIN LOSING HIS ARM, ARMIN MANIPULATING BERTHOLD PSYCHOLOGICALLY, EREN AND HISTORIA BEING RESCUED, TITANS FLYING AROUND

and most of all...

The bastard Titan that ate Eren and Mikasa's mother reappears.... FUUUUUUCK, WTF!?!?!?!?!?!? I'M LOSING MY MIND HERE, I NEED THAT REMOTE FROM CLICK SO I COULD ADVANCE TO NEXT MONTH JUST TO SEE THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!

That fight between the Female Titan and Levi/Mikasa was... wow. Did justice for the manga.

Also, them feels. I read the manga ver. and could feel the disappointment and despair of the Recon Corps, and Eren finally understanding what it feels. For all of that hope the people and the next generation are putting on them and just failing them almost every single time they take a step out of those walls only to return almost everytime, defeated... and this is just from reading it.

When I saw the episode... damn... the music and voice acting just took it to another level.

My feels were just all over me.

Man, this episode really showed how badass Levi is, and even with a sprained ankle, he still damaged the Female titan enough to rescue Eren.

Though the rest of the episode is filler, it was pretty heart wrenching when they had to abandon their fallen comrades corpses to escape, then had to face the villagers upon their return. The fact that Petra's father saying she wanted to marry Levi struck me the most.
