Pretty awesome. Great high quality animation and gore.

It's an interesting mix between crushing bleakness and standing up against great odds.

i have read the manga it's very good.

Looks pretty interesting. Thanks Zack. I'll have to check this out.

Watched episode 4 and damn this show is being all kinds of awesome right now. If they keep this quality for the remaining episodes this might become my #1 series.

Also, as serious as the series is... I could post so much silly stuff based on it.

yeah it's pretty out there...that's for sure.

Episode 5 is too awesome for words. I like how the writer is bold.

Anime episode 7 out Watching Titan berserker fight animated was great. Hope they don't tone down the gore too much

The Titans themselves are relatively non-gorey. It's when they meet people that there's an issue ^^

and when they meet people, things get positively bad. just started reading the series myself and caught up with the manga. awesome shit despite how many people die like every other chapter when titans are involved.

Agreed. I actually like it. You never get that "Things will go out as planned" Plot Shielded characters and shit.

I think this is my favorite manga right now.

mhm. nothing ever really does go as planned. whenever it looks that way, something always happens to **** it up like the apperance of the female titan and so on.

Shingeki no Pizza

lol, wow looks like the scouting legion really want some of that pizza.

Aw lame, they changed the opening.

^ Just watch a old video before starting a new episode!

I love the upcoming arc and sad it won't be the ending either, because its ongoing... However favorite arc due to my favorite gal!

Wow this is fvcking amazing so far. Except for Armin. I hate Shinji types of characters.

Don't worry about Armin. He won't be Shinji-mode for long.

You right. That didn't take long.

Really great game here. ****ing Titans! http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-arghfist.gif

Ohhhhhhhhhhh jeeesus. Newest episode man. God I'm still trembling. Man, that was some great stuff. Amazing series.

Its kind of scary how the anime keeps on getting better with every episode.

I don't want to read the posts here before asking; is the manga being discussed without spoiler tags here?

cos i'm only watching the anime so far

Is the anime only 25 episodes? or is this season 1? I'm on episode 21 and it feels there so much for them to do and 4 episodes will not be enough.

Uhh it's an adaptation from a manga so...
I mean it's possible that the season ends at episode 25 but surely not the entire thing.

No to manga talk please. I'm keeping myself pure for the anime.

How many issues of the manga has the anime covered so far(21 episodes)?

The anime has covered 50-55 percent of the manga so far. And of course the manga is still running.

That is already been excepted by most fans ^ and I also heard the ending the of manga will be in the movies?

Jesus Christ that was some depressing shit. http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/negativeman-55f.png

So the most recent episode is 22 yes?

Fawk the female Titan. She's so damn OP.

Yes. You all caught up? You should give some thoughts on it on your tumblr. I'd enjoy reading that.

Oh definitely. But I guess thats what makes her so hateable.

Kay. Gotta do chaps first but I see no reason not to do AoT as well.

Not really a good episode to start a review on. It was sad but par for the course as far as this series is concerned. I'm expecting sad lol.

Edit: OH ****.

I just saw a major spoiler. ****ing hell. Shit. I know who the Big Bad's gonna be. :T

Erens face at the end xD

She's like, Titan Mikasa ^^

I'm gonna call it, Annie is the Female Titan. If you've read the manga don't confirm or deny, this is just my speculation.

They're both blonde (Eren and his titan form have the same hair colour)
She knows how to use the 3DMG
But the really big reason I think it's her is because of how good she is at hand to hand combat.

Originally posted by Q99

Mikasa doesn't pull powers from her ass like the new Titan.

Granted I am now reading the manga so I kinda know the deal with some of these.

the only real "out of the ass-power" for me was the diamond skin thing.

And the ability to call other titans to help her...and the ability to accelerate her healing. And the ability to casually go through transformations.

I don't mind a powerful villain but she just keeps pulling the powers out...which is extremely off putting because the majority of the other titans are more or less very balanced.

Oh and I'm reading the manga now because a big plot point got spoiled...which now that I've caught up and seen exactly how the reveal was handled and ultimately what came of the character I am not very pleased. Sad Samson is sad.

Yeah there are assholes who think they're cool by spoiling something like that. Happened to me too.

Based on the manga though I do wonder where they're gonna stop with episode 25.

To me that just says that she has experience using the form. I kind of expected these things. But the diamond skin just came out of nowhere and they have yet to explain its limitations.

Just caught up with episode 22 and started reading the manga since I wanted to know more. What I got is questions, questions and more questions! This is an Excellent anime/manga.

Shingeki has the best female leads out there.

The anime made it a point to showcase how good she is at fighting enemies her own size, which is why I suspect her.

Not to mention the similar features. Its kind of like when Titan Eren first showed up. The Titan had a certain resemblance and almost everyone knew it was him before they confirmed it.

Not saying its Anne though. *chuckle*

Female Titan is the Mikasa of Titans.

My main question is The Female, Collosal and Armored titans could decimate all humans if they act together but why don't they and be done with it?

You're severely underestimating the humans. Levi absolutely crushes every titan in a straight up fight, Eren deals with Reiner, and Mikasa and the others deal with Colossal.

But the real answer is the Ape Titan, who for now I assume is the De Facto Leader, doesn't want them to.

Originally posted by Zack Fair

Yeah but even Reiner and Mr. Disappointing couldn't call titans to assist them like she can. And they don't seem to be doing any accelerated healing like she showed.

I just don't care for her much as a character.

Levi is a genocidal titan slayer.

The gap between Levi and his closest competition, Mikasa, is astounding. Mikasa did pretty good against the Female Titan but Levi utterly curbed it.

I'm pretty sure he could've killed her right there and then. I mean he took out the arms, the eyes and even the mouth.

Definitely. He made clear he wanted her alive.

I always thought the only reason he and Mikasa did so well was because by that point the Female Titan was running on like no energy.

She also lost when she was well rested though so whatever.

Man I hope this anime doesn't end at 25 episodes with a made up ending.

That would suck so much. But given how big the critical acclaim is I doubt that would be the case.

I think they'll end it with the defeat of Annie and the shot of a Titan within the wall.

Think they'll get a break and later continue when the manga has made more progress ala FT?

I hope the series continues. I hate when there's only one season of an anime when there's clearly meant to be more.

Certainly. The show is popular and critically acclaimed. No reason not to continue it.

Have u read the manga?

No, but if the anime gets cancelled, then I will.

I started reading the manga the moment of the biggest WTF cliffhanger when the old/white bearded titan ate Eren.

That scene was hilarious. Eren was in the top 5 of his class and sucked so hard against the titans.

But him plugging up the wall was such a well executed moment that all is forgiven.

There were already 21 episodes out when I started watching. I would've been really pissed if Eren did actually die there and then, but as soon as that titan showed up I pretty much knew it was him. My theory at the time was that titans reproduce by eating people and they somehow become titans, but Eren's will was so strong he gained some level of consciousness.

Geez Eren, not even the worst of fighters have been eaten TWICE by titans.

Oh, I want to reply to that, but there's something I'm not sure if has been revealed in the anime yet...

Do you know about how she can harden her skin yet?

They might do it like JoJo's Bizarre adventure- anime season, then a break, then when the manga's put out enough to animate again, another season.

Really the female titan being able to harden her skin wasn't really explained. It's just apparently something some titans can do.

I rewatched female titan vs everyone and I remembered your comment about F titan's faster healing not being explained. She has the ability/knowledge to prioritize her healing like she did when she concentrated on healing one eye to speed up her sight's return...so there is that.

Also wanted to add that Eren will be a fkn beast when he learns how to use all the titan abilities. His ferocity is simply unmatched and what allows him to stand up to the more experienced Titans.

This show has good cliffhangers, I'll give it that.

I am completely shocked by this revelation.

You mean Annie? Yeah they made it really obvious (I'm assuming you're being sarcastic). It even looks like the shape of the female titan's nose changed as the episodes went on to resemble Annie more and more.

I'm not sure when we were "supposed" to have figured this out but the opening of this episode pretty much gave it away.

I think the opening ruined the reveal. Next episode should be the good. Does anyone know if season 2 is a go? The anime is very faithful to the manga that it shouldn't take them long to catch up.

I think the episode was great since it seemed to assume the audience had already figured it out, so as the episode went on the tension really built as you could tell shit could go off at any moment. You're just following Annie, wondering when the pins going to drop.

It wasn't nearly as obvious in the manga.

Originally posted by Q99

Because her hair looks white in the manga. Which could be anything really until it's colored in.

The second opening has two other big spoilers too for those who have read the manga lol.

But yeah I'm almost certain the first season will end with the reveal of the titans in the wall.

Originally posted by Q99

Yeah because the art is terrible.

It was getting better at that point, but... black and white.

Yay for fighting!

Annie and Mikasa make good foils to one another.

Its ridiculous how the anime keeps getting better and better.

http://i.minus.com/ibeFbPcl2UfBcw.gif

Fvcking incredible.

I think the thing that makes the series so tense and thrilling is how vulnerable and helpless the people are sometimes. Eren cocking up when everythings riding on him is frustrating but man if it doesn't make you clench up.

it was handled really well IMO. I mean it wasn't like he was willingly holding back by going into one of these stupid trances/denial chars go. He was chomping on his hand trying to transform, but his emotions held him back. Nothing he could have done about that then...until Armin showed him up.

Mikasa had some crazy eyes in this episode huh.

She sure did. Mikasa showing her Yandere side.

This is the anime the world needed right now. Breathing some damn life back into the genre.

I hope they keep up the quality.

Too bad the next episode will be the last for a while~

<--elitist manga reader.

its for the better. If I'm not mistaken its been confirmed the anime is just on hold. My cousin is an avid manga reader, like...really hardcore. He is the one who got me into reading mangas because I was a bit douchey at first. Anyways he told me he read they confirmed the anime would continue after the manga gets more issues. If what he told me is true then all for the better. I rather they just put the anime on hold so we can keep the pace and quality of the anime strong and not just get stupid filler that will only make people eyeroll and give up on the series.

F U first bleach filler.

I can just see how the filler would be now. Some boring ass civil war where nobody important dies. No wait, they'll discover another colony of humans they'll have problems with that would never get mentioned again once the canon material resumes

Just gotta say, Yeah the Bleach filler was absolutely tragic

I can't believe the anime just dropped a critical plot point after the credits. It's like they think they're Marvel.

And yeah you have to watch until the end of the credits.

http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

Im sure thats how theyll start next season. Titan Eren was a beats in this episode. I want to see more abilities from him.

Anything on season 2?

Shingeki is not a filler-friendly series


Though, hm, you could do fillers on some scouting expedition, perhaps one during the prior years.

They could do the prequel, Before The Fall while manga goes one for a bit.

There is plenty of filler. It's just the good kind.

THAT LAST FVCKING SHOT. O_O

Intense as shit. Goddamn what a good series.

What was in the last shot?

(I'm fully manga-spoiled, you can tell me.)

The Titan in the wall. It is handled a bit differently.

People say it wasn't handled well and I agree it could have been much better but the rest of the episode was so strong and it was still a nice OH SHIT moment so I don't think it detracts from the episode.

It's weird because in the manga it is revealed right as Annie is defeated. And everyone there sees it.

Just caught up on the most recent chapter, Reiner should join a baseball team with that arm he has on him sheesh lol. Also Captain Irvin is preeeeetty badass xD.

Don't talk about manga spoilers please. Or at least put them behind spoiler tags.

He isn't but is getting a touch close lol.

Epic finale for an epic season. The hype will build up to ridiculous level. Kind of feel sorry for season 2.

you don't think it will live up to the hype?

I dunno. I don't really let hype cloud my judgement, but a lot of people can be stupid. The anime finishing so strong and having such a good run will only make people douchebags IMHO.

Alot of people are saying they're not going to wait and want to just read the manga but gonna wait. I love how tense and thrilling the anime is and don't want to ruin that.

I was gonna do that and then I saw what I thought was a massive spoiler(like the name of the Big Bad type shit) and so I read ahead. Turns out I heavily overestimated the importance of one character. Too late to turn back now I suppose.

I'm pretty sure I already know who all the human Titans are, through "vague" allusions in some places. But I don't care. Still wanna see this unfold in real time.

I'm beginning to think Eren and Annie are sibblings.

Don't ask why.

Still like the scene. Especially when Mikasa goes "**** this shit I'm ****ing up this *****"

I want to know why Annie held back on Eren every single time they fought. Sure she had orders but it does seem like her worry is heartfelt.

Just started this, looking really good so far. How close does the anime follow the manga? Started with the manga until I saw this quality.. someone tell me it doesn't skip on details and let me get to watching <.<

its pretty close...and its even better. The animation and soundtrack adds a lot.

Yeah I think ill actually give this manga a break and check out other manga waiting for the next season. The anime is just too epic for me to spoil it for myself.

Awesome anime...

Mikasa and Eren is the best ship ever.

Saturdays won't be the same.

Oh ****!

Have you guys read the latest manga chapter?

Eren can COMMAND Titans as a human somehow! Holy crap!

Yep. Epic.

Mikasa was finally about to make herself eren's waifu too. Damn Titans ruining the moment.

Didn't Annie have that ability? And it explains why he's such a high priority- Sure, a Titan Fighter is useful, but this ability is worth even more than that!

I love how Eren, the character who hates Titans the most, can boss them around apparently.

But Annie could do that too(unless she was just screaming "Your mother" in Titan talk and offended them).

Also poor Hannes. The anime will make his death sad as all get out.

Notably, the other two *can't*, which is significant.

Hmmm....

What do you think will happen to Erwin now?

Awesome anime O.o tell me another seasons coming out soon.

Someone point out what chapter I can continue in the manga from the animes end?

Yes there is. I'll have to check where you can continue from.

Hmmm just read Chapter 50 and things sure got interesting. It seems Eren has a special ability.

I like it because is unpredictable. When I first saw a picture for the anime/manga I thought the guys with the swords were badass and they were killed giants left and right. That is not the case at all. 50 chapters in and we still have no real answers and when you get an answer they dropped a few more questions on you.
