solidbatman Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just watched episode 5. My expectations continue to get shattered... the show keeps soaring past them. Especially this episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welp, Eren is dead. Show is over. It's been fun really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just some random thing I remembered... but during one of the episodes (don't remember which one), one of the sound-effects they played over was the same one that was used in Katawa Shoujo (If I remember correctly). It was used during KS when they were out on the streets or something (I only remember it cause there was a distinct voice that says "not bad" and the general ambient is around the same.) Would be pretty cool if someone could find the exact clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendjin Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welp, Eren is dead. Show is over. It's been fun really :D/>/>/>/> Episode 5 Spoiler: I assume this is when we finally see what was in that shot his father gave him :D/> Though I do worry episode 6 will just be a back story one, so I'll be waiting at least two weeks to find out :(/> Can people mark what their spoiler is as well, I;m all for anime discussion, but I don't want to know anything infront of that.

solidbatman Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Can people mark what their spoiler is as well, I;m all for anime discussion, but I don't want to know anything infront of that. Yes. Make sure everybody, that if you are going to discuss specific plot points, or even speculation, that you place that text in spoiler tags. I can't always get to them fast enough to tag them, so I need everyone to do it. If you have any doubts, then tag it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipsezero Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes.

I can't always get to them fast enough to tag them, so I need everyone to do it. If you have any doubts, then tag it. Wait, are we talking about manga plot points or anime ones here? I thought since this was for discussing the anime and all, it would be fine to not use spoilers :V Should I perhaps modify the rules in the OP, assuming everyone else feels the same?

V: I'd ask 2 things... 1) Can we avoid manga spoilers, if some does want to put a manga spoiler can they mark as Manga Spoiler in a spoiler, that's acceptable.

solidbatman Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Tag anything that is a spoiler or relates to the plot in general please. Not everyone is on the same episode. General thoughts or feelings don't need to be tagged, but any sort of plot point should be tagged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipsezero Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 So I caved in and started reading the manga... Won't spoil anything, I will just say that shit hits the goddamn fan. EDIT: Also, modified OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Dammit now I know there is action!! Spoiled now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipsezero Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Dammit now I know there is action!! Spoiled now :(/> I actually can't tell if you are serious or not, because there's nothing spoilerific about what I said, at all :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Haha I am not. Course it's gonna have action. Thanks for keeping it spoiler free. At this rate I might end up reading the manga. I assume this is a 12 episode run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Haha I am not. Course it's gonna have action. Thanks for keeping it spoiler free. At this rate I might end up reading the manga. I assume this is a 12 episode run? No way. It's really popular, not only in the west. It's announced as a 2-cour series, and I'd bet it'll get a second season some day. It's popular enough that they actually started recruiting even more animators to keep up with the quality of the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipsezero Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Also, there's supposed to be that live-action movie coming out, have there been any news on that front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Wow I thought with the timeskip. It would be shorter. I'm glad it's longer. Hmm do I read the manga. I feel a lot of the appeal is the unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Despite how much I'd like to know what happens next, I think i'm going to stick with the anime. Sawano music and glorious IG animation should make the experience even better. But O how much I'd like to know what happens next. I'm having mixed feelings about what happens in episode 5, and I can't decide whether I like it or not if I don't know where the story is going next.

Redgrave Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If anybody started to read the manga, it's pretty hard to stop. That's what happens to me. Next episode is probably about Mikasa's flashback(People can finally stfu why she is clingy to Eren) and then next episode probably the stuff that's gonna make people mixed.

Forythos Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I finaly caught up with this show. Wow, it really lives up to the hype! I just watched all 5 episodes in a row and was hooked all the way. <3 Mikasa. Also, she's pretty cute with short hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solidbatman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm with Down a bit in that I'm really concerned on where the story is going to go next. In other words, the situation thats been created, how is it going to be resolved? Heavy spoiler below. My main worry is that Eren is going to be brought back in a really stupid way and we get some deus ex machina bull crap explanation until the end.

I forgot if I reply to your post it undoes the spoiler tag, fortunately it wasn't anything I didn't know All I'll say on it (haven't read manga), I don't think: Eren will be gone for more than 1 or 2 episodes. We've seen he got an injection and I have to wonder if its got some sort of titan regeneration in it, which would explain why we only see him lose his arm and leg and other than one guy, no one has DIED yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue with him being gone is, do we really think Armin is up to the task. The only other option than Eren coming back is, that Armin suddenly becomes a badass, which is possible, but I feel if that was the plan, Eren would have died as a kid, timeskip with an older Armin, tough and full of hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
