Eren...are you okay? S-stop it Eren. This wasn't supposed to happen, Eren. Stop it. I get you hate Titans, but you don't need to be so...

Anyhoo, not a lot happened. spoiler[ Most of it was planning (reminds me of a NERV operation), and the scouts going bugf***k insane and suicidal. Maybe I was expecting something different, but that's just me. It's not...BAD persay, but after a whole bunch of action-y episodes, getting hit with one dedicated to the Trost campaign was kind of whiplash-y.

Mikasa is still awesome, Josh Grelle as Armin is still fan-effing-tastic, and there's a whole lot of emotion overall. Dot Pixis is also really cool, and I'd happily become a Scout if he were my leader. He'd write wonderful motivation speeches.

Next time, a lot of people die! Maybe...don't kill anyone I like...]


[EDIT: You missed the opening spoiler tag. And I didn't wanna' read your whole post in fear of being spoiled, so I just put the open tag towards the top of the first paragraph to be safe. -TK]

On this episode of Attack on Titan, Mikasa was awesome, Jean angsted, everybody panicked, and Armin did some pretty badass stuff.

And now onto spoilers, because this is a late entry, and the next episode is the finale of the Battle of Trost arc.

spoiler[So, we had a berserk EVA 01 thing going on at the beginning of this episode. Now I can't get the image of Eren dressed in Shinji's EVA pilot uniform.

What was up with that dream Eren was having while he was out? Let's see...he was with his family, his mom's alive, and Mikasa's there. So...he's stuck in a time between Mikasa's being orphaned, and the destruction of Wall Maria. Is it like getting Tanged?

Also, Armin reminding his friend about going to see the outside world and being free of the walls was very awesome indeed. Go Armin!

And...that's it. No notable Titans, no notable deaths, just that. And that's fine. Next episode will be awesomeness and death.]


Those are my thoughts! See you next week for the end of the Battle of Trost arc!

^ Alas, indeed. Poor Jean. I wouldn't imagine what it would be like to stumble upon spoiler[your best friend's corpse], thinking that everything was going to be alright.

Anyway, I finally caught up with the first part of the show. Eren was pretty awesome in this episode. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that humanity was awesome throughout this episode. I freaking love this anime's viewpoint on humanity. Sure, we humans are flawed and start fights and act like a-holes in general. Still, our world is worth saving, and we need to get our act together because we're awesome and we can do it.

Also, IT'S LEVI. We're getting into Levi in the second half! Yay! Can't wait to finish Season One. Right now, however it's more important for me to finish EVA. Gotta watch all the essential anime!

^ I haven't!

And yes, Hange and Levi are pure, unadulterated awesome. Hange is hilarious and reminds me of Dr. Franken Stein on antidepressants. Levi, of course, is awesome and seems to know what's going on more than anybody. I like these two. And Mikasa and Armin and Sasha and DOT FREAKING PIXIS, don't forget them.

Spoiler time!

spoiler[Wow, that beat-down from Levi must have really hurt. Sheesh. Good thing Eren can heal.

Eren himself was very sympathetic throughout the whole ordeal. From the crazy cultists to the military police, everyone's afraid of him. For good reason, but that's beside the point.

Hange is really, really funny. That is all.

Also, from what I got from the (just as epic) second opening, there are more EVA pilots, I mean, Titan-Shifters. Sorry about that.]


And that's all for now! Can't wait for the next episode!

Hange is indeed awesome (and her VA seems like a lot of fun), but I wish she would lend some of her antidepressants/uppers/whatever she's on to Levi, who comes across as a grumpy jerk most of the time (and yet is beloved and embraced by fans). Actually, maybe I wouldn't have that much of a problem with him if the majority fan reaction to him weren't opposite my reaction to him.

Thanks for transcribing tweets, Panzer Vor. I love watching the show "live" on tv so I can read what people are tweeting about it, but I don't always get to do that, so I enjoy reading your tweet recaps. I'd love it if you added popular/trending/particularly funny tweets by people who don't work on the show to your list (I guess that'd be a whole lot of work, though).

Jessica Calvello is right. The second half of the series might as well be the Hange Show, because Hange steals most of the scenes she's in.

I'm finally caught up, and let me say the following:

HANGE IS AWESOME.

God, I love Hange. It's pretty clear that Jessica Calvello is having too much fun playing this role. Hange is so funny and so insane, and I adore characters like her. She reminds me of what Edward from Cowboy Bebop would have been like if she'd been raised in this world.

Anyway, god was this episode funny. From Oluo biting his tongue to Levi's shortness and cleaning obsession, to getting pure, undiluted Hange in the second half, and couldn't stop laughing. Coincidentally, the new episode of Space Dandy I was afterwards was also pretty hilarious. Overall, I felt much better off. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough focus on the other scouts. But still, there was Hange. So I'm satisfied.

Looks like we've got another mystery on our hands. Who killed spoiler[Sawyer and Bean]? And yes, those two were, in fact, named after an actual head of a family of cannibals. Could this be evidence that spoiler[this is set in the far future of our world]? Or is it a coincidence?

On this episode of Attack on Titan, we spent time with Eren's buddies as they make the decision to join him and the Scouts. Jean mourns his friend, Mikasa is a dutiful bodyguard, and Connie and Sasha panic.

My favorite scenes in this episode were the ones with Jean Kirchstein in them. Damn, Mike McFarland can act, especially during the cremation scene and the recruitment scene. Everyone, really, was at their top form this episode. Good stuff. I don't have much more to say because my God I am so tired, so I'll see you soon.

Next time, a Female Titan appears! She uses Titan powers! It's very effective!
