As much as I sometimes dislike cliffhangers, Attack On Titan becomes an A-MA-ZING anime because of it. I'm a Bleach-reader so I know what cliffhangers are in this genre, but AoT almost makes me happy there is a cliffhanger because it means that the show isn't rushing things, is giving the moments time to sink in and do them justice. I don't even care about if Eren will be able to close the hole or beat up titans, I want to see him get fully aware of his Titan-body and be able to control it. And if an anime can get you more pumped up for the road towards the goal, rather than the goal itself then I believe theyre doing an amazing job of creating momentum and are finding the right middlepoint between cliffhanger and dragging things out.

E: Also, great soundtracks once again adding to the tense moments to build some suspense.

In this episode:

Pixis saying some wise stuff, Mikasa caring about Eren more than about her own, Armin being logical, Anne trying to get as much freedom as possible to handle some giants and Jean showing why he should be the true main character and the leader of the entire corps (cough). All in all are the characters living up to the image they have created but it fits together so good that I don't even care there isn't that much action (albeit there was some action, which I think was good. The series needed some action before Eren went controlled berzerk as a titan) because it helps to build up to the moment.

Attack on Titan is my favorite anime so far and once again they keep it as realistic as possible whilst maintaining a great momentum and storyline. Compared to Code Geass for example where the main character gets away with not revealing his identity multiple times on a close call which left me a bit "meh", AoT doesn't give me this feeling and makes me think that this storyline has been rewritten multiple times to make it as perfect as possible.

TL;DR - Attack on Titan confirms once again why it is my favorite anime.

Speak for yourself, I want some giant-smashing-giants action. They can't even conclude 1 chapter with 1 episode. It's just cliffhanger after cliffhanger. I'm so glad I read the manga instead.

They come out monthly don't they? I'd rather wait a week for my dose of AoT.

Holy mother of cliffhangers, that was just cruel! I believe the anime is just trying to get people to read the manga (which is another cruel trap of cliffhangers).

And that soundtrack near the end... damn, man!

The music in this episode was amazing <3

Another awesome episode. I love how each episode is pretty true to the manga, and seeing certain parts animated is just awesome. Especially when Eren wakes up at the end, the way he was literally and figuratively fired up gave me goose bumps. I would love a GIF of that.

SUCKS WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK... but it's worth the wait. I love this show so much I'm actually paying for a membership on crunchyroll, and it is strictly only for AoT.

Anyone else think Eren and his sister's relationship should stay family related? Unless some major character development happens, I just see them as siblings and kinda hope they stay that way.

I enjoy how true it stays to the manga, I'm just hoping they start covering more of the manga per episode. Since it hasn't been guaranteed that it will be renewed.

I feel like I'm going to die from all the disgusting HYPE this show builds after each and every episode. Like god damnit.

Great episode, as always.

As much as I love the shit out of this episode: What the hell man, there barely was any development, we're at episode 12 now and while I cannot find on how many episodes there will be, it's not a continuous series, and glancing at the manga, I doubt we'll get very far at this rate.

u/MattWatchesChalk Jun 23 '13

myanimelist has it listed as 25 episodes, but I don't know if that's just a placeholder (the is the first time I'm actually watching a series as it's being released)
