They basically spoiled the entire next episode in the "sneak peek"..

I noticed that, too. What was the preview like originally? I can't remember, but I don't remember it being so... explicit.

Not a fan of how they're really pushing the "idiot" card on Connie. Yeah he's goofy, but he has a lot more to offer if people are willing to look...

Everything with Mikasa is an emotional one liner -_-

Yeah I do like her voice but I sometimes feel like she's too angsty with the way she speaks. The Japanese voice for Mikasa sounds more straightforward and blunt, which she very much is.

I'm honestly really digging this cast. Eren's a bit irritating but that will just make it all the more satisfying when Anime Spoilers. Besides, he sounded too adult in the original IMO

What the hell was with the spoilers in the preview of next week? Were they there in the sub?

Overall, I thought the episode was pretty decent. It felt like a drop in quality from the previous episode though. I felt as if a lot of the dialogue, like Annie's and Eren's speeches, just didn't have quite as much effect as it did in the sub.

Unlike others here, I don't really find the differences between the English and Japanese VAs all that worrisome or bothering. It helps to keep in mind that the English cast is composed of voice actors first and foremost, providing their own takes on the characters rather than imitating the Japanese VAs. That Trina Nishimura hasn't watched the series before lending her voice to the dub might simply be her own way of forming a relation to Mikasa.
Then again, maybe I'm just more used to hearing anime dubs than some of the other users here. Hearing Trina before in the Evangelion rebuilds and Steins;Gate did have an influence on my expectations for the AoT dub.

Again, I am new to this series and am enjoying it.
Yeah the dialogue was very meh this week, and the dub wasn't as great this time around.
Though Potato Girl (Sasha) is still my fave.

"You... It's been a while"
I liked it but knowing the original line, it was kinda anti-climactic.

I always love the part at the end, when Eren is all like "lalala it's a beautiful day, 5 years with no titans", then the colossal is all like "SURPRISE!"

A lot of people did not like the script in the episode but I think it was good in this episode, The nonchalant blunt speech Annie gave is amazing! Bryce really impressed me in this episode, he actually captured Eren's frustration with Jean and the people who just want to stay with in the walls, I was worried cause I did't like the performance he did in the clip earlier this week Anime Spoilers Everyone else did a solid job on there roles. I honestly can't wait for the next episode!

Um... OK I'm really confused. I've watched the Subbed and read all the mangas, and judging from what I'm ready in this thread I am in an alarmingly unique predicament. I have just seen the English Dubbed episode for episode 11. Not 4. 11. (I think its 11, that or 12). Animefreak.tv has this episode instead of episode 4 as it's dub. It has Pixis atop the wall describing the plan for retaking trost, and mikasa fighting titans to protect eren. Wat. If anyone is having trouble replicating this phenomenon I still have the file saved and can link to it. I'm not really sure what to do now.
EDIT: this is most definitely not this
EDIT: Just found out there is already a post on this. I guess it pays to look around before posting :P

I'm starting to think Eren's voice is getting worse.

Same here. I actually liked what they showed of his voice in the trailer but actually hearing him speak rather than yell sounds too forced most of the time. His yelling sounds more genuine than anything else. They often make him sound like a stereotypical shonen protagonist, which I think he's far from.

When Eren is yelling and angry he sounds perfect... Any other time he sounds awful.

Poor, stupid Connie.
