Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[Buffalobiian]

I thought he was just tired from thrashing around so much while Annie dodged them all. She herself was tired because she transformed before already and had to also regenerate from the cuts before.

As for her form, she's got good proportions. She's not centrally obese, doesn't have lanky limbs and doesn't have a stupid smile on ehr face. In fact, none of the the human titans smile like the non-human ones. Eren's "grin" (even though it's just the way his mouth curves upwards) is as close as they get.

It also just occured to me that the other three human titans lack skin (armour titan has his armour.. but it's not skin underneath, right?), while Eren's the only one who doesn't show off his muscles.

I'm thinking that Eren recognized that turning roundhouse kick as something that Annie does, and that made him pause.

Agreed. He probably recognized her moves, and realized who she was.

He's probably just not advanced enough yet.

Funny, I'd classify more skin as more evolved.
And that leads me to why they want to get Eren's secrets.

It might be that people that can transform into Titan, control that transformation and revert back to their human form are actually a few and it only occurs on a random basis.

Eren might be the first of his kind, given those powers and with a nice and physically fit Titan form.
It's not hard to understand that piercing the secrets behind Eren could help build an army.

On an another note, I remember Commander Pixis saying: "I wouldn't mind being eaten by a giant, if she has a nice ass" or something like that.
I wonder if he knew about other humans with powers like Eren's

[Inazuma]

Also, the last sceen with Mikasa. Anyone can confirm thats its not on the OST, or is if then which track ?

Thanks in advance.

Or it's just...foreshadowing. Dun dun duuuun!

[Penner]

I haven't seen any episodes of this myself, but literally everywhere i go on the internet people are posting/talking about it... is it really that good?

Read my OP for some massive hype and then enjoy some massive budget cuts in what would otherwise have been a pretty smashing show. Download the Blurays maybe?

[Kraco]

Is this a comedy series now or something? Why does everybody but the female titan suck so much? Like, how can you miss punching twice somebody you have pinned under you, against the ground?

The fights in this show are just for laughs. But at least there's Mikasa who is always nice to watch.

When watching that scene, my thoughts were:
Ok she's fast and I can't connect anything with impact. I just missed my latest punch when I'm in such a good position. Why would I tried the very same punch twice? When I could try to punch the trachea that should be impossible to miss...

But then, we have to remember Eren does not get a very high level of control. And since he's not that clever to begin with...

Nah, he wasn't a total berserk in this fight, far from it. He had time to stop and purposefully fill himself with hate (even to the point he tragically froze at the end of the fight and lost), plus he did maintain a fighting pose and used some boxing moves.

It made no sense and thus this is comedy.

What you have to remember though is...Eren sucks. And Annie is badass.

If they weren't in titan form, I could see the exact same thing happening. Him having her pinned and throwing punches at her and her STILL being able to dodge them.

Hell, not being berserk probably makes Eren fight WORSE because...Eren sucks.

[shinta|hikari]

Eren only sucks relative to Annie and some others in the top 10. He did graduate among the top after all.

Eren however is a dumb ass that always does stupid things when he is angry, so yeah, I can accept his full swing telegraphed smash being dodged twice. Even proper punches made by MMA fighters in the mount position sometimes miss. It just so happens their hands don't explode when they do.

[DarthEnderX]

They kinda would if they weren't wearing gloves.

[shinta|hikari]

At most it would be a fracture. Exploding hands that leave nothing from the wrist when hitting a mat (or even concrete) is fiction.

Eren should have elbowed Annie when he lost his hands, but then again, he is a moron.

[Kraco]

He should have hit her chest the second time if he's too lousy to hit the head. After the two idiotic misses it seemed to me he's going to bite into Annie's throat, but no, instead he thought he has all the time in the world to wait for his hands to regenerate. A first class idiot if I have ever seen one. If he was among the top ten, it's no wonder humans are losing the war, haha.

That was a pretty rape-y scene with Eren saddling Annie yelling aggressively.. naked titans and all.

[MFauli]

screw you all, i like eren.

MFauli for hot-blooded shounen heroes!

that´s what made it so hot.

erm.....

:>

That's the exploding hands of the MMA world!

I love me some hot-blooded shonen heroes.

Eren isn't a hero. He's a genocidal maniac. He's just too weak to actually be good at it.

[shinta|hikari]

I don't hate Eren though. Calling him the idiot that he is is different from hating him.

Tragically his stock has been diminishing in my eyes ever since he joined the recon troops. Although I have said it before, but it seems to me like he was castrated the moment he joined. Which isn't actually so far from the truth thanks to the fact everybody around him suspected him and accused him of being a traitor simply because of what he is and then proceeded to lecture him about the importance of doing nothing at all no matter how many people are thrown to the wolves around him. So, he turned into a quivering mass of nothingness who didn't anymore even remember a little earlier he had still been swearing to stop at nothing to slay the titans.

I really hope this incident will return him to what he once was. At the very least there will be less people around badmouthing him and holding him back - because there are literally less people remaining after this farce of an operation.
