Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[GG] Shingeki no kyojin -12

Dude was just tired huh? Well whatever. At least there was some action to fill in. Real shit's next week.

The "no attack under rain" sounds interesting considering the extreme body heat of the titans ... but it´s too stupid to be relevant, when you think about it some more. "Signs" anyone?

This isn't even remotely on topic but I'd just like to point out that the aliens' weakness to water is because they aren't aliens, they're demons, and they're vulnerable to blessed/holy water, not just any water. People really, deeply misinterpret "Signs".

Or you're just reading more into it than is actually there.

Yeah, the stuff that isn't there, like the fact that the entire arc of the film is about rediscovering faith, the power of belief, the main character is a priest, etc. Surely all just giant coincidences.

Rain or night were not mentioned. Titans attacking from the South was mentionned though.
I was just trying to sort "energy" details.
Rain would probably lower the energy levels too much in these huge bodies, and it might be they need a minimal temperature to operate.
I also wonder if they attack on winters, if they have cold winters over there.

Not like it matters a lot.

Regarding this week's ep, well it was stalling quite a bit. Eren being too tired to operate the titan seemed to be the right call, so now he needs his second breath and just got out of his peaceful dream, beware of endorphins I guess?

Eren's willpower is too low, which means his hatred of titans isn't genuine. I don't know if that makes him a sad case or not. It's not good to live for hatred, but what else has he got? Except for Mikasa, but he hardly looks at her.

Which makes him stupid, lacking testosterone, or both.

[KrayZ33]

he has known her for more than just a few month or even years... not to mention that he sees her as his sister since they grew up as that.
I can understand why he isn't head over heels for her

[shinta|hikari]

Mikasa blushing was the best part of this needlessly extended uneventful episode. The gradually extending recap at the start of each episode is becoming way too annoying now.

Mikasa needs to clearly show (i.e. raep) Eren that she looks at him as a romantic interest and not family. Problem is, even she is denying her blatant feelings to other people, like she did in the episode.

Fuck, LIFT THE DAMN BOULDER ALREADY

[MFauli]

Fuck, LIFT THE DAMN BOULDER ALREADY

That boulder won´t be lifted, unless Eren turns into a 50 m-Titan.

[Buffalobiian]

I'm thinking in the back of my mind about whether Armin needs to improvise some sort of transport mechanism to help Eren (like a lever or something), but that would mean Eren has to be smart enough to use it - and that I'm not confident in.

[Kraco]

Yeah, he might not be smart enough even in his normal human form, let alone in the compromised titan form.

I think the problem is LITERALLY that he's just fucking tired.

He hasn't rested since his first rampage and it's taking it's toll on him. It's why all his subsequent attempts have sucked.

If M. Night was a better writer, I might be more inclined to believe that stuff is all intentional.

[lelouch]

If M. Night was a better writer

Yes, and if Helen Keller could do nuclear physics.

Especially after the "Last Airbender" and "After Earth" debacles, M. Night would be lucky to get a gig directing traffic.

If Armin keeps stabbing him, maybe he can drive the Eren-Titan?

Hahaha OMG that made my day!

[Belial]

Last 3 episodes were kind of slow, and now we get a recap episode... such BS, why not just make it a 20 episode show if you want to stop at a certain point and don't have enough material, why ruin a good thing with bad pacing

Stab right arm - go right
Stab left arm - go left
Hit back with hilt - stop
stab back - go forward
twist the sword - rotate
