I can't wait for the next episode both because it will stop this kinda played out discussion, and I don't think I would be lying if I said this coming episode is the one I have looked forward to the most. :unsmigghh:


e: Nevermind, even a little hint is too big of a spoiler.

Yeah I figured even half the post that was originally there was too spoilery, so instead I just said "SO HYPED" in longer words. :v:

Going laugh if they pace the Anime in such a way as to not get to the events we think they will in Episode 7.

Suddenly, Foxy appears and challenges Armin to a boxing match.

Armin has a mental breakdown and curls into a gibbering fetal position mess.

Foxy wins!! He takes the upper half of that guy people spent a page and a half discussing as his new crew member!

Also a few scenes of the talking/non-action moments are beautifully redrawn from a different angle.

The badges also change per episode.

(I loved Endless Eight :colbert: )

No no wait I got it.

Eight episodes.

Eight backstories.

Mikasa is one so we just need seven more characters to suddenly have an episode devoted to their backstory.

The only problem with that is that Armin isn't in the top 10, and you know he'd get an episode.

Then even better: backstory on the top 10 and all the major characters. That's got to beat least 12 episodes right?

That's only 11, but we can make it 12 if we give Hannes' backstory.

What the gently caress's the point of censoring the word and still having the annotations spell it out, uncensored?

I really love how the show is sparing no expense at showing you just how much Eren hates the Titans. I honestly expected the anime to downplay it a little bit, but if anything it's playing it up. When your sole desire in life revolves around the genocide of a species, it's pretty damned impressive that you manage to inspire your friends to join your cause. He's like a Captain Ahab that everyone agrees with, and it's lovely. :allears:

I find this hilarious in hindsight, considering how Eren's leg was bitten off before he was swallowed whole.

It's pretty common to have younger guys voiced by women VAs, I wouldn't read too much into it.

Marina does a good boy voice so I find nothing wrong with it.

Why did you even pick that picture. The image doesn't have anything to do with the anime and it's not hard to find a less provocative picture of her.

Yeah, and make sure the next picture you post doesn't have her ankles showing or something, you degenerate!
