These two eps have been awesome. I was thinking how frustrating it must have been to be building to this huge opening for the battle and having production issues tank the pay off for the staff. On the other hand, I totally under stand how they could get through the last arc and be like "gently caress, we do not have enough time to hit this out of the park like we need to" and facing up to the fact they just have to split it. Did we ever get an official explanation about what happened? I feel like everyone only realized things were off when that last ep aired, and then confirming it the next week when nothing showed up.

There was that time in AoT S2 I think where an episode was delivered so close to airing some stations got an unfinished version.

It's not just the kabaneri movie, all seasons had anecdotes of things going to hell or almost doing so. Sindai's anecdote was a particularly extreme version. The ep when Eren delivers the rock to block the wall had some purple debris because they literally hadn't finished when they delivered.

The ep when Eren delivers the rock to block the wall had some purple debris because they literally hadn't finished when they delivered. That was S1. AoT S1 was their first big production, their first big hit, and their production inexperience showed. Lots of great animation talent but the connective tissue couldn't hold it together. The huge gap between S1 and S2 was enough time for WIT's weaknesses to shake out. There were a ton of improvements with S2 as well. The collapse from 2 cours to 1 cour also helped to keep the pacing brisk, Isayama seemed to have exerted more authorial control to keep the adaptation more faithful (there were a number of scenes from S1 that were unfaithful in a way fans didn't agree with), and he also gave the go-ahead to tease a number of elements from much further ahead in the manga (in moments of pure fanservice).

I have to stop myself from posting just "this show is loving great" every week. But god drat this show is loving great I thought it was uncharacteristic of Hange and Armin that they saw Reiner with most of his body intact and didn't immediately go for a double tap... wtf Also, I wonder if Hange is just dead like that? She's narrowly avoided death a few times. I couldn't ID her body in the preview, so I'm hoping she's still alive.

Oh poo poo, is it that time already? I look forward to the POV’s of people experiencing this part of the story for the first time. I actually haven’t read the manga since last July, I had a bunch of personal poo poo happen with taking care of my family, and at the time did NOT need a story as dark as this, especially since every other character has horrible parents, or their parents dying horribly (Double points for Historia!). So I’m in a weird place where this is one of the few places I can enjoy my favorite anime without fear of being spoiled.

On the one hand, you would think they'd be paranoid about ridiculous titan shifter powers being revealed out of nowhere. On the other hand "he survived having his brain exploded by shifting his mind into his nervous sustem" is exceptionally ridiculous even for titan shifters.

Yeah that's true. I guess you could say that they thought it was safe if the brain stem was destroyed. On the other hand... they were close enough to see him survive Levi cutting his head off and stabbing him through the torso though. I dunno. It's frustrating though, these bastards are like cockroaches.

Reiner always survives his close calls, just like how Levi always wins his fights, and Eren always has to get bailed.

I always read that scene as a combination of course brain death = death, but also the fact that they were so conditioned that death of a titan’s neck is the sure way to kill them. Honestly, I know the author was trying to convey that the other shifters know a lot of Titan mysteries that puts them at a deadly advantage, but Reiners non-death is really a bullshit move from a readers perspective. I haven’t read far enough yet, but I am curious if it’ll later be explained to be less bullshitty; like Mikasa and Eren being able to overpower and kill 3 adults when they were 9 because of her being an Ackerman, and Eren having some kind of a coordinate/scream power because his father stole it from the royal family and forced it on to him.

Catalina posted:like Mikasa and Eren being able to overpower and kill 3 adults when they were 9 because of her being an Ackerman This was pretty much Eren alone. Mikasa awakened her powers just in time to stab the last bandit in the back. The same kid, whom we saw getting his rear end handed by some teenagers several years later, murders two bandits like a serial killer in the retrospection. This is my least favourite moment in the entire story.

He got one by surprise in the throat, and then ambushed the other one. It's not like he rushed to take them both on at once, like he does the group of teens. It's a bit out there, but I don't think it's super crazy in the grand scheme of things

It's a bit out there, but I don't think it's super crazy in the grand scheme of things It pretty much counters not only what we know about 9 years old kids, but also what the author establishes about Eren. He's not a good fighter. Even if he wins, it's mostly because of his rage and perseverance. Until his first fight with Reiner, his entire tactics is screaming and trying to punch and kick the enemy to death; he tries this several times before he realizes it's not going to work with the Armored Titan. He constantly has to be bailed out because of the habit of rushing blindly to the fight, taking too much at once and getting his rear end handed to him. Except for this one particular scene, where he manages to outsmart three hardened criminals despite being a child who never fought anyone before

Arc 1 (Battle of Trost - Season 1): 2% Arc 2 (Female Titan - Season 1): 2% Arc 3 (Clash of Titans - Season 2): 5% Arc 4 (Uprising - Season 3 Part 1): 5% Arc 5 (Return to Shiganshina - Current): 41% Arc 6 (Next one - leaving it unnamed due to minor spoilers): 45% So basically, the anime is just now getting into the best parts of the story. It's going to be incredible.

Alan_Shore posted:Why is that? I haven't read the manga. No spoilers! There’s no way in hell I would spoil anything for anyone at this point, especially people who have waited six years to get to this arc. I promise! One of my favorite things about Attack on Titan is how planned the story is from the beginning, and how the scenes can be read differently after every arc. For instance, in the opening episode, on the first reading, you see Colossal Titan and Armored Titan knocking down the wall and committing mass murder. After the Battle of Trost Arc, you know that they were most likely human controlled shifters. After the clash of the titans arc, if you see or think of that scene, it’s like, “holy poo poo that was Reiner and Bertholdt” and are left with a lot of lingering questions. This arc is exciting and amazing, and it’s fun to see people see it for the first time, and it’s also fun to see people put together theories and try to guess what’s going on. But most of all, to see people notice things that are part of a larger picture later.
