Animation: 2/5
The animation for the entire episodes was poorly drawn, it was very obvious.
Also there's a lot of still frame. Also whoever draw Annie deserve a sack...it was poorly drawn as well.
Animation quality was back to Episode 1 level when the colossal Titan appears.

Music: 4/5
Great but pale in comparison to Episode 1 to 3

Overall: 7/10
Can't wait for Episode 5....EPIC starts from Episode 5 but very worried on the animation quality given what i see in Episode 4.

Highlight of Episode 4:
Sasha aka Potato Girl running down the wall / Eren confronting the colossal Titan at the end

Spoiler for Mikasa feeding Potato Girl Bread:

Spoiler for Scouting Legion:

Spoiler for Eren vs Titan:

[duckroll]

The animation is way better this week than it was last week honestly. It's actually on model most of the time. Maybe you just don't like how Annie looks in the anime?

I hope people LOOOOOOVED that crappy song from ep3, because you're going to get another song this week! :P

Overall I liked the episode a lot, especially at the end. But boy, the lipstick on the girls are getting really distracting. Ruins all the close-ups.

Spoiler for Episode 4:

4 episodes in and I'm still not convinced on where to keep watching this. However, the animation still looks superb so far, and while the previous episode still revolves around training and main characters' potential character growth, I was actually surprised that the second a Titan appears, it seems s**t gets real to me. There is some action scenes that looks like they were taken from PV, Sasha looks awesome with her own food antics, I like how the girls' lipsticks still make them beautiful, it was pretty realistic to me. There's probably a rival behind Eren, I don't care how retarted the technology looks, I'm just here to watch pure entertainment in this anime!

[serenade_beta]

(´・ω・｀) The art quality...

Images

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I almost thought they had another time skip because they looked different, but in the other scenes, it doesn't seem there was one.
There wasn't, right?

And that weird song that plays occasionally... Reminds me of that robot anime with BETAs, in a bad meaning.


And the big giant is just so full of mysteries, I'm not sure how to react. I mean, he just... appears all of a sudden. Why now of all times? Just because the development wants him to? Or is there a deeper(?) meaning? I'd say the giant exists just to ruin Eren's hopes, but it's not like Eren was that hopeful the first time he appeared.

Oh, and Hiroshi was alive?

[desrtsku]

Being Jean is suffering ...
And the real deal starts next episode. Next week can't come sooner, I want moar spiderman sakuga!

Spoiler for it's him!:

It's Levi!! Yes Levi!! Levi!! Levi!!

@MisaoFan don't worry, you'll find a good reason to stick with this next ep.

[Fenrir_valindri]

I think they should have stuck with the training part a bit more before rushing back into the action at the end of the episode.

[takai]

Getting better.

[serenade_beta]

Wonder why that roasted titan doesn't just teleport inside the buildings instead of teleporting outside and going through the trouble to break in
Or just teleport over and over again and trample everything he teleports on.

[SagaraSouske]

I don't think that titan teleport. My guess is that he transform into that from a regular size giant.

You know...I'm picturing this and I can't stop laughing for some reason.

It would be funnier and less scrary if it does it everytime ... >.> ... <.< ...
Hahem, seriously, it's to early to conclude those kind of things. Better wait for a few more episodes before speculating about this.

[backbone]

Woah, their effort to recruit more animators actually bear fruit. The animation in this eps was incredibly awesome and much better than the previous ep.

Oh, and the training ended in this ep? Finally we're going to get the real action

[jeroz]

Brace yourself
The eclipse is coming

but yes there are several visual errors in this episode. Hopefully they will fix it in the BD

[Randrak42]

I don't think that animators recruited recently had a hand in this episode xD

[LeoXiao]

Holy shit dat ending.

Why does Eren remind me of Hitler for some reason?

[Excorsism]

I'm really enjoying how they end the episodes. Episode 3 was good and now episode 4. Ramp up the hype traaaain. Also, we got to see Levy animated, can't wait when we get to him in who knows how long.

Wow........never heard that one O.O

[Xion Valkyrie]

Oh man, I bet people thought the episode would end right when Eren said it's time for man kind's counterattack huh?

[Bombo]

Time to eat all humans !!!! NOM NOM NOM .
Sasha chan so cool with shooting his legs to stop falling without hesitation.
