Episode 8 Preview Images

Looks like lots of Marco this week!

*Boo* the spoilers dont show much of renegade-kun

I haven't looked at that, but you better delete it. You can't EVEN hint at spoilers here. Only promotional stuff.

I'm sure Boxer Titan will be in this episode in some way.

Poll had to be closed, and now 1 banned for spoiler... I say this early-thread experiment is on a rocky start! :p

Anyway, looking forward to episode 8.

I like how the preview pics chosen are the most nondescript, nonspoiler images they could possibly choose out of the episode 8 of Shingeki no Marco

Lols.. what's with the pics?

Excuse me!? Please refer to him by his actual name "Falcon PUUUUUNCH Titan", thank you very much!

But seriously, really looking forward to what will apparently be Shingeki no Marco.

I bet many people don't even know Marco exist, or just barely knew him from the last episode :heh:

But, "Boxer Titan" implies he does have the Capt's Punch, so it's a win-win for everybody!

Well he was introduced back in ep 3 and has been here and there. He hadn't had much attention since other characters were getting their focus, now it's his turn this week to get some spotlight so it's all good.

It seems that many panned stills were used to animate most transition scenes this week. There was one that was particularly long.
Still, reception was good, manga fans were satisfied in the chat.

He's here!

So, ya... just as planned.

Just watch the raws.
That was one hell of long still shot.
Many people gonna cry Deus ex machine for this episode. But renegade titan is so bad ass, I may overlook this one. I wonder if he can do that again or it is one time use ?

WTF, I expected Eren to be a Titan, not a Titan pilot...... :heh: And don't tell me all the Titans have humans inside and the nape of the neck is the 'cockpit' (w) and that's why they can kill Titans by slashing the 'cokcpits', and that's what they have been killing, 'Titan pilots' (a.k.a humans) www. Looks like Eren-kun won't be getting his automail outfits after all :heh:

Also, after thanking Jean for indirectly saving his life, Marco is marked for death now by a huge death flag.

That scene just awesome :

工ｴｴｪｪ(´д｀)ｪｪｴｴ工
I realized the giant was Eren before the end because the staff decided to put his voice (actor) in the giant's grunts, but still...
( ´ﾟдﾟ｀)ｴｰ

It's... Umm... Yeah, unexpected. Whether I like this development is a different story.
..........Mm...
Well, so apparently people can become giants! Yay! Of course there is no way the story could have been about humans vs. giants.
And we go through the typical "Oh-my-god he has so much power kill him!" development next week. （；＾ω＾）

Anyways, I really hope they don't fill in every episode from now on with that narration...
And maybe the staff needs a rest. There was one scene visualized with one still picture sliding across...

PS: Ah~ But Sasha (Kobayashi Yuu) was entertaining. Iyaiyaiya, don't apologize. :heh:

Why wouldn't it be a humans vs. giants story anymore? Still looks they're fighting Titans to me.

And no, whatever you're on about, 'having so much power' as the reason to kill him is false. It's normal for humans here to kill anything that resembles a Titan.

Great episode.. though the pan was really long.

I dont think the other ones are humans.. like only Eren knew how to fight properly.
Well shit man, they weren't going to kill him off. Hes in the ED.
