12 year olds that look like they are 20...it's like RL! Only these kids have no fucking make-up >_>
That walk was an excuse for scenery porn......I'm totally ok with it though xD I think they made a mistake in Mikasa's line about how Eren is happy that he won't be separated from her, she actually said he was happy because he COULD be separated from her now. Also....POTATO-CHAN!!!!!!!!!! |

It is explained in the quote. It seems Commie messed up a line near the end of episode 3. Mikasa: "He's thinking that now he won't have to be separated from me." But it should be the opposite of that. Mikasa: "He's thinking about how he won't have to stay close to me anymore." Edit: Seems like Randrak42 already pointed this out.

Just when I was expecting a straight adaption, was I pleasantly surprised by this episode! I guess after two intense eps, it makes sense to have a bit of comedic reliefs mixed in there, but boy didn't Potato-chan crack me up! Jean was crushed Misaka was already "taken", by Eren no less lol.

Jean is just a little bitch..........he's a 12 year old that got an instant crush on a girl but when he found out (immediately after) that the guy he has hated for a good....5 minutes had dibs on her, he LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY....
He's just a little bitch...that is all. Yea, at first I thought Mikasa was delusional too...but then I read the manga and remembered what she actually said xD |

Ep 3
Ugh, this is last time I'm watching a sub for this series from those guys again.
Anyway, episode 3 was quite good despite the overall animation drop from the first two weeks. It's not really an issue for a downtime and character driven/development episode like this one though. Most of the cast was introduced here and they all seem to have nicely distinct personalities. Sasha was definitely the show stealer this week and provided quite a bit of light comedy which is nice change of pace from the past. I also noticed the BGM much more this time around particularly during the lake scene with Eren, Reiner and the rest, which was wonderful. Overall very solid. On a sidenote: While I didn't have a problem Kaji's VA when he did a younger Eren, his older one certainly more pleasant to listen to. It's perfect IMO. |

Wow, the last horror anime I've watched and liked was Mirai Nikki but this one got me going on the manga and animation is quite dazzling.
But yeah, for 12 years old they look older. Reminds me of the illustrations of Yu-Gi-Oh where everyone seems younger and older from what they seemed. Welp.

That is seriously one of the funniest things I've heard in months. Almost as funny is, that means they were what - 9 years old before the timeskip? Surely there must have been some kind of evolutionary change in the human species to explain this?

But that still doesn't make any sense, Mikasa would be with Eren even if he didn't become a soldier. |

The line spoken in here is the exact same line she spoke in the manga, you got that backward. The correct one is Eren is in relief thinking that he won't be separated from Mikasa. Just look at the expression of the other guys when she spoke that

Eren has always been my least favorite character in the series, and I enjoy the series best when there's too much going on (usually action) to fixate on what a generic shounen male lead he is (ala Naruto, and virtually every other shounen manga male lead).
That said, I like the pacing, as I'm sure they could have really slowed things down and stretched the material out if they had wanted to (which was actually a big fear of mine initially). Looks like we do yet another time skip to a point further along in their training, and....possibly some action again. Also, loved the still-frame animation of potato girl asking Misaka for the bread, and Misaka picking it up and then eating it. The look on both their faces was priceless. Though, it's strange how the bread goes from being whole, to having a piece missing...before Misaka even puts it in her mouth.... As for the age thing, yes, I'm sure Misaka has made pedophiles out of many viewers. While I personally have no issues with Mary Sues (in fact, I rather like them, much to the chagrin of every woman I've ever dated), it is surprising how some characters get venomous responses to their Mary Sueness...and some do not. As for translation issues, I apparently watched that "other" sub, which isn't so full of themselves (considering who they are, the irony!) so as to call them something other than Titans. So, no issues there.
