Why would you guys even search for "Colossal Titan" on Google?

We still dont know much. The manga is at a point where we SHOULD find out some cool stuff soon but I wouldn't be surprised if the author continues to stretch it out due to the enormous popularity of the series.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. That's the fate of just about every manga that gets a popular anime adaption.

Taken from the OP
Please read the OP, peoples
That was a good one as well.
My two favorite tracks though I don't think they have names yet, are the last track at the end of episode 8 where Mikasa is crying over Eren and at episode 16 where the new recruits get their Survery Corps uniforms.
I have to wait till mid October to hear any of those tracks. That's when the second OST comes out.
Though the one that always tugs at the heart strings will always be "Call Your Name".

You just don't understand his character. Eren really hates titans
Don't hate Eren, he was right all along. Hate the people who thought too highly of themselves and gave him bad advice from a position of authority.
And hate Levi for not being able to keep his mouth shut.

They told him to back off, he wanted to fight.
Must have been watching a different iteration of the anime. Where his squad leaders tell him to go ahead and refuse to believe in them and fight the Female Titan in his Titan form.
Wtf it's like people go brain dead when they enter this thread. It's not that difficult a rule; Spoiler tag current episode specifics. Proelite even edited his post... But not to add spoiler tags, smh.
Ep 21 Spoilers
Well, when you think about it... their job was to protect Eren. Looks to me like even if Eren had turned earlier, the titan would have curbstomped him. They've also shown that he doesn't have complete control, so I doubt a cooperative attempt (Titan + Levi Squad) would have worked.
The crystallization thing is hax anyways. How can they beat that with their current equipment?

Those descriptions would actually be two sentences.
Last episode: they capture female titan, it calls other titans to eat it, escapes and kills one person in Squad Levi.
That's a complaint I've been talking about with my cousin. As soon as he heard from me that the series wouldn't even finish by the end of this season, he quit watching it.
Personally, I still like it... but then again, I like Detective Conan, one of the ultimate anime series when it comes to content padding.
The deaths meant something because the so-called "slow" eps actually built up the characters.
I dunno what you mean. They keep learning little by little about the Titans which is what I gather was the whole point of this current arc. Eren was also learning about being in the Survey Corps. You can always pick and choose the action moments but they do have plenty of dialogue that keeps the plot going. I assume you just want the bigger picture to be revealed more.

He's the most iconic design in the series. A lot of people would probably do an image search for him
Well, he said he wasn't going to look back and have faith - in which case it would have made sense if he gave them the benefit of the doubt and kept going only to find out later they failed, but despite his internal monologue he seemed to just stop and watched them all die one by one. I mean come on, it became pretty apparent it was going tits ups early on, he should have transformed sooner!
But sure, the first time it made sense.
he's definitely the mascot for the show.

Crunchyroll and Funimation.
Finally saw ep 21. God damn.
Yeah, and now they're only just beginning to learn the true nature of the all the attacks they've suffered for the last five years.
Oh, and whoever said re-watching episodes makes it painfully obvious who the titans are is spot on. Even watching the last few episodes again knowing what you know now will probably let you guess. And I didn't fucking realize it, but there's a part of the show that fucking straight-up tells you if you're paying attention.

i haven't rewatched the eps but i already figured out who it is from the designs alone. too obvious.
Colossal Titan's identity isn't so obvious in my opinion unless you go back and rewatch earlier episodes.
Basically, none of them ever had a god damn chance. The operation was doomed from the drawing board. Erwin put it best when he said they'd been approaching their operations all wrong the whole time and had severely misjudged their enemy. This has been true since episode 1.
Also crystallization thing becomes much more important in the story later on, but I'm not sure if this season of the anime will get to it.

Crunchyroll.com. Just pony up $7 and watch it on your TV in HD. Best way to experience it.
as soon as they said someone saw him transform, i was like "ok, that's who it is." my only question is how all of this will be resolved.

My blood hasn't boiled with this much shonen rage since Gurren Lagann.
Eren should have just shut the fuck up for a while and smashed the titan with his head or something. That was embarrassing.
The Survey Corps guilt-tripped Eren, it's not his fault. Of course people don't care and are all like "LOL he should've transformed, dumb Eren!" just to see some Titan action but you're not putting yourself in his position, where his power is risky and the Corps constantly telling him to trust them. Of course
The Titan scene had more impact
.
In the future, Eren will likely transform more often. Like Erwin said they have to take risks if they want to win.
that all went bust since they overestimated themselves, but the Survey Corps are a top-tier squad, Eren couldn't have predicted with certainty that they'd get rocked so badly.
The Titan scene had more impact
once they all died anyway

Honestly,
I was SCREAMING over the most recent episode. I was not expecting the female titan to be able to focus her regeneration on only 1 eye. I was so hopeful the squad was going to take her out. Petra's death struck me the hardest. She knew. In that moment, when they realized their error, her face read nothing but pure tragedy because she knew she was about to die...That this was the end. Her death brought tears to my eyes. She was so infuriated and determined to take down the female titan but in the end, she died for nothing. Eren realizing this flips shit but he was SO late. He did far more damage in the battle against the female titan than what I was expecting also. He damn near had her until that final blow to his head. I honestly believed he was dead when she ate him but considering how Mikasa and Levi are following her, I strongly doubt it.
I anticipate the team up of Mikasa and Levi. They are going to decimate that titan. They have to. If they let the female titan get away, they will have absolutely nothing left to go off of unless they go to the basement themselves but without Eren, who knows how that will go.
Also, Levi's face when he realizes that all of his team mates are dead....that lifeless look in his eye, I got so infuriated. I WANT HIM TO GET REVENGE. Ugh. This show is so fantastic. The story is going in such a direction that I have no idea what's going on. I don't want to read the manga and spoil it for myself but christ.....they have so much to cover in this anime.
We haven't even gotten close to the colossal titan nor even the armored titan. We are only on the female titan. I anticipate the character development in this series. Especially with Levi, Erwin, Mikasa, Armin, Sasha, and Eren. So many feels.

I don't know who collosal titan is but there's only one bald character and he looks kinda like pixis in other regards too so I'm pretty sure it's pixis
But the titan doesn't have a sweet mustache
i always thought his upper lip looked like a 'stache so it looks even more like him.
Eren don't have long flowing hair either.
I really hope they have avoided giving his face any expressions up until now just so when he goes goku mode
on the bitch
Also to the people saying the
Colossal titan identity
Pixis' too busy grooming his moustache and pretending to lose to the king at chess to actually get to the other side of the settlement and bust down a lowly wall, much less do so while transforming into a titan form that conceals his majestic facial hair. That just ain't happening.

Pixis was at the Governor's house (or whoever that was) when Trost was attacked.
Yes, that would be a spoiler... Thanks.
My guess for Armored Titan / Colossal Titan identity:
Eren's dad has to be one of them. He disappeared mysteriously. The connection wasn't there at first, but once we learned how the transformations worked and all that, it became clear. I'd lean more towards the Colossal Titan.
The only problem is that he got his wife killed if that is the case... but we didn't really get to know him as a character. It may have been for his 'greater good' or something.

I guess that settles it. If he had a goatee rather than a moustache, however...
Yes, so stop it.

Nice, enjoy!
I think what they do is stash it somewhere and retrieve them later. You see Eren's clothes and stuff gets ripped off everytime he transforms, so I don't think they can keep the gear in tact. Either that or they learn to control the transformation so their clothes and stuff stays in tact. I'm actually not sure if they explain this later on.

Takes a special kind of person to look at the "no manga spoilers" right there in the thread title, then post manga spoilers.
