They're still using gas either way.

Would be funny if Isayama added something like that in the manga later on and made it an actual plot point.
Oh, really? I saw the exhaust, but always thought it wasn't used for propulsion.
Physics-wise, wouldn't using compressed gas to try and move a human around be considerably more wasteful than using that very gas only within the 3DMG to control the wire mechanisms? Not that I actually care if a fantastic anime series conforms to real-world physics, but still...

Kinda off topic, but does anyone else get Attack on Titan vibes from the movement in Titanfall? Running on walls, soaring between buildings -- it's not the same things, but looks like it feels pretty similar. Definitely makes me a lil more hyped for that game.
It's also there in the manga version...
Are you sure the gas is also used for propulsion in the TV series, Branduil? Where did you see that?
Probably, but I don't think they were worried about that as much as making the scenes easier to animate.
Well, the 3DMG design in the show is clearly different from the one in the manga. The manga design has tiny exhaust holes on a single barrel while the anime version has a 3-section design with a prominent exhaust jet on the back. Just look at the scenes in episode 5 where Eren battles the Colossal Titan and his squad is advancing towards the front line and it's obvious they're using the gas as propulsion.
It shows this pretty prominently in this scene in episode 7 with Mikasa.
About 40 seconds into this clip
I know they changed the design, but I'm not so sure about the gas now being used for propulsion, even after watching those scenes again...
There's not really any point in them changing the design if the gas exhaust doesn't also serve as a thruster. You can also see in a number of shots that the character's trajectory follows the vector of the nozzle as opposed to moving in the direction of the cable. There's also all of the scenes in the show where they are basically flying, LOL.
I kinda wish I just waited until all 26 episodes came out, the pacing is whack.
I guess since you are marathoning the series you won't have been in the thread until now, but yes, many, many, many posters are extremely frustrated with the pacing of the show
It's one of the few series that would benefit from condensing movies. 1 for the Trost arc, 1 for the Female Titan arc, and have movies from here on out.

Just watched 22. Was damn good yet again and I've been thoroughly satisfied with this series even though it did drag in a few parts.
Why did they basically give away that Annie is Big Bitch in the preview teaser? Kinda lame.
Yea all caught up now so now I'm reading the older posts. Good to know I'm not alone on this because it seems nobody I know is complaining about the pacing, just singing praises.
Quick question about Ep.22
Why do you guys think Levi
.
I got the impression that when he saw what happened to his squad he figured out it could
and thus grabbed her before it could
but that seems a bit of a long shot..
Why do you guys think Levi
stopped Mikasa going for the kill?
I got the impression that when he saw what happened to his squad he figured out it could
selectively regenerate
bite her
Him being the most skilled soldier we've seen so far, it doesn't seem that far fetched to me. The whole leg part was kind of odd, though, since it had little plot relevance afterwards (
why'd he go "damn, I can't fight" later on if he didn't even need his legs to swing around on his 3DMG and cut those titans to shreds, anyway?

I don't think this was even open for interpretation.
He didn't know about the selective regeneration I guess, but he knew it was a trap to lure them into attacking the exposed neck - because it was not armored.
EP 22
Didn't he pretty much directly tell her they couldn't kill it with their weapons since it could selectively harden its skin?
Not all of them are shutting down during night - some simply don't give a fuck :lol
One of the Titans that Hanji examined for example seemed to be awake while the other wasn't

But she mentioned how he was somehow able to wound it before it could harden its skin, so I'd say he could've killed her if he wanted and had enough spare blades. I guess
the inconvenient leg wound
So I finally watched the episode...damn, that was depressing as hell! When they were
I wonder if the Female Titan's identity will be revealed next week. It had better, although I think we all kind of know who she probably is.
tossing the bodies out of the back of the wagon and having the Titans literally walk over/on them, I cringed. Poor Petra. ;_;

Besides the fact that they weren't well-equipped to deal with the hardening, at that point Levi just prioritized getting in and getting out after saving Eren.

Honestly until that preview I forgot who she was.
This. There are so many characters introduced then dropped off the wayside or killed that we kinda stop caring o_o and some characters look/sound too similar to each other. We call that gang "slytherin" because we have no clue of peep's names.

Seriously, you can section them off into groups.
Jean
Reiner
Christa
Armin
Annie if she lets her hair down
Sacha
Hanji
Ymir
EVERYONE LOOKS KINDA THE SAME. Especially in the black and white, artistically inconsistent, voiceless manga.

This, oh god this
Combine this with the fact in the manga you see the Battle of Trost before you see them training to be soldiers makes this even worse.
Seriously, there can't be 3 whole hairstyles humanity was left with.
So hot dude, I loved that scene.
Link of awesome gif just incase I spoil the scene for someone posting it in thread.

Thought this was just me, but I had the hardest time distinguishing between Reiner and Jean in the manga.

At the end of episode twenty two we're now back to square one. Except now there's a girl titan.
I feel like Milhouse watching that Poochy episode while watching this.
