Female Titan being pure musculature does allow an easy out to the "giant naked boobies" problem.

My thoughts as well
Although I'm not sure why you couldn't just have 2 colossal titans?
One for outer wall one for inner wall
Seriously doubt colossal couldn't pop the inner wall just as easily
To be fair though if titans don't need genitals I see no reason why they would need nipples, don't think Eren has nipples but he has skin
So boobs would just be slightly different colored

Berserk's art was always amazing, there was just less darkness and demon stuff in the first 9 chapters (which is 900 pages lol)
Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan Episode 25:
Series Analysis: So the phrase the work that will save anime gets bandied quite a bit these days, looking at you Kill La Kill, and while anime has no need of saving, it has a it of an accessibility problem these days. Attack on Titan is about the most accessible Otaku O' Clock anime I have seen all year. Though this makes sense since in spite of the propagated levels of maturity, this is still a shonen show, and it wears those tropes very glaringly. Indeed, it has some of the bad tropes like shit pacing and exaggerated emotions, yet in spite of that, this was still a very entertaining ride, for the most part. The Defense of Trost arc really was the nadir of things as the production problems really dragged down an already slow arc to near unwatchable levels. That aside, this show knew how to hook viewers and to level them wanting more, I think it is the rare person who wants things to end at this point. Attack on Titan currently trends at number 3 on my AOTY list.
Kudos to this show for not pulling a Gecko Ending on us, instead wisely going for the open ended stoppage that hints at another season. For there most likely will be a second season of one of the hottest anime properties around right now. I do not see that being forestalled and hamstrung for more episodes. Anyway, one again, we see where all of the animation dollars went as we get a rather visually impressive end fight between Annie and Eren. This also reaffirms my belief that there are about six people who would have made better protagonists then him, since he is so bloody useless. We wrap up this arc with the characteristic melancholy bitter-sweetness that is rather unwarranted. People died, yes, and Annie is locked in a cocoon of ice but you also have her in custody, maybe she does not talk now, but crack that nut, and we shall see what happens. Indeed out teaser for season 2 seems to be a secret of massive interest, titans are in the walls. So many questions, so many questions, no answers, just questions, we need answers.

They explained it during the academy training episode. They don't have reproductive organs.
Annie likes Eren, just not in that way.
Eren uses Fuse
Annie uses Harden
It is super effective!

Now that I've calmed down from my initial rage. I still think the anime botched the adaptation of this final arc and final twist, but if you're an anime only viewer it probably won't impact you as much. I still think the manga did a better job handling these scenes and they could have adapted it better, but it's serviceable.
I did like some of the changes the anime made such as putting the training arc for Eren and co before the battle of Troust and not after, along with the extended battle against the female titan in the final two episodes.

lmao.
I thought it was a great episode. Eren went full beast mode and there was a lot of intensity to the battle. The part after Eren
recovered from his beatdown and tackled Annie
The reveal at the end was interesting. But the anime definitely did handle it way differently from the manga chapter. Since the theater version has an extra 10 mins, is the stuff with
Hanji and the priest
IDK if I'll continue with the manga at this point. I wanna wait till they animate more chapters.
I think the end of this episode has implications for why both the initial outer wall assault and the Trost wall assault were handled like they were.

Just watched 25 and I don't think I can wait. I must resist!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
So you are saying
the wall wall can be taken out via Colossal titan, but the city wall can only be taken by armoured titan. It all makes sense, then when they have taken the city, colossal titan is 'freed' or something
Someone said 33 earlier. You can jump right in without much of a problem.

I watched it and saw the after credits bit too but not sure how it implies that
I guess the logic might go something like this?
Outer wall is stronger and armored can't break though it thus colossal is needed
Innerwall humans are expecting titans so colossal would have to put up with cannons which might be able to stop him????
But doesn't affect armored?
No no, I mean
they intentionally avoided hitting the big walls. Colossal titan sweeps the top. Armored titan punches a hole through the gate. Given the implication from the end of the episode, it seems they may have wanted to avoid breaching the walls themselves.
They became titans, like Eren in his fathers basement (which is underground) and Annie, which is... huh yeah.
Start with 34.
The anime changed things around a bit with the
wall Titan
They also can't digest anything I believe.
Which makes there eating of humans mysterious and pointless.
Ok, seems like it's this last episode. The art ain't that bad actually.

Didn't the colossal pop the outer gate though in both instances and then move to sweep the top of the wall?
Doesn't that just obviously suggest to everyone that titans are a biological weapon made by someone?
I'm guessing humanity itself and it backfired
Try to use them on an opposing country without destroying the resources and wealth but it went awry and they killed the creators too
Oh, yeah, you're right. It probably kicked it in.

I'm left content with the way the series ended. Haven't decided whether I want to read the Manga yet but this series has been an absolute wild ride that I've enjoyed from start to finish. They need to get around to announcing that Season 2 ASAP.
... now for Kill la Kill next week!
Ending of Ep.25 :

Remember guys, keep the show in mind when AOTY's come around at the end of the year, even if it's the only one you watched. Will be interesting to see where it will place.

Not really trying to bring any manga shit into here so I'll be very vague. I only read the manga to match the anime but never pass where the anime episode leaves off. I like to see how much they've changed it, plus I like to see how the actual drawings look.
WARNING TO OTHERS WHO DO THIS:
Chapter 34 which episode 25 is based on, was very different from what the episode showed. It was odd to say the least. I'm guessing some of the content from this chapter will kick off season 2. (So I guess I semi spoiled myself for the first ep of S2 :/)
Either way time for blackout mode for SnK. So many unanswered questions! I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next season.

Man... I'm already depressed now...
If this actually happened the ending would have been more terrifying :O

I'd start from 32, which is episode 24. I thought they manga handled a few earlier scenes better so you may enjoy those too.
HunterxHunter? Though with Danganronpa and AoT both having ended this week, the only weekly anime series I'm following now is HxH and One Piece :x I guess Kill la Kill is next week.
Hmm.. I found the "half-time" facts (or whatever they are called, the little facts that come when the show goes to/comes back from the commercial break) pretty interesting in the finale. Interesting even for a manga-reader imo

Anime really isn't like a regular TV series, in which there's an obligatory cliffhanger / hook.
I see a lot of people here complaining about the "ending". This isn't an ending...just think of it as a seasonal intermission, whilst we pray and fuel the animation gods to continue their work.
As for the episode / anime...pretty incredible stuff. I love that the violence / darkness is perpetual. They never take their foot off the gas, which is paramount for that sense of constant desperation and despair. I heartily look forward to season 2.
I'm tempted to start reading the Manga, but I'll have to wait and see.

Personally I think it suggest there might be something under the walls and I have an idea of what it is
My belief is the city was made before the titan attacks happened AND it was made because of the impending titans
I am thereby suggesting the titans were originally created by this city's governemnt whether a secret group or the head (king) as it stands now I do not know
And also suggesting that the inital titan creation may have occured in a facility hidden beneath the city only accessible at certain access points

Shingeki 25-
Parts of this were really well animated and parts were not, even inside the fight sequences itself. It was a lackluster fight choreography wise, and somewhat animation-wise other than a few shots, till Eren went 'Bersahkar' mode. If it wasn't for that segment, I would have said that the climatic fight was a complete bust.

If even half of the people in this thread vote it will.
Eh I liked it well enough overall but I don't see it being very high on my personal AOTY list and depending on how good or bad the Fall anime season is, it might not even appear at all on it.
Too early to tell.

Both of them are a trillion times better, in very different ways.
I was super bummed out about the choreography/editing when Eren
went SSJ2. It just kinda.. Cut to him. There was no transformation sequence.

Both are way better in very different ways.
Those are both must watch titles.
Also, look for new stuff to watch, Fall Anime Season begins in a few days.
