The whole point of doing scenes like that, is that you do a money shot at the end.
What's a money shot? There was no money involved in that scene.

I thought the episode was ok. A little too mikasa heavy for my liking and definitely the weakest of all of the episodes. However, everything was handled in a way that made sense and never felt "cheap" or "cheapened"

I don't know, I thought
Hannah's gear kind of made it unclear his entire bottom half was gone.

What do you mean? There's definitely money involved in hiring 73 key animators.
Yup. That was my only gripe with episode 6.
Ep 6 spoilers
I don't understand why some of you feel like it's indispensable to always have the blood and guts in full view whenever possible. Sometimes it's more impactful to just leave things to the imagination than to have gratuitous gore everywhere, you know? I mean, what the hell did you guys think was going on in that scene based on the character's actions and demeanor? That maybe the guy had simply shat his pants in fear and was too embarrassed to answer back so he was just faking it?

I'm fine with it not being in full view, I just want it to be clear. Had Hannah taken off her gear beforehand, you could tell right away Franz was missing the bottom half of his body.
I generally don't mind censoring, it's to be expected, but
the entire point of that scene is the reveal shot. You go from:
Hidden shots: Oh, another minor character died. That's sad. To:
Reveal shot: Holy shit, she's trying to revive her lover's upper torso
Not a huge deal, but I'm not fond of it at all when it changes the meaning of a scene.

Exactly. The way it was framed is always done for the impact of the reveal shock. It's supposed to be gruesome for the impact on the viewer. Instead they tried to censor it but still did the storyboarding in the same manner.
It's like someone trying to argue that Saving Private Ryan would be just as effective without all the gore shots.
ok

dude is clearly half the man he used to be in this frame. c'mon now. besides i'm sure it'll be "fixed" in the BDs in any case.
The gear on the left is blocking a good portion of the shot and there's a distinct lack of blood. By trying to obscure the person, which is what they clearly did, it reduces the visual impact to the audience.
I'm kinda disappointed that episode 6 ended with the flashback. I thought it was going to end with
. I felt like that would have more impact as a cliffhanger. Still a good episode. I never noticed that Misaka crushed the knife handle in the manga. Holy shit.

Careful with manga spoilers!

Agree.
I had no idea half his torso was gone. Now, it was obvious that he died, but I thought Armin just inferred that which is why he said that reviving him was pointless. But seeing half his torso gone would've changed things entirely. Same result but different perspective.
Armin spend most of the last episodes shitting his pants, so yeah, initially I thought he just blacked out again

i had no idea they sent unfinished episodes to broadcast like this. i assumed shows air with most if not all the episodes already animated. man what a tough career :/ i would be totally for a 1 week break so these guys can catch up but that would never happen.

Is it still not up? I checked a few hours ago.
I woke up in the morning to check on the ep and it was delayed. Came home earlier at 7:30pm and still not up, now currently 9:30pm... WTF!!!!!
I never regretted paying for Crunchyroll until now.

Duckroll posted about it earlier. CR is waiting on a finished version of the episode.

It would take a lot more than one or two series getting constantly delayed to irritate me, but still.

Decided to jump on because I keep seeing this thread getting bumped, saw the show mentioned in the weekly "what anime should I check out threads," and thought the Titan artwork was intriguing. So is this is a story that will eventually end, or is this another Berserk type situation? Anyways, good show so far, and I'm going to check out the manga.

Is it correct that 2 manga chapters are being adapted per episode?

If it wasn't for HxH and Devil Summoner I would've un-subbed instantly after this and last week's bullshit.

To the current Episode 6 discussion in this thread:
I didn't even notice Franz was missing half of his body until I read this thread. Am I blind, or?

They did? In the Jojo anime they mostly just had some magical light fill in the wound areas. Which fit since most of the enemies were supernatural.

Well we already knew what was going on with Franz at the end of the last episode. We saw his upper torso hanging out of the mouth.

See, this is exactly what I mean. It could have been more apparent.
No, it wasn't. It was in full view in the manga.

Woops.
I usually like to watch something when all the episodes are done. Man, I made a huuuuge mistake.
5:20 AM, watched all the six episodes in one sitting and now the waiting game will kill me inside. It's been a great show so far for me, too many still shots but I guess I kinda understand that they need to save money somewhere.

No way in hell the kid is dead. What the hell was the point of the key and the injection then? Misdirection? Nah. He's gonna turn into the blond kid from Full Metal Alchemist or something. Or he'll absorb the titan's juice and regenerate the limbs.
Watch Steins;Gate and Mirai Nikki for other gripping ones. Kaiji is also great.

I would prefer a game by Studio Santa Monica
Ehh...Steins;Gate took 10 eps to get good, and Mirai Nikki started promising only to get progressively worse---the twists and turns in the series are basically ripped off from other actual great anime.
Kaiji is good. However unique series is something like Madoka, Gunbusters & Gurren Lagann IMO.
It would have a budget and ample production time then, so definitely better.
Before the anime aired I thought the first wall breach + battle of Trost would have made a wholesome live action Hollywood movie. Especially since most of the cast is white lol.
Nice work.
Directed by Neil Blomkamp, Two Steps from Hell OST. Hell yes.
Well, I would pay good money for watching [episode 5]

It's not their fault. The good people at Attack on Titan are animating and shit up until the last minute, just in time for it to air in their purchased slot. But for other channels in different regions and for Funimation/Crunchroll, they will get the materials later. The other channels will air an incomplete version of the show while Crunchyroll will wait to get he more complete one.
Crunchyroll probably won't be sent anything until all of the local channels airs the episode first.
That's how I'm going to imagine this scene from now on.
