So glad i stumbled onto this thread, decided to watch the 6 episodes that are out so far and am loving it, first anime series that i've actually watched since Kenshin way back in 2005, only one problem though...
I decided to look on to wiki to see how many episodes there have been so far and as i was scrolling down it had the character list and had a little description about them...and of course i had to read a few of them and now i've gone and given myself some spoilers, ffs.
Loving the show though!

Wow I like where this anime is heading.
Killing the main character is a really bold move if they stick to it.
Random thought popped in my head. You know that bloke who gets kicked by the running titan (it's been gif and reposted loads in the thread so I guess it's not really a spoiler now)
Well anywho,
Well anywho,
why was he there? Everyone else was huddled by the exit waiting to escape whereas he was just being Billy No Mates in the middle of nowhere. What a plonker.
Io9 did an article spoiling this show as well in a fucking spring Anime recommendations topic. Glad I started reading the manga prior to seeing it, it was a very major spoiler.

It isn't just wikipedia. It is the fact that wikipedia will pop up first on Google, too. Let us just say that I googled a certain something doing a certain something on google to see if I could find an image or a clip, and the top wiki result made me say: I don't get it, but I don't think I'm supposed to know that. So half spoiled?
Now, mix this in with the Kame-hame-ha meme and we will have the perfect photo meme.
Woot! A few more minutes and I'll be home!
Then I can see Mikasa tear things up epic style!
No I am talking about this sort of thing.
I fully expect the SnK Blu-ray's to be similarly 'uncensored'.
This show is getting really popular isnt it?
Also not sure if it was posted here but there is a PSO2 parody of the OP, Attack on Rappy

Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
I don't know if we can chalk this up to yet another Evangelion reference, but for some reason the climax in this episode reminded me of the multitude of times EVA 01 stabbed something. Or am I grasping at straws here?
When episode seven is aired on CrunchyRoll and Funimation.

Romanes Eunt Domus
All of those are pretty derivative works, though. Especially Gurren Lagann, which I love to death.
Yeah, that one got me good. Bastards.
Grasping at straws. More like a trope.

Episode 6:
Was really hoping to find out what happened to Eren, kinda disappointed half the episode was Armin being a little bitch. At least Miska being awesome made up for it.

Episode 6 The World the Girl Saw - Battle for Trost (2)
Perhaps the delay made this feel even worst than it really was but it was just a really terrible episode and plagued with many dull moments. It felt as if the writer is making the same elementary mistakes that amateur yet aspiring fanfiction writers make in their debut works.
I think that random marriage line really felt out of place. Had to agree with Connie about it and then it just looked really bad.

Flashback Eren was cool, hope we get more. Good eyes.

Focusing all of his attention on developing FailKasa and somehow making her this intense character capable of making numerous miracles such as destroying countless titans is just an incredulously nonsensical decision in direction. Surely he could have shared some of these moments with characters sparring them of tragic and really emotional deaths, like Thomas of last episode and then here, Franz, and ultimately Eren. Two episodes in a row and I've already lost three characters I liked and one I loved. I think the anime would do so well if multiple characters were getting in on the action instead of making this a one character do all spectacle, its unfair. If things dont change fast, then I think I really might just not even care for this anymore, only the hopes that Armin, Jean, Connie have something else to them and more flashbacks of Eren, and hopefully Rivaille getting involved in the plot (why that brief tease in the past, he deserves screentime, such a cool design), help me to keep watching this.

Considering characters are dying all around them, how can one joke around or then show Armin on an emotional collapse and Franz's death scene...

I just started the show and watched the first five episodes in a row. It's an awesome show but the pacing is confusing me. There's some neat character development ideas presented in these first couple episodes that could really have been developed into a bigger character arc. Instead the growth seems to be the character explaining how they have changed/grown up since our last interaction with them. The show seems to fall prey to telling instead of showing quite a bit.
Anyways, still a cool show. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Yeah I didn't even see what was going on there.
My friend I'm watching it with who's read the manga pointed it out to me.
Anyway, I have to say episode 6 may have finally sold me on this show.
Up till now the series had felt like an overly long prologue, and I wasn't really interested in any of the characters.
Episode 1 was exciting, but 2-5 didn't do all that much for me. If I knew absolutely nothing about it then maybe I would have found the events of 2 and 5 interesting, but with even a basic idea of the story ahead of time, it was just "ok this is where they demonstrate how hopeless things are." And with a dull color scheme and adequate but not really pretty CG, and frequent stills, it was hard to get excited about the visuals.
But time flew by while I watching episode 6. When the credits rolled, I could have sworn it had only been 15 minutes.
It's definitely more interesting when it's focusing on Mikasa instead of the boys.
So caught up with 5 and halfway through 6 (internet died last night as I was watching) and..
I totally didn't see episode 5 coming. They're not pulling a Gurren Laggan are they? I refuse to believe Eren is dead, or won't come back in some form. They alluded to much to his dad, and with those weird flashbacks of his dad injecting him with stuff. I assume some mindfuckery is going to happen to bring him back. Unless I missed something at the ending of episode 6 that shows it....

I had an epiphany in the car today; I imaged an Attack on Titan video game adaptation produced by Team ICO.

Are they gonna give us full-length songs on the OST, or the usual TV-size bullshit?

If they give you the full songs, then what reason do you have to buy the single?

Singles are ridiculously overpriced, I wouldn't buy them anyhow.
Maybe.

Really late to the party but Episode 6 was awesome! Enough said as most of you went over the good parts already.

Speaking of full OPs/EDs ( My obsessional specialty (; )
Kyojin ED Instrumental anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtZEEFivOfE
( My bad, if you guys want, I could probably upload the actual FULL one, instead of my 1:30 edit above. )

I really hope this series gets a merchandising bonanza at some point. I'd pick up some Titan figures.

So who are these other "famous" people that other titans are modeled after? Unless there's official confirmation it just seems like a coincidence to me.
