Episode 9
This episode took about twice as long to cover the events at hand as it needed to. So many lengthy flashbacks. So much shouting. So many "tense" pans over people staring each other down. If anyone had any doubt that this show was having production issues, this should make it amply clear, especially given how much better the average production quality was during the first few episodes.
I guess it's admirable that they haven't had to push out a completely ugly episode instead, like the 18th episode of Psycho-Pass, but I do wish this adaptation was better served than 30 seconds of action, 4 minutes of recapping, and 15 minutes of panning stills and flapping mouths. They should do a recap episode for the good of the rest of the series.

You know what those screens you posted reminded me of? Assassin's Creed. The backgrounds in the show really look like they're being designed for some open world game. Lots of asset reuse, design reuse, city layouts made expansive by virtue of being able to replicate smaller modular areas very quickly across a larger area. Maybe we're looking at the building blocks of the next-gen Shingeki game here!

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Gotten up to Episode 8. It's alright, can't really say I'm in love with it as much as other people. I guess a couple years of fairly weak anime seasons will leave people rabid for anything somewhat decent.
The still frame conversation on the staircase had me rolling though, man...at least move their mouths a little.
Why do I have the strong fear that this show is either going to have some filler or do a couple clip show flashback episodes in the second half like Wolf's Rain? haha

Japan exclusive. No localization. No Xbone version. PS4 region locked.

Really? The Giant on the right is obviously Nicholas Cage.

Well, that is simply fantastic.
Episode 9 spoilers:
So Titans have stomach acid right? It felt like that girl still alive in the Titans stomach was definitely melting in the manga, while it felt a little ambiguous in the anime. I don't know seemed weird to me. Great episode though, that partial transformation at the end had way more impact here than it did in the manga for me.

If only they went for the Dark Souls loving hand crafted open world and not the copy-paste Assassins Credd approach.

Dark Souls anime sounds like a good idea to me.
Every Saturday, though there might be delays sometimes.
What do you think about the show?
Along with mythology so cryptic there needs to be youtube videos explaining what was actually shown in each episode to the public.

They're very useful - someone compiled them earlier in the thread.

don't worry the mech aspects don't entirely dominate the story, iirc.

I figured it was just random information on the equipment they use and the geographical territory. Not really anything of importance but just there to act as a supplement if you can actually manage to read something before it switches over.
A 13 episode prequel would be cool, or maybe even just a few OVA's leading up to Dark Souls 2.
I don't seriously expect something like that to happen but it's fun to entertain the idea.

Problem is Dark Souls is more about the experience you go through, rather than just watching it you know?
Dont think it would work at all.
I dunno, I sure wouldn't mind watching a comedy series based on the playthroughs of the YOLO style players.

Should just have someone combine all the vids of those on youtube.
Episode 9 Spoilers:
Either way, I'm excited!
Thankfully, I don't have the same issues that many others have in this thread [I don't mean to say that they're not there, they just don't bother me], so I can enjoy every episode to the fullest. >
So it looks as though Eren has different "forms" of Titans. The one in Episode 8 was a lot more combat-drive and Episode 9 more defensive. Or maybe it's because he didn't have time to manifest the full-scale and opted, instead, to focus on the arm/ribcage/head to deflect the blast and protect his friends?

That's just what it's scheduled for at the moment. We'll likely get more when the manga is a bit further.
Oh okay, I've been really enjoying it, if it means no filler I am 100% for it.

I'm just going to leave this here. Because they're the prey and we're the hunters.

I have no idea where the votes or whatever came from. Because #1 kinda sucks actually.
The Bollywood ones are by far the best.

Attack on Titan Manga sales skyrocket after anime!
http://animeshinbun.com/news/1271045/attack-on-titan-manga-sales-skyrocket-after-anime
Back in December 2012 the first 9 volumes had already sold more than 10 Million copies, which is pretty damn impressive for only 9 Volumes in all fairness.
An anime adaption started airing in April 2013 and is currently on its 9th Episode with another 16 to come with a possible OVA and a Feature Movie. Since the release of the anime the sales of the manga have skyrocketed up another 8.7 million in these few short months of the anime airing.
With the release of Volume 10 last month the print manga reached a total of 19.5 Million copies sold, and that is absolutely astonishing.

Manga's gonna be full of filler material now, and it already drags a bit XD
Those are circulation rather than sale numbers. Still impressive regardless and the manga authors do get paid for every printed volume.
Well, this might explain why the CD single containing Guren no Yumiya isn't releasing until early July -- one of the other tracks on it, Jiyuu no Tsubasa, is the second OP for the show. I wonder if it'll be as memetically popular as the first one.
Oh and the article also points out that Attack on Titan is the next anime series in line for a ridiculous Pizza Hut cross promotion, though the website for that won't be live until next Monday.
Also, Linked Horizon chose a particularly amusing way to announce that the TV size version of Guren no Yumiya was getting added to the Joysound karaoke system with the animated OP. They're certainly getting their mileage out of those Colossal Titan suits.

People really need to let a series play out before making such declarations for it will end in tragedy.
This is something I hate about manga. It seems a lot of the stories that start out as something with a planned beginning and end but if it ever hits big the writer starts padding it as much as possible in hopes of milking it for years.
