So last week the show took way too long and nothing happened, this week looks even worse, think it's time to take a step back. Oh well, maybe there will be an anime worth watching in the next 5 or 6 years. Or maybe I'm just too old for this shit.
We should be grateful that they even animated the confrontation... no, you're right, it was still awful.

*obligatory there's plenty of anime worth watching post*
You could always wait for the show to end to see how it turns out without having to deal with the poor pacing. I at least think there's some interesting developments coming up, for whatever that's worth.
The official Attack on Titan x Pizza Hut promotional page is live now, by the way. Useless unless you live in Japan and like Pizza Hut, but interesting nonetheless.

Shame they're never going to display all the script covers for the show somewhere; they look pretty cool.

Attack on Titan T-shirts! Yes plz.
Survey and Training Corps, both available in Sand and Black. A bit steep at around $30 USD. Keep in mind that if you do buy one, Japanese sizes are a bit smaller than they are in other countries, so you may want to go one size up.

Same here. I can't believe it took me so long to give this a look. Definitely one of my favorites in a long while.
I believe it airs every Saturday. I feel like all the backlash from the recent episode is due to having to wait a full week to get barely any progression. I wish I waited until the season was finished, because now I will be in the same boat waiting every week.
Nah, I haven't seen him do anything yet that would be considered "annoying."

What i don't like about Armin is that he is a very character who seems overly demanding when it comes to approval seeking from his peers!
We must understand that Eren is not a complex character whose motivation is not well-justified. As a kid killing those people with so little remorse, fear and skill does not equalize well with believable behavior in the context of the character. But Eren deals with shit and moves on. He takes action. Armin does not, and having him REPEAT his whining like dat is grueling!
Currently I like Mikasa and Jean the most!
Oh, I beg to differ.
Please, Relena isn't even the worst Princess in the series. That'd be Marina.

What? Marina is far from the bottom, Wang Liu Mei, Flay, Releena (all in the way, ugh) are all quite annoying, bad, and atrocious.

Another Jean fan? I love him the most, Eren is relatable, and Connie is good too.
Viewers are starting to see typical shounen annoyances with SnK?
I'm quite a few episodes behind, switched to the manga to try it instead. I just think it's a very average series with cheap shocking moments in the beginning, can't see it going anywhere interesting. I will keep an eye on the reception when it ends and decide whether to continue, please be my guinea pigs.

Yeah, my friend that recommended it told me it's like Game of Thrones in the sense that characters die unexpectedly and remain dead permanently. I kinda wish
they never brought Eren back, since Mikasa is a strong character on her own
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
best ever~
that IS Armin's character, he is always portrayed as a whimpy character but has great strategic intellect. He will grow in time and there will be a time where he has to decide to join the frontlines or the command line. You will like him later on, he is the reason the whole rookie team survive their encounters. Eren is but one chess piece on the board, you will hate him even more down the road.
Yeah I noticed that too, what the fuck?

HxH is very deceptive.
Dont let the light hearted nature(if that is what turns you off) of the beginning fool you into thinking this show is anything but epic
It's also my favorite ongoing weekly anime on right now. I wish all of the on going anime was consistent in quality like HxH. The fights and the level of tension is great and the characters are just plain fun.
I've been trying to hold back from reading the manga on HxH and AoT.
I guess AoT is going to play out like all the other ongoing anime (except HxH) where one chapter in the manga equals one anime episode. Unfortunately we are going to get alot of drawn out/padded scenes to delay the anime catching up to the manga
HxH always follow this formula for its story arcs.
Main characters arrive at New setting
Main characters meet so new badass villians
Losses the first few rounds, shit's too much for them
Meets a Guru, train under Guru, 20+ chapters focusing on just training, lots of meaningless mumbo jumbo explaining what Nen can do, it's almost endless and torturous.
villians continue doing their things
Fully trained
Own lesser villians, has tough fight against higher rank villians, still wins anyhow
BAM! end arc
after the chimera ant chapter i kinda stopped reading. Thogugh i like how brutal the arc can be, kids getting skewered, people getting eaten, arms legs getting ripped, awesome shit.

It's nice to see people having the same reaction I did, That is the moment attack on titan begins to go from being a thrilling shounen survival manga/anime to pissing all it's potential away with this dumb giant mecha like crap.
You guys should check out Hunter x hunter it's currently providing that sense of dread in spades in the chimera ant arc, it's an incredible shounen, the best running right now.
I think you're confused.

The hate in here is so... ughh
There have been some slower episodes, yes, but some of you are giving up the whole show because of that? The premise and setting + production are still top notch
they are still gonna watch... they are just bitching for the sake of bitching
The moment Eren "MMA"s another Titan in beautiful animated glory, they'll be back on board... and then be right back off.
It was slow, and drawn out like most weekly anime, but not even close to a deal breaker.

Good lord, what the hell is with the last couple episodes? Show went from awesome to suddenly losing me very, very fast.
Episode 10 was pretty awful.
