lolwut? How? The manga isn't even near a conclusion, I really hope they don't do an original ending.

It takes a while to get used to the terrible swinging controls, but as long as you can time your special super attack it's not that hard. Well, it is still hard because the controls are bad but it's not quite as impossible as it appears.
Yeah I think i am done with this. It took around 12 episodes for this anime to go from good to shit :/ All thanks to the "typical" anime pacing that usually extinguishes any form of excitement or tensions.. after only 12 episodes :/ good fucking job bravo.
Well at least I still have HunterxHunter with almost impeccable pacing even after 80 episodes.

God dammit, episode 12 was like a fucking Dragon Ball Z filler episode. The previous episode had us all like OHH SHIT EREN'S GONNA KICK SOME TITAN ASS and then it doesn't happen in this episode, but next episode, OHH SHIT EREN'S GONNA KICK SOME TITAN ASS.
It's like when Krillin and Gohan take like 5 episodes to fly to a destination like going to see Kami or something.

Have you read ahead to the manga? I don't see how this is slow unless you've done so...
Probably because in 2 of the last 3 episodes Eren Jaeger has remained in EXACTLY the same spot for almost the entire episode. These past 3 episodes could have been one, because each episode is really like a single scene drawn out for 20 minutes.
Too much talking and not nearly enough beating the crap out of naked people. If it wasn't for Mikasa there'd've been none this week, either.

Hopefully they add reanimated scenes to make it worth watching.

Pacing again was waaaaay to slow but it was better then those other eps where 0 happened so it was a better ep.
Loved the animation in this short clip!

heh that's pretty cool.
Ep 12, slow, almost turned me off the show, but I know I'll be back for more :/

That doesn't happen for recap episodes. The best you can hope for is the BDs having reanimated scenes, and even that seems unlikely with how swamped Studio Wit is.

It kind of pisses me off that any of those crappy moe cute girl shows has better art and animation per second than this supposedly mega hyped best manga/anime of all time
Episode 12
Was still cool. "Meh slow paced, slow paced", yeah there wasn't much Eren stuff that happened, but still there was some shit going down with all the other characters and finally we saw some Titan-slashing again. Love my low anime standards, I can actually enjoy most stuff without filtering it through a sieve of animu-knowledge - can't stop me #BakaGajinLifestyle

Yeah, agreeing with Nibel. I think episode 12 is just getting complaints because of association with 9, 10, and 11. 12's pacing was decent, stuff happened, characters were developed. No crazy battle shenanigans, but you can't have that every episode. We're just rather starved given what has come before.

Have to agree with the complaints about the pacing. They just seem to be padding out most of the episodes with monologues and too much focus on the soldiers falling into despair. We get it, the situation is dire. You don't need to keep on pointing it out. Just get on with it and give the humans a reason to continue fighting.

The pacing for episode 12 wasn't terrible, but the whole last half of this arc has just been far too slow in general. They're really dragging it out.
I don't know how you remain so optimistic. The preview had nothing but scenes of people talking to each so from that I infer that nothing will happen once again.
Also, why is no-one complaining about the 2 minute recaps that now appear at the start of every episode? I know they were doing the recaps earlier on but they were only about 40 seconds long. It's just another way to avoid animating as much material as possible.
So in total you've got a two minute recap, one and a half minute OP and then a minute and a half ED. This brings the length of a single the episode down to a pitiful nineteen minutes.

Episode 12 gives us more information regarding the last episode, basically getting through the past again and giving us a view on how the other side of the plan was going. No GIFS for this episode, being that there's not much to create.
I think we have a new OP for the next episode, if it's like any other anime. In a 25-episode show, I think it's smart to start a new OP half-way, right?

19 minutes really isn't a big deal when some people in here are used to 10 minutes worth of content in a half hour show.

I just find it funny. Maybe folks need some "moe" in their lives.

It just speaks to the ability of the studio. I'm not the biggest anime fiend so I went to MAL to check what studio is making it and there's like fucking seven billion studio names attacked to it.
A friend told me that the manga is also insanely slow so either they are makign the most legit eadaptation ever or they are just inept. If they are inept then I want to know what/who is responsible for turning this anime from absolute greatness to this disappointing bile.
Armin is pretty moe.

We already know they'll recap it before episode 14. Just so you don't forget all the plot advancement that happened during episodes 8-11.
You didn't forget, did you?
Don't worry.
You'll never fucking forget.
They won't let you.

Not when the original OP is superior(see: Fate/Zero).

Fate/Zero's second OP is pretty good though.
If you want to get into infinitely worse OP switching territory then look at Code Geass. Now those got terrible after the first one.

Not expecting much after the boulder thing since I caught up with the manga already.
Yaeger = Jaeger = Jäger = German word for hunter
I am there with you. I am getting dragon ball z vibes here. Goku needed 5 episodes to be fucking super saiyan. Eren needs 5 episodes full of drama to move a fucking boulder. It's moving so sloooooow.
EvilKatarn

I thought the boulder would move last episode.
I had no doubt that the boulder would move this episode.
I've seen landmasses move faster than that fucking boulder.

Well, at least something happened this episode other than people wallowing in self-pity and despair. That's a step forward. Eren punching his own face was pretty funny.
To The Beginning was a great song and the OP was also pretty cool. Not as action packed but still good.

This is starting to feel like fucking Dragonball Z pacing.
More movement than Eren has had in three episodes but he still manages to remain in the exact same spot the whole time.
I know why. Maybe because its AMAZING!
This week's episode wasn't bad but nowhere near as good as it should be. The series really has no business being this slow as the source material is great. I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad if someone were to marathon the series instead of watching it as its airing but man, I had no idea they would stretch out the Trost Battle this long. At the very least it seems that the conclusion to this arc is happening in the next episode (i really hope so at least).
Getting worried how the studio is going to handle the
arc in the next half.
