Jesus Christ, discussing things that appeared in that very episode doesn't count as spoilers. If those are spoilers to you then you should avoid this thread completely.

The official english name of Zetsuen No Tempest on the Japanese manga covers is The Civilization Blaster, dunno why they used Blast Of Tempest for the anime.
That's a subtitle actually. It's not a translation of the title or anything. It's Zetsuen no Tempest ~The Civilization Blaster~.
Oh ok, my bad then.
That's what I'm thinking, yeah. Japanese companies can get stupidly stubborn...
"That's the English title we picked in Japan, and that's the English title you're going to use, US branch!"

OP Single cover:
Good cover, though the song will need to play a bit more before I really dig it, just not something I see myself continually listening to at this point in time.
I actually don't like this. Feels like there is an ugly blur effect over it like badly done photoshopped covers.

Why would you want that, that like eliminates the main features of the covers?
I meant an alternate cover that has nothing to do with the anime like this :
I don't want Branduil to shout at me again, so for the record, what are the "rules" regarding posting information about upcoming episodes in this thread? I'm sure there would be people interested in what's coming up based on magazine previews and stuff, and comparing them to the manga to see how the adaptation is changing things around. But you know, -fucking spoilers- etc. I don't want to be blamed for starting a spoiler spree again!

I think it's fine to post upcoming staff and stuff. I'd just put the episode titles and details in spoiler tags.
The staff aren't as interesting as the hints as to how the adaptation will flow though!
Well, I don't mind as long as it's properly tagged.
Yesss!!! I'M FREE!
Episode 2-5 synopsis/magazine info/stuff (no -major- spoilers):
Looks like they're going to be taking the later manga chapters from ch15 onwards to fill the gap instead of making weird time jumps in the manga.
Ep2 should be the rest of chapter 2 and include Eren and Mikasa joining the army.
Ep3 uses chapter 5's title (A dim light glittering in the hopelessness) but it seems to actually be about Eren's early training and his inability to control the 3D Maneuver Gear instead.
Ep4 uses chapter 3's title, but it's set 3 years after Eren joined the corps, and it continues their training. Apparently Rivai makes his first appearance in the anime here, so there might be some original content.
Ep5 uses chapter 4's title, and seems like it actually matches up with the manga content at this point, where they start their first mission 5 years later.

Then again, "three years after they joined the corps" = "present day", so even if there's some original content / reshuffling, it should also cover the content of the manga's third episode (besides, with that title, it kinda has to, really).
Well, it seems like that should make you happy.
Rivai/Rivaille/Levy/whatever his name is making an early appearance isn't that surprising, he's one of the most popular characters. Gotta please the fangirls.
Welp, just tried to download it (because I'm Belgian and did not find any good link to watch it)
and even though, it's great quality, someone replaced the subtitles with some imaginary conversations about bitcoin, wow clans and sucking dick...
Took me a while to figure it out but yea, kinda dissapointing.

Yes, Ive been dying to finally encounter that. The only thing I knew of the series before episode one, such good arts.

I love the Opening, it's great.
So they did what any sane person would. Bravo. Really happy about this change.
Ah, well. That's better than nothing. Thanks.
I guess manga/anime creators still think having an adult protagonist will bring on the apocalypse.

It's a shounen series, aimed at preteen/teen boys.
There's seinen for adult protagonists.

Watched on funimation, nice as usual.
Hopefully the schedule is true simulcast.

Honestly, Eren's young age never bothered me in the manga.
Crunchyroll has Attack on Titan too!

Man, I don't know what's going on anymore. We've gone from rumors that MBS was intentionally holding out on international streaming rights to two major English streaming sites picking it up on the same day, hours apart. What I would give to know what the hell happened behind the scenes...
Wait, so both Funimation AND Crunchyroll are streaming it? That's... weird.
Well, it's a delayed simulcast (by over a day I reckon) so maybe that keeps MBS happy. Crunchyroll seems to have licensed it directly from Kodansha though (look at the publisher), so many money was an issue too. The IP is a huge cash cow for Kodansha so I wouldn't be surprised if they were being dicks about it.
What route do you think Funi went through? Were the two deals struck completely separately or was it a joint agreement? It was weird how Crunchyroll seemed to be done announcing simulcasts, then suddenly a few hours after Funi's announcement they put up a new "coming soon" simulcast box, then just minutes later announced it as Titan.

But on funimations site its also by kodansha too
Yeah what I mean is, usually anime isn't licensed directly from the manga publisher. This seems a bit more complicated than usual, maybe that's why they all couldn't announce it for a week.

I guess episode 2 just started airing 12 minutes ago (in JPN)
Ohh, okay cool.
Well it's a long "o", so you need to use "ou" or "ô".
Edit : Wait, I'm wrong, it's Kyojin, my bad.
