Well, most of the far shots of the horses are CGI. So that would obviously be a different group of animators working on those particular shots, but it could be a different group for the closeups as well.
But mainly what's clear is that this episode obviously had a lot of love and care put into it compared to some of the earlier episodes, especially the bad 8-13 section. Which is good because lots of still shots would have had a negative effect on the tone they were aiming for.
yea, i was being a bit sarcastic. i really do agree that it's mainly time constraints as well.

I really hope they give this another season of anime. It'd be a shame if it ended up being a one-and-done like they did to Claymore.
But seeing as how much dough the merchandising is raking in, I can't see them not putting out another season.

There's very little chance they won't eventually animate the entire manga with how successful the series is.

No one else thinks Reiner looks a lot like the armored titan? Jean is a possibility as well I guess.

Just look at him.
Annie being the female titan seems damn near certain unless the show wants to pull a fast one.
No idea about the colossal titan, Eren and Annie's(and possibly Reiner's) titans take on their characteristics, colossal titan is weird. I thought maybe the female titan and colossal titan deliberately didn't "finish" their transformations so as to better hide their identities,(though female titan is still obvious) Eren had a similar looking "unfinished" state when he blocked the cannon.

If chapters are only released monthly, they probably need a year or so to give themselves more material to animate.

I was google image-searching something AoT-related the other day, and it just popped up as a search result. Couldn't resist.

Really good episode this week. I don't read the manga, but from what I've heard this show is definitely going to need a 2nd season. Hopefully the popularity of season 1 will swiftly greenlight season 2, and it'll start in spring or summer of 2014.

Even if the entire manga won't be done for another 10 years?
It's not going to take 10 years for the manga to finish.

People said the same thing about Berserk. One Piece was supposed to run for 5 years.
At the pace it's going and the amount of money it's making Isayama, I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, I hope it doesn't turn into the 2nd half of the Trost arc all over again. First time I've experienced filler fatigue in so few episodes.
Three damn episodes to move a rock.

8 and IIRC 13 are worth watching.

Who knows, we have no idea how far the author plans to explore this world and honestly I can't see the story being finished anytime soon.
That Rainer part was pretty silly. I mean there's 2 options here:
1. He survived that as a human but that's just stupid because he was clearly crushed.
2. He regen'd and is actually a titan but how in the hell didn't Armin or Jean realize that? Jean just said he forgot how strong Rainer was but wtf he was fucking crushed! It doesn't matter how strong you are when a titan fucking breaks you like that!

Even though I got spoiled on who the female titan is, it would still be really obvious who it was even if I wasnt spoilt. It also seems super obvious that the armoured titan is
By the way.....what the hell was Armin going on about when he was yelling to Jean to avenge someone? Saying that he saw his body underneath a foot? I'm not sure if it was a bad sub or what but that whole section went over my head.
Reiner. Same hair/body shape and the fact that he regenerated.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
He used a direct reference to Eren (the one who hurries to his death) which made the female titan pause. He wanted to test if it infact was someone that they potentially knew, or else the whole reference wouldnt have been understood by said titan. The fact that it stopped shows that it indeed is someone close to the original group. He wanted to cause potential confusion with the line also by making it sound like Eren was killed by the female titan during the attack on the right wing of the formation which made it pause to think.
The whole "one who hurries to his death" for example is usually what Jean calls Eren for example.
The subtitles for GG anyways makes sense as it matches basically what is being said in Japanese.

Ah, got ya. Thanks.

Its understandable if its confusing for those who are just going off the subtitles alone. One reason why sometimes its difficult to fully understand whats going on in any subtitles form of media.

OMGGGGGGGGG! (speculation, but it could be a potential spoiler if Im right)
I always thought something was really off with
Could she
I always thought something was really off with
Ymir.
be a titan too?
At least if it's going to become a bio-mecha show, they were laying the conspiracy/mystery seeds from Day 1, so that's been consistent.
So, assuming the Titan is who we think it is (it's beyond blatant), does that mean that they want the "Top 10" to go to the MP in order to find Titan testing candidates?

I thought I read somewhere that Ymir was supposed to be the main character of the anime/manga before it was all set in stone. Ymir could have a significant role if that's the case later on.

While
Reiner is almost certainly a titan since we know it's possible for humans to turn into them
he cut his way out of the titan's hand
the blood spurt was from the titan. Perhaps the titan is Annie and she let Reiner escape once she saw who it was.
I'll have to look at that again. Even if
Reiner did get crushed then regenerated, Jean, and maybe Armin, thought he cut his way out of the titan's grasp.
The way they handled that moment it felt they were clearly trying to hint towards something.
Otherwise it would've just been the case that
he just manages to cut his way out before being crushed.
He shouldn't be talking so much while riding.

I think that may be his shtick or something, either way, the shit is hilarious. I hope it continues to happen.

Episode 17 was really great, and I thought it was a good episode to make up for the past ones. I haven't even watched the manga but I can tell
. Also I'm really starting to like Jean. He's really cool now since he's one of the few characters in the show that
.
but not as much.
who that titan is
has made a drastic change over time
Armin did too,
Pure speculation from somebody who saw a couple of scans from the recent "volume 0" of the manga and couldn't tell the main character was male.
Yeah, I know some people are a bit put off from this. It's obviously a theme of the series now, just have to see where they go with it.
Volume 0? Is that the little manga that came with the recent blu ray release?
Yep. It's the short story the author submitted years before the beginning of the series. A prototype, pretty much.
I love these little hints they are throwing in they are doing really well to allude to certain things. If you know what you're looking for they are really obvious but if not, than you would think nothing of it. Its becoming a chore to wait for new episodes to come out but I don't really want to read ahead.
I thought the idea was that
he didn't get crushed at all and that the blood spurt at the moment he did get "crushed" was from him slicing the hand to make space?
Well, uh, didn't you watch the past like five episodes?

Look, I haven't enjoy anime since 1999. Since then, I have not been interested on watching anything anime related. But this one? This one is pretty damn good. I declare myself as a fan and I can't wait to see what happen next #TeamSasha
Not only that but
when he grabs Armin there's steam coming out of his head (or close) something that could indicate that he regenerated.
