Whose the girl everyone is afraid of crossing? Mikasa isn't, she's admired for her skill. If you mean Annie well compared to other side chars like Jean she isn't shown much.

Everything you described is standard of shounen series, which is what this is.
The manga is worse in terms of flashbacks and knowing when stuff takes place. The events of episode 3 and 4 actually happened AFTER the defense of Trost as a flashback.

I just rewatched the latest ep and had to watch the part where
initially, it's just so PERFECT and powerful! The music and the motion go PERFECTLY together, and you fell TERRIFIED. And watching it run is SO cool! The anatomy is fantastic- I mean, I wouldn't know if it was perfect or not, but its really neat how they're exposing the elegant biomechanics behind the human form, you know?
the female titan is running up on Shallot and co
It must be Annie and Reiner... but WHY?! Why would they do this, why would they be a part of this cabal? And Erwin KNOWS about it! He knows something's up. That's why he organized things the way he did, and that's why he organized this sojourn. UGh! The questions are killing me!

if you're not even impressed by the animation, music and the action then you should quit now. judging from your comment tho, you only watched the very beginning.

I'm finally caught up with this show.
I guess I'm glad that I watched all the plot-advancing episodes at once. Now I'm ready for some Three-Dimensional Maneuvers and shit.

Considering that Joshikohei by Jiro Matsumoto is one of his favorite mangas, Im surprised that he hasnt read / watched the series sooner. Then again dude has got to be so busy its really no surprise at the same time he doesnt have much free time. Am a fan of Jiro Matsumotos mangas also and have the current issues of Jigoku no Alice and Joshikohei. Had originally found out about Joshikohei from Kojimas blog, when he did a post on it a long while back.

Its pretty interesting to see how the Attack on Titan series has gotten so much attention worldwide though.

A Kojima-made AoT game actually has a chance of not sucking, unlike the one that was hastily announced last month to cash in on the current popularity.

Theres a bunch of other visual novel ones out on the mobile platforms currently. I didnt look at them myself but a friend of mine whos still in the industry was telling me about it, when we were talking about this series and game related whatnots.
Is this like Saltybet? The rule is "Never bet on Titan."?
Happens all the time with the GoT and Walking Dead threads, so I'm guessing that yes, it's legit too hard for some folks.

More speculation:
Perhaps it has something to do with
the severity of how much they get injured? Remember when Eren got his leg and arm bitten off? He transformed into a fully skinned titan. When he only bites his hand when blocking the cannonball he only turned into a titan with muscles/bones. Or maybe the human titans are simply special? Who knows!? If Reiner is the armoured titan wouldn't that mean he would have transformed into it when he was crushed by the female titan? Perhaps they can control if they transform when they're injured? Speaking of Reiner......I watched episode 17 again and the female titan looks at her hand when Reiner escapes, could he have given her a note on Eren's location while in her hand? She also has a smug look on her face right before she grabs him.

I might need to rewatch some episodes then. Thanks!
Yep, this is exactly what I think. About that
Colossal Titan, I think it might be that guy Felman who tried to kill Eren with the cannonballs or one of the 5 that appear on the OP2. To be honest, it has to be one of the young ones so I'm not sure Felman could be, but is all speculation. Damn, the wait is killing me.
He likes Twilight.He likes the same things we like.
We only have to make it through 9 more eps!

My guess as to who the colossal titan might be =
Bertholdt. The faces are similar. Him being in the credits with Annie, Reiner and Ymir is also suspicious.
So much speculation, I don't know what to expect anymore. Speaking of the
female titan, it would make sense for it to be Annie so they can have a scene where Titan Eren tries to fight her but gets knocked down by her superior close-combat skills, making Armin go all "could it be?!"

Yup. I spent a couple hours on the wiki tonight, spoiling the show for myself. There are definitely manga readers shitting all over this thread, fronting as master titan detectives. People are better off not reading anything tagged as a spoiler.

I dont know anything about the manga. I give you my word on that whatever its worth.

If so, we've truly reached the sediment on the bottom of the internet.
I'd generally assume that's not the case, although I like that someone was at least called out as such a few pages back, possibly because you can check someone's post history of evidence if they said they've read the manga.
Deliberately posting spoilers in a non-spoiler thread? There's no grave shallow enough for the likes of them.
That's what's killing me. I want to know more! Their purpose and how does Erwin know?! What's really going on, big picture wise.
Doesn't make much sense, the part of the main super titan. What do they gain by attacking themselves?
Remember that Eren go beat up real bad in court and he had already regened his tooth back by the end of the episode.
Also, if we go by those theories
then that dude that is always with Reiner, in the OP and ED and in the show, must be a titan too. Don't remember his name but he's the skinny tall dude.
To me it's more about the reveal of their purpose and when they get found out. Not so much who's a titan since it's clear that there's quite a few of them.
Yeah, I guess keeping speculation out of this thread (or simply not reading about it) could help. That way, if none of us are talking about possible plot events, who's a titan and all that stuff then it'd be a lot harder for someone to post what's going to happen under the guise of it being mere speculation.
Anyway, I definitely feel like the show has picked up the peace since the whole Trost arc. Now it seems like deaths are a lot cheaper since they're only killing people we barely get to know, and the show's going further towards a conspiracy plot rather than "OMG, we're all doomed!". Hopefully, it keeps up until the season's end, at the very least.
I agree. That was a dumb joke.
I'm just reading everything as pure speculation and if they're right then they were right on the money. I hope it's not intentional...
Perhaps that works as well. With all the speculation going on at the moment, it looks like the only ones who can actually tell who are spoiling things are the people who've read the manga/wiki.
Both speculation and real spoilers seem the same to us who still remain unspoiled, so even if one of the speculations was a thinly veiled spoiler, we'd at best remember someone posted something like that in this thread (at least in my case).

It's kinda beautiful to see in motion even if she's an antagonist - is this how Sephiroth and Loki fangirls feel like?...
Welcome to the attack on titans thread, where gaffers find new and innovative ways of spoiling the plot via direct spoilers, nudging and winking, or inadvertently confirming speculation (like this post)
This thread should be burnt to the ground, and be reborn from the ashes as a banhammer wielding phoenix.

And yet I'm the one who hasn't and still get called out by manga readers who basically tried to spoil everything in an effort to annoy me. At what point does speculation turn into "Everyone is a troll" lets just ban all speculation and assume they're here to spoil? I mean I wasn't trying to spoil, or even confirm anything. I liked to speculate, I didn't catch up to SnK till a few months ago and nobody around to talk about it.
Because you explicitly pointed out something saying "HEY DID YOU NOTICE X", which wasn't "obvious" to a lot of us watching for the first time, preventing us from discovering it on our own or being blindsided by it on the show. Please stop making yourself a martyr, if you don't understand why that's a problem, you simply shouldn't be posting in these threads. I post in the GoT spoiler-free thread as a book reader, but I'm always super careful to only talk about what's been seen on the show, and when I clarify things, it's always about explaining things that have already occurred and that are explicitly public knowledge.
You may like to "speculate", but you AREN'T SPECULATING. That's the problem. Go to the Manga thread if you want to do that!

I didn't specify which users/posts purposely to avoid confirming which ones are legit.
I really think you guys are over thinking this. I think the look of the colossal titan and armored titan are just design decisions to distinguish them as awesome looking antagonists. When Eren blocked the cannonball it was a quick and incomplete transformation so he wasn't fully formed. As far as
the titan looking at its hand it was because it was destroyed and it was just looking at its ravaged remains before regenerating.
I think it has to do with their intention when they transform. Annie focused on speed and agility, perhaps, while Reiner focused on being a tank. It's also reflective of their base physiologies/personalities.
Sucks if that's the case. Similar things happened in the GoT thread
