...pssh.Unleash giant and terrible beasts on the world and have them hunt and kill humans as prey, this way humankind will come together and "evolve" into better humans in order to defeat the beasts.
I still think Naruto goes from "boy with potential" to "literally our only hope" way too quickly.
Well it's mostly due to Tsunade being Hokage and her crippling need for Naruto to realize the dreams of her younger brother and fiance.
Unleash giant and terrible beasts on the world and have them hunt and kill humans as prey, this way humankind will come together and "evolve" into better humans in order to defeat the beasts.
So they want to live in Attack on Titan world then

The Maze Runner takes it a step further but is somewhat similar.
They kidnap kids who are immune to becoming zombies and have them run through mazes with giant monsters and traps in them because... they think this will stimulate brain activity that will allow them to find what makes them immune???
Why not just have them do math problems or logic puzzles to study their brain activity? Why kill the people immune to becoming zombies?

Adrenaline?
Isn't this just a variation of Watchmen?Unleash giant and terrible beasts on the world and have them hunt and kill humans as prey, this way humankind will come together and "evolve" into better humans in order to defeat the beasts.

Shoot them up with a stimulant then.
Actually killing immune people seems bad.

Except the monsters in Watchmen were fake.

The plot of Maze Runner makes no sense no matter how hard they try to justify it.
They should be studying the kids immune system not study their neurological system.

Well, Pain's plan is basically what happened in the real world with the accumulation of nukes. Peace achieved through mutually assured destruction. Of course, each village already has a tailed beast, so that plan makes no sense
so Kishimoto had to come up with something else.
I guess I'm watching these episodes mostly for the first time.you know, is there anybody else watching GitS for the first time, or is it just me?
I don't think many people understand how evolution actually works
"Unnatural Evolution" is also a pretty common trope.
My favorite villains off-hand, both from video games, are
Albedo (Xenosaga) and, oddly, Richter from Tales of Symphonia 2. They have some similarities
the direction this episode is already looking pretty good
like e.g., an equally valid alternative is to become cowards and hide from monsters, and surely that's not the goal?
oh, ok.I guess I'm watching these episodes mostly for the first time.
the thing is, even if evolution worked that quickly, there's no guarantee that humans would become stronger"Unnatural Evolution" is also a pretty common trope.

A politician might have some connection to Russians with shady intentions, hmm
This episode has become oddly relevant.

Togusa almost got his head sliced off, and then almost impaled.
And exploded
He's having a bad night.
EDIT: So, she's Putin?
& then just walks down the sidewalk with cars passing by.She took a cab? As the most wanted woman in the nation?
such incredible math, Aramaki
wasn't that the Russian embassy? I suppose she intended to flee there, where the Japanese police couldn't do anything to her, but they literally shut the door in her face& then just walks down the sidewalk with cars passing by.

Don't be too excited about the 1 am slot. That's more a technicality than anything else.
Four more episodes of Attack on Titan? I wonder if we'll get confirmation of a show replacement at some Anime Expo panel.
We don't know what's replacing AoT even.
Did they already announce what Tokyo Ghoul is getting replaced with?

No, we've still got the 12 episode Season 2 to deal with.Did they already announce what Tokyo Ghoul is getting replaced with?
That's my bet, considering Anime Expo is the first weekend of July & AoT ends 2 weeks after.Four more episodes of Attack on Titan? I wonder if we'll get confirmation of a show replacement at some Anime Expo panel.
No, we've still got the 12 episode Season 2 to deal with.
Wait, they said we're doing season 2 right away? GODDAMN IT
Weren't the Anbu supposed to be special forces and Black ops team of the ninja world, why are they such scrubsI'm sure ANBU will succeed this time.
I guess what happens when you used them as measuring sticks for your bad guys that they end up being useless
