Anime Spring 2013 - Page 5

At the beginning of the thread, I described Suisei no Gargantia as "a story about being lost in the world." There were other words; I realize now they obscure what I meant. This week's episode was very much about the kind of stuff one thinks about in finding their place on this planet Earth, obviously exaggerated by space-type things. What I'm saying is that this episode is the kind of thing I was hoping Urobuchi wasn't lying about the show being when he described what it would be about.

Yeah, Gargantia's latest episode was pretty great.

Attack on Titan 04
RESOLVE.

I'm somewhat disappointed in this barbeque episode of Gargantia and I hope the people chasing Ledo around get some more screen time to establish them as actual people rather than living punchlines. I wanted to praise the episode for its creative actualization of a beach episode on a planet-wide ocean, but then it has to pull that.

Attack on Titan 05
I kind of expected a lot of deaths, but now I'm expecting Eren to simply explode in pure anger and somehow live through that.
Suisei no Gargantia 05
It's kind of weird to go from watching a guy wanting to hellmurder an entire species to a fanservice beach episode, with ridiculous transvestites thrown in.

Im finally catching up with Attack on Titan, i'm on episode 3 and i must say... i really really surprised. This is shaping up to be a great show. This is really engaging to watch.

So Haruto saved the day by growling at the enemy, came up with a new low-level special move that doesn't even work; and can't dress himself properly, spell his own name, or successfully drown himself in a sink. He's officially a joke character now, right?

Also, after watching Kouga and Scrappy get bloodlessly stabbed, like, twenty times, I'm starting to reconsider my initial enthusiasm about the Pallasites each having signature weapons.

Haruto is, by all intents and purposes, the most ridiculous character of all... and i love him for it. I mean, he has some real cool badass momments (His battle with Tokisada AND in this episode). It shows a side of the Saints never touched in the original work... the fact that these are kids, born and raise to die fighting for and against gods, and when the battle is done, the world will never know who they were or that they even existed. The fact that Haruto and kouga swallow that bittersweet pill is kinda of a character momment that i really really enjoy... but then you have to remember that the Wolf Saint with the Cool voice is also a NINJA named HARUTO, and on the second season he awakens to the power of Rock and Roll.

He is like Ishida Uryuu if his battle powers WERE actually magical sewing and needle point work...

Just saw attack on Titan ep 5... what the fuck.

Attack on Titan 06 is out and i like it more every episode. Don't even want to stumble on wikis or the manga to not spoil myself... hope the anime won't disappoint when the big twist is out.

I mean, it's speculatory on my end, but it seems pretty obivous so far that both Eren and Mikasa were being experimented on by the Doctor with some sort of "Giant juice". It's danglign right in front of the audience over and over about Eren's resistance (and now even a clear opportunity to show some regeneration) And Mikaza's super strenght... all dorment in them.

Also, having them being "half-giant" or whatever, actually seems like the only possible way for them to even have a chance fighting hundreds of thoses things... specially the Shadow of the Colossus types....

Close but....

It is only Eren, and way more extreme then you think. Mikasa is just that good.

Really!?

Cause i thought that she would indeed be the "Greatest Warrior" and such.... until this episode where she breaks the grip of the knife with her hand and the floorboard with he step... that just screamed "Super soldier" to me. But should be fun either way.

Specially now that they are Brother and sister except not really which opens up potential for a whole lot of fuckassary a'la Sword Art Online for shipping those two together...

Also this anime reminds me of a better Valkyria Chronicles... guess i really like War-Type stories...
