Attack on Titan episodes 10-16

Wow, this show just keeps bringing the intensity and the craziness. The two trials Erin had, the insanity of the people around him and the dangerous missions he had to go on, just wow.

Although I think this show is starting to repeat itself with the whole, people questioning the ethics of Eren cooperating and then going off on a big mission requiring his powers sort of thing.

And wow, Levi is pretty fucking hardcore. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually killed someone at some point lol. Compared to him, the rest of the OG Scouts look like casuals. But what is up with that Titan Experiment chick? I mean, I find it interesting that the Titans rely on sunlight and there could be a really cool subplot involving Titan experimentation, but nope, someone killed the experiments.

Also, some really needed character development on the squad leader guy and the rest of Eren's friends is always nice.

Episode 17

So I have a prediction of who the female Titan is. Dunno if everyone at this point in the show guessed it or not but here it goes I think the female titan is Armin's mother, who somehow got transformed into a Titan, whether through Eren's dad's serum or through some other way. The blonde hair, the fact it didn't hurt Armin, it knows the weak spot on its neck, it doesn't eat humans but kills them if it tries to hurt her and it's looking for Eren to me all directly point to her.

I thought that too. Hoped it actually. But I read the wiki page ATA, and sadly it isn't. You'll be shocked at who the Titans are. That's all I'm saying. If you want a hint as to who the female Titan is, PM or Visitor Message me and I'll tell ya.

I'm on Episode 20 right now, where they are going to cut open the neck, so I won't ask who in particular. But I hope it's not someone who died off screen and didn't hear about their death to cheapen the reveal.

Episode 18

So they're going into the forest to maneuver around huh? Sounds pretty nifty. At first I thought going into the forest was a way to block the Titans from getting at the center due to the trees being so dense or something but nope. But alright.

Episode 19

More flashbacks, yay! I don't know, the last episode ended with the intense chase between the Female Titan and the Elite Scouts, and having the flash back loosen that tension, you know? 17 and 18 had a really nice suspension build with the oh shit factor slowly going up as the situation got worse and worse but to do something that could have easily been in a few episodes ago does bug me. I know that's probably how the manga was structured, but the showrunners could have made it flow better. But we do find out more about Eren's abilities and the elite scouts, which is nice. But that final blast of harpoon things on the Female Titan was fucking outstanding.

Attack on Titan episode 20

Wait so the female Titan has an extra armor capability on her hands? What? You'd think that with her advanced nature she's have something more practical like a much harder to cut nape.

A traitor within the ranks, huh? Sounds scary to me. I really can't think out of the 3 characters they showed who knew about the female Titan operation who would be the one to be the traitor. It can't overly excited Titan torture girl, that'd be too obvious. I don't want to think it's Levi either, but the Titan did roar after he said mocked it, meaning there could be some hidden messaging going on. It could be the Commander maybe....

And at the end of the episode they showed the person in the female Titan had the scout gear on. So at some point, it has to be someone who has been in the scouts and died, or knew someone in the scouts to get that outfit. But we really didn't meet any scouts that were suspicious prior to this arc, so I am at a loss.

Episode 21

HOLY. FUCK.

Speaking of an armored nape....

I did not see that coming, Eren losing the fight against the Female Titan. I thought he would have made a stalemate at least. But him getting eaten whole kinda gives me hope that he's still alive in there somewhere, since I don't think they ever said Eren's Titan had a stomach at all, let alone an acidic one like he was in when he was first eaten.

And damn, the Elite scouts dying too? I was starting to like them a bit, especially Petra, with her funny pissing her pants line towards the end. And Eren moping about his comrades dying. I can understand his regret of not doing it earlier, but all 3 of the remaining Elite's assault on the female Titan defintley gave Eren an advantage for a bit.

Episode 22

Yay they rescued Eren!

Damn, that was a downer, watching all those dead bodies go and hearing all the people disappointed by the Scouts, sayng they are a waste of the taxpayer money when they're trying to save all of fuckin' humanity. Even sadder to hear Levi was gonna get married to Petra.

I can't even think of what the hell they are going to do for the last 3 episodes of the season. Sounds like Eren is gonna go back into the government's custody again, but after that there's only 2 episodes left. What could they possibly do to end the season off good? Actually, I've heard this season has a noncanon ending now that season 2 is a thing, so I'm gonna have to look up something either way.

Episode 23

Oh this is different, an escape rather then a plea this time. Huh. Also helps to fill out the World with the corruption and whatnot seen in the first half.

I knew I had suspicions of Annie being the female Titan because of the way they had similar designs, but I was thinking that was too on the nose. But why wanting to work with the Titans?

Episode 24

Mainly action and flashbacks, but it was really really good to see the plan come together. Hopefully Annie can be incapacitated as well and we can find out who she's working for as well.

Episode 25

You know for a season finale, that was all climatic and stuff, but it didn't give me answers. I t gave me hope and resolution, but it didn't give me answers. Can't believe it took the author 3 years to write this shit. I mean, it's good, but it's such a long time to reveal nothing. And yes, I know that over the course of the show we learned a lot about human Titans and the bigger plan, but they were just that, hints.

The fact its an OVA probably means that they can't.

WhiteRanger · 08-02-2015, 10:10 AM

On another note I finished elfen lied just as much fun as I rember it while it played on the propeller TV anime network block. I even enjoyed the OVA only grip I had I will just past what I said bout it on fave book here.

Ok when did elfen lied OVA Gotten dub cause some new VA are Ok but it doubt sound right. Lucy VA for the OVA is ok but not as good as the orginal for the main anime. Ok 3 of orginal VA are in it but mayu has her original VA but she sound different. Also Kota new va sound a bit off.

I finished watching the last two episodes of Urotsukidoji III: Return of the Overfiend last night. I'm glad that episode 3 did a big recap of the last two episodes since I haven't watch the first episodes in a while. I'm rather hit or miss on this one to be honest. The animation is pretty good for a OVA from the early 90's while shots looks really cheap and horrible. The part where Tatsuo as the Overfiend destroying Japan is really col and feels like a classic Kajiu film. The post-apocalypse setting is neat and Buju is pretty bad ass.

However I feel like the rest of the main cast was pretty weak and I didn't find Caesar to be that great. Faust was kinda cool, but we didn't know much about his character. I did wish Megumi was in this one more often since she had a big role as the main character in the second movie. I like this one a bit better then Legend of the Demon Womb, but I still think the first Urotsukidoji is the best. Now I have three more of Urotsukidoji stuff to finish. I still have to finish Parasyte since I haven't watch it in a while.
