I believe it takes 5 spam marks to hide a post lol…

AOT big spoiler…all the titans turn gay and butt sex each other to oblivion.

But they don’t have genitals…

Attack on Titan 21:

Spoiler

Fool me once, AoT, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. IMO Eren getting eaten is pretty whatever. We all know what happened last time he was eaten alive, so I don’t really care about that at all. The fact that he lost was somewhat surprising I guess, since it looked like he was winning before he just randomly lost for whatever reason. Overall pretty good episode. It was hype and had my blood pumping, despite the end result of the fight.

Yup, no genitalia, not possible. Best that could happen is unlimited motorboating I’m afraid.

[details=Spoiler]Eh, we all know he’s alive, probably why no one’s really addressed that moment. I mean, I don’t know much about what the Female Titan wants, but I’m almost a hundred that she doesn’t want to kill him. Hence why she swallowed him whole despite not having an appetite for humans (whereas with Eldo she munched him in half and spat out his remains). If she wanted to kill him she could of flattened him against a tree like she’s done to over half the Survey Corps. Actually not once did she really look like she wanted to fight. I suppose she just wanted to snatch Eren and gtfo

One thing I’m curious about though, right before she decapitated Eren’s Titan, he had this look of surprise, not even like “omg I lost” but genuine shock. Even so much so that we got a snapshot of Eren within his Titan looking just as surprised. Found it a little peculiar[/details]

This.seriously i rewatched that part like 2 or 3 times to try and figure out why he was so shocked.and the fight scene was pretty godlike even though eren got bodied free

[spoiler=]If the Titans are planning stuff like Armin believes it’s possible the female Titan wants to recruit Eren to cause as he’s one of them. A good reason for wanting him alive[/details]

Spoiler

He had that look of realization. I was thinking he might’ve got a glimpse who it was. Either way it stunned him to the point where he didn’t even react to her strike. And yeah, that fight was definitely up there. Really gives you a feel of the scale. Music also helped a ton. That track, XL-TT I think, holy shit it’s epic

Spoiler

That’s a pretty good guess considering they make Armin’s deductions almost always accurate. I suppose his power is required for something. The only plainly obvious thing to me

AoT#21

Spoiler

On the Eren spazzing out talk. I think he just hit his limit. If you’ve ever worked/exercised yourself to death you’d understand that “shit gotta throw up” feeling that i think he was going through. It makes sense too since he still hasn’t mastered his Titan powers yet and going all Kyojin mode is definitely no cake walk atm

Yep he hit the wall.

Time for more conditioning drills

AOT 21

Spoiler

I feel its because all this time he/we all felt that once he turned titan, shit was a wrap, he probably felt like he could handle any situation as long as he was in that form. so to be outwitted and defeated like that, i think he was brought to reality, that he is not some special being, and if anything, he is a nub, cause that other dude knew how to do alot of advanced shit.

Pack it up.

Miyazaki retiring doesn’t have anything to do with the uproar from him acting all Bill Cosby over the China/Japan island dispute? Pretty tasteless if Japan pressured him into retirement.

Shingeki no Kyojin 21:

Spoiler

The thing is, we know what happened last time Eren was swallowed whole by a Titan… The Titan did not have a good day that day. Haha

Why would they pressure him to retire…seems stupid to force a icon in movie making for a entire country to GTFO.

Dude’s 72, it’s okay if he wants to retire. He’s earned it. It shouldn’t come off as so much of a surprise.

and it will be to this song:

Man, Japan does stupid shit. Just questioning his announcement so soon after the fallout from his comments ( about a month or two ago).

I’ll leave this here instead of steering off-topic (oh my fuck it’s Kotaku) http://kotaku.com/hayao-miyazaki-called-anti-japanese-a-traitor-and-865643505

RIP Santitan

SnK/AoT needs its own thread.
