Can't believe it isn't gif'd yet actually....
Of course he isn't dead. Who actually believes he died? The Titans mysteriously disappeared, Armin was conveniently too shocked to remember what actually happened right after the Titan shut its mouth... of course Eren's alive. I've watched way too many animes to be fooled for a second. We're going to see how he slashes through the back of the Titan's neck with his other good hand come next episode.
This is all pure speculation, of course.
I was just being a good sport about keeping up the suspense for the kids.
I am of course way to savvy to be fooled for even a minute.

Speaking about Armin... all I could think about when they said his name this episode was that damn gif.
As soon as they said his name, I instinctively thought "Armout."
I laughed a little.
Yeah that was super nice. Loved that.

Goddamn. Welp. This show delivered and it's already the 6th episode.
Episode 6
Goddamn. Excellent episode. Better than episode 5 even. Episode 5 had the shock factor but this episode had FEELS + BADASSERY which puts it higher in my book.
I didn't expect young Eren to be such a badass.
. I have to say I disagree entirely with the people who have complained about Eren. I think he's a great character and things like this cement why I like him. He's really brash but I still love his actions and he gives people what they have coming.
Mikasa was also great this episode.
Edit: GIFS for all.
And two spoilerific ones:

Serves those assholes right
If those guys just got arrested that'd be lame as hell. No, Eren decides to kill those fuckers.

I'm surprised to see them pacing it as slow as they are, but it works perfectly, as it's really allowing each scenario to sink in, and the drama to be that more more poignant. Eren kinda had the

Really good ep.
The OST keeps showing itself better and better too. Dat Hiroyuki

Attack on Titan - 06
After contextualizing the entire episodeof backstory and Mikasa's last line about Eren...
It
was pretty corny, but it is apt; the girl's broken as hell; bizarre, obsessive, basically corny lines regarding fawning over Eren

Oh man next week is going to be so good when Mikasa finds out Eren is dead.
Not to mention the
big blood stain in the long shot.

Episode 6 Thoughts
Btw Armin is still useless and he one of my most hated characters right now. So whiney and doesn't even do anything. I know its a terrible scenario and the titans make it feel like the world's crashing down, but he literally overreacts. At some point you have to put your big boy pants on and realize that this is the world I live in and its time to fight to survive, kinda like Eren mostly thinks.
Now that my gifs work now, I wanna post my fav scene from AOT. I love these movements they do <3
At first I thought it was going to be a horrible episode because I saw them looking in their past. When actually it was a pretty good past episode. I would've never guesses that Eren killed a man before, and I also never knew that because of him saving the girl is the reason she likes him so much. A lot of things were shown this episode that made a lot of stuff make a lot of sense. Now I'm just waiting for the inevitable Eren's dad to appear in this story. I know he has to do a lot more then show up every few seconds.

Just started watching this yesterday and got hooked! I'm reading the manga now, no way I have the willpower to wait a few weeks to see how they get out of this mess.

Started reading the manga, no regrets. Anime only watchers haven't seen shit. Stuff is about to go down.
I don't know if I can take much more....
Just hang in there, mate. The anime is so much better than the original material. It'll all be worth the wait.
You'll have to wait years to see how they get out of this mess. Whether you read the manga or not is irrelevant.

Meh, I'm reading the manga now and have no regrets, some serious shit is going down. I do agree that the anime is a much better way to experience this than the manga, but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy the anime episodes when they air.
They didn't but people who look carefully at the shots will notice.

One advantage of a late adaptation of a monthly manga is you tend to be hazy on early details, so it isn't fresh in your mind when the anime comes around.

It was supposed to be a shocking, you-will-understand-what's-going-on-100% kind of scene, though.
Yeah, FUNi's delayed too. Another "materials delay" which means their production is still down to the wire every week.

does that mean the episode isnt finished? then how did a lot of people see episode 6? or does that just mean its an issue specifically with crunchyroll and FUNi?
NP, enjoy!
Just the point that
he's dead and she's trying to save the person she loves in vain is strong enough. It just adds to it when you realize half of his body is missing.
Probably means they got their working raw from the studio at the very last second. Their priority would be getting it to the stations rather than some overseas streaming distributor.
It's the same situation as to why the Fukuoka and Hokkaido networks have been broadcasting incomplete versions of the episodes even though they only air it 2 days later. Different broadcasters have their own deadlines for submission of materials due to various reasons. In the case of FUNi and CR, they're online streaming services so they can afford to wait for the finished materials even if it means a delay in streaming. The Japanese viewers in the Fukuoka and Hokkaido regions aren't so lucky, so they have to settle for an unfinished version which gets submitted to the broadcasters earlier.
They're basically working down to the wire here, probably finishing the episodes within the day or within hours of it broadcasting on the primary station on Saturday nights.
I would love to see a video recording all of this. I just imagine someone with a whip waiting any time someone falls asleep.
Took the middle one. Thanks.

Some Sojiro-esque movement. That dash.
I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't read the manga
I assumed what was going on in that scene correctly upon first watching it, but the manga had a completely different tone with that scene, the horror was immediately apparent and obvious.

Terrible episode.
I sat like this
during the entire thing.
No worries, people have wrong opinions all the time

I thought it was pretty clear what was going on, based on Armin's reaction and my knowledge of how every single scene in a war movie like that plays out.
