It's worth to note that in order to experience the "true" Muv-Luv you have to get throught Extra and Unlimited, that probably won't be what you want if you want something similar to Titans.
Also Alternative is overrated and the pay off is not worth.

Ep.6
SO FUCKING GOOD

It wasn't the same house in the manga either.
In the manga it looks like he went upstairs.
Edit:Never mind, you're right. I went back and looked at the background. The Mikasa house has a garden next to it.

You're right, I just did. I guess it's an issue in the manga as well.
Man this show is fantastic, finally caught up today.
Episode 6 Spoilers:
Edit: Okay, trying to decide whether to read the manga or not. I can definitely still appreciate an anime adaptation after reading the manga, but I love being genuinely surprised. Gah!
Episode 6 Spoilers:
Man Eren has done some shit, he actually came across rather reckless and psychotic in that flashback. The racial stuff they introduced was fairly interesting, disgusting how humans are going to be humans regardless of the circumstances around them. Seeing the backstory on Mikasa was very interesting, the explanation for her skills was some straight Grappler Baki shit. Also man that abnormal was weird. The titans continue to disturb me, the goofiness of some of them just comes off as creepy and I love it. I really want to see how the tide will be turned, the deck is just so stacked. Man I'm tempted to just read the manga at this point. Knowing now that the Titans only eat humans beings, for no known reason makes things downright malicious

I second this. That guy was bat shit insane.
Yeah, I see that I read it wrong now.
Episode 6
Wow. Sooooo good. They're doing a fairly good job stopping their production issues from showing. I thought everything in this episode was handled quite well. It covered a bit less material than I expected, but everything was paced basically perfectly, so I can't really complain.
Once again I'm reminded how much the dimension of sound is adding to this adaptation. Between the soundwork, the all-star VA cast, and the phenomenal OST, this show is a real treat for the ears. Also, Armin's VA deserves (another) pat on the back. I like Ymir's, too.

Mikasa's flashback was fantastic, and her stopping that titan was cool as fuck. Gif where?

I caught up on the show over the last two days. So fucking good. Can't wait for tomorrow.
You wanna edit your text then?

I'm pretty ok if this has become the standard for Attack on Titan episodes. While there are issues with character art consistency, I don't think it's awful. Generally the shot composition has made up for it IMO. The action has been good thus far, so as long as that doesn't fall to shit, I think the show'll be fine.
As for episode 06, I really enjoyed it. I had no problems with the length of the flashback either.

the flashback was amazing. I am sooooo fine with Mikasa being the main character. Before this episode I didn't know what to expect from Mikasa since we had not seen anything. After this episode, holy shit. Here is our main character that kicks ass, about time she showed up! That titan kill was so fucking clean it was awesome. The flashback really shows why she held Eren so close, Eren kicked some major ass in this episode, being cool and brave. And also fucking awesome, when Mikasa managed complete control over her body, that scene was awesome as hell! But why did she have to go and say that at the end of the episode?! Wonder how she's gonna take the news.

Do it. I just finished catching up, and the manga is pretty epic. There are some bits from the anime that end up being scattered around to different parts of the manga (flashbacks, side-stories and such), but it's a great read.
And you will be genuinely surprised OMGholyshit.

It's not the run that bothers me but how awful the person who gets sent flying looks
Great episode. Not a second of filler that I could notice, just the way I like it. Great to see after my other favorite recent shounen series Beelzebub got so fucked over in the anime adaptation.
Not cutting to the reveal of Franz' lower half being gone was a little disappointing, the camera tricks don't really work if you leave that out. Surprisingly good job with Mikasa's mother's death though.

May as well read the manga. The anime ending is going to be horrible. I'm sure it'll either be a "and we'll keep fighting and we'll win!" or a massive cliff-hanger.
Oh yea they definitely fucked that scene up.
Oh god, so some Claymore shit? That would suck. Yeah I'm leaning towards reading this. I've been a kaiju fan my whole life and I've always wanted to see something this dark in the genre. The Spider-man antics just enhance everything.
I probably would have read this years ago, if I knew it fucking existed. Kinda salty, this shit has been around since 09 and I only heard about it within the last month or two!

They sort of did, but the shot they use isn't nearly as clear as it should be.
The wider shot that has the both of them in frame shows that his body doesn't go past where her leg is, but if you're not looking for it, it's way more difficult to make out.

So no one is going to respond but instead keep talking about the episode? Not cool.
Nahh...I doubt that.

Mikasa for sure should have been the main character. Being the only
character in the show just ramps up her awesomeness.
Also I totally knew she was going to be the only one.

I didn't notice the guy in that scene flew when I was watching the episode, I thought he was stepped on but I guess that running animation really threw me off. I also like the music that was played as Mikasa made her decision in the flashback, anyway I can't wait for next week to pick up where things left off last ep.

Great music this episode, and we got some character development (Eren is
and Mikasa's scarf gives her superpowers). Can't wait for the next episode.
As for the production... the stills don't really bother me as long as the fight sequences are good. But it does seem like they've got some serious efficiency problems.

FUNimation doesn't have exclusive streaming rights for it. Both FUNimation and Crunchyroll are streaming it (and Crunchyroll seems to be doing a better job of it so far). This does indicate that FUNimation is interested in the home video rights for the show though, but they have not announced that they acquired them yet. It's a big title, so it might take a while for negotiations.

WTF? They don´t show what happened to Eren. Nice back story though.

I thought this episode was pretty good. The
was the perfect length to leave things on an interesting note. That said I'm really looking forward to next week's episode.

Seems like they're doing a pretty straight adaptation of this arc. The art was a little bit better this week, and it was pretty entertaining, even with the weird pacing. The Mikasa flashback was nicely done, they certainly faithfully captured

Eren's rather psycho attitude and Mikasa's moment of revelation.

The ending sequence/song was already great, but seeing it after this episode was downright perfect....

Awesome episode. Looks like Mikasa will be the main character moving forward with flashbacks about Eren. This show is so unpredictable.
