FIRST TIME WATCHING: Attack on Titan S1E11, 12, & 13

Regarding any end credit scenes, once you see "To be continued..." in an episode you're good. A few episodes have end credit scenes, in which case you won't see "To be continued..." until after those scenes.

No spoilers, the reason ep13 had some weird animation was that they were rushed for time to get it out for the tv release and missed animating some scenes, and Crunchyroll uses the tv release version. Those weird freeze frames near Jean's escape are because of that. You dont miss much, basically that titan jumps up to eat Jean and Annie flykick's it down so Jean can go over the top. The scenes are fixed in the BluRay version, but for some reason Crunchyroll doesn't replace the tv version here.

man can't wait for Nat to continue in a couple weeks. She's so locked in, it's going to be amazing getting into S1 part 2 and S2

Nat I hope don't read the comments some disgusting people spoil to much

Imo this is the slowest part of the whole show. The Trost arc is glacial to me, but after this the slower parts of the show you’re still picking up valuable information.

Loving your AoT journey! Considering you have to stop for a while, you couldn't have picked a better place to stop in season 1, as it's the end of the battle of trost. One small thing about episode 11; The reason why Connie (buzz cut guy) is confused is not because he didn't know Eren could do the Titan thing. I believe it was because Pyxis said that Eren was a part of a "top secret research program" (or something), which is lie. Pyxis probably said that when introducing Eren to the army because he wanted it to seem more legitimate and reliable, as opposed to the truth, which was that both Eren and everyone else didn't know anything about it until a couple hours before that moment. Connie was confused probably because if Eren had been part of this top secret research he would have noticed because he just spent the part three years training with him. Or at least that is my reading of it. Aside from that, good luck with everyting until next time!

Welcome to another classic anime trope, the filler episode 😆. Attack on Titan is actually better than a lot of popular anime when it comes to that, if you can believe it. I've seen entire episodes of Dragonball Z where nobody even moves.

Ugh we have to wait so long for the next episodes lol

this is driving me nuts. there are no armored "titans" there is just the one, as far as everyone knows. there is the colossal titan, the one that first destroyed the wall and again a few episodes back, and then there is the armored titan that destroyed the inner wall back in episode 2. theyre not common, thats why its a big deal theyve showed up and why their 100 years of peace was shattered, because of these unique titans

Hey Natalie, if you’re enjoying this series you might like the anime Vinland Saga. The authors are friends and their works share some similar themes, though imo Vinland Saga is much more hopeful in those themes. You might like it!

To comment on whether the animation gets better in the later seasons. Both yes and no, the still images you keep complaining about will still be present in the later seasons, that's just a result of the medium as a whole; every anime has this. That's just a result of the philosophy in Japanese animation. They use a form called "limited animation" to save time and budget. This approach focuses on just certain scenes and moments for smooth movement, so that the action or moment will have a bigger impact. While the rest of the scenes take a backseat Western animation focuses mostly on what is called ¨Full animation¨, which focuses on smooth movement throughout the whole episode or movie.

I wonder how Marco died 🤔 hehe the twists begin

Godamn this show moves so much slower than I remember. I promise there is less talking and more action and twists later. But fully agree its starting to get annoying with how much constant downtime and repetitive self doubt there is.

Loving these reactions and hoping you see it through to the end!!

Man it's such a shame that Crunchyroll is still using the version of this episode with incomplete animations during that Jean/Annie scene.

Happy Titan Thursday Nat. You can finally rest easy. The boulder was moved 🤣

if the episode doesn't end with a ''to be continued...'' it has and end credit scene. that's the best marker.

Levi will be your Zuko i won't go into details but yeah.
