Oh, the action isn't as over the top as Black Lagoon. But it still has some pretty bad-ass fights that aren't what you would call 'realistic.'

 

Yeah, but not to the point of Black Lagoon.

 

Added to my "to watch" list.

 

 

So when I used AoT (sorry House, remember I still love it to pieces) as an example of 'bad pacing' it's because far too often does it decide to drag an episode with a backstory that could have been used elsewhere.

 

To be fair, when someone experiences a flashback and what triggers it might be important from a character development standpoint too.

 

So when you say "unfitting", I disagree.

After all,

Spoiler

Eren "died" and Mikasa is grounded, unable to vent her anger on the titans. As she's lying there, a flashback to when they first met seems entirely fitting.

 

EDIT: SPoiler'd

Though it does go well because this episode is meant to be slow, the entire flashback in one huge information clump that could have been established beforehand. Remember, as of now we think that Eren is dead, so the audience that was invested in him would be at an emotional low, or at least, they won't care anymore. It *is* about Mikasa, but it's not only *just* her

 

It's about their relationship and it even reveals to us a lot about what kind of person Eren is.  So there's character development for two people when one is thought to be dead.

 

See where I'm getting at?

 

The flashback DOES serve a purpose, of course it does. It tells us ALOT of needed info on Mikasa. But when half of its 'purpose' is thought to be dead, I don't see the point on it taking half an episode.

 

 

Dead people quit existing as character? People stop caring?

They don't have an impact on other characters?

They shouldn't appear anymore even in other peoples thoughts?

 

Or, characters shouldn't have flashbacks involving people that are dead or that don't have a big role?

 

I cannot agree with you.

Dead characters can still pull their weight in a story, despite being dead.

Got to absolutely agree on the part that dead characters can still pull their weight and it's very much worth to spend time on them

A nice shout out to one of the lesser known arcade music games, Pop N' Music. I can dig it.
Same, it's still on my list of anime to keep track of. Hopefully they start divulging more of the Titan origins or something besides beating the crap out of them.

From what I know off, if they do the next season we will learn the truth about the walls, some history of the titans, why Eren is truly powerful and who the two other human titans are.

 

 

Sure they do. But an entire half an episode dedicated to the development of a dead character straight after their death? It's as if Tolkien decided to have a whole damn chapter dedicated to Boromir after his demise.

Boromir

Minor AoT manga spoiler:

you mean learn who the other *3* human titans are?

Lol

[Isichar]

I can't explain why but Sasha is probably my favourite AoT character. I like how she could singlehandedly end the war and she would still be unable to live down her nickname.

I would be a little heart broken if she ends up dying.

After her it would be Ymir or Levi.

Correction - development of TWO characters that are connected.

You cannot really remove the influence character 1 had on character 2, if character 1 died.

In fact, quite the opposite. Showing the connection and their development, helps put more impact on the loss.

Looks nothing like a male.

 

Uh, Yeah it does.

 

The Thick Pronounced Eyebrows, The Narrow Cheekbones, the Jutting Jawbone, The Slight outline of an Adam's Apple...

Sasha is the best, she starts off as comic relif but ends up being a valid asset to the team thanks to her excellent tracking skills and scouting.

 

Uh, Yeah it does.

Drugs are bad for you, mkay.

Uh, Yeah it does.

Call me crazy, but I actually thought her eyebrows were kinda hawt.

Well, originally Hajime Isayama planned to kill her off in one of the early chapters, but decided not to do it in the end. Maybe she has become his favorite as well!

Which is a good thing! Lack of Sasha would create a void in AoT that could never be filled, plus who would eat the potatoes?

So it is a female?

 

Alright.

 

Its what originally asked.

[Master Warder Z_]

Instead of questioning personal habits you merely could have confirmed Gender.

AoT without Sasha is almost too awful to imagine! 

[Puzzlewell]

Satsuki's eyebrow game is strong. Nothing wrong with that! X3 But well definied facial features are most certainly not gender specific so uhh...

[Isichar]

*wouldnt find Satsuki any less awesome or hawt even if she was a dude*

[Puzzlewell]

It's totally the personality. Yeah I haven't seen any of her later character development but mumble mumble strong, confident yet cool personalities are wonderful.

[Mr.House]

Satsuki is pretty much Mitsurus evil twin in a way and there's nothing wrong with that

[Isichar]

Her later developments somehow manage to make her even more awesome then she already was.
