That titan's face is incredibly out of place. + Show Spoiler + I hope Eren really is dead, the dude is annoying as fuck and it would improve the show by a lot imo. If he somehow manages to survive..... It was bullshit how he saved armin too so I'm having doubts they would actually kill him off. | ||

Why would they kill off the main character in episode 5? What would even be the point of doing that? | ||

I'm pretty sure that's become an inside joke of sorts now..

Even though Kamina was the most important character at the time, it was pretty clear that the show was mainly about Simon. They even started the show with him, etc. At most, I would say that in terms of directing, they were both equally important. There's nobody like that in SnK. I actually like having Eren as lead, better than Armin (misaka is a little too bland, her 2 character traits are being perfect and caring for Eren a lot) | ||

Titans only have 1 Destroyer class, but it can teleport in and out of thin air If I remember correctly, I think the author stated at some point that MLA was an inspiration for SnK. By the way, as you said, titans don't have laser class. So, they should obviously have gone with air against titans. Too bad their technology went for spiderman instead of steam powered air, haha. Oh, and another thing they have (more or less) in common: + Show Spoiler + HeadCHOMP:ing. There was some image of poor you-know-who running into a titan and... you know the rest. | ||

There is way too much focus and development centered around him (well, he is the MC after all) to do that. If he were to die here, what was the point of the 4 episodes before? Also, cliches aren't necessarily bad. "And I'd prefer it if they shifted the focus of the anime more on humanity's struggle against the titans instead of the sob cry story of an annoying kid." That's cool and all, but the story IS centered around him so far, so while it sucks for you that you don't like him I guess you will just have to deal with him. Though I think humanity's struggle for survival will definitely be a major aspect of the show. Thanks for the spoiler! + Show Spoiler + Just kidding. While I haven't watched TTGL, of course I know Kamina dies. It's hard to comment on that since I haven't watched it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Simon is the MC and Kamina was a sensei/big brother/idol figure for him, so it isn't the same. In fact, death of such a character is very common anyway. Besides, the death of an important character should serve a purpose within the plot, which I'm sure was the case in TTGL, but in SnK I really don't see a point to kill him off (or even Mikasa/Armin for that matter, though I guess I could see them die later on). | ||

They don't visually look the same, at least not considering their giant, human like mouths and teeth, but they still end up reminding me a lot of them. | ||

For now at least, there´s way too much shouting and angry business. Ofcourse you could justify that by saying ´well duhh theyre being attacked by titans and shit´ but that doesn´t mean I as a viewer won´t get annoyed if everyone is shouting nonstop for 20 minutes. Anyways, I´m 99% sure they won´t kill him off because as you say, it doesn´t make a whole lot of sense now. | ||

Edit: I shouldn't say no reason, its just that the whole thing kinda becomes silly after a while | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Poor Chamber, reduced to a grill... SnK manga spoiler: + Show Spoiler + What I like about Eren is that he is so fucking motivated to KILL ALL TITANS, and everything around him still goes to shit, and he's almost worthless. Well, he's been getting better in later chapters, but still. Being motivated isn't everything. Regardless, Ravioli is best | ||
