Well, he's been getting better in later chapters, but still. Being motivated isn't everything. Regardless, Ravioli is best Eren is only still alive due to plot armour. I like the dread the manga/anime can make you feel, but apart from that it really lacks in many areas. | ||

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. + Show Spoiler + I dont think Ill ever see headchomping as extreme as Muv luv. | ||

I admit they wouldn't have to kill him off to do that but it would definitely leave an impact if they did. 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. Well then I would suggest you don't watch shonen then. + Show Spoiler + Killing off a character is the easiest way to make people believe you've got an edgy, fresh story tbh. It's not that people aren't creative enough to do it, it's just bad for business and your target audience. This isn't even like Game of Thrones where there's lots of other characters to focus on. | ||

I asked a friend of mine, he says it's different from SnK in that it's really more of an ensemble cast (and that it's a lot more abrupt in SnK). In SnK they only really built up and focused on Eren so far. If he is not the MC and in fact would die there, what was the point of the first 5 episodes? Why would they put so much emphasis on everything revolving around him, such as his mother's death, his wish for revenge, his determination in training etc. and then just kill him off like that? Doesn't make sense to me and would just be kind of bad really. | ||

Here is picture: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/UxTVv8L.jpg) In case you can't tell which Getter 1 design it is of, its this one: Construction wise, you can tell this is a pretty old kit. This thing doesn't use polycaps. I think I've had some models before that don't use polycaps, but this one has REALLY made me appreciate them. It is sturdy while its just standing there, but try to re-pose it and elbows and knees and hips start popping off. The red strips on its legs are stickers, and don't really fit on right, which is annoying. On the plus side of its construction, it has like a double jointed chest, sort of, which is cool. Here is it right next to my Black Getter revoltech: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/F5f9BAD.jpg) Oh yeah, this Getter also obeys the laws of physics, so it can't do this: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CQYPkJG.gif) | ||

Especially the part where he + Show Spoiler + HOLDS THE TITANS MOUTH OPEN! WITH NO (ONE?!) LEGS! My theory now is that Eren's dad created Eren from Titan DNA and his own and that's what he was gonna show him in the basement when he got back. | ||
