uhhhh well then not often you see a MC get decapitated so early in an show but since hes immortal i'm not to worried

still i would had liked it more if it was someone like Ichika or Kazuya :P i actually don't mind Kojou i just think he gets worked up to easily and randomly lol.

Uh lets wait till the REAL fight comes along next episode. This is just one of those small sequences to show how clearly outclassed the main characters are. I wouldn't really call it a fight. It's not supposed to be 'climactic'.

Nice to see lots of blood and a severed head in anime every now and then.

Very true, though I think this is one of those shows that are improved by turning off the brain, microwaving some popcorn with extra butter, and just sit back and enjoy.

The only thing I am hoping for is that the Female MC doesn't get saved again next episode. 3 times in 4 episodes for a supposed strong character is a bit too much. Speaking of bit, I doubt that the MC is going to remain a virgin (vampire that is) next episode, so given that the female MC really needs to kick some European ass.

The bad drawings really ruined it. 5/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Though in most pieces of fiction decapitation seems to do the trick.

I must say I have absolutely no idea how power is ranked or defined in this series. Himeragi is supposed to be able to watch over the Fourth Primogenitor. You'd think she's incredibly powerful, but so far she's already gotten decked twice and could've died already if not for Akatsuki saving her skin both times. Same with Akatsuki. He's the Fourth Primogenitor for God's sake -- here he is getting whipped by some exorcist. I suppose he needs to bite someone to gain his full power, but still...

Decapitation! He probably will get revived when Himeragi hugs his head close to her neck and he bites it.

Will this be a 2-cour?

Don't think. Just enjoy the popcorn with that rich savory butter.

Though, based on the opening/closing I think the reason Himeragi was chosen wasn't because of her strength, but rather because she is best suited to become the 4ths blood vessel, and being that gives her some sort of control over the Primogenitor. Blood, so I have been told, is very much like wine, so there are certain vintages that are so exquisite that a true connoisseur can become addicted to it and will not suffer any other inferior vintage.

hmm, pretty fast pacing. didn't think it was till around chapter 8 of the manga that he got his head cut off, but whatever, im guessing it's following light novel?

good blood and gore, but himargi and sempai are gonna need to go up about 10 power levels to compete with the deacon and his loli.

Fast paced? Maybe in terms of the manga, but as an anime, it felt quite slow paced until towards the end of the episode.



Was talking more that in 3 episodes its up to around chapter 8 of the manga, but its all good.



Yea. Though the light novel is at 9 volumes and isn't actually finished yet. So either they'll go anime original somewhere along the line or do a SNK and end at a certain point.

DAFUQ. Koujou's head got decapitated , WAT.
Probably the best anime of this fall in terms of actions.

To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!

Kojou saving Yukina was very predictable but i didn't expect that his head would be cut.. *cough* School Days *cough*
But then again he's the MC so it's too early for him to die.

After watching SNK, you aren't as surprised by the MC dying in a believable manner. Even if he wasn't immortal, I could probably continue watch. I just hate when the character at fault doesn't get their just deserts. In this case, it seems all will be fixed before more damage is done.
