Attack On Titan Episode 10

Response: The Struggle for Trost, Part 6

Overview

After partially transforming himself to protect Armin and Mikasa, Eren climbs out of the Titan to talk with Mikasa and Armin regarding the basement in his former house and how he believes that it holds the secret to mankind's preservation and the key to destroying the Titans. Commander Kitz is still afraid and once again orders the cannon to be loaded. Eren comes up with two plans of escape: the first is for him to transform into a Titan and run away on his own, forever criminalizing himself in the eyes of humanity. The second is to have Armin convince Kitz that Eren is an asset, not a danger. Armin has several flashbacks and comes to the realization that even if he is a coward physically, he can still defend his friends regardless and decides to talk their way out of being executed. Armin tentatively convinces Kitz, only to have him overcome by fear and give the order to fire once more. But the order is halted when Commander Pixis and his men intervene, sparing their lives. In return, Pixis asks Eren if he will transform himself to block the gap in Wall Rosé to prevent further Titan invasions. He agrees, regardless of whether or not he is able to control his Titan form.

Whereabouts of His Left Arm: The Struggle for Trost, Part 5

Overview

The Recon Corps led by Captain Levi and his squad successfully retake a town from the Titans until they are called to an emergency at Trost as the Titans have invaded the city. It is revealed that when Eren was eaten and swallowed by the Titan, he found himself in its stomach along with bodies of its victims, some of whom were still alive. His anger at the Titans caused Eren to burst out of the Titan's stomach by transforming into a Titan himself and going on a rampage against them. When Eren regains his consciousness, to his confusion, he, Armin, and Mikasa are surrounded by the Army who are aiming their weapons at him. It is revealed that after Mikasa and the others saw Eren emerge from the Rogue Titan, they all agreed to keep it a secret and bring him back inside Wall Rosé. However, Commander Kitz Weilman and his men did see it and have Eren cornered with Armin and Mikasa defending him. Kitz accuses Eren of being a Titan spy and demands to know what he is, but Eren has no idea since he has no memories of becoming a Titan or how his limbs grew back. Hoping to resolve the situation, Eren honestly answers he is human but a fearful Kitz orders the cannons to fire on them. As the three of them try to escape, Eren remembers his lost memories of his father giving him an injection, telling him to reclaim Wall Maria and go to their home's basement with his key. In order to protect Armin and Mikasa from the cannons, Eren partially transforms himself into the Rogue Titan, sheltering them inside his ribs.

I Can Hear His Heartbeat: The Struggle for Trost, Part 4

Overview

With the supply depot area swarming with Titans, Armin has the idea of using the Rogue Titan to defeat them. Connie and Mikasa agree with his plan and defeat the Titans attacking it, before rushing there. Meanwhile, Jean and the others reach the supply depot despite suffering more casualties on the way, with Armin, Connie, and Mikasa arriving soon after. Armin's plan works, but while the Rogue Titan fights the enemies outside, seven smaller Titans lurk around the fuel storage area. With their gears out of fuel, Armin comes with another plan. The survivors draw the Titans' attention to an elevator and shoot them in the eyes to blind them, while seven of them will jump from the ceiling to finish them off. Connie and Sasha fail to kill their targets but are saved by Mikasa and Annie. Having successfully replenished their fuel, the soldiers prepare to retreat, but they see the Rogue Titan defeating all of the other Titans before collapsing, and much to their shock, watch Eren emerging from its body. Mikasa reaches Eren and cries upon confirming that he is alive, while Armin notices that somehow his severed leg and arm have regrown as well.

Review-Attack On Titan

Attack On Titan

Review-

Story-8.5/10

Music-9/10

Character-8.5/10

Graphics-8/10

Plot Twists-7/10

Pace-5/10

Fight-9.5/10

OVERALL-8.5/10

Story-The story is good with a very new concept.Set in the backdrop of a pre modern era in a imaginary country where giant humanoid creatures called the 'titans' exist.Titans feed on human flesh and cause mass destruction of human life and property.Now its obvious that all the characters fight against them to save humanity.

Music-Music is a strong part of attack on titan.Linked Horizon has done impressive work.Both the opening songs 'Guren no yumiya' and 'Jiyu no tsubasa' are amazing.With a touch of german the songs have become even better.

Characters-The character design is not upto the mark as some of the characters have not been explained properly.An example of that is Annie Leonhart, She has a very important role in the series but her backstory and her mentality have not been shown to us.

Graphics-Attack On Titan has got quite impressive graphics.From the detailed eyes to the cam chase fights.The graphics are good but the only thing which got graphics a 8 is that it looks a little childish.

Plot twist-Attack On Titan goes very obvious till the end untill it gets a major plot twist but then it is the only significant plot twist in the whole story line.

Pace-The worst part of Attack On  Titan is its pace!It is very uneven.The first 5 episodes go at a good pace but then the show starts getting slow and slow.Episode 10-15 are extremely lethargic.At the end the story again takes it pace but its too late then.

Fight-The best part of Attack On Titan is the fight!Captain Levi rules it.Even Mikasa and others fight quite good but they are still not in competition with Levi.

Mikasa ends up running out of gas and falls into an alleyway, leading Jean to assume command. However, he loses his nerve when he watches some of his comrades being eaten by the Titans. As a Titan approaches Mikasa, she at first accepts her fate but instinctively starts fighting back after remembering Eren's words of perseverance. As she prepares to attack with a small blade, another Titan appears behind her, and brutally kills the approaching Titan much to her confusion. Armin and Connie show up, and they are all surprised to see not only the Rogue Titan fighting other Titans, but that it also shows knowledge of their weak points using hand-to-hand combat techniques while completely ignoring the humans. Armin gives Mikasa his gas tanks and blades so that she can go support everyone at the supply depot. Mikasa, however, refuses to leave him behind and ponders on the Rogue Titan's strange behavior.
