Anyone that doesn’t must be on team Gabi. Episode 8 titled Assassin’s Bullet.
Same title as chapter 105 where Sasha dies.
Kicking this off with the new challenger approaching you got Mappa giving you a mixture of cg for
titan Eren and 2d animation for the half-baked armor titan. The anime gave you a new quick
scene for the cheerleader Gabi. For the double page spread in the manga version Eren vs Reiner
this got expanded into an equally quick smash down. Notably the anime did give Eren back
his titan knuckles which were missing at the end of the last anime episode do i smell potential
blu-ray fix?
Very quickly you got a shot of the armor titan's backside not shown in the manga you can notice
the back armor thinner and completely lacking for his legs which is pretty similar to when
Reiner ditched them back in season 2 for speed. Lovely glance of Mikasa at the side looking
she resembles that one punch man purple ninja. As for Reiner claiming it's jaws Titan prize
notice you could actually see more spiking in the anime now especially in the midsection
in arms. The jaws titan face looks like a knockdown
cartoon character too much damage on his coconut. For the Ackerman and jaeger reuniting anime
Eren isn't looking too fleshy ejecting from his titan.
Looking at a face that only a titan mother could love for once the anime is less steamy
you can see the armor Titan lost more than his jaw part of his face plating too.
So time for the retreat you got a full page expanded in the anime scene mostly focused
on jean insert trailer shot not used right here.
In the manga you were actually able to spot the beast Titan’s leftover skull evaporating.
Switching the Falcon one raging girl seeing the scouts departing the Marley guy actually
did react to Gabi bolting in the manga. The anime skipped a quick line Gabi went on
about how the guard dude's gun had some bullets for the scouts. F
or some survey corps fun you have a new anime original quick scene of the scouts blasting
some fools gotta protect the mothership.
Anyway time for the king to board the anime made this much more intense new shot of armin
staring down intensely. You could feel anime armin taking his time
gathering his thoughts overseeing Eren compare this to what instantly feels like going into
help for the manga it opened with him already crouched down.
Naturally you can't capture some panel layouts in the anime so take a look at those armin
on one side with everyone on the other meanwhile Mikasa smacked down in the middle of both
her buddies. Then for the help up i looked for it but nothing
the manga version had it super out there you can see light from Armin’s side reaching
over to the shadowed Eren’s side. On top of this contrasted with the swapped clothing
palette so checking out hobo Eren up close i feel like he looks and sounds more lifeless
now in the anime. Surprisingly i haven't seen a single complaint
for Levi this episode i guess even Gabi overshadowed the attack on Titan moneymaker.
Next up Levi's superkick really need Eren in the noggin Levi are you losing your touch
i don't see any pearly whites for Hange.
With Levi going in for the rest besides Eren's backside to a door now notice Levi's wings
of freedom for manga readers there was a question about whether Levi might switch to a black
version to match the new suits.
The anime now confirms that's remained green. Then the undead Eren look continued here notably
the anime emphasized this with the close up to his eyes. They are still green by the way
switching to the outside the Marley soldier scene got expanded a bit it looks like they're
actually putting effort in the anime now compared to getting quickly picked off by the survey
corps. Check out commander Lobov go this whole scene
with him showing his moves is anime original. I guess i wanted to give him something before
sending him off and i did double check where he appeared before lobov briefly appeared
in the Trost arc. Anyway getting back to the two buddies in
the light i do think this was a message we'll see if Connie joins Sasha sooner or later.
Let's go celebration time for the new Eldian empire funny how they removed the blonde chick
from the one chant despite her being there for the close of a Floch.
For jean you can now see how he's trouble with that dreaded look on the face was ultra
tiny in the manga.
What a picture perfect shot of the ordinary trio no titan power it's here unfortunately.
Taking a look at the wailing devil cry me a river Gabi kind of wish they showed more
of her face.
I didn't like how the anime positioned the far shot clearly Gabi was still able to take
off but you could examine how she was coming to terms with the situation.
With the Udo flashback you actually did get a new drawing panel for his demise. Youcould
even spot individual footprints.
For an anime cut here you had Gabi talking about getting spat on when going outside the
interment zone the manga included flashback of those Marley people even the dog looked
like they didn't like Gabi the dog could smell evil.
Then for Gabi grasping her armband you did get a pan of Gabi's past training here too.
As for Gabi's little monologue i like how the anime changes up so Gabi is talking into
the distance looking down she's no longer facing Falco.
For a great attention to detail look at those eyebrows go really shows how shaken with fury
Gabi was especially with Falco trying to talk her to stop.
Was it just me or did Gabi's head look odd here perhaps overly long?
Either way Mappa really killed it with these facial shots yes Gabi but you can feel her
pain right here.
Unfortunately getting to Gabi’s first victim the anime made it much clearer how the old
dude hesitated over her being a little kid. What the hell did the anime just make Gabi
more overpowered? Originally we thought that Gabi got knocked
back after taking the shot but no she actually got the shot sliding into it talk about hacking.
The actual headshot was right in the eye really too quick to see the detail for the anime.
Then for Gabi putting two and two together seeing the wire still connected oh no jojo
reference for the anime.
I do have to get credit to anime Gabi for being more believable when figuring out the
3d maneuver gear trigger you can smell her scheming from your screen. Even i'm backing
away from Gabi voicing what she'll do to the island devils as expected from their self-proclaimed
true eldian so how the hell did Gabi go from killer mode to seeming thankful to her buddy
so much props to her voice actress.
During the takeoff you can't spot the poor dude leaking out.
Right here you got the familiar tale of the season 4 trailer shot of Gabi and Falco going
up not used.
Switching to Sasha the anime actually has Sasha turning around really making it explicit
that she did notice Falco and Gabi.
On the other hand now you have all this noise for the anime sadly if you do re-watch this
you can start seeing spots where it could have been prevented. Floch cheering loudly
is new noise for the anime. So hey they left the little assassin with one eye closed for
the anime too.
So examining the damage the anime changed the potato girl Sasha's arm on the left.
Manga Sasha almost looked like she was reaching for her sidearm and in the back Floch got
moved out of the shot most likely he's now further back with the crowd.
For an anime attention to detail you actually can't spot an exit wound from Sasha's behind
so come on thick Sasha is gone the anime now shows you a clear version of where the bullet
actually pierced her right under the boobage so i know there's been a lot of talk about
the chest armor depending on how she was wearing it it may not have shielded her.
The chest plate is rather small but still Isayama why?
Freaking love that quick reload animation Gabi really was going to go down fighting.
For Gabi vs the pissed off stallion i never really liked how the shooting panel looked.
Credit here goes to Falco i know people don't like that he saved his crush but instead noticed
that jean and Gabi would have likely taken each other out if Falco didn't intervene.
Some could argue it may have been worth the cost just saying.
Go ahead and enjoy the new scene of Gabi getting a trashing too bad that Falco got half of
that beat down.
Clearly they got a toss up in the manga too but it happened off panel.
In the anime you could actually spot Floch right in there and just so you could feel
it in your chest the anime gave you the gallons of blood oozing out. you could see the horror
in Connie’s eyes. same deal for potato Girl Sasha’s life is just draining away and just
to clarify Sasha did say ‘niku’ meaning meat they explicitly used a character for
meat even in the official japanese subs and manga.
As a comparison to the previous trio and the manga you have this one jean, the fallen,
and the broken buddy. At this point it's far too late but you were
able to spot that reoccurring blonde character in the scene trying to help out. notice how
in the anime version both of them are sporting the chest plate.
poor Falco poor kid you can actually see his eyes swelling up the things you do for love.
Gabi on the other hand struggling like a chihuahua to the bitter end she's just lacking the nosebleed
did they go easy on her?
So how about a compromise tossed out one kid. For a quick second you can actually spot Daz
and Samuel here. Anyone recall these two from season 1?
Great to include them early on. With the sad Sasha close-up the anime now
left her eyes partially open as she goes to a better place.
For a minor nitpick i really do think the mid info card should have been placed after
the blimp scene.
Switching a Pieck steaming like a chimney there's actually less smoke in the anime version
taking a look at the younger Pieck in the flashback at this point you're familiar with
the filter placed on here but it still is actually more clear than the fuzzy manga version
you can now make out Onyankopo notably the anime updated them with that vest back to
the swarming devil did Gabi just get sucker punched off screen but did i spot a little
mistake here hmm those true devils are so awesome i do have to commend the anime how
it made me want to chuck the little brat too Falco are you sure you like that and one of
my personal favorite shots this episode much detailed notably from the trashing Gabi's
hairdo is undone now and Falco's gotta bust a lip switching over to a different unexpected
trio you got Zeke with the sausage stumps similar for the anime except the pen super
quickly oh for the little shock brass they're matching i'm telling you Falco run with both
of them here it does appear this is the first time that ever looks almost surprised instead
of having that vegan look getting into anime nick fury coming in see even Hange has armor
staying true to form the anime captures warchief Zeke with the evil glasses look for raging
jean even closer for the anime i think a tad too close so taking a look at yelena this
is probably one of the best anime shots so far notice how the anime removed one eye closed
as she spoke which kind of sucks that was her thing let's see if they remove all future
instances of it for what yelena actually said here you should notice that Yelena now speaks
formally as she apologizes even closing both eyes. The anime did remove her line saying
that she did let them get away which definitely confused some attack on Titan fans back then.
With the hobo Eren close-up he's no longer looking like a certain Bleach Espada as for
top 10 attack on titan losses sad sad Connie coming in armin Mikasa crying in the anime
takes it up a few notches it really always gets me whenever someone like Mikasa cries
out in pain they even added the shot of tears falling on Sasha's face come on Mappa you're
killing me notably Eren doesn't look over the anime shot even has him fully covered
you do have to love the Sasha flashback scene this is showing you how attack on Titan season
1 would have looked it map us more detailed animation at least compared to the season
1 stuff i wouldn't mind them remaking more season one scenes and just to stick the knife
in some more rabbit gave you a new final handshot of Sasha rest in potatoes girl for Eren's
distress that laugh or chuckle whatever you want to call it besides that there was a question
about whether manga Eren was crying or almost in tears which i've seen some fan art add
in the past just to put that to rest you could clearly see anime era now no tears whatsoever
on the other hand clearly Eren is extremely pissed with the laws of Sasha miscalculation
my ass and at the very end the anime skipped over Zeke baking in
the background
