Attack on Titan (TV) Episode 14! [Review]


Episode 14! ヾ(*д*)ノ゛

Summary:
Word spreads about a Titan siding with the humans, the people were divided over whether Eren is their savior or a threat. Eren is brought to a military tribunal being judged by the Commander-in-Chief of the military, who will decide whether Eren should be given to the Military Police or Recon Corps, both of whom have their own reasons for wanting Eren. The Military Police wants Eren killed as he is seen as an unknown threat and might cause a civil war while the Recon Corps wants to use his Titan powers to retake Wall Maria. Levi then beats Eren down. Despite Eren being brutally beaten, he does not change into a Titan which Levi shows to the court that the Recon Corps can control him and proposes that he is to be made part of his squad. Eren is given to the Recon Corps where they welcome him.

Impressions:
Though, that this may not be an action packed episode, it was just awesome! What’s surprising that I got an even stronger feeling watching it instead of reading it in the Manga. That’s probably due to the great voice actors and the impacting sounds that adds that much more! It also highlights some of the social problems nicely, but it seems a bit skimmed over at times. It's a great episode that lets non-manga readers appreciate Levi as a character. To also mention, that the new OP was just epic! Though, I still prefer the old one because it provides that adrenaline rush as you begin to watch the episode! Anyways, looking forward for the next episode! Though, I do feel that it would be more character developments first rather than going straight with their mission.
