Shingeki no Kyojin declared that its main
characters are Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert. But it seems that
the camera likes following Eren thus making him the main-main-character.
>>Contains
major anime spoilers.
Eren as the main
character of Shingeki no Kyojin grew in
me in just a couple of episodes. He's not exactly strong; he's not exactly weak
either. He's a great spirit and never lost sight of his goal. Well every
character have their own strengths and weaknesses, right? :)
Then episode 5 came.
Killing Eren, the
established main character, at the 5th episode of a 2-cour series seems like a
big deal. For anime-only viewers it seems like a pretty bold move for the
series and it only made them watch even more for this kind of excitement. Well
I'm pretty sure we all knew that he'll come back sooner or later. Well at the
very least I had the hope that he'll be back (and eventually he did ).
Now this part of the
story in episode 6 made my impression of Eren even better. He really knows how
to pull people up. It's not only Mikasa, even Armin and Connie Springer were
definitely influence by Eren.
Then this guy came
into the picture.
Those eyes! How in the [#@&%] did this happen?!
Now I remember certain someone getting injected with something in the
flashback! -MAL forum.
The buzz about Eren
was given a shot was brought up thus loosing episode 8's surprise factor of
having Eren come out of a titan's body. Well not that it was so much of a
surprise since hits were pointer out other than the injection he received.
Fast forward to the
latest episode, all we see here is Eren being rejected by his fellow human
beings for something HE DOESN'T KNOW. Whatever it was that his father injected
him, it's not exactly what I'd like to see in Shingeki
no Kyojin. Personally, it has taken Shingeki
no Kyojin to something a little absurd. But that's just me ranting on
how much I disliked the idea.
I really like how Shingeki no Kyojin makes each episode packed
with enough level of drama, action and suspense. Then episode 9 came. It wasn't
exactly bad. I'm generally just disappointed at how it wasn't able to keep up
with the previous episode' intensity - the action (well except for that damn amazing Levi intro), the drama and
the suspense. But I guess my whole point of focusing this post on Eren was the
fact that I disliked how Shingeki no Kyojin
has taken a route of making Eren a super-main-character (LOL). Seriously!? He
became a titan (a seriously deformed
one) by just biting the hell out of his hand to bring out his blood.
What is he a deadman (Deadman Wonderland reference here!)!? I'm
pretty sure that Shingeki no Kyojin can
do better than this.
~well whatever
explanation they have in their sleeves, a breathtaking action and episode7-like
drama can only pull this series up for me. This is just me ranting by the way
:P
