One last thing apparently this episode is modeled after Samurai Champloo's clip show episode The Disorder Diaries.

Absolutely. Sasha shoots them into a Titan's eye, temporarily blinding it, so she can get away. This is in one of the last books.

WHAT? Dude you are so off base with that Japanese features comment. Mikasa is clearly the only Asian in the series and she's half Asian at that. All the other characters have GERMAN names. And why couldn't we have German speaking people playing the part and put subtitles at the bottom? I like the series being true to…

In the manga, Sasha used a bow and arrow to blind a titan and buy time to save a child.

Yep, laziness. It's also set in an environment using mostly 17th Century German architecture, and almost everyone has ethnic European names. Clearly post-apocalyptic Japan, featuring an all Japanese cast is an accurate adaption. Lazy.

Leader: "Men, we must recover the chalice from the palace, for it holds the healing draught that will save our comrades. But be warned. Do not mistake it for the vessel with the pestle, for that gaudy cup holds a poisonous potion that will kill rather than heal."

Aside from some very recent exceptions like Attack on Titan and Knights of Sidonia, anime has been in a bit of a fanservice funk for the last decade or so. It's great seeing Kickstarter find ways for fans of older anime, where eyes were smaller and explosions more numerous, to get the kind of content they've been…

I just found this funny.

'I...am Funnybot.'

Someone posted this in the Gif Party, and I love it so much that I put it here.

Well if you missed out on the Clone Wars series, I'd recommend starting there. It's MUCH better than Rebels so far. If you do check out Clone Wars, either stick with it through the first season, or just skip it all together. It's one of those shows that gets much better as it goes along.

When she pulled the hammer out of her bag (and the TARDIS), I couldn't help but think of this...

I too wonder if this comes from Lucas/Lucas' notes or whether it's a new addition by Disney.

I hope it's more like "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."

It could be teleporting in the extra mass or drawing it from the time vortex, or fabricating it through block transfer computations (basically building it out of math, which is what the TARDIS is made of). The physics of the Doctor Who universe offers plenty of ways to introduce new mass to an object.

Didn't you watch Star Wars? It clearly took exactly one Death Star to do the job.

You shut your damn mouth sir.

Boo this man.
