The only complaints I'd make are that I think they could have maybe had Annie interact with the other team members a little more. I wasn't really sure how Annie had such a close relationship with Armin that she couldn't bring herself to kill him when they only exchange a few lines when she says "You're weak. But you've got guts." But when shes revealed as the female titan she says "I am glad I could be a good person to you Armin". Even with Erin, aside from the boot camp scene she sort of fades into the background and thats such a shame because the female titan arc covers half of the series so you would expect more emphasis to be put on Annies relationship with Erin and Armin. As it stands, it feels like the show wanted her to fade into the background cast and I think given the depth of feelings expressed when its revealed and importance of that arc this was the wrong thing to do. Although the episode from her perspective was very well done and did slightly compensate for that. Also, I have some suspicions about Reiner and Bernalt who are always shown with Annie and being a tight group. If those two are who I think they are then the same criticism applies there. They haven't really interacted with our main trinity since boot camp despite having such a prominent role. I mean if you have time for bread girl, Jean and the rest of the recon characters arcs you probably should put more emphasis on the titan shifters.

Plus, this is probably a genre thing, but its a little bad how characters are introduced to us and we're given just enough to sympathize with them; before being brutally killed/eaten. I think maybe more background talkie episodes to establish these characters would be welcome and less dedicated to fighting (awesome as that is). The ratio seems to be 1 talkie episode to three fighting ones. Although the first major fight is clever because you really think Erin is dead, I don't know how they can keep repeating that as its obvious that main characters won't be dying.

Also the military types talking about the necessity of sacrifice and the greater good. I am okay when Mikasa or Armin say that "life is cruel". But I don't like how so much time is spent having generic characters hammer this into us propaganda style, I'd rather it was solely tied to our characters story arcs.

Do you think in future episodes Annie might become a goodie? Or do you think she would have to die in order to redeem herself? She killed A LOT of people after all.
