Kind of a lazy cop out that she didn't get violated. Her clothings are even ripped in a very convenient way. Should have either left her unharmed or gone all the way. Would have been interesting story-wise, too, how she'd deal with being raped. The only prominent rape victim in anime/manga is Cyasca and, well, she vanished from the story. Showing that rape must not necessarily leave to severe trauma would have been interesting. The elf girl is cheerful enough to maybe bear it. Obviously, GS would need to accept her romantic approaches then!
@kray:
Look, Kray, I'm not going to bother with a full reply when you dismiss my very valid points with 'that's not severe enough for me'. Maybe it's not 'severe' enough for it to be a bad episode, but praising it as 'great' with so many negatives ... ya know, it's okay to like dumb stuff. I love Star Wars Episode 1 *shrugs*
But even then, pls tell me why this doesn't count:
Oh, I forgot a big negative: So let's get this straight: the hero of a series doesn't die in episode 7. It's Eren all over again. But that's why I hated this way too long scene where nothing happened, just the group becrying their 'fallen' companion. It's wasted time. If you don't kill someone for real, don't spend this much time on it. What's more: If he survives, it makes all these people assholes. Because instead of rushing him to get help, they just sat down and waited. Fantastic! Basically: We had to watch a lengthy non-consequential scene PLUS we'll get a dumb deus-ex-machina regeneration next episode. :/
