Meh, while it is true that it did have a better cliffhanger I never felt the real effect of the cliffhangers because I always knew they would happen. The only one I truly liked was the episode 5 because who the forget knew that Eren was going to get eaten, without the the manga. Guess that's just me. Would've been better if they didn't constantly have a cliffhanger every single episode. Though if you think about it, a human trying to wipe off all the Titans would most likely die, but I wasn't really thinking about that at the time.
