    Given that there's a very real possibility that they have some kind of saboteur within their ranks trying to prevent them from learning about titans, I have to say announcing the thing about Erin's basement to the entire crowd was incredibly stupid.

    Armin thinks so too, so I'm guessing there's a trick involved.

    For everyone claiming that the animation in this show is "terrible", can you suggest a few anime with better animation? Because I find this animation to be quite good.

    It's not bad all the time.
    It's just it can get really bad... and sometimes that's for the most part of an ep.

    On average, it's been a tad better I'd say.

    But when you have fun, you tend to forget about those details, that's why you might feel it's still ok.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    So next episode we see a blonde and intelligent titan. That really narrows it down to who it really is. Or who is can be.

    That would explain that weird scene from a few episodes ago.

    The only person who isn't with the group is Annie since she joined the military. That Titan is clearly like Eren since it looks nothing like the normal ones. Also guessing that she's the one who cut up those captive Titans. If it is her anyway.

    She probably ate Marco too since they're suddenly making a deal out of how nobody saw him die.

    I hate spoiler previews, as I never watch them... but people keep talking about them.
    Had to watch that one too.

    So Eren would not be the only one to be able to transform and be able to go back to human form. But he's only a rookie at it... since it seems that other one might have more control. The problem being she's against humanity. Or should I say against that group of humans.

    I guess everyone felt that when Eren got his power in the show, the Titans as they are would not be enough to have an eventful story. It's only normal we get something else to counter that new power.

    Now we're back to who controls that Titan power, who conducts the experiments creating such monster, and why.
    It could really be the inner walls humans, or another group from the outside.

    BTW, having controllable Titans would explain how it is possible to build 40+ walls quickly, even under attack... The only problem remains information control. I wonder how it is possible nobody from the outer walls remembers how the walls came to be.

    The idea was to flush them out. Tell them you're getting some information that could compromise them, so they'll scramble to get there before you do (instead of carefully planning their move, their hand will be forced.)

    His question for Eren was either designed to test Eren (does Eren feel sympathy for the titans and hatred for humans, or just to see what his reaction if Erwin showed that he taking the scene in at more than surface value).

    Because it's been 100+ years. Each outer wall was built before they became inhabited, and unless they posted guards back then on the walls, no one would have known about the walls until they were built. Titans definitely built those walls, no doubt about that.

    With all the mysteries about the Titans and known people using only a relatively small area to live in, I wonder just how big scale the frame of events will grow for this anime. Like, maybe there´s a whole other human population outside, maybe it´s like Gurren Lagann, though not subterranean. So, at some point Eren and Co. will leave the most outer wall, travel the land, and find another, unfamiliar 50m-wall. Then they´ll talk to the people inside, and as the story proceeds, those sealed off populations connect to each other, forming a true resistance against who´s behind the Titans. Part of it being the acquiration of more human-controlled Titans, which can only be done by risking your life, see Eren. Then we have a bunch of "good" Titans, Eren their leader, who go fight the Titan King. And after his defeat, it´ll be revealed that .... aliens! And it all ends with Eren fighting a black hole and the universe being reborn.

    Yeah, when he burst out of her hand he looked like he was steaming. Which is the only way I could see him surviving her crushing his head.

    I'm almost kind of annoyed that now it seems like people like Eren were all over the place already.

    That ep made the show interresting again.
    Because honestly, "normal" Titans were getting a little dull.

    I know he's some kind of plot device, but really Armin being able to compute that many facts under high survival stress is quite a feat.
    But I guess it's a way to efficiently have the story evolve. Give new elements and build from there.

    Regardless of who that female titan is, sparing Armin clearly is a bad choice. But I guess it's better story wise, even if it feels cheap to spare a MC that way.

    why "now"?

    its been like that from ep1 onwards, basically as soon as they understood that there are intelligent titans out there

    I still don't get what they gain from destroying mankind, though I can see why Annie/Female Titan is going for Eren right now.
    If it really is Annie (and it IS most likely one of the recruits, since she clearly doesn't want to kill anyone from the squad..and Armin clearly took advantage of that and saved Jean), then I'm going into sad-panda mode, because she's one of my favorites in this show and if Eren or anyone from the elitesquad ends up killing her, then I'm not sure if I can take it

    Thinking back, the Armoured Titan actually kinda resembles Reiner
    after rewatching ep2, he really does. especially his hair, but its not like hair doesn't change during titan-form (see Eren for example), however it would explain that somewhat fishy/awkward attack move, not really something a superb recruit like him would do.. and right after that, the female Titan went straight to the center for Eren.
    now I watched it 3 more times and he clearly didn't give it away anywhere, but what he could have done is to cut his position into her hand in some way, because right after he escaped her grasp, the titan was looking at her hand closely
    (could be the typical "herp derp he escaped , where did he go? " moment, but since she is intelligent and most likely human, I doubt that)

    Yeah, and considering how Annie/Reiner/Bertholdt are always shown together, Bertholdt is probably the colossal titan.

    You should take a look at the ED. It shows the normal group+ Eren on one side of the 'wall' and them on the other with Ymir and Sasha. ( I think those were their names ) So does that mean they are also Titans? Or is that just a coincidence?

    I don't think it is a coincidence, I believe it shows some kind of connection between them, the blonde girl is called Christa if I'm not mistaken, Sasha is the potato-girl.

    I'm pretty sure "Ymir" was also called the "father of all giants" (later killed by Odin and his brothers) in the norse creating myth
    at least something like that is what I remember from the time when I was into reading "Oh! My Goddess" fanfics and playing Age of Mythology

    so it would fit her to be a Titan
