    All I want from season 2 is some answers. Some real answers. Right now, we´ve got even more questions.

    Thanks for the spoiler. Didn't realize this was a manga/anime thread.

    I mean, it's kinda the entire point of the series so far. It's like saying Naruto becomes Hokage. Or Gon finds his dad. Or Luffy reaches the end of the Grand Line(future spoiler!). That thing they spend the entire series trying to do? They do it at some point.

    But I'll edit it out.

    This, I have been saying this and asking for this for 4 years. I am not going to read the Manga for answers. After 26 episodes, you would think we could know something of the Titans by now. So far every episode is "I will sacrifice my life and slow down the Titan. You/You all must live to sacrifice your lives for another 24 episodes so this story can go on." I really hoped Season 2 would have changed that way of story telling. They keep repeating the same stuff. Titans eat us and are 10 stories tall. I am starting to think the creator himself does not know how to tell the viewer how the giants came to be. Was it genetic altering gone wrong? Some sort of mutation from a biological war? We the viewer still don't know anything.

    I will admit that this new talking Titan is new. As for if it has any merit for the season will be seen in hopefully the next 4-5 episodes and not forgotten about until the 20th episode. Wait and see. I know some are fan of this show but I honestly don't see one defining point of this entire series.

    Because he doesn't actually dislike it that much and just doesn't like it as most people.

    Or he is a hipster.

    I am a completionist. I started this shit storm of an anime and I have to finish it even though its fucking terrible. The fact you feel the need to not only validate the fact you watch this shit show by actually asking why someone is watching it, must mean you either know it's shitty and are forcing yourself to watch it as well. I honestly can't see why you would care one way or another as to why someone finishes watching a show they started. Kind of an ironic moot point eh?

    If you need to validate your existence by asking someone else for answers and questioning someone else questions without offering an answer of your own, then I suspect you are either a troll or a person who wants everyone to love a shit show that you think is the best thing since grilled cheese. We both know it's shit from your replies.

    AGAIN, there is not one defining point of this entire series. Even the live action movie is total crap. I haven't even watched that but from what I hear it no better than the anime or the manga and total shit. So are you going to keep this façade going of Attack of Titan being a mediocre anime even though it's not even in the must watch list? Are you?

    Episode 27

    ---------------------------------------




















    I'm strongly suspecting that practising cannibalism turns you into a titan. One of the dumb ones, but a titan nonetheless.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    It may be one of those "walking dead" style 'We're all infected, but something has to happen to trigger our transformation into a titan' things. Until I learn the surely disappointing explanation for where the titans come from, this is riveting!

    I'm glad Sasha's folk were able to survive the attack, due to their horses.

    Pastor Nick is a pro tease.

    The titans existed before humans. They eventually vanished from the earth due to a terrible meteor crash that lifted dust into the atmosphere where they existed, cutting off their supply of sunlight. The humans then evolved from monkeys while the titans went into hibernation. Hundreds of years later, they slowly revived and threatened the human race as it is now.

    The question is, if something, the titans in this case, existed before humanity and human history, do we even care where they come from? Can't they just be there?

    People die and are reincarnated into Titans turning it into one viscous cycle.

    Ignoring how fucking dumb Sasha was:

    The biggest mystery atm imo is the question of WHY the priest is keeping quiet, even when threatened with death, even when the existence of mankind is at stakes.

    Normally, one could dismiss him as a religious lunatic, BUT he clearly has greater knowledge, so it gives off the feeling that he´s not acting from lunacy, but from knowledge. So .. what knowledge could make you keep quiet about stuff that might help surviving against the threat of the titans?!

    Either there´s a higher concept that´s yet completely unbeknownst to us (like: the mankind we´ve seen so far is just a gruesome experiment. The real mankind is outside, watching, Truman Show-like) OR the priest knows that it´s actually all hopeless and that they WILL die one day, so he refuses to tell them anything, because then everybody would just break out in madness, chaos, suicide.

    Sasha was so awesome.

    Good way to start the 2nd season, they still manage to freak me out with their weird titans and the desperate situation for humanty overall (and the victims that are about to be eaten). On top of that, the whole mystery about the titans themselves and that we can be pretty certain now, that a new faction joined the fray - Beast titans?

    Pretty sure they are different from the armored/super giant/Annie titan. And unless Annie was some kind of secret agent (I can't remember if anything like that was mentioned in S1) that couldn't go back with the intel she was supposed to gather, they are on a different team.

    This does also raise the question: Why didn't they attack earlier.... that is, if attacking humanity is even their goal.

    That's a pretty ambiguous point at the moment.

    On one hand it makes sense for the titans to voluntarily form the walls since they need to actively morph their skin into stone.

    On the other hand, the priest's fear of them suggests they could turn at any time (on exposure to sunlight), suggesting they're not exactly friendly titans.

    The ending hints at some great exodus (after being eaten and chased away by titans) or something where titans, willingly formed an alliance with humans in the presence of some holy lady titan(?).

    Maybe that Lady was "betrayed"/killed by the church/humans and he fears the titans want revenge? That'd be cool.

    If we´re entering "holy" territory: I´m not entirely sure, but weren´t the first human beings giants, according to the bible? I believe to remember something like that.

    Edit: There it is: https://answersingenesis.org/bible-c...old-testament/

    Sounds like something a japanese mangaka would use ;>
