Mikasa's understated jealousy over Historia is hilarious.
I'm actually starting to dislike Mikasa a little because she's so obsessed with not allowing Eren to doubt himself, that when he even thinks about maybe not being a genocidal psycho she immediately distracts him from that line of thinking.
That epsiode felt quite powerful.
I think I liked that one the most so far.
I dislike Mikasa because she never approaches Eren romantically. I mean, they're adults, ffs.
@episode: yah, I liked it, too. Felt really emotional towards the end.
I totally agree with Mikasa being so cowardly. Just push the guy down. If you gag him, he can't turn into a titan.
Peace.
I binge watched episodes 38 to 48 today. Not as good as the second season. Definitely better than the first season.
FINALLY! Some answers and back story that was missing from the first 43 episodes.
This has got to be the only anime that needs 40 episodes to establish the events pre-titan. I admit, the wait was worth it. It did not feel rushed or contrived or just some sort of gap filler for dialogue. A lot of this could have been answered in the first 15 episodes. Which oif they had, Season would have been much better. Then again, if they did they would be forced to do something else this season as well.
Most anime don't ever bother to establish their pre-titan events!Originally Posted by Shadow Skill
Ahahaah!
I should have worded that differently.
What I mean is that, they finally started to address issues that were brought up in Season one. Issues that supposedly happened Pre-Titan or at least Pre-Eren.
It took 40 episodes to finally get them answered. Which was from episodes 43 onwards.
They did not need to take 43 episodes. Either way, I have some answered. I still have questions but if there will be another season hopefully they get answered as well.
I feel like revealing your pre-series backstory later on is actually pretty common place for anime. I mean, shit, One Piece has over 800 episodes and still hasn't explained the shit in the past that made the word the way it is now.
Not just anime either, but pretty much any longform storytelling. Game of Thrones is pretty much ALL this.
You know, actually I think I'm upset about all that.
The premise of this anime had always been 'we're attacked by titans. We know nothing. We have to go outside the wall and find out!'
But now ... we knew everything after all! It's just a bunch of assholes keeping it a secret. Ffs
Yeah, I dont like that at all.
Next some asshole reveals 'oh, you're looking for the beast titan? Well, there's a titan town in that direction. Oh, I didn't tell you, because I'm fighting a deep inner emotional conflict, ya know. Whoopsie daisy!'

So conspiracy stories aren't your thing?
The whole part with Annie etc. wasn't either?
Why would you prefer it if they kept killing titans non stop until they find "the titan boss". That'd be extremely boring.
It's not like this came out of the blue either, it's been mentioned from the very first episode onwards that books about the outside world are forbidden etc.
hinting at someone who is controlling humanity behind the walls (or at least that "part" of humanity)
They were slowly, but steadily revealing more and more hints and now hints slowly become facts.

I wouldn't find a continuous search for the titan mystery boring at all. Berserk is like that and it's great.
I generally hate flashbacks, too.
Really liked that they are circling back to things from the first three episodes. It really makes the story seem well thought out/premeditated. Two weeks, two very different flashbacks, both interesting and important. I'm so glad we got a good few episodes left this season.
Episode 49(?)

Oh... Its good to have you back, AoT...
Good episode. Although sigh, plot shield for Rainer again. Realistically, Levi should have sliced him to pieces.
What confuses me: the titans next to the hairy one, are they dumb titans or intelligent ones? Cause they suddenly appeared as if they transformed like Rainer. Or did the hairy one somehow teleport them there? Hm.
Was that intro, like, a mashup of all the previous intros?
And at the end it's just screaming BAAAAAAASEMEEEEEENT!!
It sounds like it doesn't it? Personally for me it's as if it's Verse 2 of his other songs.
No clue. If Eren gets his titan powers sorted, he might even be able to command the army that's about to be served against him. Monkey seems OP. He's fast, tall and smart.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The OP suggest that the titans were basically transformed/summoned into existence there.
And Eren uses crystal-reinforced fists in combat now, pretty cool.
I love how the titan crystal is giving them access to new tech.
Oh yeah, I forgot he could do that.
Feel like he never used it at all last season.
Episode 51
----------------------------
That felt way too short. RIP Reiner.
That "transferring consciousness to body" thing came out of nowhere.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
SUPER shory :/
Goddamn, if he isn't dead by next episode, I'll break something. Please let our heroes make some meaningful progress! 🙈
God, when everyone hesitated to attack him again - WHY?! We're long past the 'he was our friend' bs. They should have spammed spear attacks until nothing's left.
And pls let Levi off the beast titan. Can't stand that smug titan. Unfortunately, I have a feeling Levi might die together with that titan
