Does anyone know the song/OST right before the ending starts

If you are talking about the one that plays when Hanji shouts "Yahoo"

It's from OST 1 Track no.15 Call Your Name

The version you hear in this OAD, is without the lyrics.


Awesome thanks

I have to ask; who the hell can write coherently (not to mention at lightning speed) when they have their head jammed between the teeth of a titan and is a second away from instant death? o.o

Good OVA. I have some questions,tho. Why didn't they confront Ymir if they already knew that the abnormal titan said her name and seemed to know her? She's already part of the scouting legion so i think they all know her name o.O
How many expeditions do they go on per year? Ilse was part of the 34th expedition ( i think ) and in this OVA it was the 49th ( not sure ) and the gap between them is one year.

That was really nicely adapted. The foreshadowing is ooooooh mate.

Plus I believe the Titan was struggling not to eat Ilse to show respect for 'Ymir-sama' (cough, cough).

Great, I loved seeing SnK again.
So, What do you think is on the other side?

my favorite part was when Ilse was getting eaten and she's still writing in her diary.

I don't think that expeditions were meant to be regular. During that time, their objective was mainly to resupply a route back to Wall Maria, which would generally depend on two things - weather conditions and staff availability. Imagine leading a convoy during winters or in storms with titans jumping around you. Also, the route doesn't necessary mean a straight line from Trost to Shiganshina - I think they move around, finding forests and abandoned villages, where the military could better use the 3DMG during attacks. The other special chapter is about clearing up such village in the south.

Ilse's expedition took place shortly after the time the kids began their training. The various corps and their HQ locations are different, though, so it is very unlikely their paths to cross so early. "Communication" b/w humans and titans wasn't taught as possible to the trainees as well.

Solid OVA. No complaints. 8/10

Ilse's action was stupid, agitating the titan. there was no real need to shout in the end when the Titan obviously look mentally unstable. Guess the producer just want Ilse dead.

Keep in mind that she was mentally unstable as well, after lurking through the dark forests for a few days trying to survive...

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.

Nah... From what I understood this titan just mistook Isle for Ymir. Look, they're quite similar. You know: female, freckles, dark hair and brownish skin tone...

It was so fucking intense when the Titan started ripping its face off and Ilse started yelling at him. Sent shivers down my spine.

A lot of people including myself are waiting for the second season with anticipation. Now that there's some sort of connection between Ymir and the Titans I can't look at her the same way I had during the 1st season. In a way; she's drawn a lot of attention even though she had no screen time.

Or maybe

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this. The talking Titan could've been referring to an actual deity named Ymir and the Ymir we all know just happens to share the same name.

This is far better than the manga~! Glad to see Levi's Squad again and Auruo being the comic relief the whole time. Hanji was pretty strong that she was able to lift Auruo. I like how they added scenes to enhanced the OVA. When the titan started ripping his face it crept me for a while. Erwin's, Mike's and Hanji's faces in the beginning are epic, ready to hunt some Titans. Another thing, I missed the OP so much.

Oh wow....i just watched this in sub and i was just amazed at the quality o.0 The execution was perfect! Love the building up of suspense and the use of music in the background! Needless to say the animation was great here. The extension that they have added to the story was great and made it very interesting. For an OVA, i thought it was great! :3 I thought i wouldn't be intrigued by this episode since i already read the manga so Kudos to the studio! I was actually creeped out by the titan when he ate Ilse even though most of the times titans don't scare me in the anime. I'm very glad that the studio decided to animate this chapter since it's such an important piece of information >.<

We know she's in it since Ep22 so nothing new for the anime viewers.
It must have been a shock for the manga readers at the time since they saw that story a lot earlier than we did.

Look again at the anime, you'll see that when they come back in town you have 2 fairly different kind of facial expressions.
The "nice" ones, are sad, destroyed, crying, angry etc...

Then there are others, whom don't look downwards, dont have any trace of tear, etc... but they look away, because they know the pain they've caused, even if to them it was all for a good reason. If you think I'm reading too far, the other one that we know is in it, is acting exactly like that...

I thought this side-story in the manga was a bit of a downer, although very intriguing. But the anime expanded the story into a neat episode that I really enjoyed. Hanji was very active in this episode, which made sense, and the exploration in the action of this Titan was a nice touch. It was also nice to see the Special Operations Squad again one last time.
I always liked how Ilse kept writing until the end.
Overall, great OVA.

Fucking loved it! The OVA gave some pretty major hints into the secrets of the Titans, which tie in nicely with what we now know about Eren and Annie and their ability to transform into Titans. I wonder if the Titan tearing at its face was in the description she was writing, since it wasn't in the narration? I do love the thought of a member of the Survey Corps desperately writing down every detail she could think of about her encounter, in desperate hope that something would be useful, up to and including the Titan's breath, until CRUNCH.

Do you think scientist/nerds like Hanji are more concerned with appearance? I've seen some ugly unkempt nerds that if they only put on makeup and wore stuff relative to women they'd be hot.

Sorry I don't read manga unless the anime is no longer in production. I prefer watching it as it unfolds on the screen so my mind is blown exponentially by the anime's epic animation, voice acting and music. My personal preference.

It really crept me out the way the titan preserved Ilse's body. (It doesn't exist in the manga, but makes sense in its weird way). I am not sure if the 46-m kyojin lead Hanji to Ilse's memorial on purpose or upon seeing Hanji, remembered where he left Ilse and went back to her). Ilse is one of the greatest characters in the manga - being so alone, so scared, lost all her comrades, yet fought literally with a pen and a note, finding courage to run back to Wall Rose on foot and leave (basically) a legacy.

As expected, Hanji is crazy about studying titans, but Ilse's story helps her form a proposal to Erwin, which he could seriously consider - as much as she loves to poke titans around, she is reckless and rather childish in the beginning to the point of endangering herself, her comrades, and the missions. Who wouldn't love her (in case they live to see another day) :D
Arbitrary, the OAD has become a tribute to the new approach of fighting the titans with more understanding, than mere counter-slaughter. Tl;dr, it's the first communication recorded b/w a human and a titan and casts a light to a character, whose story we are yet to figure.

Aside the animation, liked this OAD very much! A very small (special chapter 18.5) piece of the manga got attention, tied up the extended parts in the anime, and added new material. Definitely "not bad"!


Yeah, more in depth of the anime.

Honestly, no, I don't remember. It's only vaguely familiar now that it's been brought to my attention. Even so, that was ridiculously over dramatic for a tongue bite. His head snaps back, a massive amount of blood explodes in front of him, and he falls back out of frame. It looked like a ninja ran by and decapitated him. I thought for sure he was grabbed by an unseen titan that was going to be relevant later in the story.

Best tongue bite ever. Hope it is not the last time we see him do it.
