| It feels like titans were programmed or cursed by someone to kill people, if they don't they will just lose control. |

blueyedsamurai said: great episode, although it was silly that she was still writing while her head was about to be bitten off. That's like trying to text message while in the jaws of a shark. Well, she was going to die anyway, and she wanted to put down as much information as she could, in order so that this notebook of hers may provide valuable information that could lead to some discovery about the Titans and whatnot. Better than just screaming like most victims. |

| Hanji was great in this. |
 |
| Not bad. Actually it was refreshing when Eren-crybaby and Armin-coward wasn't there. A little bit backstory - it's sure interesting to know titans can talk. |
| The most intense OVA i've ever seen o__o |
| *Waiting for Headless Isle memes to come* It was greatly adapted. |

| Ahh, seeing these old characters again when we won't ever see them again. It is wonderful and really sad at the same time. I adore Hanji though so that was what I focused on. xD Although you know I kind of went yay and then felt really sad about Levi being protective of his squad. D: And yeah, Ilse was amazing, recording everything to the end like that. |
 |
| Too bad Levi killed the talking titan. A lot could've been learned from him. |

| Too bad Levi's squad isn't the main focus of AoT. Would definitely be much more enjoyable to watch, IMO. Good OVA. |

Somehow I realized even if they captured this particular titan; the titan shifters who infiltrated their ranks would kill it to keep their secrets. |

| Dat spoiler drop. Anyway, great OVA. FINALLY, a little more humanity on titans, I've been waiting for this. |
 |
| Very nice! cant wait for season 2 |
Sasafune said: I find it funny how Ilse was able to write down all those stuff, especially when she was caught by the Titan. Gotta love how these people handle their fears. And it was nice seeing the Levi squad again. Great OVA. The way she kept on describing what was happening even after she'd dropped her notebook and was literally in the titans mouth I think showed really well what type of person she was. |
| When does the second OVA come out? Also, the titan saying "Ymir-sama" pretty much spoiled what could be a big reveal for me, I mean it's kind of obvious now what to expect. |

| A Titan that can speak? Wow! This just got more interesting. As odd as the Titan was, it seemed like he really didn't want to eat Ilsa. I'm wondering if human blood is like crack or Ecstacy to a Titan. He seemed to get a nice little high from eating Ilsa's head. |

| NIce little OVA to keep the candle burning until a second season is announced. Good adaption of the manga too. Hanji Zoe is a really cool character, she brings some much needed humour to that setting. |

| Too bad levi killed the hunky titan. Such waste of a good meat. |
 |
| Hanjii, so creepy and cool, and her 'love' for titans. Levi's squad.. Nice, better than i expected. |

Sasafune said: zellami said: I think he made Ilse a memorial and remembered it when he met Hanji and led the latter to the tree. With how he almost tore his face open when he met Ilse, I'm somehow convinced that he's confused and had regrets killing her. I was surprised when he mentioned Ymir. I'd been spoiled about the Titan shifters but I definitely had no idea Ymir was in on it, too. If they captured that Titan alive, the amount of information Hanji;s gonna get would've been SO substantial and valuable. What a waste!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. Reading the manga naturally pace time differently between chapters, but because of the spoiler, the anime omitted it. If you feel spoiled after watching the OVA, trust me, is the better option. The possible second season should quickly reach to the point where the OVA will make sense. That being said, there's more to it in the manga, so stuff gets wild :) Clumsly as he was, (I think) the giant was searching for the tree-memorial. Not that titans are especially graceful, but they rarely knock trees around if there aren't humans to prey upon. Hanji reminded him of Ilse and he followed her, till he realized he was receding further from the forest and went back. It was almost comical how he ignored Levi's squad, because even if some deviants are capable to ignore single humans, they break formations. This one freaked them out :) Yeah, on his "defense", he really fought with his nature not to eat Ilse. ... I suddenly realized that all other captured titans received names and this one - the brightest of all, didn't. So, how about 'Nanashi' (means "nameless")? I find it funny how Ilse was able to write down all those stuff, especially when she was caught by the Titan. Gotta love how these people handle their fears. And it was nice seeing the Levi squad again. Great OVA. Yeah, an awesome chick. Until her last moment, I hoped she would make it or the titan would exert control over the killing impulse. I have read the manga more times than it's healthy ... and I still slipped into routing for the impossible. |

| Good ep, Hanji rocks. I hope there's more of her in the next OVA, and more lack of Eren and Mikasa. I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. |
| Of course they release an OVA but not another fucking season. |

| It was amazing. Seeing more of Hanji was nice. She's so crazy, but in a good way. Also seeing Levi and his awesome fighting skills was a good thing. The way the Titan killed Ilse was pretty creepy. Also how we was ripping of his skin. Gave me chills. I would've freaked out of a titan was that close to my face. How can she continue writing knowing she's about to die, that's scary. Also Mike appears which is a good. Overall it was a pretty epic OVA. Even better than the manga chapter. Seems like there's gonna be a new one coming out soon. |

StormSky92 said: Damn, that was really interesting. A Titan that can actually talk? The mystery of the Titans just continues to increase. The draw to this series for me is the mystery, so I hope the next OVA will explain something, or have something to make me ponder it even more. Next OVA will be about the 104th trainee corps |
| Petra... :/ Ymir's people... Oh God, I feel so spoiled now, as I know some things about the manga due to tumblr (not much but some)... Wait, Ilse was a girl? That explains Hanji's mission a bit more clearly, she is an awesome woman... 9/10 |
 |
| Hanji D: It was a nice story of Ilse and the titan Rest in Peace |
| Nice OVA, meaningful story |
 |
| Does seeing Petra alive again make anyone else sad? |
My Candies:     |
| Loved the episode! It captured moments from the manga perfectly, Ilse was amazing and so was the filler material with Hanji :) Can't wait for the next OVA. |
| Is the first ep only can be found in 480p? Wtf.. I'm still waiting for a 720p version. |

Raven-kun said: Is the first ep only can be found in 480p? Wtf.. I'm still waiting for a 720p version. I don't want to disappoint you, but the OVA is a dvd-extra for buyers of volume 12 in japan. It's pretty unlikely that it will be re-released in blu-ray quality... at least not anytime soon. |
| This has been bugging me but why are the two OVAs bundled in one MAL entry? |
 |
canephalanx said: This has been bugging me but why are the two OVAs bundled in one MAL entry? I have the exact same question. Is the second OVA a direct follow-up or something? |
 |
| Weird midget-titan. I figure it was ripping off its own face to fight the urge to eat. The episode was right up there in quality with the series. |
  |
| lmao @ writing in notebook while head is being crushed.. titan is pretty much human taken by aliens. They did experiment and then put titans (modified human) back on earth and let them duke it out with normal humans for shit and giggles. (semi-srs) |
 |
| haha, so we get to know the way Oluo used to talk. and ...um...after watching this OVA, I am starting to feel bad for the titans... |
| Nice to see some focus on Hanji. R.I.P. Ilse your efforts were not in vain. |
[center] |
| O_O!! If Facebook or Instagram existed at that age, she would have sent a picture of her before the titan crushed her head. |
| Amazing OVA. We learn finally a little more things on the titans. Obviously it's nice to see again Levi. |
| Dam that was good and creepy! Poor Ilse ;_; and nice to see Hanji having a soft side to her <3 Ymir???? Wait what? Is she a Titan as well or something else entirely? o.o |
