The voice for the Beast Titan is perfect! It sounds so intimidating but "chill" at the same time. It's scary!! Sent chills down my spine.

The hype is too strong!

I liked this first episode, loved the level of gruesomeness that went on. Had to rewatch one part out of the episode though because of a slightly confusing transition from the 104th squad to an Eren flashback upon first watch.

I love this episode just because it doesn't spent a lot of time for the 1st season recap (like another sequel anime), the way it just go right to the juicy bits make this episode very thrilling even though I've already read the manga

The OP is good but I don't like how the start sounds way too similar to the 1st OP

Ep was entertaining, but that whole last part with Miche (or Mike) was so badly written. The way he carelessly landed right smack in the mouth of titan junior, and the way he just cowered at the sight of the giant titan doesn't live up to his "second only to levi" title at all. And the best part was how he only got up when he lost his means to survive. That was so stupidly pointless. It's like the scene was only there to show how pathetic humans are, or for the shock factor only. And the whole scene lost its significance the moment Miche died. Nothing he saw will be told to anyone in the cast, nothing he experienced during the final moments will matter, and the only facts it tells us is that the giant titan got a piece of human tech and that Miche died to it. If Miche was going to be so pathetic anyway I would have just preferred seeing him dead and the giant titan walking away in the BG so my impression of Miche doesn't get ripped to pieces and so it doesn't feel like the show is trying to show once again that humans lost and titans won for the millionth time.

As someone who isn't up to date with the manga...

WHAT. A titan that can talk!? That's amazing.
It's amazing how fast these titans are becoming intelligent.
Loved seeing the titan pressed up against the wall in fear of the beast titan thing.

I'm so terrified and excited for next week's episode.
Can I just say how beautiful Mikasa and Eren's mom is?
As well as Hange ofc. She's great.

I've watched the first season back when it was curretly airing with a very open mind (and to understand THE anime of 2013 hype). Will admit it was alright at best for me. It was enjoyable enough to justify watching it to the end and move on to other anime. Although it left questionable plotholes to me (but I don't read any manga so blame me on that). And yet here I find myself again watching this season again. The OP is decent, some.of the OST during the episode felt questionable (those retro sounding beep songs) and the titans looked goofier than season one. The beast titan seems like an interestinf character in which I hope will get more background coverage to find more out about it in future episodes (again I didn't read the manga so).

Though I am quite disappointed to find out that we are only going to have 12 episodes after so many years..

(Summary at the bottom for the TL;DR version)

Here it is, the episode many fans have been salivating at the mouth for for literal years. Will this new season be worth it? I think it’s far too soon to judge that but heres what I thought worked and what didn’t.

Now I never was that enthusiastic for the first season, and to sum in up, nothing in this seasons first episode has changed that stance. The OP was playing it safe by taking parts of the first two openings. Of course, it can’t live up to the hype of the first season’s OP but it’s… alright? The EP is fairly meh thus far, though it might be a thing where it makes more sense as the anime goes on. The animation as always looks fantastic and the 3D on the horses I felt wasn’t half bad either.

Weirdly enough, I think one of the best aspects of this episode was the music. It had used cues from older tracks and either remixing them or repurposing them. The new music is quite good as well, giving the anime a good dose of dread and trepidation when it needed it.

Judging the characters and story this is way too hasty, so all I will comment on is that I disliked the use of its own cliche tropes (screaming at the top of your lungs despite the intention being to sneak around when literally a half dozen titans are nearby, making overly dramatic statements about the importance of what you’re seeing, etc). Making everything seem incredibly dramatic (like what Death Note had done) kinda sucks me out of the situation when you have to constantly keep doing it.

Lastly, there has been some interesting new developments. There appears to be a very hairy and tall titan who is capable of human speech and that there is a Titan *inside* the wall, which both are interesting enough plot points to intrigue audiences to seeing what those are about. Though if there really ARE Titans inside the walls, how exactly are they being maintained…? And couldn’t they break out at any time?

Summary: A fairly decent start to this season. It wasn’t nearly as memorable as the first seasons first episode, despite both having a “shock” moment (won't spoil but it is rather telegraphed and underwhelming in this episode), yet the animation and sound continues to be a high point. Narratively, it seems like there will be some interesting additions to the Titan mythos and we might get more insight into the characters (about time). I think it will be an interesting season, whether for good or bad reasons.

Overall the episode looks great. The epic soundtrack is back. But I'm curious if this season lives up to the expectations.

If it's true to the manga then it will be ROCK! The materials is already awesome,so no need to worry about the story! If they just rearrange it a little to give it more dramatic vibe just like this episode but still stick true to the manga + have an amzing animation an music, it's absolutely will be better than the first season!

@TheServant the cgi scene for the horse did not affect the series at all. As long as the cgi isn't too much and is in non important scenes, I'm cool with it. Heck, I didn't even notice it until I did a rewatch.


They will use the CGI for the colossal titan, so I think it will be important lol

Well, this show certainly knows how to come back with a bang almost instantly, but ignoring everything else, a Titan can talk? That's an exceptionally interesting development, and I'm really hoping we see a lot more of this "Beast Titan" this season, cos I'm really eager to find out just what he's actually up to. Let's just hope the show can maintain this quality for the remainder of its run, but then I'm sure it can considering how consistently good this show has been so far.

OP is awesome as well, as is to be expected with Linked Horizon.

Could someone please remind my of the landscape/map of Aot, I completely forgot it. So we had 3 walls right? I thought one was already breached in history. And Wall Rose is the 2nd layer? Thanks in advance!


3 large walls, each one with a series of protruding small "districts" that have the doors and to make titans focus around those instead of spread all around the wall.

First wall fell in season 1, a district on the second wall was breached as well but titan Eren sealed it.

Now titans have appeared inside the second wall.


Thank you very much!

So excited to be back! Loved the episode. Almost wishing I hadn't read the manga so I could be more surprised but oh well.
The new season started off very brutal with Mike's death. I was watching it and questioning why I was not affected by it. I guess I got used to it long ago. I'll probably rewatch this episode before the 2nd one is aired.

So it begins. Attack on Titan Season 2 finally is here.
It started pretty fast with Mike's death. That was horrifying.
Opening is kinda weird. Who the fuck put dinosours in there ? and ending spoils so much.

The episode was fine, I read the manga, so I knew what to expect. They keep up the quality.

I was more interested in the new OP, because the first season's OST was just simply awesome.

I rewatched the OP a few times, and I find most of it really cool, just like the music. It's really similar to the 2nd opening, but it is fine.
What I found weird in the new opening is that "predators"-scene at the end. I know what they mean, what they symbolize, but I simply dislike it, especially with that dinosaur. Seems a bit off...

By the way, I do not recommend analyzing the scenes in the OP for anyone that dislikes spoilers, because there are at least two scenes spoiling very important details if someone realizes them.

The ending surprised me. It is full of minor spoilers. Fortunately it's hard to understand them.

It was a great episode as expected, my only strife was with the OP which was completely mediocre. On the other hand, the ED was unique and intriguing and i was wondering if someone who's read the manga could explain the details to me.

A solid start to season 2. =)

OP song was great, but for now, I prefer the first OP song from season 1.

For the content of the episode itself, it was certainly surprising to see the beast titan being able to speak the same language as the humans. For poor Mike though, he was too petrified to respond to the beast titan and when he desperately readied his sword again, the beast titan ordered the smaller titans to finish him off. Mike's death scene was very brutal indeed. >__<

I want to know just how the titans are already residing in Wall Rose, but I doubt that Pastor will be speaking anything about that anytime soon.

Despite only being 12 episodes, I'm sure this second season will be epic and brutal, just like the first season. =)

Holy shit, Beast Titan right off the bat... I have to admit, I loved his voice. Too bad for Mike, though, that was a brutal way to die.

A fitting start to a long-expected sequel. Also, those sprinting (or breaking) Titans were superb.

I'm craving more. I might wait for the season to be done airing, even though I can't go like that. I have a few amount of weeb friends, and THEY SPOIL. It's dangerous. I might skip school and stay home.

Actually, I thought the ED was better. I'm not sure if you can compare them, but it just felt so fitting. The OP, however, didn't give me as much as I expected. I was hoping for that epic jump after chorus

Did you really...?....just compare a single small scene that bothered you TO BERSERK SEASON2!?
Berserk is a great anime, excluding the second season.
SnK is better, to me. It's my 3rd favourite anime after Grisaia no Kajitsu (Mainly Visual Novel) and Kino no Tabi

Finally, season 2!
I completely forgot what happened in season 1, but as I read in the comments, episode 1 started off where season 1 ended, so that's nice.
The new OP isn't exciting as the first OP, but it's okay.
That 'Beast Titan' really reminded me of Big Foot xd
I thought the episode was great, it went so fast, it only felt like I was watching for 10 minutes.
I actually like the ending and the song. It has something creepy which I like.
Poor Mike, felt really bad for him.

Can't wait for episode 2!

Look at that animation! I sincerely hope that they will stick to the manga.
Dat OP sounds like a mash-up between both the 1st season's OP. Still hyped tho
Got so many things to say, but I'll reserve that for later episodes.
