| There was nothing wrong with the episode, and I appreciate the effort to stay as true to the manga as possible.... but man is it frustrating to have an entire episode that adds to or covers very little of the storyline when it's only a 12 episode season. |
| Can't wait for next episode for more Eren screaming at Reiner! |
 |
| The OST in this episode was spectacular, as always 10/10. Next episode...oh my xD Can't wait! |

What did we learn that was new about the characters? Nothing. Did they change at all? No. Did the story progress at all? No. Pointless episode. Don't make excuses for bad episodes just because you like the show as a whole. None of that needs to happen in EVERY episode. You are wrong, sir. If one of these things doesn't happen in a given episode, the least it can do is be entertaining to distract us, but it didn't. |

Don't make excuses for bad episodes just because you like the show as a whole. All this was was a quick breather after a very intense battle and by the end they're already chasing after Eren and everyone else. Nobody is calling it a masterpiece. Also don't act like episodes like these aren't common in other shows, especially battle shounen. Just because they're common doesn't mean they're excusable.If anything, that makes them more damnable. Again, don't make excuses for bad episodes. |

|
| Mostly calm episode, except during the flashback. |
 |
| lol at the DRAMATIC RATION EATING... but overall a decent breather ep until shit hits the fan again I guess. I liked the flashback to the trio's earlier days again, never not fun seeing young Mikasa kick some bullies' asses. |

Someone having a different viewpoint than you on an episode doesn't mean they're making excuses. Also if you thought it was bad you wouldn't have given it a "solid 3/5". Fanboys, always deflecting. An excuse is not a defense of one's viewpoint. An excuse says, "well, I know it's bad, but you can forgive it because *fill in the blank with an arbitrary reason*." Sure, I gave it a 3/5, because I didn't hate the episode, but objectively, it was a a bad episode. |

It's a textbook excuse, and clear evidence of someone without proper defense for their viewpoint. |

| Pretty slow ep. Really wanna see commander erwin's fighting skills tho. |
 |
| Okay honestly this episode wasn't the best and the only thing I can take out from it is holy DAMN, Armin and Mikasa were really eating whatever that was so aggressively. It was hilarious. Episode was boring, especially as someone who has read the manga and was expecting more. Flashback wasn't really needed, this episode was more of a "hey let's talk about how Eren won't die because of his strong will" thing. |
luccide said: lack of animators and Wit Studio having way too many projects to handle in a short amount of time.Sounds like manga still have a lot of arcs to get animated but WHY WHY 12 episodes only?!! |

|
| That was pretty toughing listening to Hannes' speech after the flashback we saw of the old days. |
| Definitely a slow episode but next episode looks interesting. The overdramatic eating was funny.  |
 |
| Predictably slow episode (it seemed obvious there would be a lull in the action)... I correctly guessed how the episode would start out, with Reiner and Bertholdt successfully kidnapping Eren; it was the obvious next step in the story. The flashbacks and whatnot could at least have done more to develop the characters beyond reiterating what we already know about them. At least the ending scene was interesting... I'm intrigued to see what happens next week. |
Pie is delicious. |
| Bet, will they arrive in time to saves Eren? |
| People who say this was a filler episode are bullshitting. It contained important characterization for the Shiganshina Trio, and set the stage for what is to come. Just because an episode lacks a fight scene doesn't mean it's less valuable to the story. |

| Hopefully something good happens soon 'cause this season is getting pretty meh overall. It started off rather good but just keeps getting more boring by the episode. ._. |

| well that was something but really it looked like a reminacing episode |

Tankiing said: So, NOBODY noticed the continuity error in this episode? I found it really hard to believe and thought I was mistaken so I went back and checked. Bertolt isn't wearing maneuver gear as he transforms into the colossal titan in episode 6, but as he exits the titan's husk in episode 8, he's magically got a set of gear on to allow him to hop on Reiner's back as they flee... Kind of minor in the whole scheme of things but the QCer should really be on top of that kind of mistake. Bertolt took the gear from the other soldier he ate. |
| The calm before the storm. That's what I would describe this episode as. The last twp episodes have been pretty major and intense as hell, so for this episode, it was a lot calmer, but only after Eren lost his fight against the Armoured thanks to the Colossus Titan falling of them. The flashback was interesting, but also pretty enjoyable when everyone starting to punch each other though. ^_^ With the group now on the move, I think it won't be long before they catch Eren, Ymir, Reiner and Bertholt in time. Time to brace myself for another intense episode next week. =D |
| Could have been an interesting episode if I cared even a little bit about Hannes... But I seriously don't. That flashback didn't tell us anything we didn't already know about Eren, Mikasa, Armin and Hannes relationship and I don't like Eren and Hannes, so yeah... Not cool. The rest of the episode is build-up and it's necessary after so many action-filled episodes. You need some scenario at some point. Luckily, Erwin & co managed to join Armin & co very quickly and Hange is there to save the day! The last minute was the best. I love this scene of the 4 titan shifters discussing together! Next episode will be cool. |
| The eating scene was hilarious. Unintentional or not. |
| A very good episode (even tho Eren is as annoying as ever). Gonna be fun next week. and I still wonder what beast titan has to do with all of this. Loving the mystery |
| Better than the previous episode - since we get some nice char interaction and a bit flashback of Hannes. (Nice to see him trying to fist fight against that shop owner ha ha.) Previous episode was boring tbh (most boring in the season) since it was mainly 1 vs 1 Titan fight which is boring. (If there are fights and action I prefer the big group/army battling.) But this will happen next episodes with them chasing after Eren. |
| Holy shit, that was some fucking intense ass cracker eating. On a serious note, I feel like they'll drag out the chase for 3+ episodes. |
Kittens-kun said: That thing you call "whining" is a fact. When we've been waiting for the second season for 4 years, and now the anime spends more than 1/3 of it's time showing us flashbacks just when something good is about to happen, disappointment kicks in and it leaves a bad taste. This has happened 8 episodes out of 12, I won't say all flashbacks were bad, I enjoyed some of them, but I'm honestly getting very tired of seeing them every single episode. I personally dislike that fact and voicing it, but if you don't have a problem then good for you Kittens.It is exactly what you're doing, so what's the problem? |

| Hannes missing them good ol' days... I know man same... ANYWAY can't wait for next ep. |
| @Metal_Ice786 Thanks for the correction, but that still leaves 7 other episodes. |

Go suck AoT's dong for all I care. |
