Personally, I love these slowburn episodes. When they're well directed they're brilliant. The tension rises slowly and gets unbearable at points. |

| Seriously, people are complaining because there's no action ? Although there's a lot of character development for once ? |
| well that was easly the best episode of this season so far, made my finally real hyped again to bad there are only 3 episodes left lol |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| I liked this ep. We saw a development of Reiner's background, and it was really interesting. So many questions still unanswered. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the next part. :O 4/5 |
| After reading all through to the latest chapter, it's amazing to see just how spoilerish-yet-not-spoiling the author made this series. I swear watching this episode with no knowledge raises so many questions, but once everything comes to light, watching this episode is almost one lightbulb moment after another. it's pretty good how intricate and well thought out the events and dialogue in this episode was in the context of whats to come in seasons 3 or 4 and even 5. Absolutely loving it. |

| Anime-only peasants that need "action". Freaks, AoT is a good manga/anime anyways. Also, Don't watch next season (political arc) 'cause it has a lot of dialogue... Assholes... |

I WILL NEVER BE OKAY. |

| This fandom goes crazy over Marco's death. I never really saw him as an important character. Well there goes Eren acting on impulse as always. I imagine the anime watchers being confused about Reiner split personality. I've always sympathized with Reiner and Bertl even throughout the manga. |

| Dam pretty good episode! Hope it keeps like this! It's really a great adaptation from the source material! Modernoir said: Considering pretty much all of the dialogue is new and we're further getting to learn about Reiner, Bertolt and Ymir, I think this episode was pretty damn interesting. That small flashback scene though, damn... Oh well, now we wait for the usual mass of "WHERE'S THE ACTION WHY IS THERE STORY IN MY MIKASA-SLASHER ANIME?!" comments. Also, anime-original Ymir flashback next week? I think they will show a little of Ymir's past! The difference between the Manga and the Anime is that her past is only showned 80+ chpater I think... (Sry if I'm wrong) |
| A good episode, I hope Ymir is not actually on Reiner and Bert's side I quite like her... Also, contrary to most I actually like these dialogue episodes so I'm looking forward to that political arc/3rd season. And btw is anyone else having problem with mal at the moment? I can't update my anime status.. |

| I really loved that they finally made it painfully clear that Reiner suffers from a dis-associative disorder / split personality. I felt that it wasn't obvious to anime-only viewers (like me) that he was suffering from this. There were clues but I like this sort of definitive evidence also. HOW they went about revealing it was pretty awesome too. How he just *poof* became another person in the blink of an eye with no apparent trigger. I adored Eren's reaction to it too, lol. It was so typically Eren. I do sympathize with Reiner. If he was created from an infant or child to be a titan and didn't really have a choice about it all (I've not read the manga so I'm speculating so don't shoot me if I'm wrong and don't correct me cuz I want to find out from the story), then I can see where he'd fracture under such pressure. It was a dialogue heavy episode but all of it moved the story forward significantly. It also still managed to hold a high level of intensity and suspense, which this show has excelled at from the beginning. I am concerned that it's episode 9 and there seems to be SO much more yet to explain / reveal. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a long and painful wait for that. |
| A hero will sacrifice the one he loves to save the world. A villain will sacrifice the world for the one he loves. I'll take the villain. |
| Thank god for another boring af episode. It's not the lack of action that's really killing this series, it's how they drag on the most useless things and kill all suspense. RIP |
| Maybe I wasn't paying attention. Did they mention anything about their goal ? |

| Eren is a total retard. Love it when someone call him on his stupid tantrums. Also got to hand it to the author who was able the create a good story despite the stupid and hothead protagonist. |
| when people call this episode boring but say the one in which reiner and eren were fighting in their titan forms was the best one.....................well,i can't say i am surprised |
| I really really enjoyed this episode. |
 |
| Great episode. LOL that relaxing Titan. Not a care in the world. Reiner is crazy. He is getting confused. A solider or a warrior. Ahh so that's what happened to Marco. Annie so emotional then. Eren getting angry. Letting it all out. Who is the real enemy here? Survey Corps incoming. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| For an episode with little action and heavy on the dialogue, it was still intense and very enjoyable. Reiner's mentally is obviously in bits. First, he was serious about taking Ymir and Eren back to his and Bertholt's hometown, but then started speaking about getting a promotion as a soldier. At this rate, he can forget about a promotion and even marrying Christa/Historia altogether. Eren did his best to suppress his emotions, but he let it rip at Reiner in a heated argument between the two. I'm not sure what Ymir's goal is now in this situation, but I'm hoping she doesn't do something stupid that'll cause more chaos for Eren and the other Scouts. |
| Scouts are coming!!! I don't think Ymir will be on their side. Who is the real enemy!! Can't wait for all these secrets to be revealed. This is all much bigger than it seems.... These episodes are too short. I feel like I need to go back and rewatch both seasons once this is over, I feel like I missed so many subtle clues! |
    |
| I really enjoyed this episode, the mind games were really something, and I'm pretty excited to hear about Ymir's past (or a part of it!) I do wish we would have found out more about titans, especially the beast titan, but hopefully that'll be next episode! |
 |
| Great voice acting by Reiner and Eren's VA this episode |
| While Eren was calling Reiner and Bert mass murderers, I kept laughing because Eren doesn't even realize he killed hundreds of people while fighting Annie |
| second half was stronger than first half though I will say that - Ymir awnsering " who knows" when it came to guessing whose the big bad honcho behind wanting humanity extinct disappointed me there -The drama with berholdt concerning how he felt after being confronted by Eren about being a mass murderer was pretty lackluster but that's not surprising cause the character doesn't say much - that flashback of Reiner reacting to Marco's death should have been in the original episode it happened -existence of beast titan was brought up but we learned nothing new about him Other than that.pretty good episode And I guess people complaining about the lack of action this week aren't too fascinated by the plot of this show |

| Holy shit.. This show has turned to such garbage... What a shame |
| Pretty average ep, all just talk. |
 |
| Tree top talking: the episode lmao Seriously though, that was some intense talking right there- tfw the most aggressive character in the series tries not to be aggressive. Now Reiner's weird ass behaviour makes sense- he's a character of dualities. Here I thought the guy deserved an Oscar for his awesome acting, but he's just that far past breaking point that he's developed selective memory and is completely disillusioned. I always wondered why he wasn't more like Bertholdt or Annie who were pretty much loners- good ol' Reiner enjoyed his role as soldier a little too much! Good lord that scene with Marco was horrible. We finally get to see how he died and it was not pretty...in fact, Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie just watched him get mauled to death and whilst they didn't look happy the fact still stands. They let freckled Jesus die. Damn, they may as well have just killed him themselves and done it quickly. Apparently they were too cowardly to actually murder someone they knew well though, and just watched him suffer in agony :/ More Ymir next episode, and it looks like we're delving into her childhood! YAY! |

Peco said: Holy shit.. This show has turned to such garbage... What a shame Don't even bother watching the 3rd season when it comes, because that season is dialogue heavy and not much action. So if you are only interesting in the action in snk, then you will be disappointed, because the series from here on now is going to be more plot focus. So if you consider this season garbage now, I don't know what you will call the 3rd season. I bet by time this series reach the 4th season only the hardcore fans that are interesting in the plot will be the only one watching the series. Since its obvious majority of the fanbase is in it for the cool action scenes. What a shame. I can understand persons complaint for the last episode, but this episode gave the viewers a lot to chew on. |
| Finally an honestly good episode, sasuga SnK to create more questions than answers in an episode, damn I hate but also love that about this anime. Honestly I can see Eren going 'evil' from his hate of those two, torture them and brutalize them. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻ Ymir who's f*cking side are you on?! |
 |
| You know the story is gripping when a 20 minutes episode of just dialogue flew by. Anyways, I have to say I loved Eren's reaction to Reiner's disorder, simply no fucks given lol. Also, I was starting to think they were never gonna show fully what happened to Marco, so that little flashback took me by surprise. All in all, a really good episode |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| So much of a story building this episode, many pieces are still missing though.. |
Modernoir said: Benio_ said: What more can I say? This is the new One Piece. In what way? I don't remember One Piece being half as interesting as this. In the way that I'm expecting something to happen, but nothing happened at the end. Even when something did happened, it's intentionally being dragged on to waste time with flashbacks and drawn-out fights. I agree One Piece is not as half as interesting as this. But the direction where this anime is heading towards to, is very similar to One Piece. An example of an anime that's doing the opposite job of this is Re:zero, in which every episode is full of developments and didn't waste a single second of time, and that's why it's a 10/10 anime. |
O shit, another great episode! It seems that Reiner has split-personality, seeing his ambitious and kind soldier side was quite sad, considering their current circumstances... Also Bertholdt's reaction were priceless again, gosh. I guess I was a bit surprised to see him and Reiner just accepting being called murderers by Eren, I thought they'd be more like "it's not like that, you don't understand anything!" but nnnope. Eren's expressions were creepy too... T^T Urghhh knowing that plenty of answers were already introduced in manga makes me wanna catch up with it so badly! |
