| 6 years. I was a kid going through the early stages of puberty when season 1 aired and I would watch this on Sunday mornings. 6 years I have waited for the basement revelation. Fast forward 6 years - I'm a fully grown adult. After 56 episodes we FINALLY figure out what's in the basement. Only took 1/3rd of my life to figure out lmao. In all seriousness this was good but expected. I think everyone already had a feeling that human life (possibly completely different societies and civilizations?) existed outside the walls. Looking forward to the next ep! |
| *insert cringey anime reference here* |
| Gonna be the longest week on my life , fml |

| I think the reactions to next ep will be a lot crazier. |

| So, the asshole who spoiled this reveal to me on Facebook was right. And Eren's father was Jew-ish something? Maybe the three walls are like a extreme concentration camp. Can't wait for next week's episode. |
 |
| Anime only person here. I wasn not spoiled at all and this twist really hit me. Loved it. |
ABDoesThings said: Haha, yeah, that makes sense. It's just that when Grisha's flashback was shown, with the guardian next to the wall, that was the only thing that came to my mind; with the three walls being a sort of parallel to that city.SaiDrew said: Nah that's quite fucked up lol. It's not a concentration camp that's for certain otherwise you'd be seeing them working like slaves. So, the asshole who spoiled this reveal to me on Facebook was right. And Eren's father was Jew-ish something? Maybe the three walls are like a extreme concentration camp. Can't wait for next week's episode. |

| This episode felt pretty slow paced compared to normal tbh, but that end credits scene made up for it. Man it opens up so many possibilities like holy crap. I got a bunch of theories starting to brew, but I'm pretty sure the next episode will be entirely following Grisha in his home town so I might as well hold off. |
| Episode 7 didn't have astonishingly animated action scenes, but it was so much entertaining. Emotions and atmosphere were just real. You could feel the drama of Eren and Mikasa returning to their old home, years after titans demolished it; then you could perfectly feel the tension when they were in that basement at last. While I'm not a huge fan of flashbacks because many of them are made badly or turn into "more complicated recap episode", this episode shows how a good anime episode with a lot of flashbacks should look and feel like. Armin is having a hard time while trying to deal with that wicked situation of him becoming a titan who ate Bertholdt instead of the one who sacrificed himself in order to defeat Bertholdt. Levi is such a charismatic person. I think he should be a leader after Erwin's death, though I agree with what he said: a hole created after Erwin's death cannot be easily fixed, ergo it will be hard to replace that caliber's person as Erwin with somebody else. Oh well, first in line to succeed Erwin is Hanji who became a leader automatically. Levi needs to wait, it seems, lol. Going back to Levi, I loved him in this episode. xD I mean, this episode was serious and had perfect atmosphere, but his funny one-liners gave everything even more colours and added some loose elements to seriousness (it was necessary, the Basement's reveal is here at last!) of this episode. About the reveal itself, it was good, but not something big for me. Like, we (I'm talking about anime-only viewers) don't know who titans are exactly (experiments? another specie?). Huge plus for story of "Shingeki no Kyojin" for confirming that the humanity did not fall and there are more people outside the walls who also have some high-tech in their hands. It makes the entire universe more real, because implying that whole humanity was almost erased because titans cornered them sounded maybe fun, buy after a while of thinking it started sounding quite ridicilous. Good there were some informations anyway. I had in mind a scenario in which Eren's dad left... nothing. Just nothing, or maybe only a letter saying some words to him and briefly explaining their world's situation, but nothing more. It turned out to be different and I'm glad it went like this. Another 10/10 episode. My jaw maybe did not land on the ground, but this episode was phenomenal. While some of previous questions were answered, even more questions are to be asked after this episode. Also, I loved similarities between Eren & Mikasa and Grisha & his friend. It was not only about concept, because we could see a lot of graphical similarities as well, just as @Modernoir showed in his post before. I'm interested in episode oribiting around Grisha's life as a young boy. By the way, did he live in something like "ghetto of poverty"? |
| I got teary eyed just watching this episode. I wasn't sure how they would handle this episode since they would have to extend one chapter but WIT more than delivered. The director has done an incredible job with the adaptation. I can't even get mad over the content they cut for season 3 part 1. Too many feels. Its been so long but the anime is finally here. This episode is the calm before the storm, and what a storm it'll be. |
| @Adnash93 "By the way, did he live in something like "ghetto of poverty"?" just wait till next week ;O as you said you can already guess its gonna revolve around him. you guys still need to avoid spoilers for 3 weeks, don't think you are save ;O |
You son of a .. turtle |
| Great episode overall, adaptation pretty much went the way I thought it would go. Only problem were the faces which people pointed out, but it's not too big since they will probably be fixed in the blu-ray version. The tonal shift in the post-credits scene hit a lot harder than the manga. The manga essentially had the same art-style, which was the same in the episode, except music, colouring and lighting made the impact the most. |
| god damn here we go again. i love the pace, fillers, and new ost in the post credits was refreshing to hear. faye and grisha in their childhood is so adorable, i wonder who is the voice actors for them? cant wait for next ep! |

| Time to see what the world is like outside the walls in a steampunk world. |

| Can't wait for the rest of the journal! Armin is feeling the burden, poor guy. |

| When I started watching AOT, I thought we would know what lies in the basement at the end of the first season. Then I realized she should get it during the second season. Until I figured out it wouldn't be covered by the season 3 part 1. But on this month of June 2019, no more joking around : they finally entered this hella coveted basement ! It actually brought a capital information : there is a civilization outside the wall (at least a population). The after credits scene felt so special, I'm glad next episode will continue on this set. Though, I really got tiny chills when watching the ED, all these shots showing S1 moments actually made me think "it was such a longtime ago" (so many different fates for characters who were at first recruits : Annie now being like Disney's "Sleeping Beauty", Bertolt finished eaten, Reiner being a traitor, Krista became Historia & then a Queen, ... etc). |
 |
| Truly one of the greatest shows of the past decade. I really hope they do a complete adaptation in the near future and in good hands at that. Was the wall at the post credit scene the berlin wall? Feels like it is |
| Great episode as always. I loved the sequence with Eren and Mikasa walking towards the house and reminiscing about all their times in the house. I do recall that at some point in the series it was mentioned that humanity exists outside the walls but what I didn't expect was to see how advanced humanity outside actually is. This is actually what doesn't make sense to me at this point, if humanity outside the wall is so advanced why would they let this small portion of humanity inside the walls suffer the way they do? There are only two reasons I can come up with for now. First, humanity outside the walls was met with some sort of post apocalyptic event wiping or converting a lot of the people into titans with technology regressing because knowledge was lost, however this doesn't seem to match up with the whole royal family brainwashing and founding titan stuff which I thought existed from the beginning of the world. The only way to explain that would be if said post apocalyptic event somehow triggered that but given that Grisha was in the post credit sequence, it seems like this flashback isn't actually from too long ago. Second, the whole humanity inside the walls thing is just some elaborate experiment for what purpose I do not know but it matches up with what we've heard from the titan shifters about humanity inside the walls needing to die. However, I can't really figure out a plausible reason as to why an experiment like this would be necessary. Excited to see what the real truth is, hopefully it's nothing I've thought of. Next week should be fantastic. Soundtrack was really on point this episode. |

| The reveal is finally here my dudes, after so many years. Good episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This is where I was upto in the manga I think, or maybe bits of next episode. Will be fun being anime only again. |
| Didn't think this episode would just be one chapter with some anime original scenes. Well, they added some scenes from the next chapter after the end credits. Eren hugged Armin the same way Mikasa had hugged Eren in season 1. They changed the appearance of the lock in the basement quite a bit. lol. I think the basement scene was more tense in the manga because of the use of short dialogues and camera angles that made almost every panel look like it would be the last one. Maybe the anime was equally good, but I just didn't realise it because I already knew the story. (Although, this never happened with the previous seasons.) |
| dayum feels great to not have been spoiled after all these years ,so shit they really are going this way huh i never really picked up on all the foreshadowing but the last season teaser raised some serious what the hell is going on questioning like is there some kind of parallel world shit happening when i saw that Napoleon uniform. i have no idea what's in store but it looks like shit is gonna change a lot now |
 |
| About time they make it to the basement xD took long enough lol. Very well done episode though, music suited the scenes at the end and the after credit scene has my really excited for where the show might lead next |
 |
| Oh wow. I thought something was off when the beast titan started making references to baseball and one hit KO's. I didn't think about it too much but holy moly.. Now I'm wondering how modern the world really is. So is it one hit KO's in video games he was referencing? or is it boxing? Oh man I can't wait. |
| its about time the books get revealed, i've been waiting. i'm suspecting the next three episodes will be focused on each individual book. |
| Can't believe that after so many years of waiting and so many deaths...it's finally here! the BASEMENT!!! They didn't reveal much yet but those books probably will tell us Grisha's story and how all of this happened! I was kinda surprised when the mom told Grisha to put the band on his arm...it kinda reminds me a lot of WW2, damn. I hope it's just a coincidence. Can't wait for the next episode! |

i didn't say ymir i said different characters buddy you read the manga i am very confused why did you misunderstand me? |
You son of a .. turtle |
| Honestly, this reveal is as underwhelming as it gets to me. The story takes ages to get to this point and makes a point of being super mysterious about it. Even the act of opening the book was turned into something mysterious and tense. But instead of a crazy, groundbreaking revelation... all this did was confirm the already-confirmed and obvious point that those in power had been lying and keeping secrets. And here I was thinking it was going to be something along the lines of "at first there were only titans, but somebody found a way to turn them into humans and erase their memory to control them from within the walls" or something. Instead, my reaction was "so what?". People were saying the series would get more complex with the reveal... well, I hope the series reaaaaaaaaaally elaborates on this, because so far things don't look much different at all. |
| Inside the walls is like living in the Brazilian Amazon and outside the walls is like living in Switzerland or some developed country xd The truth is that I feel fortunate to have known the world of anime and to have been able to see such a masterpiece as SnK. This is super addictive, each chapter leaves you wanting to see more, the hype this anime transmits is incredible. On the other hand, I know that the studio will no longer be the same for the next season, but I hope that the studio that resumes the work of animating SnK will be as serious as Estudio Wit and don't swill like J.C. Staff did with so many other series. |
 |
| Looking forward to next episode although I feel the impact, whatever it is, would be much much greater if so many didn't say: the anime onlies will ... |
| Every episode that goes by, I end more empty inside. There's something about seeing Carla alive that makes me sad just by looking at her silhouette. Excellent episode, first time I read the OP lyrics, and as always, Linked Horizon getting exactly to the point. It will be a long week to get the truth animated... let's see how many people hate the future direction of the series. |

Modernoir said: Nim0174 said: the OST they played was amazing i also didn't expect it to last 2 minutes glad to see liberio finally in the anime :3 Agreed! God it felt like the start of a new anime, they've handled it so damn well already. I'm not ready for the next 3 weeks, bros. 3 weeks? It's going to take long for the next episode? |
| A chill episode after all that drama and action happened so far I liked it, I'm really curious about the rest of the season Many are saying here that the next episodes will change the entire series, I can't possibly imagine what will happen :o |
