On_the_Lam said: keragamming said: They already suspected them since season 1, hence why they already move them to a different location from when eren and Annie where doing battle, not only that they got rid of all the 104th gear. Rewatch season 2 episode 1, and you will get it, even Reiner was suspecious of that. They showed that flashback for the viewers like you, that may have missed that they were already suspecious of Reiner and bertholdt. Lets just say Reiner mental state isn't normal right now. Yea, the cgi collosal titan sucks I agree there. Sorry, but isn't it a bit too fucking convenient that Armin remembers the Female Titan looked at her hand? They've been doing the mid-episode flashback thing a bit too often. I really appreciated them in the first episode, though, but now they're being overused. Eren was literally blatantly told that Reiner and Bertolt were titans, and he was also told by Armin and Hanji the same thing, and he still didn't want to believe what he was hearing? Please. its not bad writing at all, its just that you guys are use to cliche over dramatic reveals. Also here is a good explanantion on why Reiner reveal his identity. https://www.reddit.com/r/ShingekiNoKyojin/comments/68ghuf/manga_spoilers_a_sudden_realization_about_chapter/ Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

On_the_Lam said: sakamoto-kun said: I agree with the CGI issues, but Reiners behaviour isn't that stupid, if you take in account that he suffers under some kind of personality disorder. There was literally no indication or foreshadowing that he even suffers from a fucking personality disorder in the first place. He's talking about being a warrior or a soldier. you could say warrior(outside of the wall) is about mission comes first while being soldier(being 3 years inside) he wants to protect his comrade. |

| I knew people would flip their shit about how nonchalantly they revealed themselves but there's a reason as for why. I guess you'll find out more in the coming episodes but let me just say this, the story is much more complicated than you may think. As for execution of how they adapted it, it was brilliant. The OST is magic in SnK, I love it! I also actually like the CGI used for the Colossal but I can understand why others don't. It definitely does seem out of place. |

[sopiler]There was literally no indication or foreshadowing that he even suffers from a fucking personality disorder in the first place.[/spoiler] It may be hard to notice, but if you pay close attention there were hints here and there even though they weren't obvious. In the course of the story it will become clearer. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Ahh Reiner's honesty is brilliant. CGI CT looks like shit but he is not that important. I want to see Eren vs Reiner fight. It's gonna be awesome |
 |
| This was always sort of a lackluster twist; I feel like anyone not completely obsessed with the show would just be like "huh, so that one guy and the other guy were titans." We spent a little bit of time with Reiner and Bertolt, but we really didn't know them well enough to warrant feeling COMPLETELY BETRAYED. |
| omg so amazing!!! Attack on Titan saving anime since 2013, this is pure Epic |
| I'm a manga reader, but god damn this is epic af. |
 |
| So doesn't anyone else think the reveal was way more anticlimatic than anticipated? |
 |
| That episode was so good, it was well worth the wait. Though Yoshimasa Hosoya who voices Reiner is said to take a leave due to health concerns till the end of the year. I wonder if this will affect production of the remaining 6 episodes at all. |
My Candies:     |
| Wow...just wow. I honestly think this actually might be the best + most exciting anime episode ive every watched. Im really going to miss AOT after this season as its been so good, hope they dont wait years for the third season! |
| Their transformations were awesome. It's about time. Looks so great animated. So much hype for the next episode |
fk that was such an intense episode. my heart was legit beating so much towards the end where Reiner revealed him and Berty's true identity. This gif of Eren is legit how i feel about this episode, and the reveal of the Reiner and Berty's identity :'( |

Iolo said: That episode was so good, it was well worth the wait. Though Yoshimasa Hosoya who voices Reiner is said to take a leave due to health concerns till the end of the year. I wonder if this will affect production of the remaining 6 episodes at all. I would assume they probably finished recording everything, especially since this is only 12 episodes. I don't know for sure though. Unrelated to your comment though, it's quite sad to see so many people complaining about the way Bertolt and Reiner revealed their true identities. It seems a lot of people are disappointed that they didn't pull the typical "IT WAS US ALL ALONG, I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING BUT YES, WE'RE THE ONES WHO FUCKED EVERYONE OVER 5 YEARS AGO MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT US WE'RE BAD GUYS!!!!!!" And I think that just goes to show how common such a generic way of handling a plot twist is. This way was much better, for reasons that @Modernoir has been explaining above. Seriously people, not every bad guy confession has to be overly bombastic and dramatic. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| woooooooooooow! this episode..just WOW! |
| lul Colossal titan done in bad CGI |

| one of the most random moment in the manga "hey eren, come here. btw, I'm armored and he is colossal, wanna come with us?" literally in panel background out of nowhere. I remember laughing out loud to this panel, long long ago before SnK become a thing lol that ending scene was epic with really dramatic BGM when transforming. hype! but CGI colossal? are you kidding me? I remember there was a old forum post in mangafox that done analysis of how reiner and berhtold are titans, long, long before author revealed them. that was amazing. |
| 2B or not 2B? |
| The CGI was horribru. Lack of money it seems lol |
| Best episode so far Damn can't wait for next week |
 |
| HEY LOOK IT'S THE CGI COLOSSAL TITAN FROM MY NIGHTMARES |
 |
| The build-up to the big revelation was perfectly done, really. I can imagine how people would be sitting on the edge of their chairs right before the big reveal. It was crazy. Great episode. |
  |
| Goosebumps were real here. Of course weather had to be cloudy as always but the mood was perfect for that moment. Vogel Im Kafig was so perfect. |
| Dude WTF JUST HAPPENED???? I was not expecting all of this in one episode My brain is like almost exploding :O ! |
 If you watched 13 Reasons Why in 13 hours in a row (like me) you got my respect ! |

I remember laughing out loud to this panel, long long ago before SnK become a thing lol Same, i was like "Wtf is this?" and then started laughing how random was this but just when they turned into Titans i believed in that! It was a crazy episode for sure |
| If you watched 13 Reasons Why in 13 hours in a row (like me) you got my respect ! |
| I remember laughing when Reiner just randomly told them they're the titanshifters in the manga. I was expecting the anime to be at least a bit different. It's like the mangaka had enough that point and wanted to take it really easy. I mean... we surely can't say that revelation was a cliché. I can't imagine any simpler way to reveal something that important. Hopefully that actually was supposed to be some random comedy, otherwise I have no idea what it was. |
| The cgi lmao, why did they add this |
| Welp, that escalated really quickly, didn't expect these revelations, but man that cliffhanger... let the haters be |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Wow... I was somehow spoiled about Reiner, and I was having doubts about Berthold, but the scene was really different from what I expected! Yeah, that's us, the ones that killed your mother and other thousands of people! O.o I must say that if you pay attention, the details about the identity of the armored titan were all there, it's just that it's difficult to notice them if you don't know where to look. For example the fact that Annie attacked from the right wing of the formation, same of where Reiner thought Eren was, was something I noticed only after getting spoiled. Still not understanding well Reiner's behaviour, but well, I guess we will understand more next week. |
 |
| The CGI and sudden music switch were pretty wtf |
| I knew that Reiner could titan-shift since someone told me that back in 2013 (super pissed, still). but him just telling Eren like "yeah, that's a thing" was a surprise. Didn't think they'd reveal themselves NOW at that moment. Next saturday is so far away D: |
