ItsXolo said: AoT fans will indiscriminately call any episode "amazing", regardless of the actual content. At best, you can call this episode "necessary character development and foreshadowing for future events". But to call this episode "amazing" just dilutes the word 'amazing' into having no meaning at all. This was one of my favorite chapters in the manga, I can understand why persons didn't like the last episode, but this episode imo was really engaging and it kept me at the edge of my seat. On the other hand I can understand why some persons don't like this episode, since it was basically a episode that blue balls the audience. But that is what I like the most about this episode, it makes you question various things and ultimately makes you think of various theories, I know some persons aren't a fan of that so its understandable. So yes this episode was amazing. You need to understand their is a thing call a opinion/having a different perspective, which is why we all don't like the same series, one thing its trash to someone but it is gold to another person. I'm annoyed when there are people like you who think their opinion is the right opinion. Another thing, the word "amazing" has no value without someones opinion. |

| Hmm thats a significant undertaking from the scouts though even though they have yet to recover from recent losses. Hange really can stand doing nothing eh even though she's injured to this degree. Man the scene as the scouts charge towards the forest really conveys the strength of the corps though. Hmm so Reiner cut off both of Erens arms to stop him from resisting eh. Yea i guess both of you are having a bad day. Hmm they are pretty deep in titan territory though. Without their powers or 3D gear they won't be going anywhere. Im amazed that in this situation Ymir can still stay calm though. Better for Eren to remain calm and logical for the time being though. Man the scouts attack sure is desperate though. Well telling Mikasa to relax now is like talking to a brick wall. Thats some good wisdom from Hannes though. No water and missing limbs eh their day sure is pretty shitty lol. Hmm Reiner seems to have two different personalities and persona's there though. I guess being both a titan and a soldier of humanity has caused those two to merge in his mind eh. Seeing him still act as the loyal soldier was bound to make Eren angry because of what Reiner. Hmm so thats how Marco died eh. His two different persona's are contradicting with themselves eh. Man the emotional balance for this must have been immense. Eren really needs to rein in that temper of his though. Still we got to learn a lot about Reiner and Bertolt's motivations and contradictions though. |

| This is honestly one of the best episodes of the season so far and I've been looking foward to this one ever since this season started since I loved this part in the manga. |
| reiner's VA did a great job this season, wow! and next episode might reveal ymir's past? i hope so |
Me this entire episode.. poor Eren  |
 |
| Even if this episode is all talk (burst of emotions talk) and no action, this episode was still awesome! Eren is now quite confused who is the real enemy. LOL @ Zoe Hanji, one of the soldiers just said to her "so just pass out and wait until i return" and then she realled passed-out! lolz! LOL @ Reiner, his words are all jumbled-up and made no sense and even made Eren so pissed-off! EPIC clash of shouting! between Reiner & Eren. Surver Corps are now close to their destination! 5/5. |
 |
| Not enough screaming/10. |
 |
| When Ymir was a tell who is the "bad", she was interrumped!!! :( |
| I actually like these kind of episodes when they explain a lot of things than all action |
| I don´t know what they are prentending to do with the anime. I mean when this season finish, we will have to wait another 3 years? I read the manga, but the ones who didn´t its a shame. |
| I like this show with less action to be honest. There is still so much we don't know or understand about the world they live in. |
| For an episode that is nothing but exposition, none of the mysteries are answered, the only thing we learn is that Reiner is suffering denial, it certainly wasn't worth the 20 minutes. |

| Why do they keep holding back the fucking truth? I thought this was the perfect time to reveal everything. Another set up. |
 |
| This whole episode was exposition, but it didn't feeling boring at all. Reiner's struggle with his true identity as a warrior versus the fabricated solider one he convinced himself of was really interesting. I'm wondering if they'll be able to explain the deal with the beast titan before the end of the season. Somehow i doubt it XD Only 3 more episodes to go... |
| Despite there being little to no action this was a great episode. The tension in the dialogue was real, and I can't wait to find out what Reiner and Berthold's deal is. |
| It was alright as always. Pretty faithful, though Reiner's mental trouble comes out even "funnier" animated as on paper (not their fault). 3/5 The best part being they are reacting to an episode named "Speaking". If only it was the Coup d'Etat story... Their reactions would be such a delight (even man to man action would dissatisfy them). |
| Character development for characters nobody gives a shit about, yay! |
| nice episode, the dialogue was very interesting. i think that it is kind of realistic that reiner and bert would be fucked up after everything, reiner's defense mechanism does make sense when you think about how he has been acting throughout the series. also ymir please be sensible. also lmao, an episode with no action does not equal boring. at least for me, this season has been absolutely amazing. |
| Well... this episode didn't answer as many questions as I hoped it would xD But seriously if Ymir really trusts those two mass murderers I can only pity her naivity... |
| Me: Wait the whole week for the next episode. They'll be alone and have a chance to talk, it seems like we'll be getting some answers! Episode: Talk talk talk. Make it cryptic to create confusion. At the end of the day, answer nothing and raise even more questions. Seriously? I didn't expect another weak episode after what happened last week. It took a whole episode with unnecessary talk and a most pointless flashback for everyone to get moving... but why stop there? It may be a perfect opportunity for important information to be revealed. People are certainly eager to understand the reasoning behind Reiner's actions and his motivation. But that's not how we roll, is it? We'll just conveniently get nowhere like those Dragon Ball fights where it takes 10 episodes for someone to land an actual punch! This is getting old.. fast... |
| Overall I thought it was a good episode. I can see where people would consider it to be a little bit boring from the amount of dialogue (especially if you already know the manga, and can know the subtle differences and similarities in what's coming next). In the context of just the show though, there was some new relevant information, and the dialogue is a relaxing change or pace. It's good seeing the scenes animated. |
 |
| Ymir bitch is being a bitch yet again... Anyway Dem scouts are closing by YES! |
RabidFish said: we got plenty of info, actually: (non-manga reader) - Both of those 2 didn't even have a clue that Ymir was a titan, she acts on her own and her goals are not the same as the others. - The monkey titan is not only some kind of leader/father figure for the 2 of them, but Ymir doesn't know who he is. - Reiner's got deep issues with his mental health, probably even split-personality disorder. That's going to be fun! - Neither Bert nor Reiner seem to have control over common titans, unlike Annie and the Mokey-titan. BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII reiner is a top tier character rn |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| Honestly, I'm confused as to why so many people are upset about this dialogue filled episode. So much was revealed during this conversation. We now know that; Reiner has PTSD Reiner, Bert & Annie witnessed Marco's death, the first and only 3 character to have done so which we know of. Ymir has a good idea about how she became a titan Eren was important enough for Reiner and Bert to take back home with them As a manga reader, I know why all of these things are important to the overall anime, but as an anime only watcher, you can at least appreciate how much character development these four characters have in this one episode, as slow as it was. The only thing that annoyed me was them showing the scene with Marco. I feel like it was too early for that. I also hope the next episode won't be focused on Ymir's past because that in itself is a big spoiler about the origins of "titans" Cole101168 said: also one last question? who was taken with Eren & Ymir there was one more, WHO was it ??? It was Bertholdt. His colossal form took Ymir, then he left his titan form, carried her, and used the 3DMG to jump onto Reiner (who was holding Eren) to escape. |

keragamming said: 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. You think I don't appreciate good non-action shows? Look at my favorites. SnK is trying to be something it doesn't do well, or even deserve to be. I would try to reference back some dialogue or a scene, but there's nothing worth remembering. This episode, could literally not exist and nothing would change if they picked up from the next. |
| fuck erin is so intense hahaha this episode felt like it went by fast |

Everything is extremely well paced and well articulated without losing the series' ambiguity. I love how they're explicitly showing Eren's hatred towards Reiner and Berthold throughout strong flashbacks and inner monologue. Usually I'm very critical of Shonen series but this one is amazing! |
| I don't understand a thing, I am as confused as Eren and it hurts. What hurts more I don't think I will be less confused by the end of the season. |
| My Anime List | |
| well this was so much Reiner...well I Kinda felt sorry for him.... and eren well it was so frustrating to see him not knowing what is actually happening... |
