| We're finally at the basement! The secrets of course aren't going to live up to the long wait, but it's going to be interesting nonetheless. |
| Even when we're finally getting to learn what's in that basement, the show still drags it out to a ridiculous degree, spending several minutes getting Armin up to speed and then the rest of the first half of the episode walking to the house. As for what was revealed, I guess I should have seen it coming but it still completely caught me out, and I'm really not sure what to expect not or how to rationalise this revelation with everything else. |
| I've been waiting so long for this moment, to finally find out what was stored in the basement of the Jaeger household. The answers was sort of what I was expecting, but at the same time, it still caught me off-guard when it went into Grisha's flashback when he was a kid. The episode also did a great job at adding to the suspense before getting to the basement. The two minutes of Eren, Mikasa, Levi and Hange walking down the many streets of Shiganshina, with multiple scenes showcasing what each part of certain streets looked like before the fall of Wall Maria and the present day. Coupled with flashes of a younger Eren and Mikasa running through the streets and the excellent choice of song that matched the feeling of emptiness and quietness, this segment was very powerful for me. All of this has left me craving for the next episode already. Looking at the preview for next time, it'll show a lot more of Grisha's past and, hopefully, show what the thoughts of Eren, Mikasa, Levi and Hange after learning about the whole truth. =) |

| not a good episode in terms of production quality but they are working on a tight schedule anyway so there is a chance they are pouring their production time more on later episodes that are more important |

This is the first episode this season that adapted only 1 chapter, while the previous ones adapted 2, they had to slow down and even add fillers to pad out this episode. If it means disappointing some folks, I would take this option all the time, because then ext episode will be adapting 2 chapters and I think the next episode will easily make up for this slow paced one. |
| God dammit this went so fast, they barely scratched the surface of the truth. I have been abstaining from reading manga, and I was hoping I get to see a lot more in this episode. But it ended when it got to the good part. I hope the next week's episode reveals a lot. |
| The animation had some obvious flaws (didn't note the time stamps but whatever), the ending makes no sense but well thanks to everyone who commented below ep 7 discussion, I got spoiled 39 movies 176 animes and 4397 books (sarcasm obviously) |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| It's about to get down! YES! |

| That ending, holy shit that truth reveal is one of the most amazing I've ever seen. I'm getting Maze Runner vibes now. Just Sugoi I love how Levi just casually kicks the basement door in, that's how it's done! I've now gotten so excited about the story like never before in AOT. I so wanna see the next episode...!  |
 plz @ me |
| FRACKING FINALLY! 6 years waiting was worth it. But I still feel a little blue balled. Was expecting more info on titans, not just "humans live outside the walls as well and are technologically advanced" This episode was pretty amazing again as well, the walk through Shiganshina, their memories etc. Once again I have to say the ED is perfect for this season. Only 9 scouts are left. 10 if we include our Queen. Wow. Didnt expect that. |

| Good episode. However, the story went into the direction I wanted it least to go. But It was probably a given knowing all of the foreshadowings... Well, will see how it turns out to be |
haoody said: zeus-faber said: Can someone explain that photo in short since i didn’t read the manga. It kinda caught me off guard cuz it basically seems there’s a whole society with advance technology out there somewhere and it doesn’t make any sense.... but it makes sense, they are leaking small hints some time ago. you should read this to clarify things Welp... I obviously missed those hints lol, how does that even happen? Maybe because I didn't rewatch previous seasons and forgot most of it. Got any advice where should I start fill in the blanks since I don't want to watch all of it again.. |

| Great. The mysteries of the basement has been revealed. But I do wonder why his dad have to hide it from him when Eren was still a child. |
 |
| Finally, THE BASEMENT!, the flashbacks about Eren and Mikasa remembering the past was just awesome, we saw a lot of familiar faces! So in the basement they found 3 books, probably is Eren's father past, and seems he confirms there is more humanity, and he came froma beautiful city, they even had photografhy! I am really hyped for next episode, to know the truth! |
 |
| Loved the episode, Got chills when they entered the basement, I guess we'll know the entire truth in the upcoming episodes! :) |
 |
| When the very first episode is titled "To you, in 2000 years", you kinda expect that the events of AoT don't take place in Middle Ages-like times. As an anime-only fan I'm glad this series finally got to that part. Wit Studio delivers. An adaptation that every good series deserves and it makes you not regret reading manga ahead (shame on you OPM S2). |

Nim0174 said: @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 Haha, thanks for a warning. I am curious to learn more about the society from which Grisha originates and to know more of that ghetto I mentioned before. It looked like an isolated part of the city dedicated for the poorest citizens, but who knows. A lot unexpected things had happened already in the last several episodes, why not to expect even more to come? :) |

| Beautiful episode... Full of memories and revelations. Finally some answers!! I can't wait to know everything |

| So it seems like we get some diaries from Grisha in that basement and a new story unfolds about his past. Some Grisha flashbacks are on the way, seems like the place he came from was has is further technology-advanced than what we've seen so far. |
| Though it's nice that Armin managed to recover the sheer weight of what had happened after losing consciousness must have been heavy. Still at least the tension in the air was lifted. The homecoming scene though sure was nicely done making great use of the OST and flashbacks. Though Wall Maria was retaken and the basement reached the cost to the scouts were way too high. Still the revelation of what they found in the basement sure proved to be interesting. Curious to see what else lies within the books that they found in the basement. From the after credits scene it looks like we might well get to see the Malian arc once this season ends. |

| So basically, I watched a 24 min episode just to know Griesha came from outside the walls, where a developed society exists/existed? LMAO |

LMAO I dont get whats so funny, also the note on the photograph said "Humanity outside the walls is NOT extinct." I mean 24 mins which could have been reduced to 5 (exaggerating)... what is funny is that they made this episode slow af, I was looking forward to see what would have come next, and they just show a photo and flashback? After 24 mins? aight man (I'm not mad with you bro, I'm just disappointed about how slow this ep was and no, don't say inTeLLecTuaL EpiSoDeS ArE sLoW, bc death note's eps weren't this slow) |

Man, please tell me you are joking right now because damn 3 episodes of just flashback?! I hope they at least tell something because let's admit it, the first 17 minutes of this episode were just skippable no cap It's not a matter of being slow, it's a matter of not letting anything happed for more than 3/4 of an episode :( |

| I'm not a patient person and i swear i'm soooo frustrated! I wanna know the secret in those books NOW! hahah I found that scene were Mikasa and Eren were walking through Shiganshina so eerie; the fragments of life and people who will never come back and everything they once knew just a ghost town... |
 |
| So I can finally say it. Marley Nazis Society Soldier Eren Lamperouge |
