| Damn I really want this show to take first place on Mal but guess that won't be possible the basement was average, waited 3 years for this episode. already miss Erwin '-' |
| For me this is the best episode so far yet in all of AoT. This episode just got me and I got sucked in. Man the 2nd half of the episode was just so amazing. |
 plz @ me |
| A more subdued reveal than I was expecting, but just more to add to the overall mystery of things and to keep me engaged with series. Now to see where the next step takes us. |
| Now this is where SNK starts getting really good. The post-basement story is by far the best. |
 |
| That tonal shift for the Marley side of the story was done amazingly well, I'm very impressed. This will be such an amazing ride from this point on, can't wait for the next 3 episodes. |
 |
| I love what the studio is doing with the show this season, the art and music is great. But the theatrics for this episode were a tad bit too much. Halfway in it was soooo drawn out I was tempted to skip until dialogue started. The story can't move too slowly especially when there's no ongoing battles it ruins the pace big time. Having Armin tell us what we just saw last episode in slow speech and the back and forth flashbacks of Mikasa and Eren felt like overkill, we get it... |

| Wasn't much of a reveal imo... the fact that Eren's dad was found outside of the wall and then was some medical genius who saved the town from a plague was enough of a hint that theres a lore advanced society outside of the walls, which Grisha came from. This was drilled in more at the beginning of this 2nd part of this season, where the three mugs of coffee (black liquid) were found on top of the wall. Coffee comes from somewhere warm, tropical regions, and apparently thos inside the wall have no idea what it could be. Obviously something that comes from outside.. . So mmmm it's good that the story is coming, but I'm not exactly surprised |

| It's annoying how lame I get spoiled through some YouTube recommendations showing thumbnails and titles with big Attack on Titan spoilers. Damn this Manga Store section at the bottom of this page too, for showing me spoiler covers of Attack on Titan volumes. Might read the Manga after finishing this Anime season. This episode was paced much slower than I expected. Some Manga readers were hyping this episode to be shocking, but it seems like the last episodes of this Season are what contain the shocking contents these Manga readers were talking about. I think I know the direction this series will be going with these 3 books. Based on how the photo was described to be made, I believe there will be a lot more information about how advanced technology is made or how it works. With this type of information, technologies, methodologies, and more will grow and evolve within the walls. Alongside information that benefits the livelihood of the people within the walls, I think there will, of course, be important information on the history of the other civilization. Historical information about the purpose of Titans, their social hierarchy, their culture, etc. There could be further information about different types of titans and their specialties. These 3 books seem like they will offer brighter hope for the civilization within the walls. I'm not going to lie, I wish Erwin would have been revived rather than Armin. It's not just that I like Erwin's character more than Armin, but I think Erwin wouldn't just stop at knowing some major secrets of the world found in Eren's basement. I think he would continue to support humanity within the walls to find out more knowledge of the world from outside the walls. I hope that Armin's character improves or something at least to make his character more interesting to me. On the topic of character, I am highly interested to know the motives of people like Reiner, Annie, Zeke, and the others that are a part of their faction. It seems like Bertholdt, Annie, and Reiner may have been brainwashed since they were young to go against humanity within the walls. Perhaps they have a legitimate reason to wipe out the people within the walls. Could they be forced by Zeke to help him carry out his mission? Reiner did try and fight off Zeke and lost somehow. Perhaps their fight was about their will to not attack all the people within the walls and to just go back to their homeland. It could have been about how Reiner or Bertholdt either can never go back home without Zeke or if they tried defying Zeke any further, he would somehow kill both of them. Zeke probably knows of other titan shifters who would help him deal with Reiner or Bertholdt. As Bertholdt said, he doesn't even believe the people he wants to kill are bad, he sees them in a positive light. With having that in mind, where do Bertholdt and Reiner get their resolution to wipe out an entire civilization from? It wasn't until recently where Reiner and Bertholdt cut out their feelings for their friends. Bertholdt himself said that neither side is in the wrong, yet there's nothing he could do to prevent his actions. Right after saying that, Bertholdt says, "This world is just that cruel." At the end of this recent episode, the preview for the next episode talks about Eren is shown "a cruel world" through the perspective of his father and his story. Both Bertholdt and Eren's father seem to share a similar perspective on how the world is cruel beyond the civilization within the walls. So, perhaps the story of his father will help justify why Bertholdt would not explain his reasons to wipe out nearly everyone within the walls. At this point, I think Annie will be uncrystallized soon. She's been in that state for about two seasons. Annie's only living childhood friend is Reiner now and he seems to be far, far gone away in some place. It could be some sort of knowledge from within one of the three books that helps free her or something. When she does get out, I think she will have a change of heart and help out humanity inside the walls. I just don't see anything good from her continuing to defy the people within the walls again after getting freed from being in a state of crystallization. It seems like she has a chance to be different than Reiner or Bertholdt. |
| Welp, that was something I wasn't expecting... I really liked it tho! I'm curious to know more about the "more advanced" humans. |

| Yey they finally revealed the Jews |
| The reveal in this episode was just everything people theorized the whole time, whether manga-readers or anime-watchers (yo, there were clues about it all the way), so it was probably nothing surprising for some anime-onlies, but don't worry. The real basement comes next. I just hope they don't cut dialogue in the remaining 3 episodes. People living outside is just the smallest part of the tip of the iceberg. |
| Was anyone else disappointed that the basement wasn't some Lovecraftian tentacle dungeon? Just me? |

| Am I the only disappointed about basement? theyre pursuing It since forever And then they reach It And It Just feels like a ordinary thing |

People living outside is just the smallest part of the tip of the iceberg. same here, i mean i can see it work without cutting dialog, considering its 5 chapters left i don't think they would have extended this episode at such a slow pace just to cut dialog afterwards if it goes the way i expect we will get 1 1/2 chapters for either the next or the 9th episode, the other one 2 chapters, and the 10th will be 1 1/2 because they took ymirs backstory from chapter 89 and showed it in season 2 already |

| Oh, so with the tech to do some spiderman things, don't know about photography ....and in that post credit scene, is that another walled up city like Titan that has World War one tech????? |
Modernoir said: This. I can't at all see how this was a predictable twist. When you think about the possibilities, this was one of the most out-there ones for the story to go with. The basement could've simply had a cure for the titans or could've simply just explained their origins, but the reveal that not only are there humans outside the wall, but there's also entire civilizations advanced enough to have things like blimps, the way the series' scope widens so, so much because of this reveal makes it one of the most ambitious twists I've seen in manga. What? We already knew Annie's gang came from the outside to destroy the walled kingdom, how can it possibly be a surprise that there's a world full of humans outside the walls? The only real surprise, if at all, is the full extent of its technical advances, since we only had some very minor glimpses into this before. |

I'm so fucking pissed that the ocean wasn't in the basement  |

Wrong statement too, only the first half of OG FMA anime was better, and that is excluding some average filler episodes and overall deviations. Not sure what brought the comparison in the first place but okay. |

mizuharaaya said: Because people expect there are full of titans out there, so they didnt think that humanity would be doing just fine outside the walls. Of course anime has much more foreshadowing than manga at this point of time, so maybe thats why manga readers didnt expect it back then It doesn't even need any foreshadowing, though, when we have been quite literally told that they were sent here with the mission to destroy the walls and the people within. Clearly there had to be someone out there to give them this mission. Level of technology aside, this alone should have made it obvious that there were people living outside the walls. |

| Holy shit, I can't wait to see the next episode! "i come from a land where humans live in luxury." Meaning, there are other countries existing out there contrary to what has been told to them for a very long time. |
