Episode 6 had a lot of nail biting moment that had me hyped for the next scene and as my friend finished it and we began episode 7 I did not want to think of how this next episode could change that. I feel this season moving quickly to wrap up so many loose ends, but yet I realized there are still 9 episodes left. We have not even reached the half way mark!
I sat on the edge of seat, my whole body quivering, my legs bouncing up and down, my palms planted on my thighs in a pathetic attempt to stop my moving legs, and my back arched so that my face be right in front of the monitor. These characters we bonded with for the first few episodes really made an impact on me. I know who I am rooting for in this show, but I cannot help but to feel a twang of pain and sadness as I see what I saw happen in season 1, but to a different town, to different adolescents.
There is a moment where we see a small glimpse of the photos on the steel wall of the mounted machine gun enclosure and the dread kicks in. Episode 6 tore us away from bright eyed youths, and now the slightly older role models were now being taken out by the people we cheered for and laughed at for years.
The small mention of Ymir later down the line dropped my cheerful and hyped demeanor when I realized what had happened to Ymir. I never thought about it too much until then. Dwelling on that single sentence delivery did not last long though until we were thrust back into the action of Eren and his big brain plays to crack the chrysalis of the war hammer titan. The shear fear in the jaws faces as he begs to not hurt his mates and in the start of episode 7 when we see how our troops from within the walls show no more fear for titans even ones with consciousness is incredible.
With so much to say I leave it off with the minor wondering of what is in store for Zeke, Levi, Armin, and the two young kids. At this time I hope they both some how gain powers of the titans. Whether usurping them from our own team, or given to them by their predecessors. This truly is an incredible finally and I do this season overall a 9, but it could easily become a 10.
