This episode really showed how hopeless the human race is against the titans, but it also showed the drive and passion that they need to take back what is theirs and establish themselves in the world once more.

The OP's steal the thunder so hard that I totally forgot about the ED's

You know, it's so easy to laugh at and make fun of Eren as he claims that he's going to "kill all the titans". Haha, yeah right. No freaking way.
But now, knowing everything, well, no one's laughing now.

I'm going to be as bold as to not put a spoiler tag for the following. Because come on, if you're on this site, and you at least seen the first season of attack on titan, that's almost a sin at this point. So what I was going to say was: I didn't know they showed Eren's father injecting him with the titan serum already. Albeit in a dream sequence where the events are still a bit vague, but it's shown nonetheless. So he was already injected at this point here by the second episode. Didn't remember that at all. I also don't quite remember Mikasa knocking the sh*t out of Eren. That was awesome. She then proceeds to make Eren deepthroat her bread. That's definitely going to be a memorable scene for me from now on.

Also, WTF? Sacrificing TWENTY PERCENT of the population within the walls, and they gloss over it in just a matter of seconds? I certainly don't recall THAT. Sheesh....

Firstly, the music is so good. Second, I just now noticed the peculiarity of the thick lines in the art, and Eren's vision of the key and the father really confused me. When did he meet Eren? I quite like opening the story by hiding the cause and showing only the effect. We don't know where these Titans come from. However, I do not like the vague way of talking about the father's story. And finally, where did Mikasa get her makeup tools? I miss little Mikasa.

Rewatching the series for the second time:

Eren is rightfully distraught over the death
of his mother and tormented over the fact that
he couldn't do anything to save her; he was so close
but lacked the strength, like sand slipping through his fingers.
This TORMENT soon turns into PURE RAGE! This RAGE is what
fuels his desire to kill the titans

Mikasa punching Eren is totally bad ass. She was bad ass from the beginning.

Loving this so far! For some reason though this episode felt kinda longer, but I also feel like it went by so fast lol thankfully I can bingewatch this. This must've been painful to watch back when it first came out and you had to wait a week for the next episode

SIEMPLEMENTE HERMOSO
Sigo sin poder decir nada malo del inicio de la obra, sinceramente esto lleva por un buen camino, el Titan Acorazado, siendo nuestro enemigo principal junto a su compañero el Titan Colosal, mientras que se nos presentan a los personajes, el diseño es bueno y sigo emocionado por poder ver como se desarrolla, aunque ya tengo la respuesta.

Review en ESP/ENG

Good episode, interesting that there are different kinds of titans and F for the Rose Wall, what would the father have done to Eren and why would he have that key? We'll see it at some point. Training is coming to fight the titans PS: Good opening and ending

Buen episodio, interesante que hay diferentes clases de titanes y F por el Muro Rose, que le habra hecho el padre a Eren y a que llevara esa llave ? lo veremos en algun momento. Se viene el entrenamiento para luchar contra los titanes PD: Buen opening y Ending

Not a bad episode, although it didn't really stimulate my brain that much. Sure, it's building context for what's to come, but are you really going to go out of your way to watch just this episode ever? Probably not. Not nearly as powerful as episode 1, but we've got so much time to build from here.

Humanity took a massive hit...
- They broke through the second wall with some tough running titan?
- We got an interesting diagram of how the location works, three circles with 4 circles coming out of each, to attract titans. So really, they only broke through the first wall
- Only the people who got on the boat survived?
- 20% of the population, including Armin's guardian were sent to fight the titans and died...
- The trio decides to join the survey core, despite this fact

A great character study of what would happen if these mosters arrived in a walled city and as someone who is watch this show for the second time you can tell the level of foreshadowing is unreal and that is amazing.

**Attack on Titan Season 1 Episode 2 Review: "On That Day/The Fall of Shiganshina Part 2"**

The second episode of *Attack on Titan*, “On That Day/The Fall of Shiganshina Part 2,” continues the intense and harrowing story of humanity’s struggle against the titans. This installment builds on the devastation unleashed in the previous episode, diving deeper into the chaos and aftermath of the titans’ attack.

The episode starts by delving into a grim piece of history: the titans first appeared 100 years ago, driving humanity to seek refuge behind massive walls. This historical context adds depth to the ongoing crisis, highlighting just how dire humanity's situation has become. The episode then shifts to the immediate crisis, showing the titans' brutal assault on Shiganshina. The destruction is overwhelming, with the titans hunting and killing people mercilessly.

As the town falls into chaos, we see Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Armin's grandfather trying to escape via boat. The introduction of the Armored Titan, which smashes through the inner gate, is a powerful moment. Its sheer force and impact underscore the formidable threat these titans pose. The lightning that precedes the appearance of these special titans is intriguing and raises questions about how and why they appear so suddenly. It adds a layer of mystery to their appearance, suggesting there might be more to their emergence than meets the eye.

One notable detail is the steam released by the titans. While it’s an unsettling sight, it raises questions about their nature. Could the titans be some sort of advanced mechanical constructs rather than purely organic beings? This notion of them being akin to robots adds an intriguing layer to their already menacing presence.

The episode also reveals a shocking scene where Eren's father injects him with a syringe before disappearing. This moment is enigmatic and foreboding, leaving viewers curious about the contents of the syringe and its significance. When Eren awakens, he finds himself in possession of the cellar key his father held, hinting at a deeper mystery tied to his family.

As Eren, Mikasa, and Armin settle into their new reality, the scarcity of food becomes a pressing concern, exacerbated by the influx of refugees into Wall Rose. Armin’s gesture of bringing bread to Eren and Mikasa highlights the dire situation they’re all in. Eren’s anger and refusal to eat reflect his deep emotional turmoil, but Mikasa’s intervention brings him back to reality. Her actions emphasize the strong bonds between the characters, even amid the chaos.

In an effort to reclaim Wall Maria, the government recruits refugees to fight, including Armin’s grandfather. The subsequent loss of 250,000 lives, including Armin’s grandfather, is a tragic reminder of the high cost of their struggle. The battle aids in alleviating the food shortage but at a tremendous human cost. The loss of Armin’s grandfather further underscores the personal stakes for the trio, who are now orphans facing an uncertain future.

As the episode concludes, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin decide to enlist in the training corps, marking the beginning of their journey toward becoming soldiers. The introduction of Instructor Keith Shadis and Eren’s vow to kill all the titans set the stage for their future challenges. The intense emotion, combined with the compelling world-building and character development, makes this episode another standout entry.

The animation and music continue to be stellar, complementing the gripping narrative and emotional weight of the episode. The reveal of the new titans and the significant losses faced by the characters make this episode both powerful and poignant. I’m thoroughly enjoying the show so far and would rate this episode a solid 5/5. The blend of intense action, deep world-building, and character-driven drama keeps me eagerly anticipating what comes next.
