Wow so much focus on Sasha this episode.

Really glad they fleshed out her character more this season as she didn't get too much development from the previous season. Nice to see that the show is giving Sasha a chance to showcase some of her skills too.

It seems like they have rearrange some scenes, and we will see the rest in next episode. This episode wasn't action packed, but it gives Sasha some needed characterization and development.

Next episode is going to be a lot more fast pace though and we see other characters getting more screen time as well, and will also bring up a lot of interesting questions. I can't wait to see anime only reactions to it.

Wasn't Sasha the one called Potato girl? I liked her in the first season, I hope she doesn't die...

That was close man, she was almost crushed by that mini-titan. But now I'm wondering about the one in Cony's village, what the hell happened?

Ahhh I loved this episode, Sasha showing off that she can hold her ground too even without odm gear. I really wanted them to put in a different scene from the manga at the end to give more impact but I am very happy with how this season is working out.

Hmm, mystery just deepens.

Wondering where the ape-looking giant is heading to, and how did the one with shrinked up limbs get to the village....

I was so afraid that they'll kill Sasha off, but I'm so glad she made it (for now, that flashback was so death-flaggy). Also that titan that couldn't even move, how did it even get there? Maybe we'll finally know how titans are born/created/appeared because it seems like these titans appeared inside the wall, but the wall might not have been breached judging by everyone's reactions (a lot of emphasis on the fact that XL titan can only breach the doors)? Also the titans this season are already super weird: one with flimsy limbs, super serious one that looks mean and eats slowly, Beast titan, the dancing one that did a loop. :P

I don't think anyone wanted to see an ensemble cast in Attack on Titan 2; Sasha getting a ton of development this episode is nice... until you see the bigger picture. How much screen time is Eren, Mikasa, and Armin going to get this season?
I'm just confused by the whole concept of scoring by "Writing and characters." If you're not entertained, why should you care?

Nice RPG-like thought Armin. Wall that protect human from Titan that even made from Titan, just like Armor/Weapon Material that made from Monster to fight the Monster itself.
That is one scary-looking eye girl Sasha rescued. Feels like a little psychopath.

Great episode.

Armin theorizes that the wall might be made out of hardened titan skin, back when S1 ended I thought the same thing. Wonder if it's true. :o
Also I simply cannot fathom what kind of reason the church guy would have to keep his mouth shut like that when Humanity is facing possible extinction.

Sasha would make a good titan with the way she was going after that snack. XD
Anyway, pretty cool that we got some backstory and screen time for Sasha. The way she fought off that titan and pierced it's eye with the arrow was awesome.
Lovely moment when Sasha's dad praised her. :)

That titan that's lying on the house looks like it's been starving for years. :o
Poor Connie though. :(

Shingeki no Can Can made it impossible for me to hear the words Sasha Braus without laughing xD

Either way, this was a nice Sasha themed episode and they did her backstory and characterization justice and I was very proud of her....That scene with the kid was brutal though, man that was hard to watch

And now we are at the first hint behind one of the biggest mysteries of the series with this Connie scene....Can't wait to see all the anime only reactions lol

P.S. Pastor Nick is still a bitch and WHY IS HISTORIA SO GORGEOUS THIS SEASON

Sasha!! Her growth was shown in this episode, very proud of her. Really epic.

That titan eating the woman slowly was disturbing as fuck and so were the kid's eyes.

I think, Conny is about to lose his mind. I wonder what is up with the titan and how it got there.

Sasha really did THAT she is so damn cool she deserves those badass scenes and glad she got a backstory finally
Ymir and Christa fighting was a highlight for me as a shipper I really enjoyed that scene and especially Ymir's short hair
Connie made me super sad with the "I'm back home" the look on his face was sad

I give this episode a 5/5 cause damn I really was on edge all the time and they got the face expressions so well and I enjoyed the pace of the episode I can't wait till we get proper Trinity (Mikasa, Armin & Eren) scenes next episode

That was great! That bit was always one of my favourite parts about the Clash of the Titans arc as Sasha is one of my favourite characters. I'm glad they gave her the time she needed to develop as a character. The rest of the episode was pretty alright, I was pretty much fully expecting that to be the end of the episode. Overall the Sasha bit is pretty uplifting (maybe the reason I love it so much?), which I guess is a nice break between Mike's death and Connie's village.

In other news that ED still disturbs me every time I see it.

His editor, not his fans, this chapter was also made before season 1 even had aired, so Sasha wasn't even popular at that time.

That editor must feel good that he saved a character, that is now really popular in this series.

@Subunyan what we did not get in this episode will be in the next chapter. Nothing to be alarmed about.

That was great. We got some much needed characterization for Sasha; I'm so happy this episode focused on her. What I'm most excited for this season is that coming from the manga, I know that season 1's side characters will be more primary in season 2. Makes me really happy. Anyways, even though the episode wasn't extremely action oriented, it was stressful was hell. That scene with the girl and her mother was so brutal and intense. The flashback with Ymir and Krista was really great too, and served as a good turning point for Sasha to get her determination and hopes back up. The reuniting scene was good too. Seriously good episode!! Also, that ending still creeps me the f out. The weird music along with those creepy images (especially that one with Pastor Nick watching those kids eat a dead titan??) makes it really weird and uncomfortable. I guess that's what WIT was going for, though lol.

This was an okay episode. Really focus on Sasha. Didn't really see any wow factors like the last episode. Maybe the walls being made out of titan skin, but I could have guessed that. I mean if normal bricks worked 'm pretty sure they would use those lol.

I kind of like Sasha now. If she would have died I don't think I would have gave a damn.

3/5.
