| I didn't realize the narrator was armin....O_O |
| yay the lizard survived~ but in all seriousness, it probably would've been really nice if eren hadn't stopped jean from getting the lizard. i guess eren's interactions with marco at the end of the episode could've explained some of why eren was so passionate about his death in the anime series? i vaguely remember people being upset by eren's heightened sense of camaraderie towards marco when he inspired everyone to join the scouting league. this was definitely a really enjoyable episode though. it was nice watching more armin plots. |

| Really liked this episode. I miss the 3D gear animation :P Definitely has the S2 feeling |
| Teamwork is the best !! I am glad to see Mikasa , annie and krista again !!! so great !!! Pretty great OVA !!! |

| Best OVA out of the 3 |
| Yay!! Finally more Krista ^^ :/ feel bad for Marco now.. Great couple of OVA's, especially the first one. Now to wait for season 2! 8/10 |

| Lol @ the way Connie sleeps |
| Great OVA! I think I enjoyed them more than the series itself. |

| The first OVA was great, the second was pretty funny but this third one was horrible. It felt like one of the old Naruto part 1 filler episodes. |
| Great OVA! So good seeing everybody again. ^_^ I forgot how awesome this show was ... can't wait for season 2. |
 |
| Oh man seeing AoT animated feels so good when it's been so long since u've last watched it. Mediocre story for a character development episode I suppose. |
| Wait wait... how the hell did Mikasa's group get their Gear back? EDIT: NVM, I thought the Flare was used to tell them where they are, but it was used to tell them where the Gear was =/ |

| It's nice to see more of interactions between the 104th. I don't mind watching a whole 12 episode focused on them in the training academy :P. I just really love them :D |

| I actually think I might have liked this better than the first one. It was a lot more subdued than the main series, but it was nice getting a glimpse of some of the side characters and seeing a bit of the training. I also always like some reminders dropped here and there reminding us that the Titans aren't the only threat and that the humans aren't all united.

| Meh it was ok, the first two were way better than this one. But seeing Christa is always good. |
 |
| I don't really like the thick black outlines but the eyes are beautiful. Lmao at Armin writing everything down Jean and Eren = kids Wow, lots of action. Easily the best of the three. I don't get why the OVA are listed as sequels on MAL tho .. Anyways first OVA was good, 2nd so-so and the 3rd very good - 7/10. |
| I still think the first episode was the best, at least this one was better than the 2nd though. |
| So, the OVA. I'd like separate entries for the three, because: 1) Ilse's Diary gets a 9; 2) Sasha's cooking gets a 5; 3) Didn't see anything that I don't know yet gets also gets a 5. Better animation than the second OVA, worse than the first, good usage of the anime footage, Jean and Eren can work together just fine, but detracting points for the presentation of Marco and Armin, and the fuck where was Ymir. The average is 6.3 and I have to lower the score, if I am to do it right, but don't want - won't allow Ilse to take it because of the quality of the other two. So, any ideas who I ask to put the OVA as different entries? |
| 7/10 The first one was awesome,the second one was terrible and the third was meh. |

| It was ok. It showcased Krista a lot for some reason. Cannot wait for the second season of A o T to be announced. They should just get on with it already. |

| Watching this made me realize how much I missed the show. I wouldn't even mind 12 episode of nothing but side stories. Glad the second season is in production. 8/10 |

There wasn't nearly enough manga material to adapt, and it's a monthly series. Most of the manga chapters are action sequences, which means that it's a chapter or two per episode. They needed time to let the manga get ahead again before they could start on a second series. I enjoyed the OVAs and they did a good job keeping me hungry for the second season. Can't wait to see |

| Lack of titans |
 |
| I was so happy to see this part of the story before the serious events that comes after. IT makes you realize how much these trainees changed. Also, that last scene with Marco killed me inside u_u Bit disappointed to not have Ymir there. She wouldn't have left Krista alone >_> |
| No titan action!!! What a let down I was expecting they're going to be mugged then attacked by titans in the forest but oh well still a good episode. I got the feels when I saw the other members of the squad that were killed when the titans siege the wall including Marco. These OVAs just made me more exited for the second season and the movies. Hurry up already cause my friends are spoilers and won't stop telling me about the events in the manga. T-T Spoilers!!! |
| This was my favourite OVA of AoT so far so Potato girl can actually cook. |
 |
| Ah this one was enjoyable. However... I hate complaining, but... the writing's a bit sloppy. I shouldn't be surprised, this is not written by Isayama, no? Eren seemed like he's picking up a fight with Jean only for the sake of it. I mean, Christa being a damsel in distress... well come on, she's also a soldier! I was expecting her to go a bit more badass back then, rather than only shouting "dame!". There's also the question of when did Mikasa + Annie got their 3dmg so quickly to save the day. The 'save Christa plan' required them to cut down a tree. Where did they get the equipment to do so, again? I'm not sure their rucksacks contain something blade-like to do that job. And this 'daughter' of the thief... Why would he suddenly remember his daughter in a monologue while being cornered by a bunch of soldiers? Seems like that line only serves the purpose of making Christa sympathetic. Where's Ymir? But anyway... I love getting a glimpse of what kind of training they got in the academy... Despite all those complaints I really wouldn't mind another episode like this... Or 10. Sigh. Marcoo... |
| Damsel in distress-story, expected something better. But the other two OVAs made up for it. |
| Eren is too much aggro, God save us. That was some nice teamwork, good call by Armin. Ladies to save the day. Marco's word were true. |
 |
| I liked getting a closer glimpse into the training that occurred in the early stages of the series as well as what sorts of dangers posed the trainees. It was also a reminder that in addition to the titans, humans were still very much a threat as well. The plan worked well and I feel like it fit into what I enjoy about SnK nicely. 8/10 for this OVA set, it makes me all the more anxious as the wait for season 2 continues to draw out. |
 |
| Cool episode, good to see a little focus on Krista |
| What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli |
| 4/5 for this episode, 8/10 for the whole set of OVAs. |
 |
| Now time for Levi's ova!!! Well this was a decent ova, just more training and trying it get their gear back. They could have added a Titan it two to make it more exciting. Too bad half of them end up dying.... |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| What a look on former history. But in the end, there wasn't much substance there. You could pretty much sum up plot into one sentence, it was just that average. (and I also remembered how I hate Yuki Kaji's screaming voice) |
| Overall thought it was enjoyable. |

I just really love them :D +1 I understand from other comments that there isn't enough manga material to support it, but it would be amazing to have a whole series based solely on their cadet training. I was disappointed that we didn't get more of their training, character bonding, and teamwork building, etc, during this timeframe in season 1, and so I was stoked when it became apparent what this OVA was about! Great to see more Christa, Mikasa and Sasha, naturally. But I also loved seeing Marco again. He was always such a likable guy. :) Another thing I enjoyed was seeing some action that didn't involve titans! The human vs. human stuff was a nice change. 4/5 Overall OVA set 8/10. |
| This last one wasn't that interesting, all in all the ova's were okay. |
 |
| Really like this episode where Jean and Eren work together. Erwin succeed by Jean Levy succeed by Mikasa/Eren Hange succeed by Armin |

| This was a great OVA =D Krista is so pretty too ^,^ |
| Action packed episode. Oh I just love SnK's animations :D 4/5 |
