SH4kun said: Good buildup chapter. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this flashback didn't really happen at any point in the manga, right? I just had a look at Chapter 45 (the one this episode ended at) and nothing in it was related to it, but I can't remember if it ever happens in future chapters, been a year since I've read this part and the next arc is probably my least favorite. I do remember this specific scene it's somewhere beyond this arc I believe but forgot which chapter exactly. OT: I liked this episode especially how they focused on the relationship Armin, Mikasa and Eren have it was refreshing and heartwarming to see that and especially seeing Hannes being like a father-figure it was a cute moment. Also noticed that they made Hange's breasts bigger than in the manga does this mean they're giving hange a gender in the anime or it wasn't intentional? hmmm. Overall enjoyed it I liked they gave us a calm slow episode after the intense past episodes its like the calm before the storm. |

| Shit, they're really only adapting one chapter per episode now. They're even adding filler to pad the episode which sucks. |

Actually the flashback kinda was in the manga, but was just a single panel. It was extended since the producers already know in which manga's point they will stop the anime the panel: http://2.p.mpcdn.net/8966/365195/33.jpg |

| Boring episode but I expected that this episode will be based on only one chapter but this was necessary if studio wants end this season good. My prediction for the next episodes: |

| i really liked the "most filler episode" as some people are calling. The flashback wasn't totally a filler, the producers extended a single panel in a entire flashback ( thankfully they did it because i wanted see Mikasa beating some bullies for a long time) People could apreciate a little more these kinda of episodes, they are great to step the pass of the history, the episode gave a slight air of calm after the action. ( which we really needed, actually, probably most part of people who thinks this episode was boring, are probably people who are just interested in the action of this show) and since the anime is supervised by Isayama, and probably he aproved this flashback, i dont think we can really call of filler anymore. Now focusing on the episode, i really liked how they focused on the EMA's relationship in this episode, it was heartwarming seeing they together on the "old golden days" and then the contrast with the actual reality ( this was pretty sad in some terms ) with Mikasa and Armin feeling they are always left behind by Eren. it was a good episode, and the next will also be a "calm episode" |

| Is it confirmed that Chapter 51 will be adapted or is that fan speculation? _Spectacled_ said: That's what they should do, it would be dumb to break their conversation into 2 episodes.sullynathan said: Shit, they're really only adapting one chapter per episode now.

| This episode was Ok. I really liked the fight scene. |

| Calm before the big storm type of episode, which honestly was for the best. After alot of titan action it feelt really good to just sit back and enjoy the conversation and memories of Mikasa Eren Armin and Hannes. Anime only viewers will probably be displeased but oh well, i enjoyed it alot |
 |
| This episode regurgitated information besides the scenes with Reiner and bertold at the beginning and end of this episode ,the scouts being able to ride their horses up the wall to transport them to the other side to enter the forest and hannes being an actual character in this show again we learned nothing new. |
 |
| *Intense Cracker eating* also not a lot happened, but we got some nice build up, and the Soundtrack always manages to hype me up. |
 |
| All I want to say is that, even though I think Mikasa is the least interesting character in the show, my god she looked simply gorgeous in this episode. Liked the extended flashback a lot too. For the rest, I enjoyed this episode a lot. It's a nice breather before some more shit is gonna go down. |
| A breather was needed after all the hype and this episode was just that. The flashback was alright and it was nice to see Jean and Pixies after a long while. Anyways, can't wait to see next episode, especially to see more about Reiner and Berthold's motivations. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| This episode seemed like a whole lotta nothing. After the wrap-up from last week's cliffhanger, the characters mainly just stood around and talked about events that occurred. I could appreciate it if some characterization went on during the dialogue, but that simply wasn't the case. They threw in a filler flashback to illustrate the point that Eren is strong, and he won't stop fighting, blah, blah, blah. The thing is, we already know this about Eren from previous episodes, so spending half of the episode illustrating that point through flashbacks and dialogue is absolutely useless. I think this episode was supposed to be a break for the animators. A dialogue-heavy episode meant to give the animators time to tackle the big showdowns in future episodes. I can understand the need for that, but I wish they would have utilized the downtime in a more constructive way. The hilarious way in which Mikasa and Armin angrily scarfed their food down was the one good thing about the episode. That's a moment for the books. This episode is a solid 3/5 for me. |
| I think it goes without saying, but you're weaboo trash. |
| Don't know what drugs ppl take to love action so much that episodes like these are boring for them, but ye this episode was pretty good too. Hannes has a death flag. Dat intense eating. |
 |
| The scene of Armin and Mikasa eating with anger was quite funny lol |
| Karasuno Fight!!! |
| Pretty chill episode, wonder if Araki had anything to do with the intense eating scene. Also it looks like we might get |
| cancer episode . . |
| I literally skipped the flashback scene. Wish season two was more than just Clash of the Titans arc I do remember this arc being short, so the pacing is rather slow |

| Nice episode. DAMN Reiner & Bertholdt got away with Eren & Ymir. Mikasa is such a beast. So cool seeing her fight when she was younger. Sad seeing her & Armin down. Don't worry you'll get him back. Both of them eating furiously was funny. Nice little talk from Hannes. Great to see Erwin, the Survey Corps & Military Police there for support. Everyone heading to the forest. |

AkiKitazawa said: 4Hmm, well then... I checked the manga quickly and there wasn't anything there so it might be that in the anime... Funny decision by Isayama, but not his first lol. We'll see. Better prepare for all the reactions then seeing how it went with the manga, hah. sim0n2170 said: Pretty chill episode, wonder if Araki had anything to do with the intense eating scene. Also it looks like we might get @Modernoir if we see that, I doubt we will see all of the flashback, if anything they will just show the ending part of that, because it wouldn't make sense to animate the same thing again as a flashback when that chapter gets animated in season 4 or whenever. I think the ending of that flashback will have anime only confuse as hell. lol |
Grimmgeta said: My god, you anime only people are even worse than some of the manga readers were when the politics arc was ongoing. You should have known we'd get an episode like this after what transpired last week. Plus it wasn't even that bad. It had some good character moments even, especially for Hannes. I don't mind the down-episode. I understand why it's needed, but it wasn't used in a way that befitted the characters or the story. What did we learn that was new about the characters? Nothing. Did they change at all? No. Did the story progress at all? No. Pointless episode. Don't make excuses for bad episodes just because you like the show as a whole. |
| I think it goes without saying, but you're weaboo trash. |
| Reaaally bad episode but I guess since it's 12 episodes they want to stop at a certain point in the story and you need filler episodes for that. Anyway, this season is vastly inferior to the first unfortunately, poor writing, worse animation... and we waited 4 years for this crap. At least the manga is still good. |

Dont think so, the title of next episode is "opening" the same as chapter 46 and they might add marco flashback from chapter 77 Well, episode 29 shared name with chapter 39, "Soldier", yet it covered about half of chapter 40, "Ymir". And episode 28 shares name with chapter 37, "Southwestward", whereas most of what it covers is from chapter 38, "Castle Utgard". So going by name isn't a precise measure. And the preview does hint at some content from chapter 47. |
| Ok, that eating scene was pretty cringe worthy Overall a meh episode, neither help nor hurt the story we already know about the childhood of those 3 |

| Eren without arms looks creepy :D |
 |
| I don't mind flashbacks or fillers.... but this flashback barely says anything new to the characters. We've seen that episode where Levi let go of Petra's corpse, saying how Levi always has to struggle between being loyal to his own feelings and doing what has to be done through a different setting. This episode, instead, we just saw more Mikasa fighting with other children for Eren, more Hannes being drunk, which were exactly what we had seen before. The only thing we learned is that Hannes doesn't give a shit when being insulted because he's self-conscious, yet he still fought with the shopkeeper. I guess it's hard to write anything meaningful with just 5 minutes of screen time after all. |

|
| The dialogue scenes are also weird as hell. They just feels very long and stagnant without the proper use of music and editing. |
| Awkward first half, and the second one was all build up and was bland. But I like the fire in their eyes. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Looks like things will be getting very tense from this point on. I love that. This episode was as bland as it gets though. That flashback was really boring and definitely unnecessary. Pretty much nothing happened this week. |
| That fist to fist fight flashback was quite fun, Mikasa beating the kids easily xD that's an Ackerman for you. Even drunk Hannes pick a fight lmao xD. I don't mind added filler like this, as long as it doesn't have a bad effect to the story, like altering the real scene, and its fun, not boring, then its fine with me. |
 |
| For a fight without titans, that was pretty awesome... and funny. Poor Mikasa though, lost her man. That was some intense eating too. This will be an excellent final arc for this season. |
