That was great. It begins right off from where the first season left of and we got to see the new OP song too.

We got some nice action on the outdoors too against the Titans from this episode already.
Music remains top notch as expected and it was exciting to see Mike in this. Most of the main characters returns and we got see some of Mike's skills.

I think the most noticeable part from the episode is seeing the Beast Titan near the end.
What an intelligent monster!


RIP Mike.

It finally happens! One of the most popular anime of our time is back! 3.5 years after season 1 finished, Attack on Titan returns for season 2. I was resigned to wait long but now I get excited for this show again.

However, back to discussion's topic: episode 26. Linked Horizon's new opening rocks. As always. After the opening, the battlefield is shown after a fight. Hanji confrontates that religious person on the wall. Suddenly, bad news. The titans come again. Another scene, Eren dreams about his mom. As he wakes up, Mikasa waits with that red scarf. Outside the walls, a strange titan appears. He attacks a horse, he can speak and he commands the other titans!

Overall the episode looks great. The epic soundtrack is back. But I'm curious if this season lives up to the expectations.

Oh man it didn't disappoint, as expected. The OP was ok, not as good as the first OP of the first season

What the hell? The beast titan can talk?

Worth the long wait, animation generally on point.
Much prefer the older OP's but this one isn't bad either. Didn't really like the ED though.

Looking forward to next week ^_^

It was incredible in my opinion. From the opening to the visuals to the music to the tension and how they handled the last 5 minutes.
My minor complaints would be:
- As awesome as the opening is, it really feels like a mix of the first two openings. They played it safe music-wise and visuals/storyboard-wise, which resulted in something great but with no surprises.

Man I love the new OP, though I like Guren no Yumiya the most. That animation is awesome. I am caught up with the manga so I know everything thats gonna happen, unlike with the 1st season when I had no idea about anything, but this anime is no less enjoyable.

That was pretty great. I love how they just threw us back into where season 1 left off. OP was good, not as good as the first opening to season 1 though. Also toward the end of the opening, what were all those random animals doing there? I'm not caught up with the manga (on volume 12), so they might have some significance later. Looked a little silly though, lol (dinosaurs with the titans??). ED was cool but a little weird, sorta creepy too. I'm so pumped for next week's episode. Can't wait.

Awesome start like expected. Sound and visuals were great as usual, although I was hoping for some new OSTs. But they will surely come in the further course.
Poor Mike, him falling into despair was also executed very well.
His death was the cruelest till now :( Beast Titan is terrifying as hell.


5/5

Haven't seen Season 1 for a long time, but for me it sounded like the OSTs they used back then. I will rewatch it and try to recognize a difference.

It was definitely a shocking experience to be in the presence of that Beast Titan.. Hm, even if he didn't yell his battlecry, he'll still be doomed anyway because there are Titans waiting around him. Last scene definitely was gory and brutal.

Linked Horizon's new OP was just alright. But the visuals for the new ED were creepy as hell. xD

AOT is back and it hasn't missed a step!

First off love the new op. Everyone always looks so bad ass in it. Not to much happened in terms of action, but its a lot of shit that's going on.

That Titian in the wall is creepy as hell. Did they build the wall around the Titan or did that use parts to make it? Look like some shady shit is going on. On top of that Wall Rose is down as if shit couldn't get in worse. Plus there is all those dead bodies in the middle of the street that nobody knows why.

That titan at the had to be the most creepy shit of all. When it started talking I was stuck. Like it was talking like that shit was normal. Then that death scene.

AOT2 looks to be promising. Hate that's its only 12eps, but hopefully that means no fillers.

I thought it was okay, pretty good but not amazing. After season 1 ended, I loved it so much that I read the manga to a certain point so I was wondering how it was going to be adapted into this season. Since it's been awhile, I forget exactly what happened when but it seems like there was a bit of an adjustment which I actually like. I enjoyed the pacing of the episode.

The music was again, okay to me. The OP was definitely a mixture of season 1 opening, from the moment the beat drop (lol) I could feel it. The ending song threw me all of the way off. I liked it but just wasn't prepared for it. Also, I feel like they're showing way too much in both the OP and ED? Geez.

Art style was amazing, it felt softer than season 1. While that deep outline was still there especially on the titans, I feel that the main characters had a softer look to them. I personally enjoyed it, it was a beautifully animated episode.

I was ALMOST disappointed with the fate of the certain person at the end but they tried to match it with the manga, which they did for the most part and that was good to see.

Overall, I liked it but didn't love it. I'm still excited for episode 2 though and the rest of the season.

The beast titan is hella creepy I wouldn't want to go against him.
Mike's death by far is the saddest, savagest, scariest death I've seen.. seeing him scream was heartbreaking
The OP was okay I expected it to be more catchy but it fits AOT
For some reason I forgot why they had the recruits In that place far away though lol anyone wants to remind me why?

overall I give it a 5/5 cause I was on edge the entire time.

That was an awesome start. I still wonder how I put off reading the manga for all these years. XD

I wish there was more information on the titan in the wall. I've always wondered how humans erected those walls in the first place.

Wall Rose breached again? Did they break it again after Eren sealed it up with the boulder. It seems much more likely if these Titans existed inside Wall Rose in the first place instead of breaking through Rose again.

Also that Beast Titan was awesome, I remember another talking titan from one of the OVA's.
The final scene was absolutely brutal and gory. Felt bad for the guy, oh and the horse too. Poor horse didn't deserve to be thrown like that. :(

Art and animation were awesome and the OP and ED are okay I guess. Looking forward to the next episode.

That was a bang! A strong start for the long-awaited 2nd season. The OP was weaker than the ones from the 1st season but it's still epic. As expected from Linked Horizon! That intelligent ape-like beast looked interesting and actually has intelligence. Feel bad though from that guy he lost his legs from the most stupid looking titan among them and then he became food. Next week seems to be a Sasha focused episode. Cannot wait for next week. I don't read the manga since I despise the art so I want to expect this season will have many great moments and reveals.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. The Visuals and Animation are top notch and a massive improvement over the first season. The music fits all the scenes perfectly and the new opening was amazing (Still not as good as the first one). Voice acting (like from season one) is top notch.

Overall i really enjoyed the first episode and I cant wait to see what the next episode has to deliver
