personally never found anything to spectacular in this episode. tho sasha's backstory was quite interesting. i felt some parts it could have done without.

all in all tho it was okey.

i thought the male titan in the house eating the woman was sasha's father so i was surprised when he was riding a horse and saw sasha.

but i'm sure that the titan in the house of conny was his mother

That OST with Sasha fighting the Titan, pure awesome. I didn't like her character much in Season 1 but now all i can say is You won my heart today.

Seemingly bland sections of manga were well adapted here (Thanks to the soundtrack of course). Turned out to be much better than what I expected it to be. 3.5/5 episode IMO

Very thrilling episode.
Although I knew she wasn't going to die I was still quite worried about our favorite potato girl.

Great episode once again. Sasha is a lovely character and proves it every time she has screentime. Her determination was OTP and the moment she stabbed the arrow with her own hands on this titan's eye was quite badass. Pure Conny though seeing that a titan destroyed his house. But if this titan cannot get up and had its ribs outside of its body it seems that was a Titan Shifter who failed to tranform properly. Maybe one member of his family accidently transformed into a titan. Well, I cannot wait for the next episode.

I disagree.

I'm glad she's still alive, not because I particularly care for her but killing a character after they get their backstory in the same episode is very predictable.

Good episode even though I wanted to see more of how Levi and the others were gonna beat the info out of the priest.Very convincing drama tension with her and the titan though. I thought. Sasha was really gonna die.she needed this episode and I suppose the next episode will focus on conny next

Series isn't about survival. You got things backwards, Sasha was a joke character until this point. Afterwards, her character becomes serious.

Nice to see a bit of development for Sasha in this episode, I like it when the focus isn't always just on the main characters. I felt bad for Connie at the end though.

It looks like they made some scene rearrangements in this episode, but it's fine as long as that stuff is still included later. I feel like the cliffhanger ending could have had a much heavier impact if they had extended it just a bit further......

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....


The one with the shrieked up legs is most likely a titan shifter. I haven't read the manga so this is spoiling anything, it's just speculation, but I believe it might be Conny's siblings or parents (more likely his siblings due to it's body structure)

Killing someone after adding characterization and a backstory is cliche and stupid.
Nobody is going to feel conflicted for the death of someone who literally got meaning in the same chapter.

Everytime that happens feels forced and useless, better kill 100 side characters with 0 development than 1 with a good backstory. People watching the show'll feel the same about they dying and you, as an author, will have more time to spend in the story instead developing someone just to die.

Yeah, read about it. Koizuka was an episode director of some of the best episodes in season one (all of which were some of the closest ones to capture the tone of the manga), and I've never been a fan of Araki, so it would be no wonder it I end up liking this season more.

I am guessing the giant one is throwing the other titans over the wall


Yeah I feel this might be the case too, because there was no mention of the wall actually being breached yet. Though it may also be a sect of titan shifters inside the wall who planned this ahead of time.

That is one scary-looking eye girl Sasha rescued. Feels like a little psychopath.

Or you know, in shock from watching her mother being eaten alive right in front of her.
Doesn't she know how to cry, scream, or at least blink? That's a Tragedy in front of her. Even Eren knows how to act. Is it because she's too small she hasn't learned all that yet? Come on.

Do you know what "shock" is? When witnessing such a traumatising thing, the brain pretty much shuts down your conscience, and dissociates to avoid facing the situation. Her response was completely natural.

If anything, what's weird is the fact that Eren would act differently, just like when he killed those 2 bandits at 8 yo. Now that's a psychopathic trait.

From the opening sequence, it looks like Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover will be further demoted to puny characters. I really liked them tbh. I was looking forward to see them more in this season because how they were like poster boys in the promotional picture below.



Even Ymir and Krista make appearances in the OP. It seems like either of the two or both would be involved to some degrees this season.




Anyways, I have very little input in the story itself since I am not reading the manga. As long as Sasha keeps on living, I am following this anime. I am glad that it seems that she might just survive this season alongside Connie and Jean as in the capture from the OP below.

Nice episode, not really much else to say. I just can't wait for it to get dark, that's when it gets exciting.
Don't know why people didn't like this episode. It's not Sasha's fault that season 2 is 1 cour. This definitely isn't something they should've skipped over.

Oh man have i missed watching this every week, so glad it's back even it's only 12 episodes.
You know when somthing is good, when the episode finishes and you think "wait what is this episode already done :o"

I liked the focus on Sasha this episode, i like the side characters more then the main ones.

And as usual epic music to top it off.

they should since this whole sasha filler section have 0 relevance for the entire series and only wasting time.

Yup, I know about "shock" but maybe not that very deep. Considering about "conscience" and how she can easily talk "truly" about what the villagers done, it's still hard for me to believe it.

How bitter sweet. While one reunites with family, one is still unknown.
To think that Sasha reunited with her father, what an amazing thing.
She's pretty crazy about that food though.
Moreover, having the courage to fight a titan was pretty impressive.

this episode show why i love the way Hajime Isayama wrote their characters, people keep saying that SnK's weakness is their characters, while i say he flesh the characters in such a subtle way that's rarely used in anime/manga, like Sasha.

With little flashback moment that doesn't seems really important, he shows how Sasha's personality actually is, she's one insecure poor girl from the village who, for the first time moved out from her village. While she loves her village very much she's still embarrassed of her background, and actually wanting to be accepted by people from the cities, she tried to talk like normal people (people from the city), but since she doesn't know how people from the city actually talks, it comes off she talks in a really formal and polite way. Her insecurity was really shown in the scene where Ymir talks down on her and she couldn't even fight back.

I found this little Sasha moment to be cute but yet sad at the same time.

And the action in this episode is really intense!!!! I love how Sasha dont wanna rely on luck and took the arrow to the titan's eye by her own hand! That's awesome! And the way the Titan slowly eating the mother, the fact that the little girl is too shocked and scared she couldn't even move is relatable and sad, and the foreshadowing back and forth shot between connie's face and the titan's face in his village is kinda eerie.

Don't care if anyone keep saying AoT is overrated, this and previous episode is a 10/10 for me!!!
