So this is the Attck on Titan prequel, right? It has to be at this point, right? The two are so similar that i'm going to like this one at lot less if it ends up not being connected to AoT. It just feels like a rip off at this point. The only thing that could that for me is if this takes place a few hundred years before the AoT manga starts.

This show is good, but far away from the quality of AoT.

Ikoma looks like a Frankenstein now.

Seems Mumei is a part of a shady organization.

He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Those weapon upgrades look really good, especially the swords got a nice touch. Mumeis way to handle differences is definitely not bad, just to bad for those guy lol.

I don't like that guy Mumei had a conversation with. He seems like a very manipulative person. And because of his words Mumei thinks she isn't worth more as fighting against the Kabane. No wonder her attitude changed from there.

She did a good job killing all these Kabane. That gave Ikoma time to activate the cauldron for the steamcrane. I can't believe there are so many Kabane. Thousands of them. And because of an missunderstanding between her and Ikoma she thinks she has to beat every single one of them.

I'm glad Ikoma was able to rescue Mumei but the situation is so bad. Not only that the crane stopped and the train can't move forward anymore, no, additionally a giant monster appeared before them. I don't know if it's a cluster of Kabane but it's looking cruel.

This episode was scary, just look at the number of kabane dude. I mean getting to the new station was good and the fact that Mumei herself is scared of getting abandoned is quite surprising. She is now not liked by a lot of people. Her opinion keeps changing every episode and that’s new for me. That shadow kabane is another mutant. I knew there would be more of these mutated zombies for sure. We got a glimpse of a zombie who knew hand to hand combat. Cool. The two kabeneris are stuck somewhere and have to defeat the shadow kabane most probably now.

Bruh, Mumei is getting on my nerves.

Time to take down that creature. The more this show goes on, the more parallels between AOT. Guessing the creature is the colossal or armored titan of the show.

Wow, how is it even possible for someone to act this stupid and annoying?

I think asking Mumei may give the answer, because that's just how she acted this whole episode. "Plannings and peaceful retreating my ass, I'll do things in my own way, after all I'm the strongest...", then proceeds to almost passing out in the end and putting the lives of everyone out there in danger.

Also finally even the titan showed up xD

And it all has just gone south, in a blink of an eye.

I love how well animated this show is, no matter whether we are talking about stellar looking action sequences or less dynamic, calmer moments. Well done, Wit Studio!

Mumei has quite the contentious attitude, doesn't she.

Is that shadowy giant some amalgamated mass of Kabane?

Memei, or Mary Sue given the way everybody was kissing her feet in the beginning, is getting pretty insufferable. I think she's worse than Ikoma now, at least he chilled out every since the train people accepted him. It was pretty hilarious how everybody turned on her for being insensitive towards the kid's dead dog though. She could have been worse though, I thought she was going to ask to drink the dog's blood or something. But holy cows, she knew what the train people's agreed upon plan was, waited until it was already in motion, and then went in to do her own thing to mess it all up without telling anybody. Like what if nobody saw her going in, thus didn't even know she was changing the plan? I haven't seen such a bad loose cannon in a while. In the end it looks like she really messed it all up, but I'm wagering the plot will find some way to make Mary Sue's action to have actually caused a better outcome than the train people's original plans, to save Mary Sue's face.

Little bit of a let down compared to the previous episodes. This whole "Mumei fearing she'll be disgarded" came in extremely rushed. Especially that ep4 ended with them celebrating being welcomed in the Iron Fortress...

Mumei She is being brainwashed by her young master.
Weaks are bound to get killed? my foot.
She made the wrong decision to attack head on without any support and planning.
