Ladies and gentlemen today is a huge day
in anime history! The new attack on titan
season two is out. Episode one drops
today. If you're barely finding out
definitely go check out out on
Funimation or Crunchyroll. Anyway let's
get started with this Attack on Titan
Season 2 Episode 1 review. Before getting
into the good stuff I do have to mention
about that rumor that there's it's only
going to be 12 episodes. Honestly if
that's true I'm going to be so
disappointed after waiting four years.
Especially since manga said to end early
next year. Next year they could already
be ready to do the final season. But
anyway let me first start talking about
the opening. So overall I really like the
visuals in this new opening. It seems
that they were trying really hard to
recapture what was in that season 1
opening especially with the music choice.
I don't know so far this new music
choice just seems like an imitation of
the first one. Hopefully it'll grow on me.
I was also worried about just how much
they were going to spoil in this new
opening. After it was over it seems like
there wasn't anything extremely obvious
that was shown for anyone that doesn't know
any key keep plot points coming up. This
opening is super spoiler safe. The ending on
the other hand let me not say anything.
Just enjoy the visuals and symbolism
there. So about the wall worshippers. The
big secret is out this episode. You
thought the Titans were enemies but
funny enough, other colossal like Titans
are what made the walls to actually help
humanity. I'm sure that this has already
been fully explained in the manga but
for anyone else you could really just
think about what this really means for
like a day. The important part here is
that this religious group already knew
most likely the higher ranks only. But
now after this not only do the Survey
Corps people know but possibly also
lower ranking officers. I could just bet
you this is going to get out fast!
Combine is with the fact that this took
place right after the Annie versus Eren
fight. And talking about that Titan fight.
In this episode we finally see the
aftermath for that Titan Annie
versus Eren just totaled this inner
city. It was almost as bad as Batman V
Superman. There were just a ton of
building destroyed and easily hundreds
of people got left dead.
We get to see in this episode that the
military group has no idea of what
happened. At least the lower ranked
officers don't seem to know anything. Not
yet anyway. And I just talked about how
those needs of the Titan and the walls
is going to get out. I bet that these are
ranked officers in the military people
are going to help spread that. As for the
best and worst in this episode. First off
the best that easily goes to the new
Beast Titan and holy shit we got a
speaking Titan. That was one thing but
the second thing was also the beast
Titan just throwing that horse and
not only throwing it but crushing it
first. This titan was just an asshole. He
was compressing it first but anyway this
is definitely an intelligent Titan.
This beast Titan should be similar to
Eren and Annie and just thinking that
this one is able to speak this freaking
Beast Titan could have years or decades
of experience compared to them. Oh and
about poor Miche. Honestly ouch. For a
moment I thought that Miche was going
to get off free. Poor Miche the first
casualties for season two. Its only made
worse by just how painful that looked.
It's also interesting what they did
slip in about him. They mentioned
that this tracker guy is supposed to be
second only to Levi. I don't know about
that. As for the worst thing about this
episode this very first episode of the
new season just seems slow to me. Part of
this could just be knowing some of the
reveals in this episode. The trailer for
season 2 already gave away the beast
titan throwing the horse. I think
it'd be a lot more shocking and see if I
hadn't seen that first. There was also
that super awful-looking Titan. Would
have been better to be surprised by it
first thing seeing it the episode. At the
beginning of this episode we did get
the reveal about the wall worshiper
knowing about the Titans in the walls.
This scene was something taken from the
second attack on titan movie so in other
words it's just repeated material. I
think they even made it a little longer
to. I'm actually just thinking about how
lucky I was since I started watching the
first attack on titan season almost at
the end of it. Unfortunately this time I
gotta do it waiting week by week. That's
going to be super hard. Anyway overall
i'm still super excited about this
attack on titan season 2. I'm just glad
that it's back. Hopefully that rumor
about it being 12 episode is not
true. So how did you feel about the
return of attack on Titan with season
two? Did anyone else also feel that this
felt kind of slow? Don't forget to leave
your best and worse for this first
episode. Definitely be sure to give the
video like if you enjoyed! Especially if
you're an attack on Titan fan! I will be

on Titan season so definitely subscribe

you guys later
