Hey guys! So we got Attack on Titan third
episode of season two. This one titled
Southwestward. So right from the
beginning we got another case of a
talking Titan. God dammit these
Titans are getting intelligent! I think
that's the second one. Of course I'm not
including the Beast Titan in that. Te
last one was from that OVA. But was it
really talking? Maybe Conny is just so
much in shock that he starting to hear
voices. But honestly at this point is
really not that hard to put two and two
together. In that same scene though about
Reiner just what the hell was that? I
know he was trying to comfort Cony a
little bit but wasn't that just a little
too suspicious or maybe a little cold
hearted? In this episode we did get that
short scene between Christa and Ymir
or I think that's how you say her
name. Ymir or Ymir. Anyway I'll just
go with the Japanese way. I was thinking
that perhaps in this episode they were
going to focus on Conny's events but that
was cut short. Ymir on the other
hand is way too obvious of a liar or was
she? I think I'm just getting way too
suspicious of people at this point! I
know there were a lot of people
complaining about last episode being
mostly focusing on developing Sasha but
personally I don't mind that too much. I
do like that we're getting to know these
characters more and more. It's always
better when they take the time to flesh
them out. Anyway so about that cart
scene. Here we finally got a very useful
discovery by Hange. We saw her looking
into that leftover chunk crystal that
was left over from the Titan Annie.
Right here she's made two key
discoveries. The first just being that
this Titan diamond chunk did not
disappear. If only they could somehow
harness that power from Eren. All of
these guys could be millionaires hmm
but seriously more important is key item
number two. This stuff is supposed to be
the material that's covering the walls!
What! To me this stuff looked a lot more
like diamond or just some type of
crystal substance. I guess that an
experience Titan is able to change the
compound material to make it more cement
like or whatever that exact substance is
that's covering the walls. I do think
that Hange is getting overly
optimistic and getting way ahead of
herself.
I mean sure they could use Eren to seal up
the wall but what does this mean for
Eren? Do they just want to be some
sacrificial Titan to become a chunk of
the wall? And then there was Eren's
reaction to all of this. Honestly all of
those passive reactions from Eren was
one of the things I'm not too much of a
fan. I think this whole cart scene is a
good example of why I'm more interested
in Mikasa and Armin in this Attack on
Titan series. In this episode it was
short but we did get Levi kicking some
ass! I gotta say is that priest guy
really that surprised? Just how
disconnected has he been from the events
so far? I mean to be fair the dude is
from the most inner wall but he is
keeping a lot hidden! Is he really just
this one percenter who is completely
oblivious from everything going on in
society? I would imagine that these
Titan disasters would be something he'd
be familiar with at least in theory. What
I'm getting at is how much of what this
guy is showing is actually genuine or is
it all just an act? Is this priest dude
simply playing dumb? At least we did get
something. Again to Hange's credit she
managed to pull something out of him.
Where we stand right now is that Christa
knows something important. Something
extremely important. It's so important
that these higher ups from the wall
church are keeping an eye on her hmm. And
finally about the ending. We got a whole
lot of Titans attacking the castle. I
know these guys mentioned about them not
being able to move in the dark but was
that really fully established? Maybe
I'm forgetting about something. I recall
that Hange was doing some experiments
but that was really only using two of
the smaller Titans and even after that,
the result they got were mixed. I really
wouldn't want to risk it up to a night
mission anyway either. Just dealing with
Titans already is a walking horror movie.
Imagine doing something like that in the
dark. You got limited vision. That's
really just asking to die. Anyway it
seems that these Titans are still
following and very much under the
command of the Beast Titan. Isn't Mr.
Bigfoot Titan oh so polite! This guy
is not going around smashing the walls.
Instead he's choosing to leave them be
and climbing over them.
hmm. As for the best for this third
episode. This one was tough. We did get
that very cute Christa in this episode
but I have to give it to the Potato Girl!
Sasha ended up getting her potato hehe. As
for the worst this episode was just way
too short! But really I wasn't going to
push it if I couldn't come up with
something but there is something I did
notice. The worst part for this at least
for me it's just trying to keep track of
when and where the events are occurring.
So far we keep seeing them jump back in
time forward in time and then from group
to group. At some point you really just
need to stop and draw the entire
timeline on a map. Although to be fair I
think a big reason for this is just the
issue of having to watch these weekly. If
you are lucky enough to be marathoning
this season later I don't think it's
going to be too hard to keep track of
what's going on. So how much did you love
this week's episode? Which parts did you
not like? I know a lot of people were mad
last week about Sasha taking up most of
the episode but how about for this week?
Was this one more balanced out? Anyway
as always I love hearing what you guys
thought so post anything from this
episode down below! I do ask you guys to
