<\/p>\nAfter a rough couple of weeks on my end, dealing with mental health issues and a flooded bathroom, I\u2019m ready to get back into the swing of things on here. Do pardon my absence, these things take time for me to get back into. So let\u2019s kick back and enjoy another shot of WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING, aka Attack on Titan<\/i>, for all the newcomers out there.<\/p>\n
So, you know that big Titan that fell in Conny\u2019s hometown? Looks like there were nobody to be found, perhaps by way of mass evacuation. Well, that\u2019s certainly a bit of good news, right? So why not make it all the freakier to have that giant Titan slowly say \u201cwelcome home\u201d to Conny? Or was it just a hallucination in his head? Freaky, ain\u2019t it? War will do that to you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Several hours later, we cut to Krista and Ymir and their team, all on horseback patrol, having a little talk about their place within the military. I\u2019ve always enjoyed their dynamic with each other, Krista\u2019s the softer side of the coin to Ymir\u2019s rougher edge, but there\u2019s a present sense of codependency between the two. In a way, they both are in a bit of need of one another, to keep the other in check, be it on the battlefield or away in the barracks. But enough of that, as we go right back into some Titan killing and horseback patrol among more of the squads, with Reiner and Conny\u2019s team finding Krista and Ymir\u2019s team amidst the darkened nighttime surroundings. That was a bit too verbose, my apologies – I\u2019m sounding like a J. Michael Tatum dub script here. Meanwhile, Levi and Hange and Eren and the rest are still traversing down the forest paths, still doing whatever it is they\u2019re doing and talking about Annie and how she works as a Titan and how they\u2019ll plug the hole in Wall Rose and yada yada, you know. Whole lotta exposition about how they\u2019ll do what they\u2019re setting out to do. And, as per usual, the responsibility lies with Eren to plug the wall, one more time.<\/p>\n

Our new setting, in the second half of this episode, is the Ehrmich District, and I have to say, the way the nighttime scenery is used in the establishing shots, it gives off a great aura of foreboding danger, combined with all of the refugees seeking shelter and the priest able to do nothing but look at all the people he abandoned and left for dead. Hey, for once, Levi and I agree on something, it\u2019s a miracle. A moment later, the priest informs Hange and the rest about a certain person of interest that he and his clergy were instructed to monitor, someone who joined the Scout Regiment recently. And JUST BEFORE we hear the name, we get the old \u201cI\u2019m here, guys!\u201d fake-out with Sasha coming in and entering the scene, message in hand for Hange. And she was rewarded with, what else, a hot potato. This person sure sounds important, though, whoever she – yes, it\u2019s a she – may be. I can only wonder who it might\u2014it\u2019s Krista. Big surprise, I know. No time to ponder, though, more Titans are ready to attack, including the Bigfoot from the season opener. And they\u2019re all headed for that big wall on the horizon. A few of the senior officers decide to lead the charge against the Titans, including one such that I have dubbed the \u201cBundy Titan\u201d because of the striking similarity this beast has with one Al Bundy. Now that I think about it, do Titans have day jobs where they sell women\u2019s shoes? Eh, moving back on track, that big Bigfoot managed to climb the wall in record time, so now it\u2019s up to our entire squadron to lay these beasts to waste.<\/p>\n

Okay, GREAT setup episode to a bigger fight brewing in the next one. It needed more Sasha, though; how are you gonna treat my homegirl like an afterthought, after that awesome episode where she went into BAMF mode? Ah well, this is still a great run of episodes, in spite of my kvetching. You\u2019ll have to pardon the tardiness of this, as well as the lack of dub thoughts present here. It\u2019ll be in the next review, so I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday for the next one, folks.<\/p>\n
