Episode 4

I did like Mikasa's should be insightful explanation of Eren being wrong and instead about herself.

Thank goodness Sasha is still relevant in this spinoff parody. Same for Hange since she got a bit of experimenting with Titans. (parodied from the original season btw during the second half).

Poor Sasha though. Those test scores needs a bit work with D:

Damn you, Attack on Titan spin offs. First the live action movies and now this... You really want me to ship Sasha/Armin, don't you? Even though there's no basis for it in the main series, grr...

Didn't this break some of the lore of this spinoff from Sawney and Bean trying to eat Hanji?

Some one's got you tied up in a backroom for science, you're gonna attack them with whatever body part you can move enough.

Episode 6

Well I kind of guessed pretty early that the love letter was spoiler[from a Titan]. Although I did not expect spoiler[the moe Titan].

Episode 8:

Ah, a courage test this week against the Eren and his friends. With all the "scary" gimmicks, the Mona Lisa one actually caught my attention the most:

Episode 9:

Lol Summer Festival. More like the time for summer love.

The ending trolled me hard though. I mean, they had such a good mood going! At least Annie looked really cute in her yutaka.

Episode 9

To be honest I was not even sure who spoiler[Bertholdt] was.

(Warning: I feel like you should not read any of these spoilers unless you had a specifically odd realisations about the actual main series. All I know is what has been shown in anime, so I am not bringing in any information that is not entirely relevant.)

Wait.... maybe I should not have watched this episode. Well it had been in the back of my mind that spoiler[Reiner looked a lot like the armoured Titan], but suddenly figuring out that spoiler[Bertholdt defining trait seems to be that he is taller than others] seems to have done something this series really should not have done. More than that, they spoiler[gave Annie a mask of the female titan] while they gave spoiler[Berthodlt something else in particular].

I am reading too much into this, right? This series would not do something so compromising, right? Towards the end of the episode I could not help thinking that spoiler[the head shape worked way too well]. If so, I am pretty annoyed at the creators of this series.

A fair warning.

If you don't want any spoilers for Season 2 because you haven't read or are up-to-date with the manga, then basically don't watch the show anymore.

Because if you haven't worked it out already, then they really did a number on you with this episode. I'd be pretty darn annoyed if it had happened to me.

Episode 10:

Election...

I think the episode had a reference/parody of Eren when he was put in the courtroom before from the original season. Oh poor Jean, Reiner, etc. They just wanted to be popular for their own ridiculous reasons lol

Is it also just me or does Annie looked a bit scar this episode?

There were a few quite strong ones. Among my favourite was with with Ilse, who was part of I think the first OVA episode of Attack on Titan. By memory her story was told by Levi finding and reasing her journal entries in her book that was found on her corpse which was being kept on a tree, which was the joke with how she kept getting intercepted in the same place.

I think Armin's speech in favour of Eren was a parody of when people find out he can turn into a titan and Armin has to convince the people he is not a threat, which although a good speech ends up failing. We even got to see the frightened captain, Kitts Woerman, as a teacher, fittingly freaking out.

Whoa, talking about teacher I just figured out something rather interesting about their drill instructor, Keight Shadis. I don't know if it is meant to be hidden, if you have a good eye and look at it side by side you should be able to see it pretty simply. Keith actually appears in the first episode of Attack on Titan, he spoiler[is the commander of the survey corps that gets defeated]. picture.

LOL, Armin really did become a trap now at the festival. Funny.

Also, Ymir causing chaos with her "attacks" on Reiner's food.
What I find more amusing is how the episode parodied at least two episodes from the original series. (one being end of episode 4 I believe and another one about Hange's experimentation involving the captured Titans).

I think the end was also a parody of the first episode where Eren is yelling about his mother being left behind to the mercy of the Titans, while instead it was the food stand. Thus why the lines of being trapped in a cage was echoed in the preview this time.

Ha, the parodied a bunch of episodes from the original series for the finale namely episodes 3-4, one of the later episodes when Eren blocked the gate with a boulder, etc.



Lol, the "cute Titan" made a cameo too. Poor Jean.
Overall, funny show. I mean, it's not something entirely memorable but it had its moments.
