I like my shows to be a little bit smarter than I am. As soon as the female Titan made it clear that she was different by not killing a member of the Scouts, I knew who it was though it took the rest of the cast a few episodes to reach the same conclusion, which is a bit disappointing. There are a lot of mysteries that pop up (what's in the basement of Eren's childhood home? Why can he turn into a Titan? Where did the Titans come from?) and while they draw viewers into the story, there's a bit of a letdown that none of them are even close to being solved by the series' end. The show starts to feel like it's repeating itself part way through the collection with long battles against the Titans that never seem to advance the plot. These episodes had some great moments but there are some flaws too. Once into enemy territory, the expedition finds something unexpected: another new Titan, this one female, who is not only smart and resourceful, but one who knows some of the members of the Scout Regiment! Could this be another human that turns into a Titan, and if so, who could it be? He's assigned to the Scouts and they decide to mount another expedition into Titan held territory. After a high-ranking member of the Scouts, Levi, smacks Eren down to prove that he can defeat him whenever he wants, it's decided that the boy should be spared, for now. The Military Police want to dissect him and see what makes him different, but the elite Scout Regiment is willing to offer him a spot in their ranks so they can use him to fight the enemy. While it's true that Titan-Eren fights on the side of the humans, can they trust him not to turn on them?Īfter a brief imprisonment, Eren is brought to trial.
The government know that he can turn into a titan himself, the problem is that he's not in control when he's a titan and doesn't remember what he's done afterwards. This set: As the collection opens, Eren is in big trouble. Eren is driven by one goal: to kill every Titan there is. After seeing his home ruined and loved ones killed, the three friends enroll in the cadets and train for years in the difficult art of killing Titans. Twenty percent of humanity dies, and those that survive face starvation since the fields inside Wall Rose can't support all of the refugees. Eren sees his mother devoured by a Titan and though he, Makasa, and Armin all manage to make it through Wall Rose, many people are not so lucky. 200 feet tall and without any skin, the "Colossus Titan" breaks a hole in the outer wall and a smaller, but more powerful creature, the Armored Titan, rips a hole through an inner wall allowing the man-eating giants to gorge themselves on people. That all changes one day when a new Titan appears. While the Titans are a deadly threat outside of the walls, inside life is good and even the soldiers have grown complacent. It's a decent life and while Eren and his friend Armin dream of someday traveling outside of the walls, they know that will probably never happen. There are three concentric circular walls that hold all of the Earth's human population: Wall Shina, the inner most, Wall Rose in the middle, and the outer one, Wall Maria.Įren Yeager and close friend/adopted sister Mikasa live with Eren's parents near Wall Maria. Humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction, but was able to save themselves by erecting huge 200 feet high walls and hiding behind them.
The only way to kill one is to slice a section out of their neck, between the base of the skull and the nape, anything else is useless. Even decapitating them with cannon only slows them down until they can regrow their head. Titans regenerate at an incredible speed and are nearly unstoppable. Ranging from 10 to 50 feet tall they look just like large people (except for the fact that they have no genitalia) but they're mindless and they only eat one thing: humans. No one knows where they came from, but they are incredibly deadly. While there's still a lot of mystery and violence in the show, it seems to be repeating itself just a bit.īackground: It's been over 100 years since the Titans appeared and nearly wiped out mankind. So how is this second half of the series? It didn't knock me for a loop the way the first set did.

Based on a manga series that is still ongoing, some fans will be disappointed that the anime doesn't wrap things up quite as well as one would hope, but given the reception these 25 episodes received it's doubtless that more will be made eventually.
The award-winning anime Attack on Titan wraps up its run with this second collection of episodes.
