Shingeki no Kyojin or Attack of the Titans

[Historia]

Yay, Ymir is back. In flashback format, but still. Sorta.

Anyway, best yuri pairing confirmed.

And that's all I care about.

- - - Updated - - -

Still no Annie though.

[Rafflesiac]

UMI DA!

[Historia]

Chapter 91 is out.

It was a longer timeskip than the previous chapter.

You know, at this point I'd be more interested in just reading a spin-off of Historia as queen than wherever this plot is heading.

- - - Updated - - -

But, hey, it ain't all bad: we got introduced to a new cast that mirrors the one we know and to a new Titan-Shifter.

Or, you know, a spin-off of Annie releasing herself from her crystal prison only discover half a decade has passed.

[Riven]

So, I've read this chapter four times now and still have no idea what's going on.

I'm not sure if this is a step up or down from the past few chapters where I understood exactly what was going on and hated it.

We've switched sides from Eren and Co. to Reiner's faction.

It's been four years since they started war with some other faction. A year since they stopped their "Kill King Fritz and everyone else on that island, take back the Coordinate Titan power" plan. So, it's been three years since chapter 90. Reiner is nearing the end of his lifespan as the Armored Titan and so is Zeke as the Beast Titan. They're trying to find replacements for them. We get introduced to a new Titan-Shifter and his name is Gal (?), along with a new cast (Gabi and Co.).

Nothing about Ymir yet. Bertolt is dead.

This season looks like it's going to have amazing animation, which makes me really excited for the Ymir x Historia flashback episode aka the only reason I'm watching this

I don't like the OP and ED at all sadly

Same. Though I do like the ED.

I think they adapted the source material well, in addition to that amazing animation to go with it.

That final scene though.

[Paitouch]

dem dinosaurs tho

and dat whale

[Phil12]

I hope there is a whale titan

[Historia]

The ending gets better the more I see it:

[kotelo]

That Kemono Friends scene in the OP always cracks me up.

[Lace]

It's

lit

[Polly]

I almost forgot about the anime

Yeah, I think I should watch it now

[Lace]

The flashback hasn't happened yet. It's coming next episode.

[Polly]

There's still episodes to catch up with.

[Historia]

Yeah, the ED sells this season for me. Especially now I know it's sung in English (or rather, Engrish):

Spoiler:

Sitting in our cage
We will see innocent scarlet
Way to 'morrow, go today
Go today, morning


Give it up, the scar will sting
Go tomorrow Every single day
It is next to you
Shining, what a wonderful world
Fooled us. Now we have to
Decide another plan


Shouldering a cause and a dream
I fight on
Come on in, everyone
Feel again with me


So, again I catch your sleeve
A sweet story
Way to 'morrow, go today
Go today, morning


Give it up, the scar will sting
Go tomorrow Every single day
It is next to you

Creepy, yo.

Other than that, I've started reading the spin off LNs and they're OK. I wonder if the characters from the Harsh Mistress of the City or the other one (Before the Fall) will pop up in the main story at some point, but, eh. I like it when authors bring them all together / make references / allude to those separate stories in their universe (see Fate/stay night), but I haven't noticed any thus far.

[Revil]

Towards the ending of that episode, I was sad it was going to end soon. I wanted to see the Dancing Titan's moves...

[Historia]

Had no idea this was a thing but hand-drawn fanmade music videos are a thing on nico, apparently. I found one for Annie:



From looking at the original music video, the uploader copied it and changed it to fit Annie.

English lyrics (?):

Spoiler:

Words I swallow sadly, they always trail behind me.
Why can't I ever say the right things?
Words I say when I am in a fury,
There's surely no way I could take them back now.

These promises I make are all laced with lies.
When given form, all my thoughts are mess.
Is there really not a single thing that I can do
To reach you where you stand?

I love you, my Vivi, but tomorrow gonna be
The day I'm going to have to say my "Bye-bye".
In this town that I resent, I'm going to leave you in it,
Turned to ashes long the way, there's no way that I could stay.

In this letter that I write for you my dearest,
All these lovely words I want to say.
But I find, as wonderful as you are my dearest,
It seems there are things that I still cannot convey as I am now.

Why is it that no matter how hard I try,
it seems I can only write lead-like lies?
Why do my words turn into birds with nowhere to go,
My concious overflows.

I love you, my Vivi, but tomorrow will surely be
The day of which our present selves are going to fade away.
All these thoughts inside my head, some things are better left unsaid.
I will throw them all away, all these things I'll never say.

High up in the melting amber skies,
A balloon falls and a caribou flies by.
A dancing cuckoo and a turkey with no legs
Gallantly sings aloud the news of yesterday,
"Children have gone missing from the town as late,"
Though many others cried, no tears escape my eyes.
I'll live on now, with my feet flat on the ground, singing
"Somewhere a great fish is watching over me."

My heart is beyond broken, this is no place for me to heal.
Though to walk with you, this is still the road I'd choose.

I love you, my Vivi, but tomorrow's gonna be
The day I'm going to have to say my "Bye-bye".
This town that I resent, I'm going to leave you in it,
Turned to ashes along the away, there's no way that I could stay.

I say the words, I brush your skin,
But there's still no meaning in it.
I engrace the memory of your face
And the ashes in your place.
I love you, my Vivi.
I love you, my Vivi.
But to say it a single phrase,
Our love is "bye bye" for all the days.

Spoiler:

And Ymir seems to have bitten the dust. Offscreen no less.

[Lace]

My hopes for this episode were too high. I forgot how bad the dialogue actually is lol

It looked pretty though! And Christa's thigh shot was lit.
