Another good episode. The season is being consistent in quality for now. Reiner is a badass, Ymir holds up mysteries, the 'are you gay?' scene was funny
, it had action, and cruel scenes we 'love' to watch.

This B-Team has been far more entertaining than the main cast. It seems that if you are not a rookie, you are fucked. I see why Ymir was hesitant to transform, going by the preview...
She got dealt a shit hand on that titan form
Maaan that ending gave me chills. Was not expecting to get to that part today but they handled it perfectly.
The reason I suggested watching Isle's Notebook last week was because
the Titan that speaks says something about the "people of Ymir". It explains why Levi and Hange reacted when they heard Ymir's name in last week's episode.
Yeah episode 29 was good. 4/4 so far with Season 2.
Next episode should be exciting with Ymir and Christa back story. Looking forward to it!
More than likely. They could sneak in some stuff alluding to the next arc.

Attack on Titan 29
While I don't think Isayama (the mangaka) is a good artist, he is really good at making visually striking moments like these, and the anime team has done a really good job translating that over.
Good episode all around. The show actually looks consistently good.

She's probably some royalty related to the Titan Church, is my best guess

This was a fantastic episode. I was not at all hyped about the first season or this show coming back, but I'm really enjoying it.
"Gotta marry her" cracked me up too.

I'll just tag stuff just in case.
So Ymir is really
Next episode is focused on her, I guess.
Now that that's confirmed (speculations based on OVA + current info)
Ymir + Reiner
Animation quality, again, had some dips, but the final
was great.
So Ymir is really
the tiny black haired titan we saw in the trailers. Thought they looked alike, and didn't want it to be true, but I guess my hunch was right. Judging from her size, and how she's not fighting very well in the preview, I suppose she's not very adept at it.
Now that that's confirmed (speculations based on OVA + current info)
I just skimmed through the Ilse's Diary again, and the titan who spoke "Ymir's people/Ymir-sama" is located between Wall Maria and Rose. I suppose that confirms that Ymir's from inside the walls?
And titan attack titan thing from the start of the episode => titan experiments on villagers and turning people into titans, but retains some of their own personality, so thus the playful "pull your ear and slap you" thing.

Also that "I can't read this language" twist between Ymir and Reiner. Didn't see that coming 
Reiner (who I suppose is from outside the wall, like Annie) doesn't read it. So it's probably some secret church language...? It also proves they're not from the same faction. Also Reiner's past. :O Bertoit also getting some spotlight.

And now he's gone between Wall Maria and Rose..

Very impressed by the whole season so far, they've really come back strong.
Already 1/3 of the way through though, man

The moment I heard that girl was named Ymir I knew what was going to happen because I saw that one OVA (seeing the trailer for this season also confirmed it).
At some point during this episode I thought Reiner
At some point during this episode I thought Reiner
was a red herring but now I'm pretty sure that not only he's a titan but also his friend which makes the whole situation with Ymir more interesting because it makes me think there's more than one faction or agenda going on with the human/titans and there could be a lot more. Maybe this walled country is not the only humans left in this world too.

i feel like ymir got a really shitty titan form i can only imagine the first time she became a titan and saw her self as one of short big head one lol
I love her form! From the previews it looks like she's an absolute beast when it comes to fighting.
That final quote was poignant, but in her state she would've been unconscious.Nanaba did not deserve this
When Nanaba was fighting her injuries were healing immediately (which means she is a titan?), so I guess she didn't die? I remember Reiner getting squeezed really hard one time in season 1 and even we saw the titan fist crushing him with blood and everything and yet he survived it.
Definitely Berthold
In both cases, that was titan blood evaporating, not their own blood.

As far as I know, a titan-shifter can only heal once they turn into a titan, not while staying as a human.
Eren got his teeth back after being kicked by Levi. Not that it matters, Nanaba was not healing, it was Titan's blood evaporating.

Can someone summarize these factions theories? I feel a little lost with the story.
There's normal people, titans, the church weirdos, secret titans who seem to have different goals, etc
I feel like Season 1 was a blur to me and I didn't really follow the character names too closely and now I feel like Im paying for it, because I didn't really know who Ymir was. Was she the doctor lady or whatever in season 1 who wanted to examine the titan they caught, but then one night, it was destroyed?

You didn't get to know Ymir very much because this is the point in the story where you get to know the supporting cast.
The end of S1 was an awkward breakpoint because of this.And no, that's Hanji (sp?) who got a massive amount more screentime in S1 than Ymir did.

Knew Nanaba was doomed but started to like the character to root for her to survive. Seems next episode might be a bit slow if they preview spoilers
focus on the flashback too much

When did that happen? It's been soooooooo long.
During the trial I think.
Levi beats the shit out of Eren in front of everyone to prove that he can keep him under his control and won't hold back if he steps out of line.

Still, I feel like Im missing a lot of info
Forgot who Nanaba was, but Im guessing she's the woman who was killing titans with the drunk dude?
Ya, Nanaba's crew is basically new, they were babysitting the rookies while Eren's group took down Annie.
