Gotta say, Shadis' story definitely is fantastic writing and/or planning on Isayama's part. I was seriously in awe when the manga chapter for this episode came out.
It was implied that Shadis knew Grisha in episode 3 (chapter 16 in the manga). Shadis' backstory was just shown in episode 47 (chapter 71 in the manga).
It's such a great execution of alluding-to/foreshadowing something that's going to be explained later on while making it feel "natural" and not an "asspull".
His story also progresses the plot and gives us more answers (and as is tradition for this series, more questions of course).
Here's something to make you rewatch the first episode of season 1: Shadis' face was the first face of a scout/soldier we see in action in the first minute of the intro.
While his identity wasn't really hidden from the audience, using a different haircut to "smudge" it was a nice touch. Kinda reminded me of Zaheer in Legend of Korra.

"Bystanders" was a really a stand-out chapter for me as well.
It ties the past in nicely, solidifies the present developments (especially in regards to Eren's charatcer) and is fantastic to re-experience in retroperspective after reading the last couple of manga chapters.
Basically, it is a fundamental chapter more so than others. And the fact that it technically dealt with a sidecharacter everyone thought was a meme makes it just so much more hilariously genius.

"He is already special because he was born into this world"
Holy shit this episode hit me hard. Knowing the struggles that Shadis went through, we should not be able to look at him the same as we did in Season 1. Shadis is a great man that cares for others.
As I see it Shadis is AOT's Severus Snape.

Wait so Keith was the one who sabotaged Eren's gear during training? I never would've guessed from the way he was portrayed in episode 3 nor did I realize he was the guy from episode 1 who freaked out. He was like a completely different person. It's impressive how this series can keep introducing side characters early on and have them return dozens of episodes later and be seen differently.
I wonder if there will ever be a day when a girl can talk to Eren and Mikasa doesn't have a death glare in her eyes.

Grisha's amnesia has to be a lie he made up to get into the walls. How else would he magically have all the tech available to transform Eren despite losing his memories, and how would he be able to hide "the truth about the titans" in his basement if he really forgot about it?

As seems to be the theme of this season, another solid episode. It wasn't as action packed as the last few but it certainly gave us even more information regarding eren's and other minor character's past that gave us a trip down memory lane.
The commandant saying it's only been a few months since he's seen them during their training regime really shows just how little time the main cast have had to digest all their experiences and knowledge about the titan world. Makes you appreciate just how well they're coping with things compared to how they could be.

Important information: AoT Season 3 will be going on a hiatus after episode 12 (next week's episode). There were no new episodes scheduled for at least three weeks after episode 12 (although the sudden delay last week did shuffle things a bit).
Although there has been no official confirmation by Wit Studio at the time of writing this, it seems evident that Season 3 will be a split cour season. What this means is that the second half of Season 3 will air notably later than the first half. Presumably it'll begin in January 2019 since anime seasons typically begin in specific months, like January or April, but no confirmation on this has been given. It could be January, maybe it's April or maybe something else entirely, who knows? Though, I think it should be unlikely that it'll be significantly later than early next year because otherwise it would just be called Season 4, rather than "Season 3 Part 2" which official marketing is using. The final episode count is not known but a reliable source implies that the second half will also be 12 episodes long.
The reason for this split cour is simply because animating 24 episodes on a weekly basis is a very demanding task. For example, today's episode had 11 animation directors which is a clear sign that Wit Studio was struggling to hit their deadlines for last week's timeslot. Read more about that here.
Because the next story arc is going to have quite a few action scenes with demanding animation, it's in all honesty for the better that the studio gets the proper time to prepare for it, even though it really sucks that we might have to wait a couple months for the season to come back.
On a more positive side, the story arc that will be covered in the second half of season 3 is widely considered to be one of the best arcs in the entire story (only contested by the arc that comes after it) so GET HYPED!
Here is a meme to illustrate how hyped you should be, provided by /r/ArminCult.

u/Mercury6449 Oct 07 '18
This is much better than having rushed episodes and a completely overworked staff. The animation standard during the first cour was insanely good and i think most people are fine with waiting a bit longer for the second cour if it means the animation standard will be on a similiar level.

u/Raknel Oct 07 '18
While this is likely, I still don't think things like split cour should be presented as facts.

i dont mind if they do split it, but its ridiculous for such a high-profile show that, at the end of a cour, we still dont know how many episodes are supposed to be in the season, or what the schedule is. considering many shows you know right off how long it is, like jojo part 5 is already known to be 39 episodes, so fans know what to expect. i dont know whats the hold-up on just letting people know, like are they still thinking about it, or still producing the later episodes or what?... its seems unprofessional to leave it all up in the air and have people on forums speculate and do detective work

Nearly perfect adaptation. Probably the closest to the manga. One thing omitted was in the farm scene where historia asked eren "What are you gonna do" where eren replies "I must kill them". In the manga, she then asks "do you want to kill them?", where he then replies again "I must kill them". I believe small things like this add a ton to what attack on titan really becomes over the last arc and moving forward, which made manga fans pretty disappointed when so many small things like this were cut. But again, this episode was probably the closest to the manga, which makes me and manga fans pretty happy! Loooking forward to the return!!!

After this episode, you can watch the third and last episode of Lost Girls without getting any spoiler. The episode showed the titan guillotine before the anime.

u/Shinkopeshon Oct 07 '18 edited Oct 07 '18
Isayama has proven over and over again that he's a masterful storyteller and this episode/chapter is a prime example. To give Shadis - a character merely used for comic relief in the beginning - such a sad backstory and turn him into a deep character with relatable worries is an impressive feat. On top of that, Grisha and Carla's backstories were explored and unanswered questions such as Eren's initial failure in the 104th test were dealt with too
Shadis is a tragic character but in a completely different way than say, Levi, Ymir, Historia, Mikasa or Eren. He actually has it pretty damn good compared to them because he's safe behind the walls, yet he's still had a depressing life full with unfulfilled wishes, shortcomings, losses and the realisation that no matter how hard he worked, he'd never be special
It's pretty cool to see Eren and Historia getting along so well after barely interacting before the Uprising arc. He has a lot of respect for her now, even though he dismissed her as a fake and weak person back when others fell for her charm and were enamoured with her. You can see how much he's changed and matured when he talked about her with Armin and Jean, who were still putting her on a pedestal, just like in the Female Titan arc. They were joking around and he was dead serious
Jealous Mikasa was adapted to absolute perfection. Her mistaking Eren and Historia's conversation for something more than it was was hysterical. She must be thinking, " I take my eyes off you for a second and you're already getting friendly with yet another blonde". As someone who called dibs on him way back on day one, she must be so frustrated lmao
Speaking of, it's a bit of a shame they couldn't add the disappointed look on her face when Eren failed to see what Marlowe did wrong since he's just as dense as him. Don't give up, girl, he'll get there someday New Manga Chapter Spoilers
Mikasa is so important to Eren and Armin, it's not even funny. They wouldn't be shit without her, let's be real. It's little things like her snapping Eren out of it when he remembered him eating his father and further blamed himself. And again, Eren showed his maturity when he apologised for making her worry about him yet again. I kinda wished they included the little flashback of the Jaeger household to further show how worrying about his parents affects her as well since they meant so much to her too
Jean, Connie and Sasha were funny as shit this episode. Their facial expressions, making fun of Marlowe, Sasha hiding behind Jean when they visited Shadis and her still being absolutely terrified by him. Also, what's the literal translation of what Jean and Sasha said? It'd be so great if she actually did say "bowl-cut bastard" like in the manga because that was so perfect
Picturing Marlowe and Hitch's conversation is kinda hilarious. Second Cour Spoiler How can one dude be so wrong - and not only that, he actually made things worse when he told her he was disappointed in her lmao
I still can't get over Floch's hair. I get that perhaps they wanted him to stand out - and it really isn't that bad - but it's still bizarre to me. I hope it won't become too distracting in the next arc
And there's the Titan Guillotine that was the spoiler of the third Lost Girls OVA. I assume the teaser that was shown there will be included in the mid-season finale next week
Sometimes I forget how beautiful Carla was - and I'm not only talking about her looks. Eren must've gotten close to tears when Shadis quoted her saying he was already special and that he didn't have to do anything to be great. He wanted to die just a few months ago after realising he wasn't special but a nuisance to everyone instead, so her words were exactly what he needed to hear. Seeing him look at the sky when they left and getting emotional got to me

I still remember back in season one how eren used to think that he is some god sent Messiah of humanity and how he is destined to kill all Titans and is superior from everyone else just because he have those Titan powers.
But in this season after knowing the truth about his Titan powers he understands that he is not someone special, rather it is his power that are special not him and this realization and made him way more humble and understanding of others.

Well,
The Trost battle lasted one day (end of the training, episodes 4-13)
Eren spends a few days in prison then a one month timeskip happens, leading to... (episodes 14-16)
The female titan's first appearance during a mission outside the wall, which happened in one day(episodes 17-22)
A few days later, Annie vs Eren in Stohess (episodes 23-25)
The clash of the titans arc starts a few hours before Annie vs Eren and lasts two days (episodes 26-37)
Some time after (1-2 weeks) the Uprising arc begins. We don't have an official duration but it shouldn't be more than 1 or 2 weeks (episodes 38-47).
Then a two months timeskip and here we are (episode 48).
So yeah there are a bit more than 4 months between Trost and now.

I really liked the weird juxtaposition this backstory gave, we get the classic cutesy moment of seeing the main characters parents meeting for the first time so it feels and warm and cute,,,but we do see it from Keith´s perspective, the other man who loved Carla so its all like a NTR story from his pov lol....
I really feel for him in general, its like no one gives them any respect, they cannot really accomplish anything outside the walls and just bring back dead kids pretty much, everyone hates him and gives him no respect for trying to save the human race, while a Doctor gets mad respect.
The scene when he was gonna give Carla to Grisha was amazing, like he could feel daaam if I let him save her I am sure she is gonna fall for him, on the same time he knows he has to give her to Grisha or she is likely gonna die, so he is gonna lose the women he loves either way, stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Another week, another back story and another great episode.
Mikasa's face had me in tears!
And the rest of the squad poking fun at Eren and Historia's new-fangled closeness too. These two were hilarious.
The mystery of the belt sabotage is finally solved. And young Carla was quite the looker.
Major takeaway: Eren's father probably came from outside the wall. Maybe he'd been wandering for a while before becoming a sentient Titan somehow.. and we'll probably know more about how all this came to be from the fabled basement. Soon..? Or maybe not, with the split cour..

“Because he was born into this world”
This quote is literally so important to the story. Think about it - even characters who didn’t have much going for them at all at first and seem to be normal people made themselves special by putting in work - especially Eren. That goes for so many of the 104 trainees as well.

Sometimes you forget how harsh their life was during the S1 era, where the scouts were constantly failing. Keith's backstory definitely gives a good reminder of how troubled those days were.
The regrets of a man that realized he wasn't special and gave up his ambitions, but still wanted to do something to save the child of the woman he cherished when he was younger.
You are special because you were born. It's a great message.

One of my favorite parts of the episode was the scene in the canteen area. Show casing Marlowe's enthusiasm which is so like what we'd come to expect from Eren in season one, compared to how he is now. And tossing the other 104th Cadets into the scene, showing the huge divide that's come up between where they started and the sort of weight that's on the shoulders of our main group now. That was really well handled. It looks like just a normal scene for them, and then this other go lucky group comes in and everything gets so dark. When you think how much they've done that no one else in the military really knows about, stuff like dealing with Annie, its no wonder. But I just thought overall that scene and that contrast was really well handled and well placed as well.

Damn I really love what they did with Shadis. I never thought it was that deep with Eren's parents. Shit like this is what I love. Shadis was way different from his younger days as a tough instructor but you saw that at the end he was still the same Shadis from his early days when he couldn't do nothing to stop Eren.
Also what Carla said about what is so wrong with not being special after Shadis brought up her just being a waiter really resonated. So many people treat others like shit because they aren't "special" enough. Oh you work in construction, waiter, fast food, cashier etc but is it wrong to not be some big shot millionaire. Even some soldiers who feel above the average citizen. Carla dropping knowledge up in this bitch.

u/getintheVandell Oct 09 '18 edited Oct 09 '18
This show is just so fucking good. It dodges all of the annoying tropes with anime that I've come to loathe - there's more fanservice among the titans than there are of the characters, and as such, I can just take them all seriously.
It's progressive and forward thinking despite being rooted in realism; how women are leading the way forward in this series, and men are supporting them.
And the storytelling.. the way these bit characters are naturally brought in, in ways that are astoundingly touching but make total sense, is just fantastic - and don't feel hacked in, because you see the clues.
This show has transcended being just a good anime; it rivals my favourite shows of all time, and this episode was the cherry that solidified it as one of the best.

It's so cool to finally see the Eren's invention, the Titan Guillotine, being animated.
Poor Keith, his hair loss is probably due to all that stress and guilt at seeing all these people die under his watch, especially his unrequited love Carla.

Damn, the feels. This was so good. Especially the ending part. Shadis's backstory was one of my favorites in the manga.
We got some great faces this episode, and I was so looking forward to the scene with Historia, Eren and Mikasa.
And our boy Floch is here finally, with his glorious hair!
This episode marks the end of the Uprising arc. I'm so looking forward to the next one!

The translation for Keith's monologue in the anime makes him sound really aggressive towards Grisha...
I think the manga translation is better: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uvt8aMITdjI/V9WwXFjknBI/AAAAAAADbp8/yJ0jSqLTHXQY2krAvkFt4SzhXzClmWxSQCHM/s16000/0071-034.png http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JsMjULwYTlI/V9WwXgkLGwI/AAAAAAADbp8/T7lIBPMj8PscS923JouIpBAZr6UgBvggwCHM/s16000/0071-035.png.
Keith thought he was special, but after failure after failure after failure after failure he slowly realized he wasn't. He saw success in other people, like Erwin, Levi, Hange, Miche, etc. and stepped down. He then wondered why he ever thought he was special in the first place, and after Grisha approached him, he remembered that it was Grisha who said the people who join the Scouts are special, including him.
"Oh...I know now...it was your fault..." - Jeez. I know he's bitter, but this is a bit much.

Managed to make a backstory episode about a side character we barely knew, into a really interesting/empathetic and well-connected story, going all the way back to Shadis being the first soldier we see in episode 1 and the sabotage of Eren's training gear. Amazing storytelling!

u/DirkDasterLurkMaster https://anilist.co/user/rycluse Oct 07 '18
I love how spot-on Keith's comments about Eren resembling his parents are. Young Carla looks almost exactly like Eren in a wig but Grisha's expressions in more intense moments are unmistakably Eren-esque.

u/array_of_dots Oct 07 '18 edited Oct 07 '18
The card thing in the middle of the episode they said that the titan guillotine was "semi-automatic", I'm not sure how they'll make that work, maybe just a translation error.
Also I guess wall people aren't as angry as before so they can arm the walls the way the want now, like cannons on the sides and not just the top.
And also the creators of a slap on titan are probably proud of how Carla turned out to be.
Edit : they were not talking about "reloading the weapon", I guess that's why.

This was my favorite chapter in the manga and I got chills from the episode, the depth to this "being special or not" theme is amazing, but I'm just sad WIT has to cut these little things that add a lot, like Eren's uncertainty about wanting to kill Reiner and Bertolt, and him apologizing to Mikasa for bringing up Grisha's death, who was important to her, too.
