Attack On Titan 2: End Of The World

Synopsis: Having transformed into an ultimate Titan right in front of everyone, Eren now faces suspicion and fear from the rest of human kind. He is held captive and tortured by his own kind, who demands to know the truth behind his ability to transform into a Titan. Just when he is on the verge of receiving a bullet to his chest, he is saved by yet another powerful Titan, one with intellect just like him. Shikishima tells Eren about his past, where he was used as a subject by his own scientist father, who injected Titan DNA (that triggers explosive cell divisions) into Eren’s body when he was still a baby. Eren then reunited with his friends and fought to plug the hole in the wall, only to be prevented from doing so by strong forces. Numerous deaths and injuries follow, as Eren and his friends fight for honour and freedom and to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. 

Now, the final battle begins as they give their all to restore peace in their homeland… [Source: Golden Village]


The second installation continues to diverge even more from the original manga, to the point of almost creating a new story. Since when did the titan shifters revealed their identity when Eren was plugging the hole? Since when was the item used to plug the hole changed to a dud bomb? Since when did that "came out of the blue" squad leader is also a titan and plans to overthrow the government? This is getting confusing. I think it is better for me to go back to watch the anime....

Rate: 5/10 (For the special effects)
