Details of the extra scene & season 2 sneak peek from the SNK movie

The theatrical cut of the Female Titan arc from SNK season 1 (titled as Shingeki no Kyojin Kouhen - Jiyuu no Tsubasa) was released in theaters yesterday. I saw it last night. Perhaps by now the details of the newly added season 1 scene and the season 2 cut scene are already making their rounds, but here is my own report about them, from my own (informal, fangirly) perspective!

(Please be warned there are SPOILERS below the cut, particularly for anime season 2, where I also allude to recent manga chapters!)

THE EXTRA SCENE

The newly added scene ended up being a flashback placed at the beginning of the movie. It was a more fleshed-out and symbolism heavy version of the Eren/Annie sparring scene. It also included some of the Eren & Annie moments from the manga that were left out, like her offering to teach Eren her moves. The purpose seemed to be to give us a good look at Annie’s fighting stance right off the bat (with this and all the other Annie scenes they left in, they definitely made it way less ambiguous who the identity of the FT is) as well as perhaps cutting Eren a little more slack as to why he was so reluctant to accept Annie as the spy, because of their bonding time. There’s also a “cliffhanger” end to the flashback, when Mikasa asks Annie to teach her the moves too and so the girls are about to face-off with each other while the question, “Annie vs Mikasa… Who will win?” is left hanging in the air. It’s kind of neat because then it makes Mikasa’s “Annie… fall” way more poignant at the end of the movie ;)

THE SEASON 2 CUT SCENE

And the season 2 sneak peak! They turned it into a stinger scene during the end credits and is the scene from the manga when Hange interrogates Nick in chapter 34 (from approximately pg 12, when the soldiers are gawking at the wall titan, until pg 26 when Hange says ねぇ… ニック司祭？壁って全部巨人でできてるの？ (Hey Priest Nick? Are all the walls made with titans?) If you read those pages you can imagine it well, because it was exactly like that! I also noticed Hange’s squad was there, including Nifa(!!!!), who has bright Isabel-like cherry red hair (at first I was like WHAT THE FRICKY FRACKLE but now I just think the anime staff is evil and wants to give Levi an extra bit of angst later on, if you follow my logic >;D) Anyway the scene was exciting, it was fun seeing Hange in GLASSES ARE OFF LET’S GET DANGEROUS mode, then abruptly reverts back to LOL JUST KIDDING! In general, it’s making me excited for all the conspiracy-related stuff they’re going to cover in the anime next season, I think it’s going to be really intense!

Unfortunately there was no new additional information about season 2… So for now, its exact air date remains a mystery ;3;
