Calling Annie crazy is kind of oversimplifying her character. The author of the series even stated that Annie's laugh represented her releasing a variety of emotions, shock, fear, guilt and even relief that she no longer has to hide her secret anymore. This episode even shows that Annie is a relatively good person at heart with respectable morals,so while she may be an antagonist, she isn't necessarily a villain.
Black Wings While I agree with you for the most part, but she did kinda only attack people who attacked her first, we never saw her initiate murderous acts until she was provoked, so it's not like that was her main focus. I don't disagree that she's definitely a villain to the people inside the wall, I was just basically trying to humanize her a little bit for us viewers and I think what's presented in the episode kinda shows who she is.
MRC True, but there are already some things that the viewers should understand at this point as well. Such as the fact that Annie showed compassion, regret, guilt, and even tears at one point or another. What's my point? She isn't pure evil. Next episode, aside from the end, even the beginning of the episode helps add another level of understanding to her character.
Annie is laughing bc it’s her letting all her hated and guilt out. The creator of AoT/SnK said that it would be better as a laugh than a smile. So, fun lil fact right there :p
This scene was changed heavily in the anime from the manga. I would say that it is best to just ignore that weird laughing fit they decided to add. She isn't crazy.
Alex Johnson It was supposed to represent her releasing the emotions she'd pent up along with relief of not keeping her secret anymore I believe. It's really easy to interpret it as her just being insane though...
She isnt crazy at all, this laugh has another meaning its not always as simple as in dragonball :) thats something the author spoiled himself before the actual reveal in the manga, so i think i can tell you that much
Wonders Mikasa showed much more emotions in one episode than everyone else in the series. at least more than the one who casually killed nearly 100 soldiers and woke up in the morning as if nothing happened. Annie will play an important role in the final arc so let's wait and see
When Annie called herself a “frail girl” she was actually saying how she felt inside but it seemed like a joke, and when she started laughing, imagine having to hide the fact that your a spy among the enemies for years, and that weight lifted off her shoulders when her secret got revealed, that’s why she laughed,
She isnt a psycho just because she laugh.. It was actually a laugh of relief because she finally reveal her secret that she been keeping for a long time.
Lol what are you talking about the female titans identity is way too obvious. Especially with the way the show builds up the female titans identity and then suddenly shifts POV to Annie
@simone rz @polygon If you guys want a pat on the back for demonstrating how “smart you were for figuring it out”, you guys are not going to get it from me. It’s not my job to take care your egos
hey man don't be so mean you might hurt my feelings :/ If you couldn't figure out that the female titan was annie then IDK what to tell you. Every reactor I've seen that's watched AoT has always predicted that the FT was Annie purely because it wouldn't make narrative sense to be anyone else. And as I said, the poor decision by the studio to suddenly shift to her POV is another factor that gave it away.
polygon I watched it on a weekly basis when it came out, so I don’t recall if I did see it coming or not. lol and it’s not “every reactor”. A lot of them were spoiled, which is why some people consider the attack on titan community to be horrible. But still you guys are pretty funny
The reaction at the: To be continued was so genuine xD It's really entertaining how you've been getting more and more involved in the series as you passed the episodes one by one. Keep it up cutie!
Yeah, as some others have already pointed out - Annie is not crazy at all, I'd actually argue that she's far more "woke" than any of the other characters involved in this part of the story. I have to say, though, that this particular scene didn't really turn out to be quite what the author wanted it to be when he added it. In my opinion it's all in the direction, animation and the delivery of the line, or "the laugh". It was supposed to show the viewer that Annie was overcome by emotions and that she was, in the end, relieved that she didn't have to lie to them anymore. For many it turned out to be just a tad too easily confused with the (in anime) stereotypical "female antagonist laughing, trying to assert her dominance". Anyways, now that the cat's out of the bag I can freely talk about Annie. Or well, not freely of course, but the "big reveal" has taken place so talking about how much I love her character doesn't bring any unwanted attention to her that could ruin the reveal. Not that it wasn't already clear that she was your prime suspect or anything, you just didn't remember her name which is very understandable given her limited screen time. Anyways, she is easily my favorite character in Attack on Titan.
"Isn't that how normal humans are?" "I just..." "Want weak people that are trapped in the flow to be considered human too" These sentences are the most important Annie's character side we see in the show. I haven't read manga, but seen these words many times and always makes me understand her more. Later on people who have seen season 2 understand what I am talking as I don't want to spoil anything here, but at this point it's good to remember these what Annie is saying.
Annie's lough seems crazy but was actually out of relief, that her identity had been discovered and she didn't have to pay attention and try hard to not be discovered anymore. (At least that's what Isayama, the creator of the series said)
"I just want weak people that are trapped in the flow to be considered human too" Woaw, that sentence makes so much more sense when you know what's going on in scans.
You were the first to ever put the pieces together at the beginning of the episode and realize it was annie... even I’m guilty of being an oblivious idiot until the end of the episode
A lot of bullsh*t reactors act like they're not watched it or read it before to look smart when predict things. Filmbuff is not one of them, he's like a real dedective (Annie & Armin) in his reviews. I really like his videos.
"I just want weak people that are trapped in the flow to be considered human too." - Annie Lionheart You will understand this line way later into the series, though some events in S2 did hinted to this statement.
lol annie is not psychotic. She was relieved but at the same time failed her mission. The fact that you think she is a monster means that you have so much to learn about the show.
Eren says Annie isn't a frail girl because she can flip a massive dude around, but now that I think about it, she can still be a frail girl emotionally. And since Isayama confirmed what that laughing fit was all about - relief from the guilt and finally being found out - just confirms even more that Annie is frail emotionally despite her cold exterior.
Then ready to start season 2. It gets really good. P.s. this isn't meant to be criticism or anything, just an opinion. But i like the way you positioned the camera from your older reaction videos. Right now it seems so squished in the corner. Lol Anyway love the reactions. 🖒
I literally just started watching your channel and it pretty good gota jus get more in-depth with your analyst. you the best though for real doin good keep it up that's what'll get you subs and likes
when you watch or read about Annie's background further into the series you won't see her as crazy but as sane as Mikasa is surviving in an insane world and when you catch up to season 3 this year on the lost girls episodes you'll love Annie more personal note: you don't need to watch attack on titan only in Japanese its also in english so you don't need to read below what their saying
I'm tempted not to see until Sunday to see the 3 chapters in a row ... Surprise!! i gues... By this time, while Mikasa, Armin and Eren fight against Annie. The events that start the second season have already begun.
Just know that Annie is not crazy. You'll understand a lot more during season 2 and a little more about her personality if you watch the *Lost Girls OVAs.*
She's not psychotic. (First because, psychosis is a mental illness and doesn't result in being sadistic or violent) 2nd : she didn't find it funny. She was doing a nervous breakdown. Her laugh was nervous. Also if you keep watching, you'll see she had reasons one can understand if not justify. It's a morally gray area
Thank u so much bro u just made my day i was ok like same old same as u know between season 1 and 2 was few years. But thanks for telling me that but on what date they said ?????
Bro just an advice don't read comments I have watched the show and some of the things were already spoiled for me and most of them were from comments section
Calling Annie crazy is kind of oversimplifying her character. The author of the series even stated that Annie's laugh represented her releasing a variety of emotions, shock, fear, guilt and even relief that she no longer has to hide her secret anymore.

Will 97 but at this point in the story the lines between good and evil haven't blurred yet so shhhh no spoilers
I dk what others says about her...still my fav char
Black Wings While I agree with you for the most part, but she did kinda only attack people who attacked her first, we never saw her initiate murderous acts until she was provoked, so it's not like that was her main focus. I don't disagree that she's definitely a villain to the people inside the wall, I was just basically trying to humanize her a little bit for us viewers and I think what's presented in the episode kinda shows who she is.

yeah true
Annie is laughing bc it’s her letting all her hated and guilt out. The creator of AoT/SnK said that it would be better as a laugh than a smile. So, fun lil fact right there :p
I KNEW IT WAS ANNIE!!! And she is CRAZY AF!! Check out the next reaction Tomorrow morning at 9 am! PACIFIC TIME!
SuperMechaFrieza It was unexpected, the first time I never expected it, it was one of the biggest surprises I had in the animate world.
This scene was changed heavily in the anime from the manga. I would say that it is best to just ignore that weird laughing fit they decided to add. She isn't crazy.
Alex Johnson It was supposed to represent her releasing the emotions she'd pent up along with relief of not keeping her secret anymore I believe. It's really easy to interpret it as her just being insane though...
Alex Johnson The author actually gave his approval for adding that
She isnt crazy at all, this laugh has another meaning its not always as simple as in dragonball :) thats something the author spoiled himself before the actual reveal in the manga, so i think i can tell you that much
Annie’s laugh was her releasing her feelings of guilt and regret so she can be much easier with transforming, Isiyama confirmed this.
Annie is probably one of the most interesting characters of Season 1. There's so much complexity and intrigue behind her cold, dead eyes.
Hrundi V Bakshi I hope I can find why everyone likes her. I really want to find something interesting in her character because so far I foumd none.
Faisal Adel read the Manga then
Faisal Adel You'll eventually find out why later
she has alot more character depth then mikasa ever will
Wonders Mikasa showed much more emotions in one episode than everyone else in the series. at least more than the one who casually killed nearly 100 soldiers and woke up in the morning as if nothing happened.
Annie will play an important role in the final arc so let's wait and see
There´s a LOT more to Annie than it may appear, she´s more than a "cold crazy psychopath". Love your reactions, keep up the good work. :)
I'm rewatching your AoT reactions again. I've watched the show like 10 times by watching reactions to it.
lol same here
me and you the same i love wathcing other people reacting to it, so amazing to watch.
After watching the show and rewatching the best bits, you start to really appreciate the art and meaning behind it
When Annie called herself a “frail girl” she was actually saying how she felt inside but it seemed like a joke, and when she started laughing, imagine having to hide the fact that your a spy among the enemies for years, and that weight lifted off her shoulders when her secret got revealed, that’s why she laughed,
Annie was pretty hot in this episode
So bad
You look a lot like Annie 😳
2 years late but LLOLLL
She is laughing out of relief
Lmaooo how u smacked ur hands when it said to be continued like you were about to smack someone 😂
She isnt a psycho just because she laugh.. It was actually a laugh of relief because she finally reveal her secret that she been keeping for a long time.
You had great foresight in seeing it was Annie. Though I suspect you won’t see the next big reveal coming.
Lol what are you talking about the female titans identity is way too obvious. Especially with the way the show builds up the female titans identity and then suddenly shifts POV to Annie

W Meito hey thanks for the reply! Glad to know you REALLY care! :)
The reaction at the: To be continued was so genuine xD
It's really entertaining how you've been getting more and more involved in the series as you passed the episodes one by one. Keep it up cutie!

Oh man, I've been waiting for this ! And congratulations to notice a few episodes ago who the Female Titan was
Annie's lough seems crazy but was actually out of relief, that her identity had been discovered and she didn't have to pay attention and try hard to not be discovered anymore.
(At least that's what Isayama, the creator of the series said)
Oh, I just saw many others already wrote the same thing. Oh well :D
Do not forgot ova's after season one
I dont wanna cry again with the OVA No Regrets please 😥😥
Do not watch Annie's OVAs though, they contain major season 2 spoilers! :D
OVA No regret 😭
Those people holding Annie were the families of Levi squad, I'm pretty sure
Annie isn't crazy.
just because someone is wrong, doesn't mean you have to tell them right away.
it does
Dominic Caciappo HAHAHAHA
Dominic Caciappo
You are also wrong. But i waited 6 hours to tell you that, i hope you can sleep well now.
I like how you ended last time JUST before the episode with the big reveal, and you wanted to know it SO badly too XD
"I just want weak people that are trapped in the flow to be considered human too"
Woaw, that sentence makes so much more sense when you know what's going on in scans.
From this point 7:02, I read manga chapter back and forth more than ten times until the reveal. I remember I underestimated Armin a bit back then.
Looking forward to these next reactions. Love the outro music, never heard that version of “unravel”
You were the first to ever put the pieces together at the beginning of the episode and realize it was annie... even I’m guilty of being an oblivious idiot until the end of the episode
Kinyachta Toliver Should see filmbuff lol. He called it from the first time he saw her xD
A lot of bullsh*t reactors act like they're not watched it or read it before to look smart when predict things. Filmbuff is not one of them, he's like a real dedective (Annie & Armin) in his reviews. I really like his videos.
4:30 that quote hits hard after seeing all of the events that are to come after it.
"I just want weak people that are trapped in the flow to be considered human too." - Annie Lionheart
You will understand this line way later into the series, though some events in S2 did hinted to this statement.
mark nichol malinao *sighs* yep
What do you mean can you explain please I seen both seasons and don't know what you mean
Kiddd Kiddd It's wayy later in the series so telling you now would be spoilers.
Lalisa T is it in season 2 if yes what episode? I seen both seasons
Kiddd Kiddd Not in any of these seasons yet. I'm a manga reader so trust me when I say it's wayy later :P
lol annie is not psychotic. She was relieved but at the same time failed her mission. The fact that you think she is a monster means that you have so much to learn about the show.
What!? No! Are you kidding me?
Haha, always worth to wait for the reaction
Eren says Annie isn't a frail girl because she can flip a massive dude around, but now that I think about it, she can still be a frail girl emotionally. And since Isayama confirmed what that laughing fit was all about - relief from the guilt and finally being found out - just confirms even more that Annie is frail emotionally despite her cold exterior.
You can tell Eren held Annie in high regard which makes the revelation even more painful him.
I love your "Haaa you're all gonna die" too cute :3
Annie actually is really nice there are several hints before the reveal that she is stressed out by what she's doing.
Hi guys! so today... I love it!
Then ready to start season 2. It gets really good.
P.s. this isn't meant to be criticism or anything, just an opinion. But i like the way you positioned the camera from your older reaction videos. Right now it seems so squished in the corner. Lol
Anyway love the reactions. 🖒
I literally just started watching your channel and it pretty good gota jus get more in-depth with your analyst. you the best though for real doin good keep it up that's what'll get you subs and likes
SnK is the best Emotional anime evert,,all is perfect:,technic charater Ost 🎶💗🎶..Grandiose
Very good Mecha. Annie it's her name and you always be right.
I wonder if she checked out the after-credit clips. kind of late now that she's watching them back to back.
So the female titan was you, all this time, never imagine that SuperMechaFrieza was the female titan
The music at the end killed me lol
10:27 She is like smash that like button
when you watch or read about Annie's background further into the series you won't see her as crazy but as sane as Mikasa is surviving in an insane world and when you catch up to season 3 this year on the lost girls episodes you'll love Annie more
personal note: you don't need to watch attack on titan only in Japanese its also in english so you don't need to read below what their saying
Yay we are about to watch season 2 soon
0:58 should be a meme lol adorable reaction.
I want a montage of all of your end-of-episode 'what?! That's it?! It can't end there!" reactions.
Can't wait for you watch season 2 before 3 starts
Lol I actually wait for your reaction to "to be continued” more
8:42 "the big reveal" hahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm tempted not to see until Sunday to see the 3 chapters in a row ...
Surprise!! i gues...
By this time, while Mikasa, Armin and Eren fight against Annie. The events that start the second season have already begun.
I cant believe theres still people that are on season 1
She figured it out before the actual reveal lol
Just know that Annie is not crazy. You'll understand a lot more during season 2 and a little more about her personality if you watch the *Lost Girls OVAs.*
Annie is second fav. First is kuklo from before the fall manga
0:42 LOL
They didn't do it because the titan looked like annie but because she had the gear of a guy that died im battle where the female titan was.
Eren, of course, is in complete denial of one of his comrades being bad.
Idk, but any smiling looks really cute
Once you finish season 1 and 2 go back and watch the episodes you'll notice a lot of stuff the second time around .
what's the song's name at the end please ?
Annie is the best
Are you gonna be doing reactions to season 2
Great reaction
It will be awesome ☺💎💞
CALI PRIDE!!! JK I wish Frieza would blow up this state lol...
Next episode will be amazing believe me
the main plotline for the story is confusion that's why the creaters do that if you read youre comments
Before Season 2, don't 4get to watch OVA No Regret first for Levi back story plz,.. ignore another OVA... not really important..
Armin misses u annie :(
Annie went full Himiko Toga
Wait until the second season
Will you react to berserk tho? Be careful, I literally felt like vomiting after the end of season one.
Well you should watch Akame Ga kill, you’ll shed a tear or two
If only you knew the pain us manga readers have gone through, if only.
Annie has always been my favorite character other than mikasa
She's not psychotic.
(First because, psychosis is a mental illness and doesn't result in being sadistic or violent)
2nd : she didn't find it funny. She was doing a nervous breakdown. Her laugh was nervous.
Also if you keep watching, you'll see she had reasons one can understand if not justify.
It's a morally gray area
Goddammit girl season 1 is nothing.... It's seasonal da best bombshell ❤️
How was it.......??
The more u watch the more it will drag u to the next one....

By the way season 3 it will be after 3 to 4 years 😓😓😓
