I see, they´re creating a relatively peaceful atmosphere now, just to destroy it again later on. My only gripe this week is how quickly Eren lost his determination when he panicked about not passing the gear test. Even IF he´d fail the recon entry test ... so what? You swore to kill all titans, you swore it to your dead mother. So just leave these soldiers and train by yourself. Become a lone fighter. Here it seemed as if he had given up all his plans, had he not let become part of the trainee camp. Silly.

Btw. I hope they´re stopping with these time skips rather sooner than later. It´s okay for now, since we saw the hero as a child, now at the beginning of his training. But hopefully the story finds a more seamless, smoother pace from now on.
